樂團主唱老孔列出明年一月BBB的演出歌單,其中有一首外國人(Foreigner)合唱團的「Waiting for a girl like you」,先前老孔便提到這首歌 keyboard 角色吃重,剛剛一聽果然如此。由起初漸強的電子合成器音色開始,便至少有三層 Keyboard 的音色在進行....。雖然最近的演出中,開始嘗試雙手分奏不同音色,但是同時演出三層音色,除非是加入舌頭或腳丫吧。不過今天想推的是另外一首:That was yesterday,與前一首同樣出自 1984 專輯「Agent Provocateur」。高中聽這首歌時並未仔細研讀歌詞,只是喜愛它的旋律與編曲。今天細細讀了一番,發現內容是關於追悼已逝的友誼,而現在僅能帶著僅存的自尊獨自屹立,向昨日道別。帶著感傷的心情堅強存活著,與現在的心境頗有相通之處...。
That was yesterday - Foreigner (1984)
Another Live version - 應該是200年後重聚的演出,年紀大卻依然有 feeling
I thought I knew you well
But all this time I could never tell
I let you get away
Haunts me every night and every day
You were the only one
The only friend that I counted on
How could I watch you walk away
Id give anything to have you here today
But now I stand alone with my pride
And dream that youre still by my side
But that was yesterday
I had the world in my hands
But its not the end of my world
Just a slight change of plans
That was yesterday
But today life goes on
No more hiding in yesterday
cause yesterdays gone
Love, my love I gave it all
Thought I saw the light
When I heard you call
Life that we both could share
Has deserted me
Left me in despair
But now I stand alone with my pride
Fighting back the tears I never let myself cry
But that was yesterday
Love was torn from my hands
But its not the end of my world
Just a little hard to understand
That was yesterday
But today life goes on
You wont find me in yesterdays world
Now yesterdays gone
Goodbye yesterday
Now its over and done
Still I hope somewhere deep in your heart
Yesterday will live on
