Lynyrd Skynyrd
一首非常经典,非常摇滚,非常美国南方的歌曲。
听着这首歌你一定会想一路开向广阔的远方。
你可能不知道的是,这首歌一度引起了一些争议:因为它的作者一个来自于佛罗里达,另一个来自于加利福尼亚—— 没有一个来自于阿拉巴马。
事实上当初作这首歌的目的是为了回应Neil Young的两首歌“Southern Man”和“Alabama”。
这两歌讲述的是美国南部的种族主义和奴隶制,但是“Sweet Home Alabama”的作者们却认为Neil Young为了“杀死一两只鸭子而对所有鸭子开枪射击”。

「Rocket Man」
Elton John
She packed my bags last night pre-flight
Zero hour nine AM
And I'm gonna be high as a kite by then
I miss the earth so much I miss my wife
It's lonely out in space
On such a timeless flight
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
'Till touch down brings me round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Oh no no no I'm a rocket man
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone

Elton John - Live From Moscow (Live From Moscow / 1979)
Elton John
Elton John的一首著名歌曲,于1972年4月14日发行。
这首歌的灵感来自于Ray Brandury的“The Illustrated Man”,同时也是为了向David Bowie在1969年创作的歌曲“Space Oddity”致敬。
歌曲描述了一位即将飞向火星执行任务的宇航员在即将离开家时的复杂心理感受。
最后请广大球迷注意:此歌并非休斯顿火箭队官方队歌,而是CCTV5自己乱点的鸳鸯谱。

「Should I Stay or Should I Go」
The Clash
Darling you got to let me know
Should I stay or should I go?
If you say that you are mine
I'll be here 'til the end of time
So you got to let me know
Should I stay or should I go?
It's always tease, tease, tease
You're happy when I'm on my knees
One day it's fine and next it's black
So if you want me off your back
Well, come on and let me know
Should I stay or should I go?
Should I Stay or Should I Go
The Clash - From Here to Eternity: Live
The Clash
这首歌是英国朋克乐队The Clash在专辑《Combat Rock》中的一首歌。
歌曲作于1981年,是该乐队唯一登上英国单曲榜的第一的歌曲。
如果你感觉这首歌听着很熟悉,那就对了。因为它正是去年Netflix大火的剧《怪奇物语》(Stranger Things)中Will唱的那首歌。

「American Pie」
Don McLean
I can't remember if I cried
When I read about his widowed bride
Something touched me deep inside
The day the music died
So
Bye, bye Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
And them good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singin' this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die
Don McLean
一首堪称史诗级的作品。
1971年,一直默默无闻的美国民谣歌手Don McLean在灵感泉涌中写下了一首超长的歌曲《American Pie》(美国派),不仅使他一夜成名,而且把他和他的这首作品一直流传到了21世纪的今天。
这首歌长达8分34秒,如果作品里没有引人入胜的叙事性、没有内蕴幽远的深刻性,很难让人们津津乐道并传颂几十年。
除了《American Pie》,Don McLean还有另外一首史诗级的作品 —— 伟大的《Vincent》。

「Take Me Home, Country Roads」
John Denver
Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, blowing like a breeze
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
All my memories gather round her
Miner's lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
John Denver
说到公路经典歌曲,怎么能少了伟大的John Denver,伟大的《Take Me Home, Country Roads》。
说这首歌是国人最熟悉的美国乡村歌曲一点也不为过。
优美的歌词,动人的旋律,触及灵魂的吟唱。
乐曲轻快、自然、深情又和谐,仿佛带你进入了一幅幅美到窒息的乡村美景。让你瞬间勾起对家乡的思念,热泪盈眶。
乡村的故事就包含在这首歌中,只不过是每个人的乡村都是独一无二的。
