國外的邁親做致敬視頻,用的音樂是歌手Luther Vandross (路德?文德斯)唱的一首歌,歌名叫《每一年,每個圣誕節》。雖然三年過去了,我們思念Michael的心并沒有改變,很多人或許都在心里跟Michael說,每一年,每個圣誕節,我都會在這里等你。
Luther Vandross是美國著名的歌手、作詞和音樂制作人,曾獲八項格萊美獎,專輯銷量約為兩千五百萬張。由于Vandross在R&B方面的深厚造詣,網上曾有人一定要將Michael和Luther比較,結果很多歌迷都說,Luther善于敘事、抒情,Michael擅長節奏、旋律,兩個人在各自的領域里都有臻至完美的表現,并無高下可比。Luther與Michael雖然合作不多,但在Michael發起的“邁克爾和他的朋友們(Michael & His Friends)”慈善演出,以及他的從藝30周年紀念晚會上,Luther均積極參與。只是Luther一直患有高血壓和糖尿病,2005年因心臟病逝于新澤西州埃迪遜的一所醫院,年僅54歲。
《每一年、每個圣誕節》由Richard Marks作詞,Luther Vandross作曲。這首歌聽起來就像是為MJ而作一樣貼切。
I don't know how love could do this to me
I've waited and waited for someone I've never seen
But I'm so sentimental, and I'm so hopeful you'll be here
So, here I am every year, every Christmas.
I've wished for you in my heart and in my head
And I got my answer that first moment that we met
And, oh yes, I believed you as you told me, as you said
You'd be here every year, every Christmas
There must be a lesson for me to learn
If you don't trust in love, you'll get nothing in return
Why should I be lonely, don't tell me it's fine
I have my pride, but I'd rather be with you tonight
So much emotion, it's driving me mad (yeah)
But I'll take my chances with these feelings that I have
And I'll come back to this same corner where we met
And I'll be here every year, every Christmas
Mere words can't explain the pain and the fear
'Cause oh, I wonder, yes, I wonder are you gonna
leave me standing here
Today's almost over, but I don't wanna leave
Has my heart made a fool out of me?
My friends gather round me with holiday cheer
They say to forget you, to let you go
'cause you're not here
Well, I can't keep explaining what they'll never understand
And why I'm here every year, every Christmas
I return every year, every Christmas
I come here every year, every Christmas
不知道愛怎么能如此待我
一直等著那個從未見過面的你
但我是如此傷感,滿心滿意覺得你會來
所以每一年,每一年圣誕我都會在這兒等你
我心心念念希冀著你
相遇那一刻我就知曉了答案
啊,是的,我相信,就像你告訴我的那樣
你說你,每一年,每一年圣誕,都會在這里
我該接受的教訓是
如果你不相信愛,你就不會得到任何回報
為什么孤獨的是我,別對我說一切都會好
我有我的尊嚴,可是今夜我更愿和你在一起
太多的情感,使我瘋狂(是的)
可是我要用這些感情碰碰運氣
我會回到我們相遇的這個角落
我會每一年,每一年圣誕都在那里
言語無法解釋的疼痛和恐懼
因為,啊,我總在想,你是否就讓我站在這兒
今天馬上就要過去了,可是我不想離開
我的心是否已把我愚弄
我的朋友們用節日的歡樂圍繞著我
他們說,忘了你,放你離去,因為你不在這里
哎,我沒法不停解釋他們永不會懂的事
還有為什么每一年、每個圣誕我都會在這里
每一年、每一年圣誕我都回來
每一年、每一年圣誕我都來這里
