昨天在yahoo首頁,當「麥可傑克森驟逝,得年50歲」這幾個字赫然映入眼簾時,根本讓人一下子無法反應過來。舉世聞名的天王巨星麥可,竟然就這樣悄悄地結束其短暫又精彩的一生,對照他生前的那些風風雨雨,似乎有點諷刺。

麥可給我的印象....一生充滿傳奇性卻也備受爭議:獨創的月球漫步,還有像45度角傾斜、機械舞等等出神入化的舞步都是他的招牌動作,每次總是讓人看得目瞪口呆、嘖嘖稱奇,再加上他那不自覺就會手摸下身的動作,都成為麥可專屬的個人特色。全球各地掀起一股麥可旋風,全世界歌迷為之瘋狂,並引發一股模仿熱潮,記得那時台灣的綜藝節目常有人模仿麥可的月球漫步,也都模仿得維妙維肖。

麥可在舞台上的魅力大概無人能出其右,如日中天的巨星風采讓他成為媒體追逐的焦點,全世界都在觀注他的動向,也為他帶來盛名之累,卻也將他推向另一處深淵,漸漸地開始傳出麥可的負面消息,整型風波、戀童疑雲....等等正常人眼中離經叛道的行徑一一浮出,也為他帶來兩極化的評價。我常在想,是否他為了維持知名度而故意製造引人注意的話題,如此才能繼續處在世界的頂端。背後的他,內心深處或許是孤獨的吧,只是他就像天邊的一顆星星離我好遙遠,對我而言,麥可始終是個謎樣的人物,他搞什麼名堂似乎與我不相干。不過他那充滿是非風雨的戲劇化人生卻也為他交織出精彩的一生,這都將隨著他的驟逝成為樂壇永遠的話題。


在接觸音樂世界的過程中,因緣際會下也聽到一些麥可的歌曲,幾年下來總共珍藏了7首麥可的歌,不多,但曲曲珍貴。「Beat It」、「Rock With You」是較為人熟知的,「You are not alone」是麥可少見的抒情歌,「Heal the world」是麥可為慈善而唱的一首抒情歌,旋律清新感人,這應該也是麥可形象最好的時候吧。其他三首1972~1975年「The Jackson 5傑克森兄弟」時期的歌,...「Ben」是麥可小時候為電影「金鼠王」配唱的主題曲,「I'll Be There」是麥可與其四位兄長合唱,「One Day In Your Life」這首歌我非常喜歡,完全聽不出是麥可唱的。這三首傑克森兄弟時期的歌也讓我看到麥可年少時最純真單純的一面,也是最真實的一面,讓我寧願相信他後來醜陋的另一面或許只是虛假的。

我就po上自己最喜歡的四首歌來祝福麥可一路好走,相信麥可的歌聲將永傳世間。安息吧!麥可~~

ps:麥可於1958 年出生,1966 年八歲時和兄長以 Jackson 5 為團名開始闖盪歌壇。1971 年發行首張個人專輯,直到 80 年代以後,終於大放異彩,成為世界超級巨星。

Micheal Jackson麥可傑克森 - Heal the world拯救世界

Michael Jackson - Heal the World 拯救世界 (獻給全世界的孩子們)-原版MTV

Heal the world Michael Jackson

There's a place in your heart
And I know that it is love
And this place could be much brighter than tomorrow
And if you really try
You'll find there's no need to cry
In this place you'll feel there's no hurt or sorrow

There are ways to get there
If you care enough for the living
Make a little space
Make a better place...

Heal the world, make it a better place
For you and for me and the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me

If you want to know why
There's a love that cannot lie
Love is strong, it only cares of joyful giving
If we try, we shall see
In this bliss, we cannot feel fear or dread
We stop existing and start living

Then it feels that always
Love's enough for us growing
So make a better world
Make a better world...

And the dream we were conceived in
Will reveal a joyful face
And the world we once believed in
Will shine again in grace
Then why do we keep strangling life
Wound this earth. Crucify its soul
Though it's plain to see
This world is heavenly be God's glow

We could fly so high
Let our spirits never die
In my heart I feel you are all my brothers
Create a world with no fear
Together we cry happy tears
See the nations turn their swords into plowshares
We could really get there
If you cared enough for the living
Make a little space
To make a better place...

There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me
拯救世界       麥可傑克森

在你心中有個地方
我知道那裡有愛
這個地方可以比明天更耀眼
如果你真的努力過
你會發覺不需哭泣
在這個地方,你感覺不到傷痛或煩憂

到那兒的路很多
如果你真心關懷生者
營造一些空間
創造一個更美好的地方…

治癒這世界,使它成為更好的地方
為你、為我,也為了全人類
不斷的有人死去
如果你真心關懷生者
為你,為我,創造一個更美好的地方

如果你想知道緣由
愛,它不會說謊
愛是堅強的,它在乎的是喜悅的奉獻
若我們嘗試,我們將明白
在喜樂中,我們感受不到恐懼與憂慮
我們不再只是活著,而是真正的開始生活

然後,那感覺將持續下去
愛足夠我們成長
創造一個更美好的世界
創造一個更美好的世界…

我們構思中的夢想
將展露喜悅的面貌
我們曾經信賴的世界
會在祥和中再次閃耀
然而,我們為何仍在扼殺生命
傷害了地球,處死其靈魂
雖然這很容易明白
這世界天生就是上帝的榮光

我們可以在高空飛翔
讓我們的精神不滅
在我心中,我感覺到你我都是兄弟
共同創造一個沒有恐懼的世界
我們一起流下喜悅的淚水
看著許多國家把刀劍變成了犁
我們真的可以做到
如果你真心關懷生者
營造一些空間
創造一個更美好的地方…

不斷的有人死去
如果你真心關懷生者
為你,為我創造一個更美好的地方

Jackson five - Ben(1972年)

  

Ben         Michael Jackson

Ben, the two of us need look no more
We both found what we were looking for
With a friend to call my own
I'll never be alone
And you, my friend, will see
You've got a friend in me

Ben, you're always running here and there
You feel you're not wanted anywhere
If you ever look behind
And don't like what you find
There's one thing you should know
You've got a place to go

I used to say "I" and "me"
Now it's "us", now it's "we"

Ben, most people would turn you away
I don't listen to a word they say
They don't see you as I do
I wish they would try to
I'm sure they'd think again
If they had a friend like Ben

Like Ben
(Like Ben)
Like Ben
          麥可傑克森

班,我倆不需再尋覓
我倆都已找到想要的
屬於自己的朋友
我不再孤獨
而你,我的朋友,你會明白
你找到了知己

班,你總是東奔西跑
你覺得再也沒有人需要你
如果你曾回頭望
卻不喜所見
你必須明白一件事
有個地方是屬於你的

我過去常說"I"和"me"
現在,改成了"us"和"we"

班,大部分的人都拒你於門外
我不想聽他們的說詞
他們不像我一樣了解你
我希望他們能試試看
我相信人們會重新思考
只要他們有個像班一樣的朋友

像班一樣
(像班一樣)
像班一樣

這是麥可傑克森小時候唱的一首電影主題曲。

Jackson 5 - I'll Be There(1970年)


I'll be there       Jackson 5

You and I must make a pact
We must bring salvation back
Where there is love, I'll be there
I'll reach out my hand to you
I'll have faith in all you do
Just call my name and I'll be there

I'll be there to comfort you
Build my world of dreams around you
I'm so glad that I found you
I'll be there with a love that's strong
I'll be your strength
I'll keep holding on

Let me fill your heart with joy and laughter
Togetherness, well it's all I'm after
Just call my name and I'll be there

I'll be there to protect you
With unselfish love that respects you
Just call my name and I'll be there

If you should ever find someone new
I know she'd better be good to you
Cause if she doesn't and I'll be there
Don't you know, baby
I'll be there, I'll be there
Just call my name and I'll be there
我會在你身旁     傑克森兄弟

你和我應該立下約定
將救贖帶回來
有愛的地方,我就在你左右
我會伸出雙手迎向你
我對你所做的一切深具信心
只要你輕呼我的名字,我必在你左右

我會在你身旁安慰你
在你周圍建立夢的世界
我很高興找到了你
我會以堅定的愛陪在你左右
我將成為你的力量
永遠不變

讓我用喜悅和歡笑填滿你的心
然後,我會陪伴在你身旁
只要輕呼我的名字,我必在你左右

我會在身邊保護你
用充滿敬意的、無私的愛
只要輕呼我的名字,我必在你左右

Michael Jackson - One day in your life

 



One day in your life
You'll remember a place
Someone touching your face
You'll come back and you'll look around you

One day in your life
You'll remember the love you found here
You'll remember me somehow
Though you don't need me now
I will stay in your heart
And when things fall apart
You'll remember one day...

One day in your life
When you find that you're always waiting for the love we used to share
Just call my name
And I'll be there

You'll remember me somehow
Though you don't need me now
I will stay in your heart
And when things fall apart
You'll remember one day...

One day in your life
When you find that you're always lonely
For the love we used to share
Just call my name
And I'll be there
