今天让我们走进John Lennon, 在”in my life”中感受他对过往一切的怀恋
我们来看看歌曲背后的故事~
在英国记者Kenneth Allsop的提议下,列侬着手写了一首关于自己童年的歌,最初手稿写的是他小时候在利物浦坐公交车沿途所见的风景,像Penny Lane和Strawberry Field
手稿
首稿完成后,Lennon说歌词就像"the most boring sortof 'What I Did On My Holidays Bus Trip' song"(无聊的公交车一日游之歌),经过多次修改后,首稿中只有几句保留了下来
Lennon的一生挚友Peter Shotton说歌词中 “Some[friends] are dead and some are living/In my life I’ve loved them all”中分别代指Stuart Sutcliffe和自己,同为Lennon挚友的Sutcliffe退出披头士乐队(当时还未称作the Beatles),去德国深造绘画,1962年在送往医院的途中因动脉瘤死亡
在1980年的采访中,John Lennon说到,在此之前他从来没有把自己的故事写进歌里,所以这首歌在他心目中才是“first real master piece of work”
