〔Carpenters〕
首先呢個生字就係一個好好嘅教材!
Carpenters=木匠
對於以前嘅小朋友來說,(Carpenters) 佢哋未必會識,但是(木匠)或者佢哋會知道叫(Carpenter)!
說回正題,我對 Carpenters 嘅歌,起初只覺得沉悶同慢,但是,當我開始理解一吓其中歌詞,就亦開始喜歡〔Carpenters〕!
就例如首:Close to you
〔Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you〕
呢幾句雖然係短少少,但是就能夠講出話者心聲!
多謝好歌重溫!
Karen Carpenter was the lead singer for the soft-rock duo the Carpenters, who scored a string of Top 10 hits
in the early '70s, including "Close to You," "We've Only Just Begun," "Rainy Days and Mondays," and
"Yesterday Once More."
Karen's drumming was praised by fellow drummers Hal Blaine, Cubby O'Brien, Buddy Rich and Modern Drummer magazine.
However Karen always considered herself a "drummer who sang." Carpenter started playing the drums in 1964.
She was always enthusiastic about the drums, and taught herself how to play complicated drum lines with
"exotic time signatures".
