I DON'T KNOW HOW TO LOVE HIM 【萬世巨星 Jesus Christ Superstar】
是著名音樂劇作曲家 Andrew Lloyd Webber 與作詞人Tim Rice 合作的第三部音樂劇, 亦是最成功的一部音樂劇之一。
【劇本靈感】
1965年两位作家相識時, Tim 知道 Andrew 的父親 William Lloyd Webber 是教會中的音樂家, 所以對 Andrew 自幼被父親的音樂熏陶更加了解, 而 Tim 年青時亦是在一家教會學校求學, 對聖經中耶稣的十二門徒之一 "猶大" 的故事已感興趣, 認為以此聖經故事, 两人可以共同創作一些劇目, 所以對劇本的構思, 主要將耶稣的生平寫出来, 得 Andrew 同意後就開始創作, 内容以 "猶大" 的角度來描寫耶稣基督步入『耶路撒冷』被釘十字架前7天的事迹。
Ian Gillan - I ONLY WANT TO SAY "Gethsemane - Jesus Christ Superstar" 【創作過程】
1969年,两人初步構思了這音樂劇目後, 向經理人提議時遭冷諷:"Bible story? Forget it!"因此不得不放棄原来舞台劇的意念, 最後以劇中的一曲 "Superstar" 先行錄製唱片推出而大受歡迎。 翌年推出了全劇的雙唱片録音, Jesus 的角色由樂隊 Deep Purple 的 Ian Gillan 主唱, 劇中"I Don't Know How To Love Him" 一曲由 Yvonne Elliman 主唱, 令樂壇引起一番漣漪 ....
及後1974-77 期間, 她被應要當上 Eric Clapton 的 Back Vocal, 1977主唱 "Saturday Night Fever" 劇中插曲 "If I Can't Have You", 但始終她决了一些星運。
Sinead O'Connor - Rare Version I DON'T KNOW HOW TO LOVE HIM
I don't know how to love him.
What to do, how to move him.
I've been changed, yes really changed.
In these past few days, when I've seen myself,
I seem like someone else.
I don't know how to take this.
I don't see why he moves me.
He's a man. He's just a man.
And I've had so many men before,
In very many ways,
He's just one more.
Should I bring him down?
Should I scream and shout?
Should I speak of love,
Let my feelings out?
I never thought I'd come to this.
What's it all about?
Don't you think it's rather funny,
I should be in this position.
I'm the one who's always been
So calm, so cool, no lover's fool,
Running every show.
He scares me so.
I never thought I'd come to this.
What's it all about?
Yet, if he said he loved me,
I'd be lost. I'd be frightened.
I couldn't cope, just couldn't cope.
I'd turn my head. I'd back away.
I wouldn't want to know.
He scares me so.
I want him so.
I love him so.
BROADWAY MUSICAL
"The Passion of Jesus Christ as seen through the eyes of Judas. This popular rock musical is based on the 1996 London/2000 Broadway revivals of the show, directed by Gale Edwards. Re-orchestrated and set to modern times, it is not the Superstar of the 70's but rather one for the 21st Century." - youtube
