Yukihiro Takahashi & Steve Jansen ----- Stay Close



In memory of 高橋幸宏 Yukihiro Takahashi (June 6, 1952 - January 11, 2023)

高橋氏的作品繁多，要為他悼念而重溫其唱片，給我整整一個週末也聽不完。今日忽然好想聽他跟 Steve Jansen 合作的 1986 年單曲〈Stay Close〉：一位是 Y.M.O. 的主唱兼鼓手、一位是 Japan 的鼓手，兩隊樂隊的成員早已惺惺相惜，也早有坂本龍一與 David Sylvian 的合作關係，到高橋幸宏和 Steve Jansen 走在一起合作，當年固然成為一時佳話。唱片封面蓋著是一幅二人很「和風」的照片，歌曲除了他們負責主唱、鼓擊和 synth 外，這個英日音樂合作，還有 David Bowie 的結他手 Carlos Alomar、原定細野晴臣找他組成 Y.M.O. 的 Hiroshi Sato 佐藤博彈鋼琴、色士風手 Hiroyasu Yaguchi 矢口博康。

[Verse 1: Yukihiro Takehashi]
Something tells me
I've made my choice
And nothing lies between

[Steve Jansen]
This one desire
Just out of reach
Is the closest I've never been

[Pre-Chorus 1: Both]
The sky sleeps
And the silence speaks
So clear no words could say

Like a wild beast
Looking straight at me
It takes my breath away

[Chorus: Both]
So don't leave me
Nobody else is here
Stay close
And we'll dance in the fire

[Verse 2: Yukihiro Takehashi]
Every moment (every moment)
My bravest thoughts
Were running wild inside (running wild)
[Steve Jansen]
But a perfect fate
Turned it's back on me
Now I've nothing left to hide

[Pre-Chorus 2: Both]
So take my hand
Stay close to me
We'll leave it all behind

Just turn around
And walk away
With no special place in mind
[Chorus: Both]
So don't leave me
Nobody else is here
Stay close
And we'll dance in the fire
