只花了數分鐘作曲的天才之作
The Beatles 《Help》
歌手樂團總會希望聽眾是多階層的,
如果只局限於一個年齡層面,
他們的認受性及受歡迎的程度一定有限,
民謠搖滾樂傳奇人物 Bob Dylan 從抗議民謠開展,
作品中的歌詞成為可以讓人啟發,讓人沉思,
讓人共鳴於人生的種種無奈與哀傷.
六十年代中期,The Beatles 亦留意到Bob Dylan 的高超,
為了第二齣電影『Help』的主題曲,
John Lennon 和 Paul McCartney 只花了數分鐘將歌詞寫在火柴盒上,
便完成了一首經典之作,但連日來他們都想著同一個方向,
不再是哄哄青春少艾的情歌,
而是像Bob Dylan 這種高人,必須有點人生的哲理,
引起聽眾真正的共嗚.
無疑地,《Help》的調調不是依照規則的樂理鋪排,
真的屬於一時靈感的天才之作,
至於歌詞方面,出於廿多歲的天才之手,
不免有點為賦新詞強說愁!
然而,四十歲才走紅的歌壇天后Tina Turner 演繹此曲,
卻贏得無數人的共嗚!
被公認將《Help》演繹得最淋漓盡致的版本.

Help, I need somebody,
Help, not just anybody,
Help, you know I need someone,
Help.
When I was younger, so much younger than today,
I never needed anybody's help in anyway.
But now these days are gone, I'm not so self assured,
Now I find I've changed my mind and opened up the doors.
Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being 'round.
Help me get my feet back on the ground,
Won't you please, please help me?
And now my life has changed in oh so many ways,
My independence seems to vanish in the haze.
But every now and then I feel so insecure,
I know that I just need you like I've never done before.
Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being 'round.
Help me get my feet back on the ground,
Won't you please, please help me?
When I was younger, so much younger than today,
I never needed anybody's help in anyway.
But now these days are gone, I'm not so self assured,
Now I find I've changed my mind and opened up the doors.
Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And i do appreciate you being 'round.
Help me get my feet back on the ground,
Won't you please, please help me?
help me,
help me,
ooooooo.
