Angie – The Rolling Stones

Single by The Rolling Stones from the album Goats Head Soup

Released : 20 August 1973

Writer(s) : Mick Jagger /Keith Richards

Recorded : November–December 1972

Genre : Rock

Length : 4:33

piano accompaniment : Nicky Hopkins

歌词似在叙述一对将要分开之人感情的体现。Mick Jagger的vocal配上此歌举足轻重的钢琴伴奏，只有赞叹了。

一些资料：”Angie” is an acoustic guitar driven ballad which tells of the end of a romance.The song was written almost entirely both lyrically and musically by Keith Richards and in Richards’ own biography he claims that the name Angie is a pseudonym for heroin and his attempt to quit while detoxing in Switzerland.  Keith Richards自称是为表达自己试图远离毒品的情绪所写的音乐与歌词。

维基说Angie所指的普遍认为是David Bowie’s 的第一任妻子 Angela 甚至有可能是女星Angie Dickinson.少数认为是关于Richards刚出生的女儿Dandelion Angela的。个人认为前后两种可能都不大吧，Angela Bowie本人似乎多次说过与她无关，Jagger和Keith也没有提到过此人。又看到第一版本是写为Anita，后Keith认为发音不太好才改为Angie，当时正好是其女儿出生时，这点可能有关联。

I Fought the Law （The Clash Version）

Recorded by the Clash in 1979

（Written by Sonny Curtis of the Crickets，Firstly popularized by Bobby Fuller Four [1965])

Genre : Rock (Bobby Fuller Four)

Genre Punk Rock (The Clash)

昨天晚上在其它地方写过关于此歌歌词的个人理解上的随笔，搬运到博客来。

The Clash版本和原版的差别，似乎很容易听出来，能借鉴到区分多个“Punk”字样的流派。更深层地看，原版更多的是”政治导向”，而后者更能体现”尽情抵制”。

全曲很短，歌词重复度相当高，”I fought the law and the law won”出现了近20遍，其它的部分似是对状况的描述。”Breakin’ rocks in the hot sun”为全曲开头，表达的是”挖矿日当午”的一个景象，黝黑的皮肤，烈日下挥汗奋力工作的这么一个man,很容易看出是一个处于middle class的家伙，甚至是underclass。”I needed money ’cause i had none”直至”Robbin’ people with a six-gun”解释了它触犯law的过程，起码是歌词表面上想要描述的一个情景，结合”left my baby””best girl i had”等”痛苦”的表述，完善了这么一个社会底层工人的悲苦生活。”Guess my race is run”其中”race”有种族的含义在，但具体的解释只有原作者知晓了，作词的Sonny Curtis本人是白人。

“I fought the law”是指”Robbin’ people”犯下的罪，但是并非是他天生从内就是恶人，他有自己的工作，”hot sun”下也坚持着，他有着自己的妻子和孩子，在他的眼中自己的妻子是”the best girl”，心中如果是邪恶的人自然眼中也没有这种”美”，所以说白了反映的也是无奈，因为这不是一个good man通过努力就可以使生活得到保障的社会。

许多这个年代的白人流行曲更多的是将音乐与政治联系，阐释一些反社会主流文化的内容，而这类白人通常来说是年轻人，对父辈所掌控权力的社会进行另类的抵抗，或者是用激烈的方式凸显自我意识。”I Fought the Law”是以那一代踏入社会，工作着的人民为描述对象，评论了一些社会问题。

Richard Clayderman – A Comme Amour（音乐会现场）

2013年1月1日 理查德·克莱德曼（1953, Paris, France) 中国巡演20年纪念音乐会演出 – 上海站

Genres : Instrumental pop ,Classical,Easy listening,Semi-classical

不禁感叹一声，“岁月不饶人”也许大多数欣赏Clayderman那Easy listening风格的中国爱好者，脑中对他的印象还停留在“白色的西装，白色的钢琴，年轻的脸庞”上吧

20年亲民的表演，得到了中国各年龄层民众的支持与喜爱，特别是对”梁祝””二泉映月”等中国传统音乐的钢琴改编版本，独具中国色彩。

这里附上一段今天拍的A Comme Amour的视频。

His style and particularly his song “A Comme Amour” have a cult following in Asia – every new China Mobile SIM-card purchased in Shanghai since 2006 has this song as the default ringback tone when calling other subscribers.

有太多版本了,Leo Sayer,B.B King,Boney M,Jimi Hendrix等等等，但是这里只用了清唱版本，少了合唱，乐器等等加入后的效果，但是多的是在这个浮躁的社会下，静下来的心和对歌词的倾听。

只要youku，baidu一下Auld lang syne我相信一定能得到更多的经典。

作为一首无比经典的民谣，个人是把歌词当做诗词来背诵的,至于各种反战元素，需要自己感悟，那样才会最深刻。估计在The Graduate观影后会做一个总结。

有机会好好分析一下更新在这里

A version published in 1889 is typical of modern versions:
