《I am Going to the West》[00:00:18]
In this fair land' I'll stay no more[00:00:21]
Here labor is in vain[00:00:26]
I'll seek the mountains far away[00:00:31]
And leave the fertile plain[00:00:35]
Where waves of grass in oceans roll[00:00:43]
Into infinity[00:00:48]
I stand ready on the shore[00:00:53]
To cross the inland sea[00:00:58]
I am going to the West[00:01:05]
Chorus[00:01:10]
You say you will not go with me[00:01:12]
You turn your eyes away[00:01:17]
You say you will not follow me[00:01:22]
No matter what I say[00:01:26]
I am going to the West[00:01:34]
I am going to the West[00:01:38]
Chorus[00:01:44]
I will journey to the place[00:01:56]
That was shaped by heaven hand[00:02:01]
And I will build for me a bower[00:02:05]
Where angels?footprints mark the land[00:02:10]
Where castle rocks in towers high[00:02:18]
Kneel to valleys wild and green[00:02:22]
All my thoughts are turned to you[00:02:27]
My waking hope' my sleeping dream[00:02:32]
I am going to the West[00:02:39]
You say you will not go with me[00:02:47]
You turn your eyes away[00:02:52]
You say you will not follow me[00:02:56]
No matter what I say[00:03:01]
I am going to the West[00:03:09]
I am going to the West[00:03:14]
And when sun gives way to moon[00:03:21]
And silver starlight fills the sky[00:03:26]
In the arms of these last hills[00:03:31]
Is where I bound to lie[00:03:35]
Wind' my blanket' earth' my bed[00:03:43]
My canopy' a tree[00:03:48]
Willows by the river edge[00:03:52]
Will whisper me to sleep[00:03:57]
I am going to the West[00:04:05]
You say you will not go with me[00:04:12]
You turn your eyes away[00:04:17]
You say you will not follow me[00:04:21]
No matter what I say[00:04:26]
I am going to the West[00:04:34]
I am going to the West[00:04:44]
Connie Dover是美国本土密苏里州人,在美[00:04:52]
国本土的一个爱尔兰乐队scartaglen中出名,[00:04:54]
以往我们接触的celtic美声大多都是来自欧[00:04:56]
洲大陆,这个美国漂亮歌手饱含celtic风的[00:04:58]
歌声却使我不得不赞叹celtic音乐的魅力和[00:05:00]
影响是多么的巨大。仔细听她的音乐中,民[00:05:02]
谣和美声的成分居多。用了大量celtic特有[00:05:04]
的乐器,却也不忘加上点标志美国民谣的吉[00:05:06]
他声。还有一点值得一提,这个金发美女不[00:05:09]
仅人美歌靓,自己也是个键盘手和作曲家。[00:05:11]
Connie Dover 的声音很平稳,就像砂漏里的[00:05:13]
砂往下流过一样,淡淡的,看不出什么滋味,[00:05:15]
口感却又很深远,不过,就像 CD 听完可以[00:05:17]
重来,沙漏滴完可以再翻转过来,时间却还[00:05:19]
是一样离开,淡滋味中,有一种无力挽回的[00:05:21]
哀伤。[00:05:23]
