Marvin Gaye...
一直很喜歡Marvin Gaye.
這首歌是他多首著名金曲其中之一.背後故事很多,爬梳起來小至motown唱片,大可涵括至美國越戰,黑白種族等問題,更多料請問孤狗大神.快速入門可點music543,[講座紀錄]從形塑搖滾樂的500首歌談起(六)(link).節錄部份如下:
...Motown雖然出了很多暢銷的黑人單曲,但還是繞著輕柔的情歌打轉,時代意識並沒有很強。一直到1971年Marvin Gaye發表了跨時代的專輯What's Going On,情況才有了改變。 1970年,這一年是個動盪不安的年代,越南戰爭陷入膠著,美國本土境內黑白種族對立的態勢升高,警察開進學校槍殺示威遊行的學生,都引起很大的震動。在當時,黑人有很多自治團體,如「黑豹黨」,這些組織接受到FBI嚴格的控管、滲透,引發了很多爭議與衝突。在這情況下,身為一個虔誠的基督徒,Marvin Gaye覺得自己可以透過歌聲改變這醜陋的世界,於是開始著手寫一些歌,What's Going On就是這樣的作品...
Mother, mother
There's too many of you crying
Brother, brother, brother
There's far too many of you dying
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today - Ya
Father, father
We don't need to escalate
You see, war is not the answer
For only love can conquer hate
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today
Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me, so you can see
Oh, what's going on
What's going on
Ya, what's going on
Ah, what's going on
In the mean time
Right on, baby
Right on
Right on
Father, father, everybody thinks we're wrong
Oh, but who are they to judge us
Simply because our hair is long
Oh, you know we've got to find a way
To bring some understanding here today
Oh
Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me
So you can see
What's going on
Ya, what's going on
Tell me what's going on
I'll tell you what's going on - Uh
Right on baby
Right on baby
