親自送達:Personally -- Karla Bonoff
談到 Nicolette Larson,忽然想到這首以前還蠻喜歡聽的歌:Karla Bonoff 的 "Personally"。
覺得這兩位女歌手的歌聲,都有點率性;Nicolette Larson 多帶點野性,而 Karla Bonoff 則多了點嫵媚。這也難怪,因為她們都是 Linda Ronstadt 的伴唱歌手出身,Linda Ronstadt 當然只找歌唱特質和她相近的人來和聲。
Karla Bonoff 還會寫歌,Bonnie Raitt、Wynonna Judd、Lynn Anderson 和前老闆 Linda Ronstadt,都曾唱過她的作品。
她的個人專輯,我買過一張 "Wild Heart of the Young",是衝著 "Personally" 這首歌,和撩人的專輯封面才買的。
"Personally" 在 1982 年曾獲美國流行榜第 19 名,成人抒情榜第 3 名,是 Karla Bonoff 最暢銷的單曲。
不過有點諷刺的是,整張 "Wild Heart of the Young" 專輯,"Personally" 是唯一一首非她所創作的曲子。這首算是她招牌曲的 "Personally",作者是 Paul Kelly,在 1978 年時,曾由 Jackie Moore 唱進 R&B 排行榜,名列第 92 名。
對了,"Personally" 這首歌,在幕後幫忙和音的,可是大名鼎鼎的老鷹合唱團(Eagles)成員 Don Henley 和 Timothy B. Schmit!
這首歌應該是沒有 MV,YouTube 上有樂迷自製的影片,配以與歌詞相關的圖片,還有 Karla Bonoff 的專輯封面和照片,個人覺得非常「有趣」,特別當我看到「老夫子」時,忍不住哈哈大笑。裡面還有梵谷的畫喔……

I've been writing letters every day now
since you've been gone
Talking to you on telephone
For what seems like a whole life long
But I've got something to give you
That the mailman can't deliver
I can't mail it in
I can't phone it in
I can't send it in
Even by your closest kin
I'm bringing it to you
personally, personally, personally, yeah
I'm bringing it to you
personally, personally, personally, yeah
There's nothing like the feeling I get
Oh, when you're touching me baby
It's nothing like the feeling you get
When I'm there with you
All with love
But I've got something to give you
That the mailman can't deliver
I can't mail it in
I can't phone it in
I can't send it in
Even by your closest friend
I'm bringing it to you
personally, personally, personally, yeah
I'm bringing it to you
personally, personally, personally, yeah
But I've got something to give you
That the mailman can't deliver
I can't mail it in
I can't phone it in
I can't send it in
Even by your closest friend
I'm bringing it to you
personally, personally, personally, yeah
I'm bringing it to you

當我過去與你相伴
帶著全部的愛
但我有樣東西要給你
