Coming Down The Road (Live at Royal Albert Hall)
Yeah! yeah!
It happened just this morning, you know I woke up feeling so good,
The sun came over the mountain, just like I always knew it would.
Had another dream about music, you know the kind that they used to play,
There was everyone that I love to hear, marching to their own parade.
Chorus:
And they were coming down the road, playing that rock n' roll,
And don'tcha feel good 'cause they're coming down the road.
Saw that orpheum theatre, I heard a thousand screaming guitars,
There was a greasy-haired boy with a wiggle, they thought he was a man from mars,
Rollin' along with the fat man, a piece of country-fried blueberry pie,
I said to myself "let me hear it on the hill, just one time, one time before I die."
Chorus
Yeah!
Chorus
Chorus
Chorus
搭車時想起一首歌,印象中是CCR時期,不過經過多年後官司得以解決之後,John Fogerty獨自帶同自己的樂隊演出「Comin' Down the Road: The Concert at Royal Albert Hall」。
CCR時代成名之初,CCR已在到過Royal Albert Hall表演,那是二十世紀六十年代,四個長髮青年演唱了當時最流行的歌曲,youtube亦有當時的影片。至於這首Coming Down The Road則是二零零九年十一月三日演唱會的現場版本。
原曲好像還有一段歌詞,不過上網找不到,看來歌詞這東西網上都係你抄我我抄你,有些字錯了也一樣出錯,因為最初出處錯後來也跟著錯,看來要問原作者才知道。
初聽這首搖擺音樂幾開心,節拍強勁,適合音樂會舞會,旋律簡單,但現代已經很難找到了。
