 「我們沒有辦法把一首八分鐘的歌曲放進單面容量只有三分鐘的黑膠裡。所以我們把拆成兩面。即便如此,我仍然花了好幾周的時間在母帶上,用顯微鏡觀察每一個凹槽,看我們是否真的把歌曲放上去,而且唱針不會跳過。天啊,那他媽的真是一場噩夢。」


好累⋯這曲其實我沒啥感覺,英文聽力不好⋯就算聽得懂,我的背景離那個年代的美國太遠,也很難有啥感受⋯

我想,如今的年輕人聽當年的羅大佑感受應該也很有限吧⋯

Killing Me Softly with His Song -- Lori Lieberman

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_Me_Softly_with_His_Song
According to Lori Lieberman, who performed the original recording in 1971, the song was born of a poem she wrote after experiencing a strong reaction to the Don McLean song "Empty Chairs",[1][2][3] writing some poetic ideas on a napkin at the Troubadour Club after seeing him perform the song,[4] and then relating this information to Norman Gimbel, who took her feelings and converted them into song lyrics. Gimbel passed his lyrics to Charles Fox, who set them to music.[5]
