『 killing me softly with his song 』 Roberta Flack （「SONG TO SOUL」ＢＳi）
ステキな曲なんですね～
ソフト・ソウルの女王ロバータ・フラックの１９７３年の全米№１ヒット「やさしく歌って」
世界中のたくさんのアーティストがカバーしている曲で
１９９６年にはローリン・ヒル在籍のフージーズもカバーしネスカフェＣＭでもおなじみのこの曲は、実はフラックのオリジナルではなく
７２年に西海岸のシンガーソングライターが出した原曲を飛行機の中でたまたま耳にしたフラックが
自分なりにアレンジしてカバーしたものが、彼女最大のヒット曲となった
ロバータ・フラック本人へのインタビューで・・・・
あるコンサートのアンコールで歌う曲がなくなるくらい盛り上がり
クインシー・ジョーンズから「次は新しい曲がいい」と言われ
1度しかリハーサルしていないこの曲を急遽歌ったところ大喝采。
「すぐにこの曲のレコーディングをしないといけないよ」とクインシーに言われたことや
オリジナル・アーティスト、ロリ・リーバーマンも出演
「この曲が時代を超えて歌われ続けられている」
とてもうれしそうに語っていました・・・・
ロバータ・フラックもとても魅力的な女性ですね！
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
I heard he sang a good song
I heard he had a style
And so I came to see him
To listen for a while
And there he was this young boy
A stranger to my eyes
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
I felt all flushed with fever
Embarassed by the crowd
I felt he found my letters
And read each one out loud
I prayed that he would finish
But he just kept right on
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
He sang as if he knew me
In all my dark despair
And then he looked right through me
As if I wasnt there
But he was there this stranger
Singing clear and strong
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
