Famous blue raincoat


It\’s four in the morning, the end of December
I\’m writing you now just to see if you\’re better
New York is cold, but I like where I\’m living
There\’s music on Clinton Street all through the evening.

I hear that you\’re building your little house deep in the desert
You\’re living for nothing now, I hope you\’re keeping some kind of record.

Yes, and Jane came by with a lock of your hair
She said that you gave it to her
That night that you planned to go clear
Did you ever go clear?

Ah, the last time we saw you you looked so much older
Your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder
You\’d been to the station to meet every train
And you came home without Lili Marlene

And you treated my woman to a flake of your life
And when she came back she was nobody\’s wife.

Well I see you there with the rose in your teeth
One more thin gypsy thief
Well I see Jane\’s awake --
She sends her regards.

And what can I tell you my brother, my killer
What can I possibly say?
I guess that I miss you, I guess I forgive you
I\’m glad you stood in my way.

If you ever come by here, for Jane or for me
Your enemy is sleeping, and his woman is free.

Yes, and thanks, for the trouble you took from her eyes
I thought it was there for good so I never tried.

And Jane came by with a lock of your hair
She said that you gave it to her
That night that you planned to go clear

Jennifer Warnes的歌喉极靓，人声与器乐一流，动态十足。主题曲是全碟的精华，一支sax前奏性感迷人，清晰无比的录音不但表现出Jennifer一流的结像力，而且把背后一把double-bass的弦震显得淋漓尽致，此录音乐器亦是一流。

    琼·贝兹的声音永远是流行史上最好的之一。这里选出的是她在西班牙的一次现场演唱会的实况录音，这一段清唱将她嘹亮直接、变幻莫测的唱腔一展无遗，出众的技巧被Show得一气呵成，叫人五体投地。

  录音是妙手偶得的杰作。话说排演当天天空乌云密布，待录音师匆匆摆完麦克风时已下起暴雨，大家只得赶快收工，等到演出开始，录音师已没时间仔细调声，只能匆忙收录，没想到胡乱摆放的话筒，正是现场的最佳位置，与体育场的扩声系统传出的音响浑然天成，令空间感到达一流境界。奇怪的是，第二天，录音师再想在原地收录琼·贝兹的演唱，无论如何都达不到第一天的效果了。一时，这录音成为了业界的神话。

    [The Best of Leonard Cohen]出版于1975年，那个时候Cohen在流行乐界的知名度并不是很高，因此对于初识Leonard Cohen的人来说，这张精选辑具有方便入门的功用，收录的都是他在74年前的佳作，也就是Cohen最早期的一系列作品中的精选，其中包括了著名的"Suzanne"（Judy Collins, Neil Diamond亦曾翻唱过），"Bird On The Wire"（曾由Jennifer Warnes翻唱过），"So Long Marianne"以及"Famous Blue Raincoat".

    音乐启蒙甚早的Tori Amos，从小就显得与众不同，从音乐怪胎到重金属摇滚狂妄青春再到一头红发的音乐精灵，Amos在琴艺、词汇与歌声之间的真实情感，如鬼灵精一般的洞察力与创意，摆在90年代的女性创作风潮，确实有其独立神采。
