Perhaps Love John Denver / arr. Audrey Snyder 華岡唱友合唱團

山巒傳唱之款款聲情音樂會 2018年12月25日 台北國家音樂廳 Dec. 25, 2018 National Concert Hall, Taipei, Taiwan 指揮：張維君 Conducted by WeiChun Regina Chang 鋼琴：劉惠珊 Piano accompanied by Huishan Liu 華岡唱友合唱團 Hwakang Alumni Chorus 詞曲作者為John Denver，美國鄉村歌手及創作家，創作曲超過300首。 此曲〈Perhaps Love〉是在作者與分居的妻子Annie Martell感情破裂時的創作，儘管他們最後走向離婚；而在1997年John Denver去世後的第二天，Annie Martell則說這是她最喜愛的曲子，而不是John Denver以她命名的熱門暢銷曲〈Annie’s Song〉。 1981年本曲被世界三大男高音之一的Placido Domingo收錄在1981年發行的同名專輯〈Perhaps Love〉，並廣為流傳。 此曲曲風原創為當代流行POP，本次演出合唱版本是Audrey Snyder改編成G大調慢速但帶有自由的節奏，由男女聲相互擔任主旋律演唱，彼此呼應，加上深情款款的歌詞，為世界著名情歌合唱曲。 Perhaps love John Denver / arr. Audrey Snyder Perhaps love is like a resting place A shelter from the storm It exists to give you comfort It is there to keep you warm And in those times of trouble When you are most alone The memory of love will bring you home Perhaps love is like a window Perhaps an open door It invites you to come closer It wants to show you more And even if you lose yourself And don't know what to do The memory of love will see you through Oh, love to some is like a cloud To some as strong as steel For some a way of living For some a way to feel And some say love is holding on And some say letting go And some say love is everything And some say they don't know Perhaps love is like an ocean Full of conflict, full of pain Like a fire when it's cold outside Thunder when it rains If I should live forever And all my dreams come true My memories of love will be of you ※樂曲解說節錄自音樂會節目冊 貼心提醒：影片有內建CC字幕，要看歌詞記得要打開喔~喜歡請按訂閱！ 華岡唱友合唱團粉絲專頁：   / hwakangalumnichorus
