ゴスペラーズの『Sky High』 は、
ラフマニノフのピアノ協奏曲第2番の
第３楽章がベースになっています。
ところで、第２楽章が、
Eric Carmenの”All by myself”
のモチーフになってること知ってました？
これもまた原曲のイメージを超え、
独自の存在感を生んだ作品ですよね。
Eric Carmen - All By MySelf (HQ)
それにしても、
久々に聞いたけど、
この曲切な過ぎるね。
シラフじゃ聞けないよ、まったく。
All By Myself by Eric Carmem
When I was young
I never needed anyone
And makin' love was just for fun
Those days are gone
Livin' alone
I think of all the friends I've known
But when I dial the telephone
Nobody's home
All by myself
Don't wanna be, all by myself anymore
All by myself
Don't wanna live, all by myself anymore
Hard to be sure
Some times I feel so insecure
And love so distant and obscure
Remains the cure
All by myself
Don't wanna be, all by myself anymore
All by myself
Don't wanna live, all by myself anymore
When I was young
I never needed anyone
And makin' love was just for fun
Those days are gone
All by myself
Don't wanna be, all by myself anymore
All by myself
Don't wanna live, all by myself anymore
All by myself
Don't wanna be, all by myself anymore…
