好的老歌值得一再回味,今天重新聽了一次 True Colors, 覺得 Cyndi Lauper 和 Phil Collins 兩人都各有千秋,都能唱出它真正的味道。
Cyndi Lauper 版的 True Colors
Cyndi Lauper 版的 True Colors 一貫地同時保有她小女生的慵懶和磁性的豪邁聲音。 這支MV 讓我很驚艷,雖然不像 Cyndi 年輕時,那個紅髮搞怪的龐克女生的聲音這麼清澈明亮,但她徐娘半老,身穿黑色套裝手拿揚琴(Dulcimer) 卻有另一種風韻,她的聲音給人的感動完全依舊。
Phil Collins 版 True Colors
Phil Collins 則是我多年來不變的最愛,他的 True Colors (LP Version) 雖是改編,但更像一陣和風吹徐,再多的傷痛都能被撫平。歌詞雖然簡單但寫的真棒,很貼近現在的感覺和心理想要講的話… Yes, I see your true colors !!!

You with the sad eyes
Don't be discouraged
Oh I realize
It's hard to take courage
In a world full of people
You can lose sight of it all
And the darkness inside you
Can make you feel so small
But I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Like a rainbow
Show me a smile then,
Don't be unhappy, can't remember
When I last saw you laughing
If this world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
You call me up
Because you know I'll be there
