《We Are The World 》那夜,金曲不朽

2024/02/07閱讀時間約 11 分鐘

這一晚,室友打開Netflix告訴我有部電影想與我分享。

我們一邊吃著牛肉麵一邊看著,筷子、嘴巴沒停過,眼睛也沒閒著,根本不知道自己筷子裡夾著的是什麼小菜,就直接往嘴裡送。

當時我真的不知道片名是什麼,但我知道這是一部紀錄片,介紹的是一首我們都耳熟能詳的歌《We Are the World》就算不能唱完全曲,但一定能夠哼上一兩句。

片中有我最喜歡的歌星麥可·傑克森 (Michael Jackson),蒂娜·透娜(Tina Turner),黛安娜·羅絲(Diana Ross)等等許多巨星。

片中在描述1985年許多音樂界大人物都來到洛杉磯一間錄音室,放下個人利益,共同錄製一首聲援非洲饑荒救助活動的公益歌曲,就此改寫了全球流行文化史。在那個沒有手機與電子信箱的時代,為了組成這個全世界最具影響力的超級團隊,需要耗費龐大心力,《那夜,金曲不朽》記述的就是這段過程。

而那年我還在流鼻涕,但我國小就會哼唱這幾句歌詞。

We are the world

We are the children

We are the ones who make a brighter day, so let's start giving

雖然是部紀錄片,最後我還是感動的流下眼淚,嘴裡還塞滿了牛肉麵,很滑稽的畫面,但我仍舊希望這首歌能被傳唱,因為這是一首我聽過最美的歌。

這首歌在當時成功募資了8000美元,救助了許多的非洲飢民,再接下來的日子,這首歌仍再次被新一代的巨星集合翻唱,願這首歌可以傳唱百年,把愛傳出去,因為我們在這裡,我們是一家人。


There comes a time

When we heed a certain call

When the world must come together as one

There are people dying

Oh, and it's time to lend a hand to life

The greatest gift of allWe can't go on

Pretending day-by-day

That someone, somewhere soon make a change

We're all a part of God's great big family

And the truth, you know, love is all we needWe are the world

We are the children

We are the ones who make a brighter day, so let's start giving

There's a choice we're making

We're saving our own lives

It's true we'll make a better day, just you and meOh, send them your heart

So they know that someone cares

And their lives will be stronger and free

As God has shown us by turning stones to bread

And so we all must lend a helping handWe are the world

We are the children

We are the ones who make a brighter day, so let's start giving

Oh, there's a choice we're making

We're saving our own lives

It's true we'll make a better day, just you and meWhen you're down and out, there seems no hope at all

But if you just believe there's no way we can fall

Well, well, well, well let us realize

Oh, that a change can only come

When we stand together as one, yeah, yeah, yeahWe are the world

We are the children

We are the ones who make a brighter day, so let's start giving
