一连三场的陶喆香港演唱会终于圆满结束了，但是在演唱会中陶喆在演唱“沙滩”时穿插的一首英文老歌“over the rainbow”让人意犹未尽，现在我就介绍一首这首经典老歌吧！
歌名：Over the Rainbow(穿越彩虹）
荣誉：第十二届奥斯卡最佳电影歌曲
出品年份：1939年
专辑：“绿野仙综”OST电影原声带
《绿野仙踪》（Wizard of Oz，The ）是米高梅公司于1939年出品的童话音乐片。影片由维克托．弗莱明（Victor Fleming）导演，电影原本想请当时红极一时的女童星秀兰·邓波儿（Shirley Temple）主演，但因故未成。转请当时16岁还不算成名的朱迪．加兰（Judy Garland）来演，在片中她精彩的表演却在观众的心目中永存纯真无邪的多萝西（Dorthy）形象。朱迪自此青云直上，成了当时美国最成功的影歌星之一。影片描述堪萨斯州的小孤女多萝西住在叔叔家的农场中，她厌倦了平凡单调的乡间生活，幻想到彩虹以上的地方寻找美国的仙境。一天，一阵怪风把她和心爱的小狗吹到一个遥远的陌生地方。她为了回家，在仙境中结识了三个新伙伴——没有脑子的稻草人、没有心脏的铁皮人、没有胆量的狮子。他们结伴同行，一起战胜了种种困难险阻，各人都如愿以偿，当在奇异的国度遨游之后，多萝西感慨地说：“哪都不如家乡好”，这也成了本片的主题。
《绿野仙踪》全片幻想力丰富，表演手法也充满热情和活力，片中有众多神奇有趣的角色和令人兴高采烈的歌舞场面，堪称是美国电影史上最成功的童话歌舞影片，并成为这类影片的经典之作。在第12届奥斯卡颁奖典礼中，这部电影获得了最佳原创音乐和最佳歌曲奖。《绿野仙踪》在开始时是黑白片，在小女孩进入梦境后变成了彩色画面，并配上“飞越彩虹”(Over the Rainbow)的音乐，让许多人留下童年璀璨的回忆。这首由哈罗德．阿伦（Harold Arlen）作曲的歌曲融合了流行音乐和美洲黑人音乐的风格，在片中由朱迪．加兰演唱，曾在排行榜首位达七周之久。此后还多次被人翻唱，被誉为最成功的电影歌曲之一。1990年3月举行的第62届奥斯卡颁奖典上，当著名歌星黛安娜．罗丝(Diana Ross)上台演唱这首半个世纪以前诞生的电影歌曲时，台下所有来宾——白发苍苍的老艺术家和初出茅庐的新秀们竟同声高唱，场面极为感人。而近六十年后，吴宇森在他导演的动作巨片《变脸》之中再次引用这首经典歌曲，则使这首长青曲获得不少新一代的歌迷。
附歌词：
Over the Rainbow
somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
There's a place that i heard of
Once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true
Some day i'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then oh why can't i?
If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow why
Oh why can't i?
经典回顾：
2001年初的陶喆南港101演唱会上陶喆演绎了3首英文作品，它们是：One Last Try(原唱：Brain McKnight），We'll Be Together(原唱：Sting），A Whole World(阿拉丁OST ）
1. We'll be together
I see me with you and all the things you do
Keep turning round and round in my mind
Forget the weather we should always be together
And any other thought is unkind
To have you with me I would swim the seven seas
To have you as my guide and my light
My love is a flame that burns in your name
We'll be together
We'll be together tonight
We'll be together, yeah
We'll be together, yeah
We'll be together, yeah
I see you with me and all I want to be
Is dancing here with you in my arms
Forget the weather we should always be together
I'll always be a slave to your charms
To have you with me I would swim the seven seas
To have you as the guide in my life
My love is a flame that burns in your name
We'll be together
We'll be together
We'll be together, yeah
We'll be together, yeah
We'll be together, yeah
Call me baby. You can call me anything you want
Call me baby Call me Just call me
We'll be together, yeah
We'll be together, yeah
I see you with me and baby makes three
I see me with you and all the things we do
Forget the weather we should always be together
I need you as my guide and my light
My love is the flame that burns in your name
We'll be together
We'll be together tonight
2.A Whole New World
I can show you the world
shining, shimmering, splendid
tell me, princess, now when did
you last let your heart decide?
I can open your eyes
take you wonder by wonder
over, sideways and under
on a magic carpet ride
A whole new world
A new fantastic point of view
No one to tell us no
Or where to go
Or say we‘re only dreaming
A whole new world
A dazzling place I never knew
But, now, from way up here
It‘s crystal clear
That now I‘m in a whole new world with you
unbelievable sights
indescribable feeling
soaring, tumbling, freewheeling
through an endless diamond sky
A whole new world
(Don‘t you dare close your eyes)
A hundred thousand things to see
(Hold your breath, it gts better)
I‘m like a shooting star
I‘ve come so far
I can‘t go ba k to where I used to be
A whole new world
With new horizons to pursue
I‘ll chase them anywhere
There‘s time to spare
Let me share this whole new world with you
A whole new world
(Every turn a surprise)
With new horizons to pursue
(Every moment, red-letter)
I‘ll chase the anywhere
There‘s time to spare
Anywhere, there‘s time to spare
Let me share this whole new world with you
A whole new world
That‘s where we‘ll be
A thrilling chase
A wonderous place
For you and me
3.One Last Cry
My shattered dreams and broken heart
Are mending on the shelf
I saw you holding hands, standing close to someone else
Now I sit all alone wishing all my feeling was gone
I gave my best to you, nothing for me to do
But have one last cry
Chorus:
One last cry, before I leave it all behind
I've gotta put you outta my mind this time
Stop living a lie I guess I'm down to my last cry
Cry......
I was here, you were there
Guess we never could agree
While the sun shines on you
I need some love to rain on me
Still I sit all alone, wishing all my feeling was gone
Gotta get over you, nothing for me to do
But have one last cry
Chorus:
One last cry, before I leave it all behind
I've gotta put you outta my mind this time
Stop living a lie I know I gotta be strong
Cause round me life goes on and on and on
And on.....
I'm gonna dry my eyes
Right after I had my
One last cry
Chorus:
One last cry, before I leave it all behind
I've gotta put you outta my mind for the very last time
Been living a lie I guess
I'm down I guess
I'm down I guess
I'm down...
To my last cry...
