第一次接觸雷鬼樂的時候是高中的一個外國朋友介紹的
當初聽到的第一首歌曲是Bob Marley的No Woman No Cry
沒有看歌詞習慣的我,今天再度聽到這首歌,也終於第一次知道歌詞的內容
沒想到在這麼動人的旋律下,歌詞是可以這麼的鼓舞人心
就像歌詞中的In this great future, You can't forget your past
在往前奮鬥的同時也要緬懷過去.....
他的歌曲,就是這麼的可以引起大家的共鳴...

小小介紹雷鬼音樂:
雷鬼音樂源自於牙買加,它容入了美國藍調以及拉丁音樂的熱情,
它非常強調vocal,通常用吟唱方式來進行
background以guitar, keyboard, bass為主,節奏很重.
早期的歌詞道出日常瑣碎生活以及窮人的聲音還有社會革命的相關話語,
當然也有表達正義,偉大的愛,希望等類型的歌詞.



講到雷鬼樂,大家一定都曉得有雷鬼之父之稱的Bob Marley(鮑伯馬利)
他的音樂是到他去世後才慢慢變的有名
他的音樂感動了很多人,也影響了很多人
代表作品有大家熟知的"No Woman No Cry", "Get Up, Stand Up", "I Shot the Sheriff", "Stir It Up"....
他的唱片現在在台灣大都可以買的到...
我強力推薦"Legend"這張專輯,裡面收入了所有代表作品
anyway,來一起聽聽這首歌吧!!

連到這邊來聽

No woman no cry
No woman no cry
No woman no cry
No woman no cry

Said I remember when we used to sit
In a government yard in Trenchtown
Observing the hypocrites
As they would mingle with the good people we meet
Good friends we have
Oh, good friends we've lost
Along the way
In this great future
You can't forget your past
So dry your tears, I say

No woman no cry
No woman no cry
Here little darlin', don't shed no tears
No woman no cry

Said I remember when we use to sit
In the government yard in Trenchtown
And then Georgie would make the fire lights
As it was, log would burnin' through the nights
Then we would cook cornmeal porridge
Of which i'll share with you
My feet is my only carriage
So i've got to push on through
But while i'm gone i mean it
Everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright

So woman no cry
No woman no cry
Woman, little sister
Don't shed no tears
No woman no cry
