2、流行音乐界历史上最伟大，最有影响力，最为成功的乐队。披头士乐队对于流行音乐的革命性的发展与影响力无人可出其右，对于世界范围内摇滚的发展做出了非常巨大的贡献，影响了自60年代以后的数代摇滚乐队的音乐和思想，直接影响了摇滚乐的变革和发展，在英国，披头士乐队更是影响了60年代至今几乎每一支乐队的形成和发展。而乐队中四名伟大的音乐家，特别是约翰列侬(John Lennon)和保罗麦卡特尼(Paul McCartney)，对于世界各个角落的后辈摇滚歌手及音乐创作者们的影响持续至今。,The Beatles （披头士乐队）在上个世纪六十年代引领了轰轰烈烈的，被美国称为“英国入侵(British Invas
3、ion)”的音乐文化入侵浪潮，从根本上冲击了美国音乐的基础，彻底结束了“猫王”埃尔维斯普雷斯利(Elvis Presley)的王朝，统治了美国唱片市场，并影响了此后美国本土流行音乐的发展道路.,(500有史最伟大的歌曲”中,Yesterday名列第十三 ),yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away now it seems as though theyre here to stay oh, i believe in yesterday. suddenly, im not half the man i used to be, theres a s

6、 Take a sad song and make it better. Remember to let her into your heart, Then you can start to make it better. Hey Jude, dont be afraid. You were made to go out and get her. The minute you let her under your skin, Then you begin to make it better. And anytime you feel the pain, hey Jude, refrain, D

9、tter better better better better, oh. Na na na, na na na na, na na na, hey Jude.,但在Let it be里，Paul显然已经知道，Beatles作为团队的团结已经一去不复返了，他对自己所做的努力已经绝望了。 在那个时候，John更喜欢把时间花在Yoko身上，而且创作理念也因此发生了极大的变化。 Yoko总是出现在录音室，让其他三个Beatles都十分的反感。 George沉浸在印度宗教中，这从他的许多作品中得以体现。而且十分不满意自己不受重视的地位，已经退出乐队一次了。 因为气氛很差，Ringo也在录制White
10、Album的时候短暂退出过。 “在经理人Epstein先生过世以后，我觉得我们都很消沉”，Paul说，“我们不再乐观了，所以开始厌倦了团队形式的存在。没有任何积极的一面，干什么都拖拖拉拉的。吸毒并不是解决它的办法，我们四个人应该好好想想，我们应该振作起来还是选择忘却。” 虽然Paul的角色也许很重要，但他受到了其他人的抵制。,Paul在录音室里督促和教训其他人，让另外三人很愤恨。 Paul所做的一切，不但没有让情况好转，反而加速了Beatles的破裂。 加在他身上的压力越来越大，Paul再能做的，只有“Let it be”，随它去吧。 “当所有的生意和事业上的问题开始出现问题的时候我很消沉，并
11、写下了它”，Paul说。“我真的处于我人生中黑暗的时刻，写歌是我净化灵魂的方式。” 他以现代的方式写了一首圣歌赞美诗。由于对“Mother Mary”的祈祷出现在歌词中，歌曲宗教的意味加强了。,Let it be,When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me Speaking words of wisdom, let it be And in my hour of darkness she is standing right in front of me Speaking words of wisdom, let
12、 it be Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be Whisper words of wisdom, let it be,And when the broken hearted people living in the world agree There will be an answer, let it be For though they may be parted, there is still a chance that they will see There will be an answer,let it be Let it be,

15、危机、精神危机，于是年轻人成为这个时期的主角。他们渴望追求幻想中的反叛与自由，就如同片中的奥利佛一样，与家长在思想观念上出现严重的代沟，并逐渐走向对峙状态。这一时期，吸毒、摇滚乐、迷幻乐、性解放、民权运动、越战等等就是此时的关键词。可以说整个60年代都是在游行口号、歌声枪炮声中度过的。世界变得非常疯狂，乱成一团，似乎完全改变了原来的模样。 而就在这时，一部爱情故事诞生了。虽然讲述着一段关于年轻人的并不复杂的故事，却一下子带给人们一种久违的美好感觉，仿佛一股来自田园的清新空气，让人们回到了战前的那种平静生活。正是这部电影为人们提供了精神上的乌托邦世界，所以在那个时代显得独树一帜，也因而写入了历史
16、。进入70年代之后，年轻人们追求的独立和自由的脚步停滞不前了，或许与这部电影的关系不是太大，但是本片在70年代初带给观众的心灵震撼是可想而知的。,关于病魔夺走爱情的电影数不胜数，而且很多都是流俗之作。我以前看过韩国的菊花香，由于拍摄唯美浪漫，因而深深打动了我。相比而言，爱情故事应该算这种类型电影的鼻祖级代表了，却并没有想象中的那么感人，却足以纯洁透彻。 故事发生在美国著名高校哈佛大学里。奥利佛和珍妮在图书馆相识，起初两个人还因为图书的事情争吵，结果一个镜头切过来，变成了奥利佛在餐厅里请珍妮喝咖啡。转换速度之快让人难以捉摸，这种缺乏过渡的剪接成为第一个败笔。后来他们迅速坠入爱河。恋爱中的男女的娱
17、乐生活自然会十分丰富，奥利佛专攻他的冰球，珍妮一直在支持着他。这期间有很多的小波折，就不一一赘述了。 奥利佛带珍妮去见自己的父母。奥利佛的父母是百万富翁，可是奥利佛却与父母之间有很深的隔阂，他养成了叛逆的习惯。父母得知珍妮的家庭是个烤面包的，就犹豫了起来。可是奥利佛还是毅然与珍妮结婚。 婚后的生活依旧琐碎，我都很难归纳。终于，重点来了。珍妮患上了绝症，在那最后的日子里，奥利佛无时无刻不在守候着她。为了给她治病，奥利佛向父亲借钱，父子两人也因为这件事拉近了距离。但是可惜的是，珍妮还是被病魔带走了。只剩下奥利佛一个人面对着茫茫白雪发呆。,love story sung by “andy willi
18、ams“ where do i begin to tell a story of how great a love can be the sweet love story that is older than the sea the simple truth about the love she brings to me where do i start,with her first hello she gave a meaning to this empty world of mine thered never be another love,another time she came in
19、to my life and made the living fine,she fills my heart, she fills my heart with very special things with angel songs, with wild imaginings she fills my soul with so much love that anywhere i go im never lonely. with her along who could be lonely i reach for her hand its always there how long does it
20、 last can love be measured by the hours in a day i have no answers now but this much i can say: i know ill need her till the stars all burn away and shell be there,上帝总是嫉妒赋有才华的人。当我们想起卡朋特的时候，这样想是最好的安慰。这对兄妹组合无疑是七十年代最成功的流行音乐组合之一，他们在八十年代初结束演艺生涯前创作了无数好歌。虽然最先显现音乐天才的是哥哥Richard，可是妹妹Karen那近乎完美和极富感情的嗓音却更深地印刻在我
21、们的心里。 卡朋特最初的道路并不顺畅，他们和好友Webs Jacobs的第一盒样带以失败告终，但这并未在他们日后的演艺生涯中带来丝毫阴影。1968年,兄妹俩的首张专辑offering借助beatles的Ticket To Ride得到注意，于是和当时许多成名歌手一样，他们开始走上流行摇滚之路。可是时代为卡朋特创造了机会，就象十九世纪的美国需要秀兰.邓波尔一样，六十年代的美国将卡朋特捧为了英雄。就在人们面对校园里和街道上的毫不间歇的骚乱暴动，经历着史上最大一次代沟问题，而陷入无助和绝望的时候，这对来自Downey小镇的，歌声醇美，轮廓鲜明，总爱唱着爱情歌曲的兄妹便成了救世主，一时间，所有的父母和
22、孩子都开始聆听同一首歌“why do birds,suddenly appear,everytime you are near”,卡朋特用close to you搭起了两代人之间的桥梁，歌声里跃动着他们热爱生命的心。整个七十年代早期，卡朋特一直在不停的成长，慢慢成为了全世界最负盛名的流行音乐组合，录制了无数排行榜金曲，“Rainy Days and Mondays”，“Goodbye to Love”，“Weve Only Just begun”和“Top of the World”都是当时耳熟能详的歌曲，Grammy奖也毫不迟疑的降临在他们的额上。可生活总不会是一帆风顺的，到了1975年，卡
23、朋特一贯坚持的Pop-Rock路线逐渐变得不时髦了，Richard和Karen也被各自的个人问题所困扰，卡朋特有了解散的迹象，Karen和Phil Ramone 一起录制了一张个人专辑。但几个月后，兄妹二人又在一起演出了，1981年的Made in America是他们最出色的一张专辑。 就在人们以为卡朋特就要恢复昔日雄风时，悲剧发生了。-不幸地，她患了厌食症。在karen的墓碑上刻着这样简单的文字：a star on earth，a star in heaven.“A song for you”，十七年后的今天，Karen还在深情地唱着：“and when my life is over，
24、remember when we were together，we were alone and I was singing this song for you!” 仍旧是邻家那个嗓音恬美的女孩，和她的名字卡朋特一样纯朴。,close to you why do birds suddenly appear every time you are near? just like me, they long to be close to you. why do stars fall down from the sky every time you walk by? just like me, the
25、y long to be close to you. on the day that you were born the angels got together and decided to create a dream come true so they sprinkled moon dust in your hair of gold and starlight in your eyes of blue. that is why all the girls in town follow you all around. just like me, they long to be,close t
