據說巧克力會讓人開心。一個國家的"幸福指數"與這個國家每年所消耗的巧克力重量成正比... 沒聽過這首歌大概也吃過金莎巧克力... 就是這樣,愛情、巧克力、夢,好像是同一件事...
今天推薦 Cass Elliot:Dream a Little Dream of Me (1968)
...
這首歌該怎麼翻?大概是"小小的夢到我一下",有趣的關鍵字是"Little Dream"... 第一次唱這首歌是在四年前的豆皮音樂會,不太容易彈,也不太容易唱,但慵懶的爵士風味令人著迷。
這首歌是 30 年代的曲子,被翻唱成六十多個版本,還有不少演奏曲,最有名的就是這位 Cass Elliot,她是 Mamas & Papas 樂團成員,當時的熱門曲是"加州夢(California Dreaming)"... Well, 雖然物換星移時空不再,拜巧克力之賜,這首超級老歌還依然夠被年輕朋友聽到...
...
從廣告企劃的觀點,把巧克力、愛情和夢放在一起,並借用一首老歌串連,非常高明...
Stars shining bright above you
Night breezes seem to whisper "I love you"
Birds singing in the sycamore tree
Dream a little dream of me
Say "Night-ie night" and kiss me
Just hold me tight and tell me you'll miss me
While I'm alone and blue as can be
Dream a little dream of me
*Stars fading but I linger on, dear
Still craving your kiss
I'm longing to linger till dawn, dear
Just saying this
Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you
But in your dreams whatever they'll be
Dream a little dream of me
