依然 1


主唱﹕林憶蓮﹐作曲﹕A. Armato/G. Cantarelli﹐編曲﹕Alex Dela Cruz﹐作詞﹕林振強

年份﹕1989﹐專輯﹕逃離鋼筋森林

風吹我的衣襟﹐然後載浪花飛奔沾你身﹐
這晚你偶然來一起與我望海。
你對我說﹕“好嗎﹖一切好嗎﹖尋找到真愛吧﹖”
其實你可知道﹐誰依然等﹖

知否你的聲音仍令這靜止的心翻滾﹖
我倆有過凌晨﹐一起看過夜深...
與你有過許多﹐跨過許多甜酸苦的腳步﹐
潮和浪縱洗足印﹐情依然深﹗

依然相信將來再必可一起繼續昨天烈火 !
依然相信將來你終可清楚我在﹐在等甚麼...

假使你的心窩仍盛載著一丁點的愛火﹐
我也會以全神找緊﹐縱費盡心。
縱要費上一生所有光陰﹐仍一點不過問﹐
仍期待你可知道誰依然真。

假使你也是依然﹐感到我所感﹐
容許你我讓當天復燃吧﹗
假使你也是依然﹐需要我所需﹐
容許你我在彼此內留下﹗

依然相信將來你終可清楚眼內在講甚麼﹗
依然相信將來再必可一起繼續昨天濃火...

依然相信依然相信將來再必可一起繼續昨天烈火﹗
依然相信 (Oh Baby, yes I do!)﹐
將來你終可 (Give me one more chance!)﹐
清楚我在﹐在等甚麼...

依然相信 (I still believe...)﹐
將來再必可 (You and me!) 一起繼續昨天濃火...


(PS﹕10 months...)

  1. Max - thanks for posting this. Even though this was a cover of Brenda K. Starr's "I Still Believe" which Mariah Carey also sung, I do really like Sandy's vocals on this track. I totally understand why she was the one singing R&B remakes or covers.

    1. Thanks for your comment Archival Queen (if you don't mind me referring you by this name). Sandy performed her songs really well, regardless of covers or originals. Indeed often her cover songs rival the originals. This one is an excellent example, with breathtaking lyrics by Richard Lam which I myself appreciate more than the original version. The entire work has an entirely new dimension and meaning as a result of such. Yes, Sandy is one of the few HK singers who can master R&B and Jazz. If you like Sandy's songs, then you're lucky coming here, there's more to come =)

    2. Yes that's fine if you refer to me as that (or TAQ if you want to give your fingers a little rest), it is a pen name after all! Now that you mention it, Sandy does have a great versatility in her voice that lets her sing many different genres and she makes it seem so effortless! I actually remember something about her being invited by Andrew Lloyd Weber to sing "Memory" from Cats. Of course, she nailed it. And glad to know that there's more Sandy stuff coming up! :D But as an off topic note, happy holidays!

    3. TAQ is a cute name =) I always listen to Sandy's City Project series, "Dreamt, Mad, Tired" and "Wildflower", they are my fav albums from her. Apart from her flawless vocal technique, the great composers and arrangers should be commended as well. Thanks, hope you had a nice Christmas, and wish you Happy New Year.
