Playlist: Meet Joe Black - Thomas Newman - Somewhere over the Rainbow; What a Wonderful World

早上在 StreamingSoundtracks.com 聽到這首歌嚇了一跳。沒錯！這就是我想找的歌。這陣子可以看到 TOYOTA 的廣告配樂就是用這一首歌。聽起來相當的舒服，一直想不起來在那聽過。原來是在Meet Joe Black(第六感生死緣)中有，不過沒什麼印象。在 Wikipedia 中終於有點線索了。但上面說是30年代的歌，曾是 The Wizard of Oz (綠野仙蹤)的一首歌。

不過那個時代不可能流行夏威夷的曲風，原來是之後一位夏威夷的歌手 Israel Kamakawiwo'ole 唱的，而且是混合了 Louis Armstrong 的 What a Wonderful World。而且在 Finding Forrester(心靈訪客)、50 First Dates(我的失憶女友)中都有用到，那可能是在後面那片聽到的吧？

歌詞給人的感覺就像是的生在世上是這麼的美好這麼的安詳，當然曲子聽起來也是會讓人心靈沉澱，尤其是那 ooooo 弦律一直深印在腦中。難怪下午一直聽這首，搞到都沒什麼工作鬥志了。

Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
And the dreams that you dreamed of
Once in a lullaby ii ii iii
Somewhere over the rainbow
Blue birds fly
And the dreams that you dreamed of
Dreams really do come true ooh ooooh
Someday I'll wish upon a star
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me ee ee eeh
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney tops thats where you'll find me oh
Somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly
And the dream that you dare to,why, oh why can't I? i iiii

Well I see trees of green and
Red roses too,
I'll watch them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world

Well I see skies of blue and I see clouds of white
And the brightness of day
I like the dark and I think to myself
What a wonderful world

The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people passing by
I see friends shaking hands
Saying, "How do you do?"
They're really saying, I...I love you
I hear babies cry and I watch them grow,
They'll learn much more
Than we'll know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world (w)oohoorld

Someday I'll wish upon a star,
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney top that's where you'll find me
Oh, Somewhere over the rainbow way up high
And the dream that you dare to, why, oh why can't I? I hiii ?

Ooooo oooooo oooooo
Ooooo oooooo oooooo
Ooooo oooooo oooooo
Ooooo oooooo oooooo
Ooooo oooooo oooooo
Ooooo oooooo oooooo
