列侬和洋子：头顶唯有天空

No, he hadn’t even dragged a comb across his head.
他真的看起来很邋遢
He looked really scruffy, actually.
他们吃了吐司夹蛋
They actually have eggs on toast, you see.
他喜欢吃番茄罐头 因为他们不喜欢生鲜
He likes tinned tomatoes, ’cause they don’t like real ones.
我不知道和他们呆在一起多久了
I didn’t know how long I had them for,
我觉得就十分钟 但结果是六七个小时
ten minutes or, as it turned out, six or seven hours.
所以我问 “我能开始拍照吗”
So I said, “Can I start taking pictures?”
他说 “当然 开始拍吧”
And he said, “Of course, go for it,” you know?
所以 那儿有一大帮子人
So, there was a bunch of people there.
这些人来了
There were people arriving.
有贝斯手克劳斯·沃尔曼
There was Klaus Voormann, the bass player.
克劳斯·沃尔曼
尼基·霍普金斯
有尼基·霍普金斯
There was Nicky Hopkins.
当时还有一些我不认识的人
There were some other people who I didn’t recognise at the time.
然后乔治·哈里森出现了 我很吃惊
Then George Harrison showed up, and I was, “Oh, my God.””
在制♥作♥《想象》专辑的期间
We all went every day for, you know,
艾伦·怀特
我们每天都去他家
for the whole period of making ‘Imagine…
每天早上我都开车去他家
It was a daily trip in the car in the morning.
艾伦·怀特
鼓手
我们到了以后 吃点早餐喝喝咖啡
We’d get there, have a bit of breakfast and coffee
然后开工
and then get into it.
我那时住在弗莱尔公园
I was living at Friar Park.
克劳斯·沃尔曼
贝斯手
我在那儿买♥♥了一栋不错的小别♥墅♥
I’d got my little cottage there and it was great.
乔治有些好车
George had those great cars and
把它们一起开出来很拉风
it was nice to drive together.
乔治把这辆
And I had this little Mini,
坦陀罗 古印度玄学和哲学体系
车身喷满坦陀罗艺术图案的
which was all painted in tantra art,
迷你轿车送给了我
George gave it to me.
但当我们一起开出来的时候
But when we drove together,
他开的是奔驰还是什么车
he had, well, I don’t know, some Mercedes or something.
所以我说 “这真棒”
So I said, “It’s great,”
这很有趣 他喜欢开车
And it was fun, and he loved driving.
菲尔·斯佩克特到了
Phil Spector arrived.
在夏天的英格兰 一个摇滚音乐节上
He was dressed in a three-piece suit and a collar and tie
他穿着三件套西装 穿衬衫打领带
in the middle of summer in England in a rock session,
在后台也是这样
and shades.
他是个非常重要的人物
And he was a very heavy presence.
他看起来气势汹汹的
And he’s just looked menacing.
到时候了
At a certain point,
菲尔就会站起来小声说道
Phil stood up and sort of whispered something like,
“我想我们应该开始干活了”
“I think we should get started now,”
然后约翰就站起来说
And John shot up,
“好了 各位 菲尔让我们进录音棚”
and said, “Right, everybody, Phil wants us in the studio.”
然后他收走大家手里的杯子
And he was taking mugs out of people’s hands, you know.
我们是听磁带还是直接录
Shall we listen to the tape or shall we just get on?
-我们开干吧 -开干吧 行
– Let’s go and do them. – Let’s go and do them, OK.
开始吧 乔治你去哪里
Let’s go. George, are you coming?
快点 伙计们
Come on, gang.
动作快点 动起来
Come on now, let’s go.
怎样 是A小调
How? It’s A minor.
相同的和♥弦♥ 小七度 对吗
It’s the same chord, A minor seventh, is it?
我想应在F音组上时间长一点
It stays on F a bit long, I think.
练习曲
Etude.
就这样
That’s all it is.
那是个大和♥弦♥吗
Is that a major chord?
对 这是D7
Yeah, D7, that is.
好 我们打开窗户再练一下
Yeah. Let’s try and open the window up a bit.
约翰到录音棚演奏歌♥曲时
John comes in the studio,
他觉得大家都已经知道该怎么做
plays a song and he thinks everybody knows it already.
他向来如此 没有耐心
That’s typical for John, that he’s very impatient.
不 也许是D7
No, D7, maybe.
他总想着自己
He thinks for himself.
但我们只在录音棚里练过几次
But you see, we played in the studio a few times,
然后忽然 大家都摸清了他的脾气
then suddenly everybody finds his way, you know?
♪ 你今晚如何入眠 ♪
♪ Ah, how do you sleep at night? ♪
一开始 我不太听得清歌♥词
At first, I couldn’t quite hear the lyrics,
因为歌♥声是通过麦克风传到控制室的
because they were going through the mic into the control room,
第一句歌♥词是
and the first line was,
“佩珀军士让你大吃一惊”
“So Sgt. Pepper took you by surprise.”
♪ 佩珀军士让你 ♪
♪ So Sgt. Pepper took you… ♪
然后我想 “这是一首给粉丝的歌♥”
And I thought, “Oh, it’s a song about the fans,””
因为佩珀军士让我大吃一惊
because ‘Sgt. Pepper’ took me by surprise.
然后是这句歌♥词
And then there was the line,
“你创造的不过是美好的昨日”
“The only good thing you did was yesterday”.
♪ 你创造的不过是美好的昨日 ♪
♪ The only good thing you done was yesterday ♪
自从你离开后
“And since you’ve been gone,”
又是新一天”
it’s been just another day”.
♪ 自从你离开后 又是新一天 ♪
♪ And since you’ve gone, it’s just another day ♪
然后我想 “等等
And I thought, “Hang on a minute.
歌♥词中包含保罗·麦卡尼特两首歌♥的歌♥名
They’re two Paul McCartney song titles.”
《Yesterday》和《Sgt. 佩珀’s lonely hearts Club Band》
♪ 那些怪人是对的 ♪
♪ Those freaks was right ♪
♪ 他们说你已死了 ♪
♪ When they said you was dead ♪
大家都知道
It became clear that
约翰和保罗不和
there was a spat between John and Paul
而我作为一名正式成员却不知道
which I, as a member of the public, was not aware of.
我利用自己对保罗的怨恨
I Used my resentment against Paul,
类似手足之争的那种怨恨
that I have as a kind of sibling rivalry resentment,
来写歌♥
to create a song.
而且在歌♥里我会对保罗攻击我的
And I was answering a few little messages
予以回击
that Paul sent to me on ‘Ram’, you see?
只有我写歌♥词
Only I publish my lyrics, you see?
他不写 所以你得仔细听
He doesn’t, so you have to listen dead hard.
-从艺术性上和音乐性上 -是首好歌♥
– Artistically and musically… – It’s a good song.
如果你听过 一定觉得是首好歌♥
If you listen to it, it’s a beautiful song.
♪ 你活在环绕你的 ♪
♪ You live with straights who told you ♪
保罗察觉不到
Paul personally doesn’t feel
我骂了他
as though I insulted him or anything,
因为我上周和他一起吃过饭
cos I had dinner with him last week.
所以与保罗无关 是我的问题
So it’s not about Paul, it’s about me.
♪ 妈妈叮嘱你时你暴跳如雷 ♪
♪ Jump when your momma tell you anything ♪
我想要两个鼓手
两个鼓手吗
我们已经有史蒂文了
我们差一套鼓
什么 你说什么
Oh. What? What?
我们没有另一套鼓
我明白了
Oh, I see
那我们把另一套鼓放在哪里
在那时 录歌♥环节中美好的事莫过于
The nice thing about the recording sessions
把所有歌♥曲一口气演奏出来
in those days was that you play all at the same time.
就是这样
Hit it!
那很重要 很有趣
And that’s so important. It’s so much fun.
对约翰来说 也是一大乐趣
And for John, it was fun, too.
即使他写歌♥ 我们为歌♥谱曲
Even though he was focused on a song and we tuned into it,
对他来说这仍然是一大乐趣
still, it was a fun, fun situation.
他的脑袋里全是《想象》
He had the whole of ‘Imagine’ in his head.
他脑子里有整张专辑
He had the whole thing.
乔治 你的那段
George, on your break,
你能演奏一下开头一点点吗
will you, just for the first bit, play the tune?
-好 旋律是什么来着 -就像
– Yeah. How does that go? – Well, just like…
只要一个调就行
Even the one note will do.
这一整张专辑
That whole album,
他脑子里有所有曲子 只是没有写下来
he had all the songs. They weren’t written down.
可能有一些段落记下来了
Or there may have been parts written down.
但他就直接开始了
But he just started.
♪ 我生命中的初次心动 ♪
♪ Oh my love for the first time in my life ♪
♪ 让我睁开双眸 ♪
♪ My eyes are wide open ♪
他会唱歌♥ 你能听到他的歌♥声
He would sing the song, and you would hear him.
如果你看着他的眼睛
Maybe if you look in his eyes,
你就会看到他所唱的歌♥
or whatever, and we see what he sings.
从他的弹奏里你就会感受到这首歌♥
So you got a feeling of the song just by him playing it
