Amy Winehouse--rehab

每到一年要結束的時候,都會有許多一年回顧的報導,像是一年中發生過的十大重大新聞之類的. 看到TIME雜誌也以如以往一樣,洋洋灑灑地列出了50 個 top 10 lists,其中像是有top 10 movies 或是 top 10 medical breakthroughs 等等. 2007的top 10 songs 有些曲目聽都沒聽過,但是相信第一名的Amy Winehouse所演唱的rehab,很多人應該不陌生. 第一次聽這首歌,馬上就被她黑人獨有的藍調唱腔給吸引住了,她的嗓音讓我聽了有種微醺的感覺,聽過這首個的人,我想很難不記得這樣令人著迷的歌聲.她不但是一個靈魂爵士歌手,也是位作詞者. 雖然她有嚴重的酗酒和嗑藥問題,但仍不影響他在歌唱事業上亮眼的表現.出道至今發行過兩張專輯的她,已經備受矚目,2007年在美國發行的black to black 更一次獲得了六項Grammy Award的提名. 這張專輯有別於上張frank的爵士樂風,轉向了現在流行的R&B,其中收錄單曲rehab更是令人印象深刻,它主要是在描述她拒絕進勒戒所的心路歷程.其中有許多歌詞寫的很生動像是[hey tried to make me go to rehab I won't go go go, I'd rather be at home with Ray]直截地表達出她內心的聲音.

Lyrics

"Rehab"

They tried to make me go to rehab but I said 'no, no, no'
Yes I've been black but when I come back you'll know know know
I ain't got the time and if my daddy thinks I'm fine
He's tried to make me go to rehab but I won't go go go

I'd rather be at home with ray
I ain't got seventy days
Cause there's nothing
There's nothing you can teach me
That I can't learn from Mr Hathaway

I didn't get a lot in class
But I know it don't come in a shot glass

They tried to make me go to rehab but I said 'no, no, no'
Yes I've been black but when I come back you'll know know know
I ain't got the time and if my daddy thinks I'm fine
He's tried to make me go to rehab but I won't go go go

The man said 'why do you think you here'
I said 'I got no idea
I'm gonna, I'm gonna lose my baby
so I always keep a bottle near'
He said 'I just think your depressed,
this me, yeah baby, and the rest'

They tried to make me go to rehab but I said 'no, no, no'
Yes I've been black but when I come back you'll know know know

I don't ever wanna drink again
I just ooh I just need a friend
I'm not gonna spend ten weeks
have everyone think I'm on the mend

It's not just my pride
It's just 'til these tears have dried

They tried to make me go to rehab but I said 'no, no, no'
Yes I've been black but when I come back you'll know know know
I ain't got the time and if my daddy thinks I'm fine
He's tried to make me go to rehab but I won't go go go
