DANNY ERA
DANNY CHAN
BEAUTY IN THE HEART
陳百強:美麗在心頭
“My words like silent raindrops fell…”-Sounds of Silence
While thinking a title for Danny Chan’s retrospective, somehow, the songSounds of Silence from The Graduate refuses to go away.
「我的語音與無的雨滴同墜-《沉默之聲》
在為陳百強紀念專輯苦思題目之時,不知怎地,電影《畢業生》的歌曲《沉默之聲》( Sound of Silence.)盤據筆者腦海,揮之不去.
Somehow, Danny’s cool tone and voice sounds the best while presenting songs such as Sounds of Silence. Perhaps, this is the faint desire of a long-time fan, for an idol that is already gone.
When thinking about Danny Chan, and the era that should have belonged to him, we cannot help hesitating and stuttering between truth and nostalgia.
怎都覺得丹尼冷艳的唱腔·最適合演繹《沉默之声》一類的歌曲。這大概便是一個歌迷對於一個已逝的歌手淡淡的渴望。景觀失憶,每天都在發生,難怪二十年後,筆者會以為丹尼當年献唱的是《沉默之声》。
當想起陳百或想起本該屬於他卻跟他擦身而過的年代我們總是難免躊躇,難免唏嘘,於懷緬和真實之間。
