给父亲的歌- Dance with My Father 中英互译

DancewithMyFather

是美国R&B音乐教父级人物路德•范德鲁斯

(LutherVandross)于2003年创作的歌曲。在这首歌中，路德·范德鲁斯回忆了他的童年时光，那时父亲总是逗他笑安慰他，抱着他和母亲一起共舞，那些场景在记忆里那么温馨美好。可是在他七岁那一年，父亲就永远的离开了。于是他在夜晚一遍又一遍的祷告，哪怕只有一次，只有一次也好，我能再见到父亲一次，能再与他漫步，与他共舞......这首歌发行后不久，这位极具天赋的音乐家就因严重的脑梗塞昏迷，于2005年去世。DancewithMyFather

这首歌在当时获得了极大的社会关注。2004年，刚经历丧父之痛的席琳迪翁翻唱了这首歌，同样是经典之作。同年，席琳•迪翁替路•范德鲁斯表演了这首歌的live版，完成了一位巨星对另一位巨星的原版的深情致敬。Whowroteit?LutherVandrossco-wrotethissongwithsinger-songwriterRichardMarx,bestknownforhishits'Hazard'and'RightHereWaiting'.Thesongwaswrittenforhis13thalbumofthesamename,releasedin2003.OneofthereasonsVandrossaskedMarxtohelphimwasbecauseRichardlosthisdadin1997andcouldunderstandthefeelinghewastryingtoconvey.Whatisthesongabout?Vandrosswrote'DancewithMyFather'withMarx,basedonhispersonalexperience.Itisatributetohisfather,LutherVandross,Sr,whodiedduetocomplicationsofdiabetes,whenLutherwasseven.Luther'smostpoignantmemoryofhisdadwashimdancinginthehousewithhiskids,whichiswheretheconceptofthesongcamefrom.LuthersufferedastroketheyearitcameoutAtthetimeof'DancewithMyFather''sreleaseonMay30,2003,Vandrosshadbeenhospitalisedaftersufferingfromastroke.Thistimelyreleaseofthesonggainedfurtherattentionfromcriticsandthepublic.HepassedawaytwoyearslaterItwasahugesuccessLutherVandrossconsideredithis"careersong".Althoughitonlyreachednumber38intheUSand21intheUK,itwonmanyplaudits,includingtwoGrammyAwards.AfterJoeMcElderrysangthesongonTheXFactorin2009,itre-enteredtheUKtop40.「DancewithMyFather」LutherVandrossBackwhenIwasachild
