在The Kinks成军届满四十年， Ray Davies终于发表大家期待已久的个人专辑《Other People’s Life》，这也是他首次以个人身分录制的作品。
Ray在2005年因目睹卡崔娜飓风摧残纽奥尔良的惨状，而特别发行了EP《Thanksgiving Day》，该张EP的销售所得都全数捐做为纽奥尔良灾区的音乐教育基金，而这张新专辑的部分灵感也是来自于纽奥尔良，曾在当地居住过的Ray认为这个音乐之都是他的庇护所，在这里他可以沉淀身心，汲取到源源不绝的灵感，因此Ray在经过风灾洗礼之后，决定把一些以往未完成的歌曲拿出来完成，加上在The Kinks团里时就写好的一些个人风格的作品，经过这一段时间的沈淀，Ray才惊觉原来这些歌曲记录了他这些年的心情，是他生命的写照，于是《Other People’s Life》这张集生命菁华于一身的经典专辑诞生。

| Are you going on Thanksgiving Day To those family celebrations? Passing on knowledge down through the years At the gathering of generations Every year it's the same routine All over, all over Come on over, it's Thanksgiving Day Papa looks over at the small gathering Remembering days gone by Smiles at the children as he watches them play And wishes his wife was still by his side She would always cook dinner on Thanksgiving Day It's all over, it's all over It's all over the American way But sometimes the children are so far away And in a dark apartment on the wrong side of town A lonely spinster prays For a handsome lover and a passionate embrace And kisses all over, all over All over her American face It's all over, it's all over, it's all over 'Cause today she feels so far away From the friends in her hometown So she runs for the Greyhound She'll spend hours on the bus but she'll reach town For Thanksgiving Day Come on over, come on over Come on over, it's Thanksgiving Day Come on over, come on over Come on over, come on over Come on over, it's Thanksgiving Day At a truck stop a man sits alone at the bar Estranged in isolation It's been a while now and he seems so far From those distant celebrations  相关推荐
