Michael Jackson 《Billy Jean》最伟大的歌曲:Billie Jean - 迈克尔·杰克逊
文:Jody Rosen 译:Keen
那是1982年的夏天。杰克逊正在洛杉矶的101高速公路上。当他和制作人昆西·琼斯在录音棚里为《Off The Wall》的后继之作工作数天后,他驾车回家。根据杰克逊在1988年自传里的回忆,当时的他正“深深沉醉于一段萦绕在脑海里的旋律”,所以他并没有意识到他的豪华座驾的底盘开始冒烟。
“我们正开下高速路的时候,一个年轻人骑着摩托车贴过来告诉我们说,‘你们着火啦’!我们于是突然注意到了烟雾,并赶紧停下车来。整个劳斯莱斯的底部都烧了起来。那个孩子真的是救了我们一命。”但是,哪怕是与死神擦肩而过,也不能动摇杰克逊对他进展中的工作的痴迷。“甚至在我们寻求到了帮助,并找到了去我们目的地的新途径的同时,我还在安静的谱写更多的素材。”
这支歌曲或许是杰克逊写过的最自我的作品,这个关于恐惧不安的亲子关系认领戏剧的灵感,源自于该歌星和那些患有妄想症的女性歌迷们的遭遇。杰克逊为这首歌曲工作了几个月,并确信他手上拥有了不同寻常的东西。
“音乐家知道什么会是畅销的素材。一切都得感觉到位。要让你感到圆满,感觉美好。”杰克逊回忆说,“这就是我对‘Billie Jean’的感觉。我在写它的时候就知道它一定会一鸣惊人。”
She was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene
I said don't mind, but what do you mean I am the one
Who will dance on the floor in the round
She said I am the one, who will dance on the floor in the round
She told me her name was Billie Jean, as she caused a scene
Then every head turned with eyes that dreamed of being the one
Who will dance on the floor in the round
People always told me be careful of what you do
And don't go around breaking young girls' hearts
And mother always told me be careful of who you love
And be careful of what you do 'cause the lie becomes the truth
Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son
She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son
For forty days and for forty nights
The law was on her side
But who can stand when she's in demand
Her schemes and plans
'Cause we danced on the floor in the round
So take my strong advice, just remember to always think twice
(Do think twice)
She told my baby we'd danced till three, then she looked at me
Then showed a photo my baby cried his eyes were like mine (oh, no!)
'Cause we danced on the floor in the round, baby
People always told me be careful of what you do
And don't go around breaking young girls' hearts
She came and stood right by me
Then the smell of sweet perfume
This happened much too soon
She called me to her room
Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son
Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son
She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son
She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son
Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son
She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son
She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son
She says I am the one
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is
Billie Jean is
Billie Jean is
Not my lover
Not my lover
Not my lover
Not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover (she is just a girl)
Billie Jean is not my lover (she is just a girl)
Billie Jean is not my lover (she is just a girl)
Billie Jean is not my lover (she is just a girl)
Billie Jean is
Billie Jean is
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is
Billie Jean is
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover
Watching every motion in my foolish lover's game
On this endless ocean finally lovers know no shame
Turning and returning to some secret place inside
Watching in slow motion as you turn around and say
Take my breath away
Take my breath away
Watching I keep waiting still anticipating love
Never hesitating to become the fated ones
Turning and returning to some secret place to hide
Watching in slow motion as you turn to me and say
Take my breath away
Through the hourglass I saw you, in time you slipped away
When the mirror crashed I called you, and turned to hear you say
If only for today I am unafraid
Take my breath away
Take my breath away
Watching every motion in this foolish lover's game
Haunted by the notion somewhere there's a love in flames
Turning and returning to some secret place inside
Watching in slow motion as you turn to me and say
