Neil Young - Helpless



There is a town in north Ontario,
With dream comfort memory to spare,
And in my mind
I still need a place to go,
All my changes were there.

Blue, blue windows behind the stars,
Yellow moon on the rise,
Big birds flying across the sky,
Throwing shadows on our eyes.
Leave us

Helpless, helpless, helpless
Baby can you hear me now?
The chains are locked
and tied across the door,
Baby, sing with me somehow.

Blue, blue windows behind the stars,
Yellow moon on the rise,
Big birds flying across the sky,
Throwing shadows on our eyes.
Leave us

Helpless, helpless, helpless.

  當年唔知去灣仔京都還是海運看早場,其中〈烈火暴潮〉有一首歌Helpless,由Neil Young所唱。這歌寫成於一九六九年,出版於一九七零年,又是一首四十年前的歌。
  之後一九七六年,The Band樂隊解散,上演了最後一場音樂會,馬田史高西斯拍成紀錄片,名為〈最後的華爾滋〉(The last Waltz),記錄了The Band與眾樂手一同盡興演出,電影公演時為一九七八年。
  The Band與Neil Young除了jam音樂,亦演出了這首Helpless,唔知係未索K索得多,雖然Neil Young有點high high地,以此曲而言,始終覺得這個版本Neil Young唱得最為精彩,任其發揮,樂隊、和唱出色,獨特聲線散發無奈,感染力強。
  看似悲觀,實在不失希望,因為有你同行。

  電影開始,正是音樂會的結束,唱的是Don't Do It。


  二零零二及二零零六分別再版發行,更有預告片。
