靈魂樂 Crazy in Music

Hall & Oates (霍爾與歐茲)
*.左邊為Daryl Hall ，右邊為John Oates(好像超級瑪麗，尤其是那鬍子)
以前常看到他們的名字，但都不太留意聽過。直到幾年前深夜在ICRT聽到他們的「One on One」 時，才發現他們的曲風其實很對味~ 
【About Hall & Oates】
    Daryl Hall & John Oates為70年代所組成的二人團體，於80年代開始走紅。 曲風偏向白人靈魂樂及帶點搖滾（Rock'n Soul)。
    以下是網路許多人都有詳細介紹Hall & Oates的資料(如：歌曲故事及組成過程等)，有興趣可以點來看看

 【MV欣賞】
     第一首1979年 Wait for me ，不敢相信這首歌已有三十年了! 但即使現在聽，仍是如此動聽。
    
歌詞在描述一對年輕的愛侶，男孩希望女孩能為他等候，雖然他知道這個要求非常無理，但他實在太希望能與她在一起。另外他也會擔心害怕失敗及女孩周遭環境的誘惑。但他還是懇求女孩能為他等候。
第一個是在1982年在東京LIVE的版本，第二個是1979年電視版本(應該是MV}。
1.Wait For Me (1982) - Hall & Oates (Tokyo)
*.每次聽現場時，最怕不知那裡是ending，我都很怕日本歌迷在中間就尖叫出來，這樣這首歌就完了~ 不過好險沒有

 
第二首One on one讓我開始認識Hall & Oates 的第一首歌。
One On One這首歌是在述說希望能多點兩人獨處時間。
收錄在1982年「H2O」專輯。
以下為MV及1983年LIVE版本。
1.One On One (1982) - Hall & Oates (MV)


  

第三首1988年Missed Opportunity，滿喜歡它的旋律。前奏一出來，就滿能吸引我繼續聽下去。

Music by D. Hall
Lyrics by D. Hall, J.
Oates, S. Allen
Keep on missing each other
Our world's out of order
All I see is Missed Opportunity
And we -
(Keep on missing each other)
Keep missing each other
(Our world's out of order)
All I see is Missed Opportunity
Will we ever learn
In trouble where will we turn
And when you're losing the fight
Who's your white knight gonna be
Feel you drift away
oh baby you don't hear
what I'm sayin'
We had a chance to stay together
Ooh forever
But we got lost in a dream
(Keep on missing each other)
Missing each other
(Our world's out of order)
So all I see is
(Missed Opportunity)
Opportunity
And we (keep on
missing each other)
Missing each other
(Our world's out of order)
All I see
(Missed Opportunity)
Missed Opportunity
Talk but never show
You're holding back
Words lack meaning that's all
Things you say ricochet
Miss by a mile
The words don't work for me
Who understands
Why the world's nasty girl
When we're doin' the best we can
Even tho we're walking a wire
Where there's hope there's desire
Calling you back to
your white knight
(Keep on missing each other)
Missing each other
(Our world's out of order)
All I see is
(Missed Opportunity)
Missed Opportunity
And we
(Keep on missing each other)
Keep missing each other
(Our world's out of order)
All I see is
(Missed Opportunity)
Missed Opportunity
Yeah right
Now baby who understands
Not me, not me
Oh yeah
I (keep on missing each other)
Our (our world's out of order)
All I see is
(Missed Opportunity)
Oh we keep holding on
(keep on missing each other)
Can't together baby
(Our world's out of order)
It seems to me we're
wasting all our time
(Missed Opportunity)
That's right
Oh holding on
(Keep on missing each other)
I try to keep holding on
(Our world's out of order)
No use baby, keep missing
(Missed Opportunity)
I tried
(And we keep on
missing each other)
Tried so hard
(Our world's out of order)
I could've been, should've been
(Missed Opportunity)
(We keep on missing each other)
Oh we almost made it baby
(Our world's out of order)
Tried so hard and we got so close
(Missed Opportunity)
Oh we keep holding on
