1986年黃鶯鶯加盟飛碟唱片,
兩年內出了3張中文和3張英文專輯,
建立了鶯鶯姐在飛碟唱片天后的地位
1986年剛好是我熱衷於聽西洋歌的時期,
「Paradise In My Heart」是黃鶯鶯英文專輯當中,
我相當鍾愛的一張,發片當時就相當愛聽,
也因為這張的歌詞,讓我的英文有進步
其中這首充滿東方情調的「Shanghai memories of 1945」,
副歌的「I don't cry, I don't cry」餘音繚繞,
更是讓人聽過難忘
這張實在太多經典,猶豫了很久決定選擇「Forever Young」,
我喜歡副歌高昂配上和聲的部分,
還有歌詞的「你真的想要活到永遠嗎？」
喔～我不想（笑）
原曲是西德的團體Alphaville的第一首歌,
鶯鶯姐的版本一開始編曲很像,
但是我剛剛提到那個副歌加和聲的地方不一樣,
也就是說我鍾愛的部分其實是鶯鶯姐版獨有的
其實編曲很重要,「Shanghai memories of 1945」的原曲聽起來有點恐怖（笑）,
「Have you ever seen the rain」的原曲沒有鶯鶯姐版本的雷聲,
聽久了鶯鶯姐的版本後,聽原曲會覺得少了一番風味
所以為什麼鶯鶯姐的英文歌讓人難忘,
有時候成功的原因在於編曲
除了這首之外「The Power of Love」
「Ticket To The Tropics」,
都是一看到歌名就可以哼出旋律的名曲,
但我猜演唱會最有可能唱的,
還是「Shanghai memories of 1945」吧！
畢竟這首歌在當年實在是太紅了

Shanghai Memories of 1945
I'm wondering how I came to be here
Lying alone trying hard not to shed a tear
Remember daddy said boys don't stay for long」
They always think that there's something wrong
I open up my eyes and I see
Little reminders of when you're here with me
I'm hooked to the telephone
Please you've got to call
I know you never promised anything at all
Shanghai memories of 1945 I don't cry I don't cry
Shanghai memories of 1945 I don't cry I don't cry
My last two weeks go by and I stay
All alone in my room with no-one all day
I must realize you will never see
Life could be good if you only stayed with me
Shanghai memories of 1945 I don't cry I don't cry
Shanghai memories of 1945 I don't cry I don't cry
Forever Young(作詞：Bernhard Lloyd, Marian Gold, Frank Mertens 作曲：Bernhard Lloyd, Marian Gold, Frank Mertens）
1986「Paradise In My Heart」專輯
Forever Young
Let's dance in style let's dance for awhile
Heaven can wait we're only watching the skies
Hoping for the best but expecting the worst
Are you gonna drop the bomb or not
Let us die young or let us live forexer
We don't have the power but we never stay never
Sitting in the sandpit life is a short trip
The music's for the sad man
Can you imagine when this race is won
As we turn our faces into the sun
Praising our leaders we're getting in tune
The music's played by the madman
Forever young I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever forever
And ever (repeat) Forever young
Some are like water some are like the heat
Some are a melody and some are the beat
Sooner or later they all will be gone
Why don't they stay young
It's so hard to get old without a cause
I don't want to perish like a fading rose
Youth's like diamonds in the sun
And diamonds are forever
So many adventures couldn't happen today
So many songs we forgot to play
So many dreams swinging out of the rule
We'll let them come true
Forever young I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever forever
And ever (repeat)
