The last that ever she saw him,
Carried away by a moonlight shadow.
He passed on worried and warning,
Carried away by a moonlight shadow.
Lost in a river that Saturday night,
Far away on the other side.
He was caught in the middle of a desperate fight
And she couldn't find how to push through.
The trees that whisper in the evening,
Carried away by a moonlight shadow.
Sing a song of sorrow and grieving,
Carried away by a moonlight shadow.
All she saw was a silhouette of a gun,
Far away on the other side.
He was shot six times by a man on the run
And she couldn't find how to push through.
[ Chorus ]
I stay, I pray
See you in heaven far away.
I stay, I pray
See you in heaven one day.
Four a.m. in the morning,
Carried away by a moonlight shadow.
I watched your vision forming,
Carried away by a moonlight shadow.
Stars move slowly in a silvery night,
Far away on the other side.
Will you come to talk to me this night,
But she couldn't find how to push through.
[ Repeat Chorus ]
Far away on the other side.
Caught in the middle of a hundred and five.
The night was heavy and the air was alive,
But she couldn't find how to push through.
Carried away by a moonlight shadow.
Carried away by a moonlight shadow.
Far away on the other side.
But she couldn't find how to push through.
mike oldfield,英国作曲家,出生日期:1953年5月15日.moonlight shadow的创作人.14岁时就与姐姐合组民谣二重唱,1973年出版的《tubular bells》,为.恐怖经典电影《大.法.师》增添阴森慑人的气氛。专辑中mike oldfield亲自演奏了近30项的乐器,不仅被誉为乐器天才,其中电子合成器的运用,也被视为日后新世纪音乐的起源之一,《tubular bells》成为他不朽的代表作,1992与1998年更出版了《tubular bells》的第二、三集续作。70年代,他尚有一些演奏专辑出版,不过由于忧郁的个性与压力双重影响,mike oldfield处于精神崩溃边缘,因此他过着隐士的生活甚至接受治疗。80年代,专辑《qe2》是他另一张代表作品,而从《five miles out》、《crises》专辑之后,流行的元素再加入女歌手的客串主唱都使他的音乐听来爽朗,似乎已走出阴霾、诡谲的心里状态。
Moonlight Shadow是mike oldfield尝试加入人声演唱来丰富旋律情感写出的畅销佳作之一.据说此歌还是暗指john lennon遭暗杀,或许大家从歌词意思和mv内容可以看出点眉目吧!
