こんなことが出来るようになった!
1978年から翌年にかけてUniversity of California Santa Barbara (UCSB)で学ぶ機会を得ました。青色ダイオードだかで有名な中村修二先生がおられる学校です。その頃気に入って毎日のように聴いていた曲がありました。歌詞がなかなか聴き取れず、誰のどんなメッセージの曲か分からないままに約30年が過ぎ、たった一箇所聴き取れた"Never seen such a beautiful sight"を手掛かりに曲に辿り付きましたKenny Logginsの"Whenever I Call You Friend"という曲にです。詞はこのようなものでした!回り道したけど、やっぱり辿り付いて良かった。Whenever I Call You FriendDuet with Stevie nicksWhenever I call you "friend" I begin to think I understandAnywhere we are you and I have always been ever and everI see myself within your eyes and that's all I need to show me whyEverything I do always takes me home to you (ever and ever)And now I know my life has given memore than memoriesday by day, we can seeIn every moment there's a reason to carry on(chorus)Sweet love's showin' us a heavenly lightNever seen such a beautiful sightSweet love flowin' on us every night I know forever we'll be doin' it rightWhenever I call you "friend" I believe I've come to understandEverywhere we are you and I were meant to be forever and everI think about the times to come knowin' I will be the lucky oneAnd ever our love will last I always want to call you "friend"(chorus)(instrumental)And now I know my life has given me more than memories Day by day, we can see in every moment there's a reason to carry on(chorus 2x) doin' it, doin' it, doin' itSweet love, sweet love, yeahYou're the glowin' light in my life, source of pride in my lifeEverything I do takes me back to you whenever I call you friend曲も聴いて見て下さい。Kenny Loggins at Grand Canyon
