八爪的芭樂──〈All Time High〉by Rita Coolidge

說到007的主題曲，名作不少，其中我很喜歡但比較少人知道的，是1983年《Octopussy》（台譯：八爪女） 的主題曲〈All Time High〉 ，由Tim Rice作詞、John Barry譜曲，兩個都是大咖，果然合作出佳作。這首歌由Rita Coolidge演唱，1969年就出道的她，雖然作品不少，也都滿好聽的，但一直沒真正大紅大紫，這是她唯二的成人抒情榜冠軍曲（另一首是更芭樂的〈We’re All Alone〉）。

 

 

這首歌實在是非常80年代，相信五年級同學一定一聽就會愛上。不過電影，老實講，我一點印象也沒有啊！

 

歌詞

All I wanted was a sweet distraction for an hour or two
Had no intention to do the things we’ve done
Funny how it always goes with love, when you don’t look, you find
But then we’re two of a kind, we move as one
We’re an all time high, we’ll change all that’s gone before
Doing so much more than falling in love
On an all time high, we’ll take on the world and wait
So hold on tight, let the flight begin
I don’t want to waste a waking moment, I don’t want to sleep
I’m in so strong and so deep and so are you
In my time I’ve said these words before, but now I realize
My heart was telling me lies, for you they’re true
We’re an all time high, we’ll change all that’s gone before
Doing so much more than falling in love
On an all time high, we’ll take on the world and wait
So hold on tight, let the flight begin
So hold on tight, let the flight begin
We’re an all time high
