卡朋特乐队（Carpenters）及其经典歌词赏析

卡朋特乐队（Carpenters）是美国1970年代和1980年代初的演唱组合，主

要由卡朋特兄妹组成，在整个1970年代风靡一时。卡朋特兄妹于1965年开始组

织乐队，1969年11月15日，卡朋特乐队的单曲《ClotoYou》（靠近你）一举

走红，其后，他们在整个1970年代大获成功。《YesterdayOnceMore》（昨日重

现）、《TopoftheWorld》（世界之颠）、《n》（请等一下，邮差先

生）等歌曲广为人知。1983年2月4日，卡伦·卡朋特因长期严重神经性厌食症

而突然去世，卡朋特乐队随之告终。

乐队简介

木匠兄妹由著名的歌星卡朋特与她哥哥理查德·卡朋特组成，生于美国康耐

狄格州，Richard出生于1946年10月15日，妹妹Karen则是出生于1950年3

月2日。1970年一曲《靠近你》(CloToYou)荣登排行榜首，这使木匠兄妹一

炮走红，70年代中他们不断有佳作问世。

令人惋惜的是卡伦·卡朋特年仅32岁便过早地离去。她死于神经性厌食症。这

是由于她为了保持身材的苗条，长期服用轻泻剂，与长期节食的严重后果。1983

年2月4日她死于深爱她的父母怀中。卡伦·卡朋特嗓音优美，演唱亲切自然，

略带伤感，加之他们运用了多轨录音技术，因此他们的唱片无论在艺术上或技术

上都非常成功，是当代流行音乐的精品。

在她已离开我们的这20年里，卡伦的歌声曾陪伴多少失意于爱的人度过了多

少阴雨连绵的日子，谁也没算过。这样与其说是悲哀，不如说安静地唱着：

“就像在一艘无处可去的船上航行着，爱情接收了我的心，就像海洋上吹过的

一阵微风。

当海鸥高飞时，我知道我正在迷失，爱情随着漂流的潮汐一起被冲走了。你从

爱情中得到的一切就是一首爱情歌曲，因为最好的爱情歌曲是用一颗破碎的心写

成的。”

Richard因为TheCarpenters一炮而红而闻名世界。当Karen可以同时一边打

鼓一边唱歌时，Richard便退居幕后，他对于整个乐团的成功功不可没。他是幕

后合音，也是位钢琴家，他更写出了不少动听的歌曲，例如YesterdayOnceMore

和TopOfTheWorld。

成名之后，Richard又整理了一些没有被A&M公司所发行的歌曲来组成了一

张专辑，他所选的歌曲全进了TOP40。例如We'veonlyjustbegun、Forallweknow、

RainydaysandMondays等等。

Richard的直觉为TheCarpenters带来了令人吃惊的20首TOP40曲子(其中更

有12首进入TOP10)，像是SuperStar、RainydaysandMondays、We'veonlyjust

begun、Sing、Topoftheworld、Onlyyesterday和YesterdayOnceMore。除了这

些黑马外，Richard的天份还不只这些，他知道要如何巧妙的将乐器和歌声结合

在一起。因为这样的功力，使他四度被提名为葛莱美奖"最佳制作人。The

Carpenters的作品曾被大学拿来作为教材，其中包括了史丹福大学，1997年

Richard曾受邀到史丹福大学演讲。

整个70年代，该演唱组推出了多首风靡世界的单曲和唱片其中包括《与爱

情告别》（GoodbyetoLove,1972）和《世界之巅》（TopoftheWorld,1973），这两

首歌都是理查德和他的歌曲创作伙伴约翰．贝蒂斯（JohnBettis）共同创作的。

演唱组的热门歌曲还有列农和麦卡特尼的作品《车票》（TickettoRide,1970）、邦

尼·布拉姆莱特（BonnieBramlett）和利昂．拉塞尔（LEONRUSSELL）的作品

《超级明星》（Superstar,1971）、布赖恩．霍兰（BrianHolland）的作品《求求你，

邮差先生》（PleaMrPostman,1974）以及汉克．威廉斯（HANKWILLIAMS）

的作品《什锦菜》（Jambalaya,1974）。《昔日重来》（YesterdayOnceMore）是概

念唱片《现在与过去》（NowandThen，1973）中的一首经典曲目。1980年他们

出版了《跳舞时抚摸我》（TouchMewhenWe’reDancing）。
