moments for myself

這歌有故事的... Lori Lieberman 去聽了Don McLean的演唱會,心裡卻是百感交集,後來就和另兩位創作者寫下這首歌,Killing Me Softly With His Song... 周日午後,聽歌吧~

I loved going through my mother's tapes, searching for songs I hadn't heard, of course, lots of them. She had to work out of town in my childhood, so every summer or winter vacation was our time together. I'd like to check on her tapes to see if she'd got more collections, and this one amazed me because there was a story behind it... Lori Lieberman went to Don McLean's concert and came up with these words: 'I felt all flushed with fever / Embarrassed by the crowd / I felt he had found my letters / And read each one out loud / I prayed that he would finish / But he just kept right on' ... What a beautiful story! Then I got to know about Don McLean, and more singers...
