今天推荐的是一首70年代乡村民谣。
南京已经入秋，按道理来讲应该是秋高气爽好郊游的天气，但是事实却是逼哥的那句，“南京的这个D雨下个不停”。坐在办公室百无聊赖，只能来一首轻快的《It Never Rains in Southern California》来缓解下烦躁的心。
这首歌由Albert Hammond所作，一经发行就进入过美国音乐榜前五名，也是《阿甘正传》的插曲。许多歌手都曾翻唱过这首歌，我最喜欢的是Barry Manilow版本的，在这烦躁的下雨的工作日瞬间就把人回了七十年代的加州海岸，放飞一下自我。
等你真的去南加州你就会发现那里虽然从不阴天，但是有倾盆大雨。明明歌词里的是惆怅万千和百般无奈，但是曲调却十分轻快。真是写歌的人假正经，听歌的人最无情。
Got on board a westbound seven forty-seven
Didn’t think before deciding what to do
Ooh, that talk of opportunities, TV breaks and movies
Rang true, sure rang true …
Seems it never rains in southern California
Seems I’ve often heard that kind of talk beforeIt never rains in California, but girl,
don’t they warn ya?
It pours, man, it pours
I’m out of work, I’m out of my head
Out of self respect, I’m out of bread
I’m underloved, I’m underfed, I wanna go home
It never rains in California, but girl, don’t they warn ya?
It pours, man, it poursWill you tell the folks back home I nearly made it?Had offers but
didn’t know which one to take
Please don’t tell them how you found me
Don’t tell ‘em how you found me
Give me a break, give me a break
Seems it never rains in southern California
Seems I’ve often heard that kind of talk before
It never rains in California, but girl, don’t they warn ya?
It pours, man, it pour
