《昨日重现》(Yesterday Once More)是卡朋特乐队演唱的歌曲,始创于1973年。理查德·卡朋特和约翰·贝迪斯为回应七十年代早期的怀旧风创作了这首歌曲。
歌曲曾入围奥斯卡百年金曲,在美国Billboard榜单和英国流行音乐排行榜上都得亚军的成绩,名列1973年的国际公信榜单曲排行榜和美国Billboard Easy Listening第一位,现在这首歌已成为永恒畅销单曲之一。
如果要选人生第一首打动我们的英文歌,卡朋特乐队(Carpenters)演唱的《昨日重现》(Yesterday Once More)应该名列其中。
《昨日重现》这首歌曲讲述一个沉迷爱恋的女人,在遭受恋情失败后,回忆起往日美好时光,坐在收音机前面聆听情歌。如今,情歌旋律不变,但爱人一去不返,不禁思想:难道音乐比爱人更能持久安慰人心?
卡伦·卡朋特演唱这首歌,好像娓娓道来自己的故事,并不十分伤感,但又充满淡淡忧伤情绪,加上怀旧风格的旋律,令人陷入歌中所营造昔日美好气氛里,沉醉不已。从1973年到今天,《昨日重现》已经成为全世界最经典的英文金曲之一。
