歌词选评 - Tell Laura I Love Her ( Ray Peterson )
歌词选评 - Tell Laura I Love Her ( Ray Peterson )
Laura and Tommy were lovers
He wanted to give her everything
Flowers, presents,
But most of all, a wedding ring
He saw a sign for a stock car race
A thousand dollar prize it read
He couldn't get Laura on the phone
So to her mother, Tommy said
Tell Laura I love her
Tell Laura I need her
Tell Laura I may be late
I've something to do, that cannot wait
He drove his car to the racing grounds
He was the youngest driver there
The crowed roared as they started the race
Around the track they drove at a deadly pace
No one knows what happened that day
Or how his car overturned in flames
But as they pulled him from the twisted wreck
With his dying breath, they heard him say
Tell Laura I love her
Tell Laura I need her
Tell Laura not to cry
My love for her will never die
Now in the chapel where Laura prays
For her poor Tommy, who passed away
It was just for Laura he lived and died
Alone in the chapel she can hear him cry
Tell Laura I love her
Tell Laura I need her
Tell Laura not to cry
My love for her will never die
Tell Laura I love her
Tell Laura I need her
Tell Laura not to cry
My love for her will never die
魏鹏展评:这是少有的叙事式歌词,主题是表达男主角对女朋友无限量的爱。作者的写作技巧主要透过男主角正面的性格,又安排一个悲惨的结局,这可引起读者同情;而且临死前,他还要处处为女友着想,更是引人下泪,又把这些内容反复几次,有一唱三叹,深化主题的作用。这种写主人翁善良性格,又写他悲惨的结局,是常见的戏剧手法。
