Moonlight Shadow 《月光之影》 據(jù)說,這首1983年問世的曲子原是為紀念甲殼蟲樂隊(The Beatles)被槍殺的主唱約翰·列儂(John Lennon)而作。 1980年12月8日,馬克·查普曼偽裝成一個歌迷,在列儂的公寓旁邊徘徊了很久。那天晚上,當列儂從錄音棚返回家中的時候,查普曼請列儂在他的簽字本上簽名。當時他內(nèi)心曾進行過激烈的斗爭,但最后仍然舉起手槍朝著列儂的后背連開了5槍。 和Moonlight Shadow中所寫的“He was shot six times by a man on the run”類似。 但看了原版的MTV之后,這首歌應(yīng)該和John Lennon的被刺并沒有直接聯(lián)系,似乎男主角死于一場決斗中,這倒象是普希金,但不知道普希金的妻子娜達麗亞會不會這樣來懷念他。
這首歌的歌詞曾經(jīng)一直被認為是指約翰·列儂的謀殺案的,然而歌曲中的事件和列儂謀殺案并無關(guān)系。列儂是在晚11點前被射四槍,而歌曲中的時間是凌晨四點,且槍擊數(shù)為六。在1995年的一次采訪中,當被問及《Moonlight Shadow》是否是指代約翰·列儂謀殺案時,歐菲爾德回應(yīng)道:
“并非如此……當然,當我回顧的時候,也許是吧。其實我是在他被槍殺的那個可怕的晚上到達紐約的,我住在維京唱片在佩里街的房子,那兒里事發(fā)的從達科他大廈僅有幾條街的路,所以它可能深埋于我的潛意識當中了。它最初靈感來自于我喜愛的電影——托尼·柯蒂斯主演的《胡迪尼》,這是通過靈媒聯(lián)絡(luò)死去的胡迪尼……歌曲原來的影響本該如此,而這其他影響卻是我未曾想到的。”

The last that ever she saw him
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
He passed on worried and warning
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
Lost in a riddle that Saturday night
Far away on the other side
He was caught in the middle of a desperate fight
And she couldn't find how to push through
?
The trees that whisper in the evening
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
Sing a song of sorrow and grieving
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
All she saw was a silhouette of a gun
Far away on the other side
He was shot six times by a man on the run
And she couldn't find how to push through (模唱部分一)
?
I stay
I pray
I see you in heaven far away
?
I stay
I pray
I see you in heaven one day
?
Four am in the morning
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
I watched your vision forming
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
Stars moved slowing in a silvery night
Far away on the other side
Will you come to talk to me in this night
But she couldn't find how to push through (模唱部分二)
?
I stay
I pray
I see you in heaven far away
?
I stay
I pray
I see you in heaven one day
?
Caught in the middle of a hundred and five
The night was heavy and the air was alive
But she couldn't find how to push through
Far away on the other side.
The night was heavy and the air was alive
But she couldn't find how to push through
she couldn't find how to push through
how to push through
how to push through
