电影《死侍》片尾曲是:《Careless Whisper》和《Angel of the Morning》
《Careless Whisper》是英国组合威猛乐队(Wham)的一首歌曲,由乔治·迈克尔演唱,词曲由乔治·迈克尔和安德鲁·瑞吉里谱写,收录在乐队第二张录音室专辑《Make It Big》中,于1984年7月24日由史诗唱片和哥伦比亚唱片共同发行。
1984年9月17日,在《滚石》杂志选出的“1984年最佳100首羡弯歌曲”中,该首歌位居第24位。 1985年2月16日,该首歌在美国公告牌百强单曲榜登顶,并连续了三周,拿下来当年的年终榜冠军。此外,该首歌还拿下了全球24个国家的单曲榜冠军。该首歌的全球销量超过了六百万张。
创作背景:
乔治·迈克尔写下这首歌曲时只有17岁。1980年的一天,在英国芬契列电影院当引座员的乔治·迈克尔在乘坐公共汽车时,脑海里一直盘旋着一个旋律,回到家后,他急忙把它写了下来。歌词描述了一段迟迟不敢表白的暗恋心情。
完整歌曲的时间长达六分半钟,但唱片公司为了打歌宣传而用了另外剪辑约五分钟的版本。虽然《Careless Whisper》获得了各种积极地评论,不过兄祥闷乔治·迈克尔在日后接受记者访问时,他却表示对这首歌曲不是很满意,他觉得写的可以再更好。
歌曲鉴赏:
这首代表1980年代风格的情歌,以萨克斯风宴迟作为开头,乔治·迈克尔以性感成熟的嗓音独唱全曲。歌曲写了一个男子同时爱上了三个女孩。别人在谈论这件事情,他的正式女友知道了这个秘密,结果大家心照不宣,跳最后一个舞,可是他是爱她的。他不敢说话,却在心里唱着歌,交织着悔恨、伤感和表白,但一切已是无可挽回了,沉默中感情正在趋向破裂。你会发现在人的内心,背叛和忠诚竟然是一对共生的本性。
歌词:
Time can never mend
The careless whispers of a good friend
To the heart and mind ignorance is kind
There's no comfort in the truth
Pain is all you'll find
Should've known better
I feel so unsure
As I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor
As the music dies something in your eyes
Calls to mind the silver screen
And all its sad good-byes
I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know your not a fool
Should've known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I've been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you
Time can never mend
The careless whispers of a good friend
To the heart and mind
Ignorance is kind
There's no comfort in the truth
Pain is all you'll find
I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know your not a fool
Should've known better than to cheat a friend
And waste this chance that I've been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you
Never without your love
Tonight the music seems so loud
I wish that we could lose this crowd
Maybe it's better this way
We'd hurt each other with the things we'd want to say
We could have been so good together
We could have lived this dance forever
But noone's gonna dance with me
Please stay
And I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know your not a fool
Should've known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I've been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you
(Now that you're gone) Now that you're gone
(Now that you're gone) What I did's so wrong
That you had to leave me alone

歌词:
Angel of the Morning
There'll be no strings to bind your hands
Not if my love can't bind your heart
And there's no need to take a stand
For it was I who chose to start
I see no need to take me home
I'm old enough to face the dark
Just call me angel of the morning, angel
Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby
Just call me angel of the morning angel, angel
Then slowly turn away
I won't beg you to stay with me
Maybe the sun's light will be dim
And it won't matter anyhow
If morning's echo says we've sinned
Well it was what I wanted now
And we were victims of the night
I won't be blinded by the light
Just call me angel of the morning angel, angel
Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby
Just call me angel of the morning, angel
Then slowly turn away
I won't beg you to stay with me
Through the tears of the day,
Of the years, baby, baby, baby.
Just call me angel of the morning angel, angel
Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby.
