I Remember

April Stevens/A Very Special Time

Century Records (Japan) 1989




I remember how you looked at me
When I used to say the words "I Love You"
Lately I've been really thinking of you
And how you looked at me

I remember how you held me close
All those nights our hearts were set on fire
Lately I've been feeling that desire
For you to hold me close

All my life-I've looked for one like you
All my life-I've held you in my heart
I can't believe it's really over now
You know we don't belong apart

I remember when you said goodbye
I belived you'd come back to me someday
Baby, I'm still hoping you will one day
The way you said goodbye

April Stevens

born Carol LoTempio,
April 29, 1936- (age 75), Niagara Falls, NY

Hey, be comin' on so nice to me
And let you think it ain't so hard to see.
You're not actin' like you know you should
And that's no good. No.

You know you shouldn't look at me that way.
'Cause when you do, you know I wanna stay.
You make me wish my heart was made of wood
And that's no good.
I'm taken and you'd just be fakin' your heart out.
I'm taken and you'd be mistaken to start out.
'Cause I'm not out for love.

I've got somebody who's so good to me.
But if I didn't, I'd be glad to be
The one to live you like nobody could. I could.
But I'm taken and you'd just be fakin' your heart out.
I'm taken and you'd be mistaken to start out.
'Cause I'm not out for love. No.

I'm taken and you'd just be fakin' your heart out.
I'm taken and you'd be mistaken to start out.

Let's make a movie
All about you
And all about me
The story of our lives
Directed by two
Produced for free
We don't need no parts
See, it's written in our hearts, it's our movie

And the music for our movie
Sweet sound of the radio
No ending to our movie
We'll put on quite a show sweet darlin'
Just relax and let the action flow
Just relax...

My life was a movie
I've been searching for you
Through scene after scene
I've been searching all my life
For unfocused love on a busy screen
We don't need no cast
No cameras on our, it's our movie

And the music for our movie
Sweet sound of the radio
No ending to our movie
We'll put on quite a show sweet darlin'
So just relax and let the action flow
Just relax and let the action flow
Just relax and let the action flow

Let it go
(My life was a movie)
Let it go
(Sweet sound of the radio)
Let it go
(No ending to our movie)
Let it go...

Good morning, good afternoon,
And what have you got to say?
Well I’m waiting, but I can’t stay long,
It’s such a lovely day.
There’s a time to be talking
And a time when it’s no use.
Right now I think the things you say
Are liable to confuse.

I’ve just gone solo.
Do you play solo?
Ain’t life a solo?

What a wonderful way to live,
She’s travelling all over the world.
Why, the fame and all the golden
Opportunities unfurled.
No time for the gent with the mulliner bentley
And heaven knows what else.
Why, he wouldn’t even stand a chance
With all his oil-wells.

She just went solo.
Do you play solo?
Ain’t life a solo?

I’ve always lived in a mansion
On the other side of the moon.
I’ve always kept a unicorn
And I never sing out of tune.
I could tell you that the grass is really greener
On the other side of the hill,
But I can’t communicate with you
And I guess I never will.

We’ve all gone solo.
We all play solo.
Ain’t life a solo?

　16歳の時にレイシズムを批判した自作 Society's Child (1967)で世に出た頭でっかちの少女は，やがて容姿コンプレックスを題材としたり，あるいはおそらく容姿コンプレックスを創作活動のバネにしたであろう。

　グラミーの最も栄誉ある大賞 Song of the Year をとった At Seventeen (1975) は，ボサノバのリズムやアレンジで軽快で洗練された曲づくりがされていたけれど，歌詞だけは，重苦しい内容だった。
　それはつまり，彼女がずっと抱き続けていた少女時代の悔しい過去を描写し，自己憐憫に浸っている代物に過ぎなかったのだ。


　16歳のときの 2枚目のアルバムのタイトル曲 For All the Seasons of Your Mind。

　それは，音楽に対する純真......。
　彼女の芸歴中，一服の清涼剤だ。



Waterfalls cascading down a summer wind of golden brown

Leaves are flying in the air and in the sky your tangled hair

Petals wear on moonlit nights, they're all the same on sunbeam lights

Watch the sky as it turns blue. Night is slow to rush on you

A song for all the seasons of your mind

A valanches burying and all the doctors hurrying

Mental institutions and the pain of retribution

All the muddy ponds and dirty sewers 
feed your mind upon a skewer

Put you up and pull you down. Rusty nails turn fingers brown

A song for all the seasons of your mind

Laughter flows among the trees. A golden green hilarity

Your eyes are aching from the sun and though the evening's just begun,

you don't know why you're laughing so. There is no cause for it to show

but just the same, fall to the floor of all the good times you recall

A song for all the seasons of your mind

Running through a blackened dream, waken with a nightmare scream

See your clothing come alive. Earthquakes cause your mind to slide

Try to find where peace is gone. 
Like turning live a rubber swan

Floating down an endless stream, forgetting mental poverty

A song for all the seasons of your mind

Happiness at loving one. Your game of grace for sad eyed swans

and quietly beneath the tree, loving all his mystery

The grass is still, it comes alive. Beneath your naked foot it writhes

Feel the life within you grow like beauty on a newborn rose

A song for all the reasons of your mind

Emptiness at losing him. The memory of all you've been

The grass is sharp to walk upon, the petals black, the trees are gone

Like frightened dogs before the war, 
you dream you search for just one more

As one becomes another one, you wonder where the day has gone

A song for all the seasons of your mind

On the silent evening breeze, knowledge comes so quietly

Clear blue water from above, an avalanche can teach you love

The leaves that swirl about your eyes may wear an unforeseen disguise

But when your clothing comes alive, you can be sure it's you inside

A song for all the seasons of your mind

Keep Your Distance

Richard Thompson/Rumor & Sigh

1991,Capitol


If I cross your path again, who knows where, who knows when
On some morning without number, on some highway without end
Don't grasp my hand and say "Fate has brought you here today"
Oh fate is only fooling with us, friend

Keep your distance, oh keep your distance
When I feel you close to me what can I do but fall
Keep your distance, keep your distance
Ah with us it must be all or none at all

It's a desperate game we play, throw our souls, our lives, away
Wounds that can't be mended and debts that can't be paid
O I played and I got stung now I'm biting back my tongue
I'm sweeping out the footprints where I strayed

Keep your distance, keep your distance
When I feel you close to me what can I do but fall
Keep your distance, oh keep your distance
With us it must be all or none at all

Keep your distance, oh keep your distance
When I feel you close to me what can I do but fall
Keep your distance, oh keep your distance
With us it must be all or none at all
With us it must be all or none at all
With us it must be all or none at all
