藝人：Dusty Springfield
專輯：Dusty in Memphis
年份：1969
曲名：Windmills Of Your Mind
Springfield 的歌曲中我最愛的就是這首！好聽，真好聽啊！
編曲循序漸進，先低沈，後半段轉為激昂。此曲唱了四 part，前三 part 鼓手只有敲 hi-hat，直到第四 part 才真的打鼓，前三 part 只敲 hi-hat 的效果好迷人。
Springfield 的歌聲也是循序漸進，前兩 part 低沈、輕柔、沙啞，第三 part 開始轉激昂後歌聲變得高亢乾淨，怎麼可以這樣轉換啊，真是充滿魔力的歌聲！

like a circle in a spiral
like a wheel within a wheel
never ending or beginning
on an ever spinning reel
like a snowball down a mountain
or a carnival balloon
like a carousel that's turning
running rings around the moon
like a clock whose hands are sweeping
past the minutes of its face
and the world is like an apple
whirling silently in space
like the circles that you find
in the windmills of your mind!
like a tunnel that you follow
to a tunnel of its own
down a hollow to a cavern
where the sun has never shone,
like a door that keeps revolving
in a half forgotten dream,
or the ripples from a pebble
someone tosses in a stream
like a clock whose hands are sweeping ....
keys that jingle in your pocket
words that jangle in your head
why did summer go so quickly ?
was it something that you said ?
lovers walk along a shore
and leave their footprints in the sand
is the sound of distant drumming
just the fingers of your hand ?
pictures hanging in a hallway
and the fragment of this song
half remembered names and faces
but to whom do they belong ?
he: when you knew
that it was over
you were suddenly aware
that the autumn leaves were turning
to the color
of her hair!
she: when you knew
that it was over
in the autumn of goodbyes
for a moment
you could not recall the color
of his eyes!
like a circle in a spiral
like a wheel within a wheel
never ending or beginning
on an ever spinning reel
as the images unwind
like the circles
that you find
in the windmills of your mind!

要不是經人介紹，還真不知道 Sting 有唱這首歌，很好聽。好像都沒收在他的個人專輯，只有電影原聲帶才有。

各有千秋吧. 看到這帖,想到在Topmuzik有網友分享過Sting的版本, 是我比較喜歡的.
那就增播 Sting 唱的吧。
我小時家裡聽的就是這個版本,不過現在聽來很像跳針.

這陣子電影"冥王星早餐"台灣預告片配上Dusty Springfield演唱的Windmills Of Your Mind強力放送,她演唱的版本真的很好聽.
Noel Harrison有個鼎鼎大名的影帝父親Rex Harrison (以《窈窕淑女》贏得1964年奧斯卡最佳男演員獎)。 他的版本雖然是最早的電影原聲帶， 可是似乎流傳不廣。 我找了好久， 真謝謝Kate分享呢。
