Comments:
The mandarin version of this song was the 1st song recorded.
这首歌最先录制的是国语版《好久不见》。
Salsa Chen was passing by Hong Kong and actually went into studio to help take Eason's vocals.
陈小霞路过香港顺便到录音棚帮Eason负责人声。
However we weren't satisfied - cos the song requires a lot more emotions and feelings that, at the time Eason did not deliver enough.
但我们都不满意Eason当时的唱法。因为这首歌需要很多表情与感情,当时Eason还做得不够。
I always felt that this song sounds very 'Leslie" style - and when we did the Cantonese version, I asked Eason to try once to imitate Leslie! We all actually liked this version best, cos somehow when he imitated 'Goh Goh', he even brought along some feelings that Leslie used to deliver.
我总觉得这首歌听起来很“张国荣”——而且当我们录制粤语版时,我问Eason能不能试试模仿张国荣!我们其实最喜欢的是这个版本。因为在Eason学哥哥唱法时,他把张国荣的感觉也体现得很到位。
However, of course we could not use this version as the final, cos then people will say he tried to copy or imitate Leslie.
Eason kept re-singing this and eventually got a little upset with me, cos I still said the emotions' not good enough.
然而我们不能把这个版本作为最后成品,因为人们就会说他在模仿张国荣。Eason一遍又一遍地唱,最后甚至有点烦我,因为我总是在说:“你的表情不够。”
But after many sessions, in the end he delivered a take that I think is very touching - and this is the one that got on the CD.
The song is not difficult to sing, especially for Eason. But because it requires a lot of feelings, moods, emotions, it makes it very difficult. And we think at the end Eason did a very god job.
但在很多次工程之后,终于他唱出了一种感觉,我认为十分感人——这就是CD的正式版本。这首歌不难唱,尤其对Eason而言。但因为需要很多感觉、情绪、表情,加大了这首歌的难度。我们最后都认为Eason做得非常不错。
