Cat’s in the Cradle这首歌不记得自己最早啥时候听过，可能在我精心钻研三百六十五个日出唱法的年代。。。当初觉得除了旋律上口并没有特别之处。。。后来偶尔看了歌词。。当头一棒！！！。。。感想一。。。虽然我对自己的爹各种不满，在我需要他的时候他其实一直都在。。。感想二。。。千万不能让自己的小孩在我葬礼上播这歌词。。。
我不太注意歌词但是偶尔被打动。。。。“And he walked away, but his smile never dimmed。。。。”。。。。谢谢椰风点我爱曲。。。词没念熟嗓子哑后期烂唱个情怀。。。。
Cat's in the Cradle
Artist: Harry Chapin Album: Verities & Balderdash Released: 1974 Awards: Grammy Hall of Fame Genres: Folk music, Soft rock, Folk rock, Pop My child arrived just the other dayHe came to the world in the usual way
But there were planes to catch, and bills to pay
He learned to walk while I was away
And he was talking 'fore I knew it, and as he grew
He'd say "I'm gonna be like you, dad"
"You know I'm gonna be like you" And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man in the moon
"When you coming home, dad?" "I don't know when"
But we'll get together then
You know we'll have a good time then My son turned ten just the other day
He said, thanks for the ball, dad, come on let's play
Can you teach me to throw, I said, not today
I got a lot to do, he said, that's okay
And he walked away, but his smile never dimmed
It said, I'm gonna be like him, yeah
You know I'm gonna be like him And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man in the moon
"When you coming home, dad?" "I don't know when"
But we'll get together then
You know we'll have a good time then Well, he came from college just the other day
So much like a man I just had to say
Son, I'm proud of you, can you sit for a while?
He shook his head, and he said with a smile
What I'd really like, dad, is to borrow the car keys
See you later, can I have them please? And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man in the moon
"When you coming home, son?" "I don't know when"
But we'll get together then, dad
You know we'll have a good time then I've long since retired and my son's moved away
I called him up just the other day
I said, I'd like to see you if you don't mind
He said, I'd love to, dad, if I could find the time
You see, my new job's a hassle, and the kids have the flu
But it's sure nice talking to you, dad
It's been sure nice talking to you
And as I hung up the phone, it occurred to me
He'd grown up just like me
My boy was just like me And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man in the moon
"When you coming home, son?" "I don't know when"
But we'll get together then, dad
We're gonna have a good time then
第一次对父亲节有深刻印象，是n年前某个周日的早上，小孩儿把一块印了她手印的石膏板拍在熟睡的我的头上（从此之后我每次搬家都小心的包装保护好随身带着。。。我的头）。。。第二次对父亲节有深刻印象。。。是n-1年前的某个周日上午，老婆送了我一个咖啡机（从此我每天早上吭呲吭呲的做两杯咖啡兼善后兼定时清洗机器兼搬家时小心的包装保护好随身带着。。。我的钱包）。。第三次对父亲节有深刻印象。。。是n-2年前某个周日的下午小孩儿送了我一纸包沉甸甸的东西。我以为是梦想了多年的高级游戏手柄，打开却看到一块涂了银粉的石头，上书“最好的爹”两个大字。。。害我一人跑后院去烧炭bbq。。。
Cat’s in the Cradle这首歌不记得自己最早啥时候听过，可能在我精心钻研三百六十五个日出唱法的年代。。。当初觉得除了旋律上口并没有特别之处。。。后来偶尔看了歌词。。当头一棒！！！。。。感想一。。。虽然我对自己的爹各种不满，在我需要他的时候他其实一直都在。。。感想二。。。千万不能让自己的小孩在我葬礼上播这歌词。。。
我不太注意歌词但是偶尔被打动。。。。“And he walked away, but his smile never dimmed。。。。”。。。。谢谢椰风点我爱曲。。。词没念熟嗓子哑后期烂唱个情怀。。。。
祝版上现在的与未来的父亲们节日快乐！！。。。兼共勉。。。。
很心仪马哥的小视频数据库！似乎无穷无尽总能找到应景的幽默一把！
英文歌的呼吸里是。。。。煽情啊
咬字发音英文歌的韵律，把握的真好。
我睡眼惺忪地爬起来听了，对她说：你给我分析分析这首歌，具体好在哪儿。（不是说我觉不出好，我是想跟毛毛多学点儿高精尖的鉴赏能力。我自己只能听出，马爷的音色真好啊，特纯，感情特真。）
结果毛毛：我还在床上，没听。。。
我去，我本来不也在床上。。。这家伙，把我忽悠起来，自己还倒着。。。：P
文字非常感人，呼之欲出的好爸爸，好丈夫的暖男形象！歌声也是扑面而来的真挚和纯情！
其实粉你是多简单的事，我不懂毛毛为啥总是杀鸡要用牛刀一般地，好像卖大力丸一般地推销你，不需要啊。。。^^
歌非常好听！马爷父亲节快乐！：PP
早知道。。。。我要好好想想我该想个啥！
我喜欢这个歌，一贯不看歌词的之前都不晓得这个歌唱的啥，现在晓得了
赞最好的爹！：））
上书“最好的爹”两个大字-----我这唐人街没文化的不识数，是两个字吗？
闪瞎了就这效果。。。。
刚有机会重听，最爱副歌的那几句，那几句鼻腔音太好听了：）
歌词感人！
你写的。。。
泪中带笑
我这个...得写点字，...写得不好的地方请愿谅...
我也是从我的孩子手里拿到过“最好的爹”奖的 （smile）...
我才明白......有的人为什么要无中生有的自己殴打自己， 满头鲜血，......很多性别.......说什么 “基友”......作曲家......, 钱，......
我原来想......敢把我惹毛......等我去拿打狗棍......想起这不是中国......狗的定义不一样......算了......
父亲节，还是说点快乐的话：父爱如山。 佩服！
