這雨已經斷斷續續地下了快一星期了吧，是誰說今年會有個暖冬的.......

不少人最近可能聽過 Feels Like Home 這首歌，因為它是電影「姊姊的守護者」的插曲，但最近在尋找  Linda Ronstadt 的歌曲時才發現，原來她堪稱是原唱。

這首歌是 Randy Newman 為音樂劇浮士德所創作的歌曲，Linda Ronstadt 曾經參與其原聲帶錄製，但演唱這首歌的是另一位女歌手，之後 Linda Ronstadt 搶先收錄在自己的專輯中，所以說「堪稱」原唱，但我覺得這不重要，是不是唱出獨特的味道才是王道。

聽聽 Linda Ronstadt 溫暖的詮釋

據說這道歌是美國歡熱門的婚禮曲目，箇中原因就在於歌詞：

Feels Like Home

Somethin' in your eyes, makes me wanna lose myself
Makes me wanna lose myself, in your arms
There's somethin' in your voice, makes my heart beat fast
Hope this feeling lasts, the rest of my life

If you knew how lonely my life has been
And how long I've been so alone
And if you knew how I wanted someone to come along
And change my life the way you've done

It feels like home to me, it feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way back where I come from
It feels like home to me, it feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way back where I belong

A window breaks, down a long, dark street
And a siren wails in the night

But I'm alright, 'cause I have you here with me
And I can almost see, through the dark there is light

Well, if you knew how much this moment means to me
And how long I've waited for your touch
And if you knew how happy you are making me
I never thought that I'd love anyone so much

It feels like home to me, it feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way the back where I come from
It feels like home to me, it feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way back where I belong
It feels like I'm all the way back where I belong

很多女歌手翻唱這首歌，但我第一次聽到的卻是男聲版，在 Raul Malo 的 You're only lonely 專輯中，這是一張很耐聽的抒情專輯，有興趣的人可以試聽看看。

在這裡想推薦的是 Raul Malo 與 Martina McBride 的男女對唱版。

 （好奇視訊中出現的是哪一國的文字嗎？答案是越南文，可見這版本不好找吧.....）

在「姊姊的守護者」電影原聲帶中收錄的是愛爾蘭民謠新秀 Edwina Hayes 的版本，她的詮釋比較俏皮輕快一些，感覺不太一樣。

有不少網友在評論時表示比較喜歡 Chantal Kreviazuk 的版本，找來一聽之後，果然我也比較偏愛這位加拿大女歌手的詮釋，或許這位已經結婚生了三個孩子的女人，將幸福娓娓道來的表現更有說服力吧。

在好歌身上真是看不到歲月的痕跡，果然是「經典恒久遠，一首永流傳」，不像「鑽石恒久遠，一顆就破產」...........
