创作背景:
YESTERDAY ONCE MORE是一首追怀旧情的感伤之作。经历过一系列失恋打击、身处孤独之中的歌手原本是收音机的忠实听众,常常跟随电波中的一曲曲情歌吟唱。后来,陷入爱河的她不再有闲暇去收听音乐广播了,与收音机渐渐疏远。
而今,为情所伤、心如死灰的她再度拧开收音机,熟悉的旋律重新响起,一声声、一曲曲仿佛正讲述着自己的身世。时光流逝,情感变迁,但那一首首曾如旧友长伴身侧的老歌,却忠诚如初,永远不会背叛自己。
温馨中夹杂苦痛,慰籍之余更添伤感:难道人尚不如歌?多情易伤、多愁善感的她多么盼望昨日随旧曲重现,鸳梦重温。
《Yesterday Once More》(译名:昨日重现)是二十世纪七十年代欧美经典的英文歌曲之一。始创于1973年,曾被无数个歌手翻唱过。曾入围奥斯卡百年金曲。理查德·卡朋特和约翰·贝迪斯为回应七十年代早期的怀旧风创作了这首歌曲。
这首夺金单曲在美国和英国两地都取得亚军的成绩。现在这首歌已成为永恒畅销单曲之一。
