Keep Yourself Alive 专辑：Queen(1973) 作曲：Brian May 类别：Rock 长度：3:45 Freddie:"a very good way of telling people what Queen was about in those days" 根据 Queen: The Early Years 一书作者的说法，"Keep Yourself Alive"这首歌在1970完 成时是由木吉他开头的(对了，当时的团员只有吉他手 Brian May,主唱 Freddie Mercury 和鼓手 Roger Taylor) Brian另外还说了这首歌本来是要带有讽刺和开玩笑的味道，不过被Freddie唱过後就完全 改变了(是说太帅吗XD?) 第一版本的"Keep Yourself Alive"是在1971年的De Lane Lea录音室完成的，前奏是木吉 他演奏，中间还多了一段Queen专辑没有的电吉他solo，歌词也有小小的不同。虽然这个版 本的品质没有後来得好，不过依然是Brian的最爱。 我们最常听到的Queen专辑版本则是由Mike Stone混音、三叉戟录音室录制的。"two steps nearer to my grave"这段歌词则是从Roger变成Brian来唱。(难得听到Brian这麽痞的声 音) 第三版比较少见，1975年录制的"Long-Lost Retake"版本，一开始是要当作美版的单曲， 不过最後还是用了Queen专辑版本。和第二版不同处在於更多层次的合声跟电吉他配音(虽 然我完全听不出来...)。 De Lane Lea版 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1ykD1kbIb4 Queen专辑版(重点-Roger的小背心) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JofwEB9g1zg Long-Lost Retake版 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNYqE5dKqF0 歌词(Queen专辑版) I was told a million times Of all the troubles in my way How I had to keep on trying Little better ev'ry day But if I crossed a million rivers And I rode a million miles Then I'd still be where I started Bread and butter for a smile Well I sold a million mirrors In a shop in Alley Way But I never saw my face In any window any day Well they say your folks are telling you To be a super star But I tell you just be satisfied To stay right where you are Keep yourself alive keep yourself alive It'll take you all your time and a money Honey you'll survive Well I've loved a million women In a belladonic haze And I ate a million dinners Brought to me on silver trays Give me ev'rything I need To feed my body and my soul And I'll grow a little bigger Maybe that can be my goal I was told a million times Of all the people in my way How I had to keep on trying And get better ev'ry day But if I crossed a million rivers And I rode a million miles Then I'd still be where I started Still be where I started Keep yourself alive keep yourself alive It'll take you all your time and money honey You'll survive Keep yourself alive Keep yourself alive It'll take you all your time and money To keep me satisfied Do you think you're better ev'ry day No I just think I'm two steps nearer to my grave Keep yourself alive Keep yourself alive mm You take your time and take your money Keep yourself alive Keep yourself alive Keep yourself alive All you people keep yourself alive Keep yourself alive Keep yourself alive It'll take you all your time and a money To keep me satisfied Keep yourself alive Keep yourself alive All you people keep yourself alive Take you all your time and money honey You will survive Keep you satisfied Keep you satisfied --
