聽歌學英文:至純至美的真摯友情
除了親情、愛情之外,友情也是很寶貴的。患難之中,我們需要朋友幫助、支持和鼓勵。愉悅時,我們也需要朋友分享快樂,友情就如《Seasons in The Sun》一樣令人愉悅。建立友誼之後,要通過言語和行動來珍惜友誼,像愛護寶物一樣愛惜友誼,讓神聖的友情之燈照亮我們的一生,讓我們成為《Forever Friends》,唱出對朋友的感謝之情《Thank You for Being A Friend》,或者承諾《Anytime You Need a Friend》。
生於1938年7月4日的Bill Withers是美國著名的歌手以及作曲家。他在美國的靈歌音樂史上算不上是一個創建性的人物, 但是在70年代末到80年代初的那段時間裡, 他無疑是光彩奪目的。這首《Lean On Me》是Bill Withers非常著名的一首歌曲。我們都需要有個人來依靠,新活跳躍的靈歌風韻加上親切充滿內在剛性的味道,讓聽這首歌有一種獨特而享受的感覺。
