今日の「聴き比べ」はちょっと趣向を変えて同名異曲を選んでみました。
『ハートブレイカー(Heartbreaker)』です。
このタイトル曲はかなりな数に上ります。その中でロックに絞って選びました。個人的に気に入っているものだけです。
リリース順にいきます。
まずは1969年8月25日リリースのグランド・ファンク・レイルロード(Grand Funk Railroad)のファースト・アルバム『グランド・ファンク・レイルロード登場 (On Time)』に収録された「ハートブレイカー」です。シングルは1970年になってからでした。この曲は日本でも大ヒットでした。聞き飽きるくらい聴きました。
Heartbreaker
By Mark Farner
Once I had a little girl, sometimes I think about her
Buddy, you know she's not really there
When memories do call and I just can't live without her, no, no
But tryin' all the time is so hard to bear
Heartbreaker, can't take her
Heartbreaker, bringing me down
Heartbreaker, can't take her
Heartbreaker, bringing me down
Now, I don't cry no more, I live while I'm flying
But I'll think back and you can hear me say
Heartbreaker, can't take her
Heartbreaker, bringing me down
Heartbreaker, can't take her
Heartbreaker, bringing me down
Heartbreaker, can't take her
Heartbreaker, bringing me down
Heartbreaker, can't take her
Heartbreaker, bringing me down
Heartbreaker, can't take her
Heartbreaker, bringing me down
Heartbreaker, can't take her
Heartbreaker, bringing me down

そして遅れること2カ月、レッド・ツェッペリン(Led Zepplin)がセカンド・アルバム『LED ZEPPELIN II』に収録しました。これも衝撃でした。
Heartbreaker
By Jimmy Page / Robert Plant / John Paul Jones / John Bonham
Hey fellas, have you heard the news?
You know that Annie's back in town
It won't take long, just watch and see
How the fellas lay their money down
Her style is new, but the face the same
As it was so long ago
But from her eyes, a different smile
Like that of one who knows
Well, it's been ten years or maybe more
Since I first set eyes on you
The best years of my life gone by
Here I am alone and blue
Some people cry and some people die
By the wicked ways of love
But I'll just keep on rolling along
With the grace of the Lord above
People talking all around
About the way you left me flat
I don't care what the people say
I know where their jive is at
One thing I do have on my mind
If you can clarify, please do
It's the way you call me by another guy's name
When I try to make love to you, yeah
I try to make love but it ain't no use
Give it to me, give it
Work so hard I couldn't unwind
Get some money saved
Abuse my love a thousand times
However hard I tried
Heartbreaker; your time has come
Can't take your evil way
Go away, Heartbreaker
Heartbreaker!
Heartbreaker!
Heart!

そして1973年にはフリー(Free)がその名も『Heartbreaker』というアルバムに収録しました。以前にも書きましたが、このアルバムは「忘れ得ぬアルバム」です。私にとっての「ハートブレイカー」はこれです。
Heartbreaker
By Paul Rodgers
Well my maker
Must 've been a hard heartbreaker
I said my maker
Must 've been a hard heartbreaker
I'll tell you why
I'm breaking my own heart
Tryin'....to love a faker
Like a blind man
My little house is on fire
Just like a blind man
My little house is on fire
I'm burning my own eyes out
Tryin'....to reach the door
Well the sun is shining
But it sure don't seem to reach my heart
Well the sun is shining
But it sure don't seem to reach my heart
I'm wasting my whole life
Tryin'.....to make a new start
Make a new start
Make a new start
Make a new start
Make a new start
1979年にはパット・ベネター(Pat Benatar)がデビュー・アルバム『真夜中の恋人達(In The Heat Of The Night)』に収録しました。
Heartbreaker
By Geoff Gill / Cliff Wade
Your love is like a tidal wave, spinning over my head
Drownin' me in your promises, better left unsaid
You're the right kind of sinner to release my inner fantasy
The invincible winner, and you know that you were born to be
You're a heartbreaker, dream maker, love taker
Don't you mess around with me
You're a heartbreaker, dream maker, love taker
Don't you mess around, no, no, no
Your love has set my soul on fire, burnin' out of control
You taught me the ways of desire, now it's takin' its toll
You're the right kind of sinner to release my inner fantasy
The invincible winner and you know that you were born to be
You're a heartbreaker, dream maker, love taker
Don't you mess around with me
You're a heartbreaker, dream maker, love taker
Don't you mess around, no, no, no

You're a heartbreaker, dream maker, love taker
Don't you mess around with me
You're a heartbreaker, dream maker, love taker
Don't you mess around with me
You're a heartbreaker, dream maker, love taker
