今日の「聴き比べ」はアルバート・ハモンド(Albert Hammond)の『落葉のコンチェルト(For The Peace of All Mankind)』です。
先日紹介した『カリフォルニアの青い空』を歌ったアルバート・ハモンドが日本で人気を得て、１９７３年に日本のみでシングル発売したのがこの『落ち葉のコンチェルト』です。この曲も大ヒットしました。いい曲です。
落葉のコンチェルト(For The Peace of All Mankind)
作詞・作曲: Albert Hammond, Mike Hazlewood
You turned me on
So bad that there was only one thing on my mind
An overnight affair was needed at the time
Hello, goodbye
No searching questions, that was clearly understood
But how was I to know that you would be so good?
For the peace, for the peace
For the peace of all mankind
Will you go away, will you go away?
Will you vanish from my mind?
Will you go away and close the bedroom door
And let everything be as it was before?
Too much too soon
Too bad it didn't hit me till the week had passed
I might have saved the day if I had acted fast
I looked around
In case you'd scribbled down the number secretly
But all you left were fingerprints and memories
For the peace, for the peace
For the peace of all mankind
Will you go away, will you go away?
Will you vanish from my mind?
Will you go away and close the bedroom door
And let everything be as it was before?
For the peace, for the peace
For the peace of all mankind
Will you go away, will you go away?
Will you vanish from my mind?
Will you go away and close the bedroom door
And let everything be as it was before?

Will you vanish from my mind?
Will you go away and close the bedroom door?
