这是“恐怖海峡”的一首名曲《romeo and juliet》。内容是什么我听不懂。

我听恐怖海峡比较晚，首先听的是《Sultans of Swing》，马上就被吸引住了，尤其是主唱Mark Knopfler那个沙哑的嗓子。我觉得他们乐队的音乐里有一种轻松的气氛，而不象其他乐队那样过于紧张，这是我喜欢的。但是主唱Mark Knopfler的天分似乎有减弱的倾向，这对於这种“单天才”的乐队是可怕的。

随着我的兴趣从摇滚转到爵士，恐怖海峡也渐渐的离开了我的视野，现在之保留了一盘精选开车的时候听。

外语？

听不懂

不过不懂有不懂的好处，可以自己幻想内容。

没有困难创造困难也要上

曾经非常爱听他们的《Heavy Fuel》、《You and your Friend》、《Money for Nothing》等等。

据说这支乐队也是戴安娜王妃的最爱。

A lovestruck romeo sings a streetsus serenade

Laying everybody low with me a lovesong that he made

Finds a convenient streetlight steps out of the shade

Says something like you and me babe how about it ?

Juliet says hey its romeo you nearly gimme a heart attack

Hes underneath the window shes singing hey la my boyfriends back

You shouldnt come around here singing up at people like that

Anyway what you gonna do about it ?

Juliet the dice were loaded from the start

And I bet and you exploded in my heart

And I forget the movie song

When you wanna realise it was just that the time was wrong juliet ?

Come up on differents streets they both were streets of shame

Both dirty both mean yes and the dream was just the same

And I dreamed your dream for you and your dream is real

How can you look at me as if I was just another one of your deals ?

Where you can fall for chains of silver you can fall for chains of gold

You can fall for pretty strangers and the promises they hold

You promised me everything you promised me think and thin

Now you just says oh romeo yeah you know I used to have a scene with him

Juliet when we made love you used to cry

You said I love you like the stars above Ill love you till I die

Theres a place for us you know the movie song

When you gonna realise it was just that the time was wrong juliet ?

I cant do the talk like they talk on tv

And I cant do a love song like the way its meant to be

I cant do everything but Id do anything for you

I cant do anything except be in love with you

And all I do is miss you and the way we used to be

All do is keep the beat and bad company

All I do is kiss you through the bars of a rhyme

Julie Id do the stars with you any time

Juliet when we made love you used to cry

You said I love you like the stars above Ill love you till I die

Theres a place for us you know the movie song

When you gonna realise it was just that the time was wrong juliet ?

A lovestruck romeo sings a streetsus serenade

Laying everybody low with me a lovesong that he made

Finds a convenient streetlight steps out of the shade

Says something like you and me babe how about it ?

(found from wikipedia)

The lyrics of the song comprise a description of a conversation between the two lovers of the title. In addition to the obvious reference to William Shakespeare's play of the same title, the song makes playful allusion to other works involving young love, including the songs "My Boyfriend's Back" and "Somewhere" from <West Side Story>.

This song was inspired by Mark Knopfler's broken romance with Holly Vincent, who was the leader of the band Holly And The Italians. Some of the lyrics indicate that Knopfler felt she used him to boost her career.

The line "Now you just say, oh Romeo, yeah, you know I used to have a scene with him," came from an interview where Holly Vincent was quoted as saying: "What happened was that I had a scene with Mark Knopfler and it got to the point where he couldn't handle it and we split up."

还是从老师那儿借的CD

我很喜欢他们的.

我自己觉得Dire Straits听的就是听Mark Knopfler的吉他.感觉,首先这是一只吉他乐队,然后才是一直摇滚乐队.他自己作为吉他的成就明显高于作为主唱.他的吉他音色很特别,很舒服,总让我想起夏末黄昏时金色的夕阳.

还有,他还为很多电影作为配乐,一听就有他的味道.
