The first time ever I saw your face by Ewan McColl
The first time ever I saw your face I thought the sun rose in your eyes And the moon and stars were the gifts you gave To the dark and the endless skies To the dark and the empty skies The first time ever I kissed your mouth I felt the earth move in my hand Like the trembling heart of a captive bird That was there at my command, my love That was there at my command The first time ever I lay with you And felt your heart so close to mine And I knew our joy would fill the earth And last 'till the end of time, my love And it would last 'till the end of time, my love The first time ever I saw your face Your face your face your face
1971年美国电影《迷雾追魂》中著名的插曲,《迷》中讲述一名夜间节目电台男主持在与女友发生矛盾时,与一位女崇拜者发生了关系。一夜情之后,男主持很快忘记一切重新投入原来的生活,而这位女崇拜者却无法走出感情的泥沼,并对男主持死死纠缠甚至发展成谋杀。另,本片被定义为一部恐怖电影想看的朋友慎重了。影片中这首由Robert Flack演唱的《The first time ever I saw your face》从此走红,Robert Flack也因为此曲初涉格莱美。至今已有Roberta Flack、George Michael、Celine Dion翻唱过此曲,而默默无闻的则是Ewan MacColl的原唱版本。
