知名網站Mademan.com嚴選，史上最棒的10首piano ballads：（大部份都有搭配其他樂器，但主要還是以鋼琴為基底。） John Lennon - Imagine http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLgYAHHkPFs

Lennon's vision of world peace is as beautiful now as it was when it was first released in 1971. It was ranked number three by Rolling Stone in its "500 Greatest Songs of all Time." 約翰藍儂對「世界和平」的想像，現在聽來依舊如同它1971年發行時一樣美麗。這首歌被滾石雜誌評選為「史上五百大好歌」第三名。 Billy Joel - Vienna http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZdiXvDU4P0

"Vienna" was the B side to Joel's hit "She's Always A Woman." Even though it is one of his lesser known songs, Joel has admitted it is one of his favorites. This song is a great reminder to slow down and enjoy life to its fullest. "Vienna"收錄在比利喬的熱門單曲"She's Always A Woman"B面，就算鮮為人知，比利喬卻坦承"Vienna"是他的最愛之一。這首歌提醒人們放慢腳步、充分享受人生。 Bette Midler - The Rose http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oR6okRuOLc8

This song is so achingly simple and hauntingly beautiful and offers one of the most important lessons in life-we all have a rose hidden some- where within us. 這首歌極簡卻又美麗地令人難忘，而且它教會我們重要的一課：每個人心中都藏著一朵玫瑰。 Billy Joel - Piano Man http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gxEPV4kolz0

Probably the best known-and most loved-song by Billy Joel, "Piano Man" is the autobiographical tale of Joel's time playing piano in a bar and the supporting cast of characters in his life at the time. "Piano Man"的歌詞如同自傳一般地描寫了比利喬在酒吧彈琴的那段時光，以及當時從旁協助的友人們。這大概是他最為人知、也最受大眾喜愛的一首歌。 Elton John - Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3nScN89Klo

This tale of unrequited love is one of John's most overlooked ballads, often taking a place behind "Your Song," "Tiny Dancer" and "Candle in the Wind." It has been covered by numerous other artists, ranging from country to R&B. 這是一首描寫「不求回報的愛」的究極情歌，光采卻常被艾爾頓強自己的"Your Song"、"Tiny Dancer"、和"Candle in the Wind"等歌曲掩蓋，是他最常被忽略的作品之一。這首歌曾被無數歌手翻唱過，編曲形式涵蓋鄉村到節奏藍調都有。 Sarah McLachlan - I Will Remember You http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSz16ngdsG0

This stunning song was a Grammy winner for McLachlan in 1999. 莎拉克勞克蘭99年以這首令人驚嘆的好歌奪下葛萊美「最佳流行女歌手」大獎。 Cinderella - Don't Know What You Got Til It's Gone http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i28UEoLXVFQ

While 80's glam bands were known more for their big hair and bigger guitar riffs, Cinderella's power ballad, "Don't Know What You Got Til It's Gone," showcased a softer, more melodic side as lead singer Tom Keiffer tickled the ivories. 八零年代的華麗搖滾，向來以樂手的蓬鬆髮型和大量的吉他即興聞名。然而 Cinderella的主唱卻選擇在這首"Don't Know What You Got Til It's Gone"當中撥弄白鍵，展現了較為柔軟、具旋律性的一面。 Guns and Roses - November Rain http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8SbUC-UaAxE

Many feel that this ballad is Guns and Roses at its finest. Axle's piano playing skills may play second fiddle to Slash's soaring guitar solo, but the song wouldn't be the same without it. 許多樂迷認定"November Rain"是槍與玫瑰樂團的顛峰之作。Axle的鋼琴演奏技巧雖然略遜於Slash神乎其技的吉他獨奏，這首歌卻因為如此才得以完整。 Ben Folds Five - Brick http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wt5EHAqhR1c

Ben Folds is known for his phenomenal piano playing skills, and he certainly does not disappoint in "Brick," the band's most widely circulated song. Ben Folds以超凡的鋼琴演奏技巧聞名，這首歌的表現同樣沒讓歌迷失望。這是他們最廣為人知的作品。 Bruce Hornsby and the Range - The Way It Is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOeKidp-iWo

Hornsby's first release and biggest hit was in part inspired by the Civil Rights movement. 這團的出道作同時也是他們最暢銷的歌曲，其中某部份受到民權運動的啟發。這個網站選的都是2010年以前的piano ballad，所以像這幾年最紅的Someone Like You就沒在名單當中，不過Someone Like You感覺也不像是這個網站會推薦的類型就是了。說到piano ballad，怎麼可以不推薦火星人的新歌！！！ Bruno Mars - When I Was Your Man http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekzHIouo8Q4

其實這首聽起來感覺也很像強叔的抱歉太難耶？每次副歌都很想接It's a sad, sad situation >< -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 36.231.46.179 ※ 編輯: georgio 來自: 36.231.46.179 (02/17 03:34)
