网友点评

在录制《The Sunny Side of the Street》时,Duke Ellington突发奇想,邀请当时年仅14岁的钢琴天才Thelonious Monk临时加入。Monk即兴演奏的一段即兴旋律,意外成为歌曲的点睛之笔。Ellington对Monk的才华惊叹不已,两人从此结下深厚友谊。录音过程中,乐队成员们围坐在暖阳照耀的录音棚内,欢声笑语中完成了这首经典的爵士乐佳作。据说,Ellington曾在一次采访中感慨:“这首歌就像阳光一样,照亮了我们的心房。”

歌词

[00:03.60]Get your hat and get your coat

[00:30.19]Leave your worries on your doorstep

[00:44.90]Just direct your feet

[01:08.81]To the sunny side of the street

[01:21.59]Don't you hear that pitter pat

[01:34.79]And that happy tune is your step

[01:45.43]Life can be so sweet

[02:09.11]On the sunny side of the street

[02:19.65]I used to walk in the shade

[02:24.55]With those blues on parade

[02:28.68]Now I'm not afraid

[02:41.72]I'm not afraid

[02:49.80]I'm not afraid

[03:10.71]This rover

[03:25.36]Oh this rover passed over

[03:32.97]And if I never have a cent

[03:35.15]I'll be rich like Rockefeller

[03:42.84]Gold dust at my feet

[03:47.50]On the sunny side of the street
