网友点评

在录制《Do Nothing Till You Hear from Me》时,Duke Ellington突发灵感,要求乐队的钢琴手和鼓手进行一段即兴演奏,最终这段即兴成为了歌曲的灵魂所在。有一次,他在录音室内开玩笑,对工作人员说:“这首曲子就像是一场等待爱情的旅程。”结果这句话被巧妙地融入了歌词中,成为了一段佳话。有一次,Ellington在演奏过程中突然停止,对观众说:“这首歌是给你们听的,不是给我听的。”在场所有人都被他的幽默所感染,气氛达到高潮。

歌词

[03:19.00]Do Nothing Till You Hear from Me - Duke Ellington

[03:19.00]Do nothing till you hear from me

[03:19.00]Pay no attention to what's said

[03:19.00]Why people tear the seam of anyone's dream

[03:19.00]Is over my head

[03:19.00]Do nothing till you hear from me

[03:19.00]At least consider our romance

[03:19.00]If you should take the word of others you've heard

[03:19.00]I haven't a chance

[03:19.00]True, I've been seen with someone new

[03:19.00]That does that mean, I've been untrue?

[03:19.00]While we're apart, all the words in my heart

[03:19.00]Reveal how I feel about you

[03:19.00]Some kiss may cloud my memory

[03:19.00]And other arms may hold a thrill

[03:19.00]But please do nothing till you hear it from me

[03:19.00]And you never will!
