有网友留言叫Jared像以前那样推荐一些单曲，组成YueCool Greatest Hits，其实Jared这是一直期望的，没有想到上张YueCool精选这么受欢迎，呵呵~

好的从明天开始，Jared会开始准备YueCool Greatest Hits 02。

Happycat0103,实在对不住，你的歌，我明天给你找。

这两天也没有听什么新歌，还是一些以前没有听过的老歌，还有不少是中文歌慢歌，也许是天气实在太热，没有精力去尝试一些比较HIGH点的音乐吧。

最近张悬的歌就不多介绍了，基本上天天听，还有一首天天听的是《Grandfather’s clock》，这首老歌美国126年前的儿歌不知道有多少歌手唱过了

儿歌版本：[coolplayer width="250" height="50" autoplay="0" loop="0" charset="utf-8" download="0" mediatype=""]
Grandfather’s clock

比较出名的还应该有Johnny Cash的版本吧，试听在这里：http://www.tinging.com/MusicPlay/4796/f8cdf42ffef01ddd.html

不过个人还是比较平井坚这个本版，其实一直都不怎么听日语歌，对日本鬼子歌手也一点不熟悉，不过这个人貌似还不错，很多歌都很好听，虽然有些是翻唱。

来听听这个版本吧：

My grandfather’s clock
Was too large for the shelf
So it stood ninety years on the floor
It was taller by half
Than the old man himself
Though it weighed not a pennyweight
more

It was bought on the morn
Of the day that he was born
And was always his treasure and pride
But it stopped short
Never to go again
When the old man died

Ninety years without slumbering
Tick, tock, tick, tock
His life seconds numbering
Tick, tock, tick, tock
It stopped short
Never to go again
When the old man died

It watching its pendulum
Swing to and fro
Many hours had he spent while a boy
And in childhood and manhood
The clock seemed to know
And to share both his grief and his joy

For it struck twenty-four
When he entered at the door
With a blooming and beautiful bride
But it stopped short
Never to go again
When the old man died

For it struck twenty-four
When he entered at the door
With a blooming and beautiful bride
But it stopped short
Never to go again
When the old man died

It rang an alarm
In the dead of the night
An alarm that for years had been dumb
And we knew that his spirit
Was pluming for flight
That his hour of departure had come

Still the clock kept the time
With a soft and muffled chime
As we silently stood by his side
But it stopped short
Never to go again
When the old man died

Ninety years without slumbering
Tick, tock, tick, tock
His life seconds numbering
Tick, tock, tick, tock
It stopped short
Never to go again
When the old man died
It stopped short
Never to go again
When the old man died
