說到James Taylor,
是一種從小到大陪伴我成長的親切,
這並不會透露說我有多老多老的,
因為James橫跨1970~2007年的樂壇,
葛萊美獎五座、奧斯卡最佳原創歌曲等等...
儘管他出很多專輯,儘管他得很多獎,
儘管他是搖滾名人堂肯定的創作才子,
我記得的也就幾首而已,
也可能是這幾首再某個時間下,曾經感動過我,
伴奏簡單,曲風、合聲簡單而溫暖,
名符其實的治療系,尤其在失落的當下,
總會帶給人一點點的暖和。

然而James似乎面臨Bob Dylan的問題,
不過情況相較之下卻輕微了一些,
曾經因為吸毒被送進醫院,
曾經離婚再婚.....
治療系的歌聲似乎只能治療別人,
治療系歌手似乎也等待被治療。

據說多虧有他現任的太太(應該就是第二任),
幫助他脫離毒品,也算是解救治療了James吧?

You've Got A Friend

When you're down and troubled
And you need a helping hand
And nothing, oh, nothing is going right,
Just close your eyes and think of me
And soon I will be there
To brighten even your darkest night

You just call out my name
And, you know, wherever I am
I'll come running
To see you again

Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you've got to do is call
And I'll be there, yeah yes I'll be there
You've got a friend

If the sky high above you
Should grow dark and full of clouds
And that old cold north wind should begin to blow
Just keep your poor head together now
And call my name out loud
Pretty Soon I'll be knocking on your door

You just call out my name
And, you know, wherever I am
I'll come running
To see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you've got to do is call on me now
And I'll be there, yeah yes I'll be there

Well, ain't it good to know that you've got a friend
When people can be so cold
They hurt you yes and desert ya,

Well, they take your soul if you let them,
Yeah, but don't you let them

You just call out my name
And, you know, wherever I am
I'll come running as fast as I can
To see you again
(Oh Yes don't you know 'bout)
Winter, spring, summer or fall
(Baby) All you've got to do is call on me now
I'll be there, yeah yes I'll be there

You've got a friend
You've got yourself a friend in me

You've got a friend in me
Oh You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
Walking, talking. friend
You've got a friend in me
No matter how low you may go sometimes
You've got a friend in me
Its good to know yeah yeah yeah
You've got a friend
