天氣太冷乖乖回家練個爵士～
Clifford Brown - Joy Spring
練爵士曲目陣痛最久的其中一首就是小號手Clifford Brown在1954年以他妻子的小名寫下的這首歡樂轉調代表作”Joy Spring”（感覺婚姻應該充滿樂趣）。
本來是純器樂演奏的曲目，1985年作詞家Jon Hendricks為其填詞，才有了人聲的版本，這類本是器樂曲而後填詞變成歌手也可以唱的爵士經典統稱為Vocalese。
但我唱的詞是瑞典阿卡貝拉天團 The Real Group改的版本，比較好唱⋯
上英文課囉！詞有夠多！

Isn't spring your favorite season
Watchin' the flowers bloomin' up from the ground
Watchin' the snow melt down, boy
You may dig winter, boy, but spring is my joy
It's got me feelin' so glad
The days are breezy
You've got the time to say "hello" and give a smile
Feelin' real good is in style
You may dig winter, boy
But spring is my joy
It's something special
Haven't you observed
It makes glad to be alive
It's not absurd
To say that spring helps you survive
The winter's long miserable snow and rain
It gives you hope to know
That spring will get a refrain
You only have to believe
The day is comin'
The world is hummin'
Thinkin' about how good it will be
And that goes double for me
You may dig winter, boy, but spring is my joy
