陈淑桦 Sarah Chen | Cello 大提琴 1988 (歌曲介绍+中英文歌词）with lyrics

(歌词在字幕里）This is Sarah Chen's 1988 song 'Cello' from her final English album, 'Hold Me Now.' The song was originally performed by Paul Parrish in 1987. The narrative provides background and context for the song. Chen's exquisite vocals, combined with compelling emotions, make this song one of her best English songs.

Chen was in peak form when she released this album, her third of 1988. This was a year before her fame exploded with "Dream to Awakening," sending her to the sky before she plunged into the abyss. During this period, every song she touched turned to gold.

Chen, a hard worker for over a decade, was grateful for the opportunities she had when she moved to Rock Records after structural problems with EMI Studios. Recording three albums in a year was a lot: the two Mandarin albums were all original material, and performing in English was no small feat for a non-native speaker. The workplace relationship seemed complicated. The breakneck pace of her work may have left Chen with no time for anything else or to reflect. In hindsight, this was likely the most vulnerable period of her life and career, a time when additional professional support would have made a big difference.

这是陈淑桦1988年的《Cello》，翻唱自Paul Parrish 1987年的同名歌曲，收录在她最后一张英语专辑《Hold Me Now》中。视频提供了歌曲背景和歌手信息。

当陈淑桦在1988年发行这张专辑时，她正处于巅峰状态。这是她在一年内发行的第三张专辑。这是在《梦醒时分》爆红之前一年，她还没到顶峰，也没掉进低谷。那是她点石成金的时候。

陈淑桦已经努力十来年了。由于EMI录音室的结构问题，她转到滚石唱片，对获得的机会非常珍惜。一年录制三张专辑很不容易：两张国语专辑都是原创材料，而英语演唱对于一个非母语者来说绝非易事。周围的人事关系看来满复杂。她高强度的工作节奏可能让她没有时间深思熟虑，或去料理其他事情。现在看来，这段时间可能是她生活和职业生涯中最脆弱的时侯。她当时若得到更多的职业支持，也许会替她避开很多问题。

Parrish' s original：   • Cello - Parrish & Toppano
