Arthur's Theme (Best That You Can Do)

Christopher Cross

#Felis Piano #mtm vocal Words & Music by Burt Bacharach, Christopher Cross, Carole Bayer Sager, Peter Allen 〜The line in the chorus "When you get caught between the moon and New York City" was taken from an unreleased song written by Allen and Bayer Sager.Allen came up with the line while his plane was in a holding pattern during a night arrival at John F. Kennedy International Airport.(wikipedia) Holding patternとは、天候が悪い、空港が混雑しているなどして到着機をすぐに降ろせない時に、管制官が空港近くの決められた上空で、到着機をぐるぐる旋回させながら順番が来るまで待機させるための経路のこと。交通流をコントロールするようになった近年はあまり待たされなくなったでしょうか。イライラさせられる待ち時間にこの様な素敵な曲ができるなら、待たされるのも悪くない？？ 聴き返したところ、歌詞を違えて歌っている箇所ありました。パソコンで参照した動画が間違えていたよう… おしゃれなピアノはFelisさんによるものです。いつも素晴らしいですね。 以下はFelisさんのキャプションより転載しました。 ⌘ 歌詞 Once in your life you will find her Someone that turns your heart around And next thing you know You're closing down the town Wake up and it's still with you Even though you left her way across town Wonderin' to yourself Hey,what have I found When you get caught between the moon and New York City I know it's crazy but it's true If you get caught between the moon and New York City The best that you can do The best that you can do Is fall in love Arthur, he does as he pleases All of his life his master's toys And deep in his heart He's just a boy Living his life one day at a time He's showing himself a pretty good time He's laughing about the way They want him to be When you get caught between the moon and New York City I know it's crazy but it's true If you get caught between the moon and New York City The best that you can do The best that you can do Is fall in love [interlude] When you get caught between the moon and New York City I know it's crazy but it's true If you get caught between the moon and New York City The best that you can do The best that you can do Is fall in love When you get caught between the moon and New York City I know it's crazy but it's true If you get caught between the moon and New York City The best that you can do The best that you can do Is fall in love [Piano Solo] When you get caught between the moon and New York City I know it's crazy but it's true If you get caught between the moon and New York City [Solo End] The best that you can do The best that you can do Is fall in love
