亲爱的coco,you were always on my mind。
今年是coco李玟出道30周年,虽然她已在2023年离开我们,对她的思念及追想从未间断,粉丝也衷心期盼可以听见更多coco未曾释出的作品。就在今年,coco生前已录制完毕,但尚未出版的经典翻唱歌曲录音,将陆续面世并出版专辑。这些经典歌曲是由coco自己担任制作人,从2016年开始陆续制作,coco挑选自己与家人喜爱的歌、抒发心情的歌,以及对当代有深刻影响的经典歌曲,以自己的想法重新诠释。在6月15日coco李玟出道30周年纪念日当天,由carol李秋林 & nancy李思林 & coco李玟三姐妹合唱的「珍惜今天(when will i see you again)」已抢先释出,这是继1997年「我的翅膀」之后,李家三位姐妹再度充满互相支持陪伴的真挚正能量合唱。
全新发行的coco独唱单曲「always on my mind」是coco妈妈的偶像猫王唱红的经典歌曲,事母至孝的coco曾经在母亲节发文说「妈妈就是我的世界(my mom is the world to me)」,在选曲时也选了妈妈的最爱来表达心声。这首1972年发行的歌曲原是猫王与前妻仳离之后推出,歌词中表达「失去后才知道珍惜」的深情与遗憾:也许我没有时刻陪伴在你身旁,或是实时表达我的爱,但是你永远在我心上。coco李玟演唱的版本将曲速放慢,以她自然到有如融入呼吸的r&b转音,声线从轻柔吟唱到高亢诉情,随情绪荡漾流转,倾诉她心中的满满的爱与牵挂之情,精彩却不流于炫技,深刻展现她diva天后的演唱功力,与她想要传达的心声。冥冥之中,这首歌也彷彿是coco李玟与歌迷之间的交流,热情温暖的coco,一直将歌迷记挂在心上,而她留下的这首歌,也唱出了所有歌迷们对coco的爱与思念,将会一直在我们的心上。

maybe i didn't love you
quite as often as i could have
maybe i didn't treat you
quite as good as i should have
if i made you feel, second best
boy, i'm sorry i was blind
you were always on my mind
you were always on my mind
maybe i didn't hold you
all those lonely, lonely times
i guess i never told you
i'm so happy that you're mine
little things i should have said and done
i just never took the time
you were always on my mind
you were always on my mind
tell me
tell me that your sweet love hasn't died
and give me
give me one more chance to keep you satisfied
i'll keep you satisfied
little things i should have said and done
i just never took the time
but you were always on my mind
you were always on my mind
you were always on my mind
you were always on my mind
