The Way We Were 《往日情懷》同名電影主題曲
《回首當(dāng)年》（The Way We Were）根據(jù)阿琴．勞倫茨的小說(shuō)改編，是好萊塢出品的愛(ài)情片中少數(shù)具有濃厚政治意味的作品，也是當(dāng)時(shí)具有知識(shí)分子味道影片中的代表作。背景為美國(guó)50年代美蘇冷戰(zhàn)時(shí)期，劇情描寫(xiě)芭芭拉．史翠珊 （Barbra Streisand）和羅伯特．雷德福（Robert Redford）兩位男女主人公，一個(gè)是在校擔(dān)任青年政黨聯(lián)盟主席，另一個(gè)是熱衷運(yùn)動(dòng)和寫(xiě)作的才子，他們?cè)诖髮W(xué)校園相識(shí)，而到相知相愛(ài)，最后卻因?yàn)楸舜碎g個(gè)性和政治立場(chǎng)的差異而分手。歷經(jīng)多年后兩人再次重逢，回首往事，不勝感慨。悉尼．波拉克（Sydney Pollack）在執(zhí)導(dǎo)該片時(shí)，著重提升影片的思想性，巧妙地把時(shí)代氣氛與個(gè)人沖突加以揉合，欣賞起來(lái)也頗有回腸蕩氣之感。
影片的主題歌“往日情懷”(The Way We Were)，由配樂(lè)人馬文．漢姆利胥(Marvin Hamlisch)譜寫(xiě)音樂(lè)部分，著名的夫妻檔作詞人艾倫．伯格曼(Alan Bergman)負(fù)責(zé)填詞，曾榮獲最佳原作配樂(lè)與最佳歌曲兩項(xiàng)金像獎(jiǎng)，1973更勇奪年葛萊美獎(jiǎng)年度最佳歌曲的殊榮。芭芭拉．史翠珊以吟唱的方式演繹這首除卻巫山不是云的抒情歌曲，一如電影的主題一樣充滿傷感、懷舊和無(wú)奈。在這樣的歌聲里，你的憂傷可以徹底釋放和排遣。此曲屬于她在個(gè)人演唱會(huì)上必唱的經(jīng)典金曲。
The Way We Were
Memories light the corners of my mind
Misty water colour memories
Of the way we were
Picture of the smile we left behind
Smiles we gave to one another
For the way we were
Can it be that it was all so simple then
Or has times rewritten every line
If we had the chance to do it all again
Tell me would we could we
Memories maybe beautiful and yet
What's too painful to remember
We simply choose to forget
So it's the laughter
We will remember
Whenever we remember
The way we were
Memories maybe beautiful and yet
What's too painful to remember
We simply choose to forget
So it's the laughters
We will remember
Whenever we remember
The way we were
The way we were
