【乐曲名称】：Time In A Bottle 【演奏者】：jim croce 【歌词】： If I could save time in a bottle The first thing that I'd like to do Is to save every day Till Eternity passes away Just to spend them with you If I could make days last forever If words could make wishes come true I'd save every day like a treasure and then, Again, I would spend them with you But there never seems to be enough time To do the things you want to do Once you find them I've looked around enough to know That you're the one I want to go Through time with If I had a box just for wishes And dreams that had never come true The box would be empty Except for the memory Of how they were answered by you But there never seems to be enough time To do the things you want to do Once you find them I've looked around enough to know That you're the one I want to go Through time with

这首歌勾起了我对这位传奇音乐人的回忆。
眼底云煙過盡時……正我逍遙處……踏著音樂的靈魂漫步
Jim Croce是个传奇性的人物，在他短短三十年的生命中，从玩具店的店员、卡车司机、电台DJ、广告业务员、工人到临时教师，几乎什么样的工作都尝试过。学生时代就对音乐有着一份执着的狂热，曾经组过好几支民歌与蓝调的乐队。大学毕业后，为了生活，他到处打零工，还因为不小心被铁锤伤到手指，自己摸索出一套可以不用到那受伤的指头的吉他弹奏技巧。当然，在打工之余，他也不断的磨练自己的音乐创作能力。1973年Time In a Bottle这首歌曲，本来根本不被唱片公司重视，因为它具有英国歌曲的色彩，跟Jim Croce第一张专辑的其它十一首歌曲都不一样，显得有点格格不入，用比较现代的术语来说，也就是有一点“另类”。1973年Jim Croce推出了他的第三张专辑《I Got A Name》，而就在同一天晚上，那部电视影片在ABC电视网播出，ABC各地分台的电话响个没完没了，无数的观众都在询问哪里可以买到Time In a Bottle　9月20日，Jim Croce为了赶到另一所大学去开宣传的校园演唱会，搭上了一架包机，飞机一起飞就出状况，撞上了一棵大树，机上所有的人员全部罹难，Jim Croce只活了30岁。　　在Jim Croce过世之后，唱片公司发行了I Got A Name这首歌的单曲，同时被电影《最后美国英雄》采用为插曲。当那首歌曲打进排行第十名的时候，Time In a Bottle终于也被发行成单曲了。六个礼拜之后，它登上了榜首，成为摇滚年代第三首在艺人过世之后才登上冠军宝座的歌曲，可惜的是Jim Croce本人却再也享受不到成功的滋味了。或许我们只能说，这都是命中注定的吧？
