3. Dana Winner from Belgium, this song is her classic song. Listening to Moonlight Shadow again, I still feel that the incomparable ethereal prelude sound is a little sad, but then Dana's clear voice makes people forget about the sorrow of the world. The sad sound of the piano is intertwined with Dana's transparent voice, as if she can be seen in the hazy moonlight. The song was floating and singing by the lake. I looked at the lyrics and found that it was a sentimental story. Out of curiosity, I checked the background of this song online. I saw in Merrysue's Blog that this song has been covered by many people, including Maggie Reilly, Groove Coverage, Lu Qiaoyin, etc.
I listened to Groove Coverage's interpretation, and it was completely a disco dance version. I also found Zhu The gigolo in Ying Qingtong's anthology also mentioned that this dance music version is completely inconsistent with the theme of the lyrics, which is really sad. Merrysue used three very interesting words to describe this dance music version; he despised it and laughed dumbly, but he thought it was very appropriate.
This song was originally composed by Mike Oldfield from the UK. Many online sources say that this song is in memory of John Lennon, who was shot dead. On December 8th 1980, in front of the Dakota, a supposed fan, Mark David Chapman, fired five shots, hitting John in the chest. By the time he arrived at the hospital, John Lennon was dead. On December 8, 1980, Mark. Chapman disguised himself as a fan and hung around Lennon's apartment for a long time. That night, when Lennon returned home from the studio, Chapman asked Lennon to sign his autograph book. He had a fierce inner struggle at that time, but in the end he still raised his pistol and shot Lennon five times in the back.
