关于这首歌的故事（转载）
关于这首歌，有一个故事。故事的女主角是这首歌的原唱劳里·雷伯曼。劳里·雷伯曼是一个歌手，她听说有个男歌手的演唱很动人，
于是就专门去观看他的演出了。当她来到这座酒吧，听到那个男歌手演唱。他的歌这样近的击中她的心，而他的人却这样远地和她相隔，隔着人的山，人的海，隔着相遇和契合的可能，她知道，她能够拥有的只有这么一点记忆，不可能再多，她能做的，也只有把这一点记忆珍藏起来，仅此而已。她把自己的感怀告诉了自己的朋友诺曼·吉姆伯尔和查里斯·福克斯，他们为她写下了轻歌销魂。唱歌的这个男子就是唐·迈克莱恩。对于他而言，她只是观众中的一份子，而对于她来讲，他是她全部生活的答案。离开了这种歌唱与聆听的机缘，他们互相之间就是陌生人，绝无其他可能。雷伯曼自己也是歌手，她深知这一点。而且，她也深知，他的美，有很大部分是因为他的音乐。她陷入绝望之中。这种绝望，便生了这首歌。但事情往往是这样，也许是因为过度渴望表达这种感情，反而不会产生预期的效果。雷伯曼没有唱红这首歌，她的故事和她的歌一样，都要湮灭在更多的故事和更多的歌之间了。
与此同时，另外一个歌手在成长，她注定要成为这首歌真正的诠释者，她就是罗伯塔·弗莱克。这个教堂风琴手的女儿，毕业于哈佛大学，接受过正规的音乐训练，但这中训练并没有为她在音乐上的灵气套上缰绳，也没有影响她的激情。在音乐教师的职位上消磨了很久以后，她终于因为在俱乐部的一次演出被台下的音乐家看中，并被推荐到唱片公司。这一年她已经31岁。她的才华开始迸发出来，是一种跃动和一种灵性，她的榜首歌停留了6周之久，并且获得了格莱美奖。在飞机上，她遇到了轻歌销魂。看出了这首歌的潜质，并且了这首歌的结构与和声等部分进行了改编和修改，在录音棚呆了三个月之后，她成功推出了我们现在听到的这个版本的轻歌销魂。她随意地唱出了主题句子，声音里仿佛有着无限的沧桑，仿佛一次爱情就让人觉悟，并且坠入沉沉暮色。然后，是倾诉，感慨，她像是含着醉意，在一种恍惚的状态下唱歌，因此没有我们预想中的悲痛，反而多了一些随意，在不经意间将听者击中。
Killing me softly with his song
By Roberta Flack
Strumming my pain with his fingers,
Singing my life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song,
killing me softly with his song,
Telling my whole life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song.
I heard he sang a good song,
I heard he had a style,
And so I came to see him and listen for a while.
And there he was this young boy,
a stranger to my eyes,
Strumming my pain with his fingers,
Singing my life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song,
Killing me softly with his song,
Telling my whole life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song.
I felt all flushed with fever,
Embarrassed by the crowd,
I felt he found my letters and read each word out loud.
I prayed that he would finish,
But he just kept right on
Strumming my pain with his fingers,
Singing my life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song,
Killing me softly with his song,
Telling my whole life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song
He said as if he knew me
In all my god's spaer
And then he looked right through me
as if I wasn't there.
And he just kept on singing
singing clear and strong
Strumming my pain with his fingers,
Singing my life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song,
Killing me softly with his song,
Telling my whole life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song.
Oh,oh......
la la la la la
Oh,Oh
la~
Strumming my pain with his fingers,
Singing my life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song,
Killing me softly with his song,
Telling my whole life with his words,
Killing me softly
He was trumming my pain,
Here he was singing my life,
Killing me softly with his song,
killing me softly with his song,
Telling my whole life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song.
