JK 2021年 的第二首單曲, 重新詮釋超級三重唱 Crosby Stills & Nash 1969年的經典曲 “Helplessly Hoping 無助的期盼”,中文單名 “絕” 。
本曲的經典是歌曲在單一的一把木吉他伴奏下, 穿梭全場, 交錯複雜, 沒有主音的三重唱. JK在維持原曲的精神下, 一人飾三角 完成這首高難度的歌曲. 在歌曲的編曲上 JK也做了調整, 在歌曲的後半, 加了一段全樂團 (Full Band) 的鄉村搖滾抒情曲調. 又是一個截然不同的詮釋…
In his 2021 cover of Crosby Stills & Nash’s acoustic classic “Helplessly Hoping”, JK performs all three parts of harmonies followed by a full band section to complete the country rock ballad rendition. Again, a quite unique vibe …

《Helplessly Hoping》
Helplessly hoping her harlequin hovers nearby
Awaiting a word
Gasping at glimpses of gentle true spirit, he runs
Wishing he could fly
Only to trip at the sound of goodbye
Wordlessly watching, he waits by the window and wonders
At the empty place inside
Heartlessly helping himself to her bad dreams, he worries
Did he hear a goodbye?
Or even hello?
They are one person
They are two alone
They are three together
They are for each other
Stand by the stairway, you'll see something certain to tell you
Confusion has its cost
Love isn't lying, it's loose in a lady who lingers
Saying she is lost
And choking on hello
They are one person
They are two alone
They are three together
They are for each other
