Cowboy Junkies(煙槍牛仔)是一個加拿大的家族樂團,由三兄妹 Margo Timmins (vocals), Michael Timmins (guitar), Peter Timmins (drums)與好友Alan Anton (bass)於1985年組成,"Cowboy Junkies"這個團名是在他們第一次登台演出前隨意取的名字,想不到一用就過了20年,我喜歡他們用歌曲述說發生在身旁的真實故事,平凡的人生中的一些感人插曲!
這首Musical Key是由Michael與主唱的妹妹Margo共同譜寫,聽來感覺像走入一張泛黃的老照片中,裡頭有著女孩與父母再平凡不過的生活互動,卻也是這個愛唱歌的女孩面對人生最溫暖的力量來源,when you grow up and are on your own, remember to win them with your song...

Musical Key
My mother sang the sweetest melody
although she never sang in a musical key
I'd hear her through the house
My name called out loud
My mother sang the sweetest melody
My mother's hands were always cool and soft
And like her eyes they would caress with every touch
She would listen to my chatter
as if every word I spoke mattered
She'd hold me close and whisper in my ear
She'd say, "girl you are a part of me
I have made you strong
when you grow up and are on your own
remember to win them with your song"
My father sang in perfect harmony
And though he never sang in a musical key
You could hear him when he'd enter the house
the kiss he'd give my Ma
My father sang in perfect harmony
My father's words were always sure and clear
and like his presence they would rid me of my fears
When I crawled up on his knees
I was safe as I could be
He'd hold me tight and whisper in my ear
He'd say, "girl you are a part of me
I have made you strong
when you grow up and are on your own
remember to win them with your song"
My mother sang in sweetest melody
although she never sang in a musical key

音調
(歌詞由林文淇先生翻譯)
我母親唱的是天底下最甜美的旋律
雖然她從來都不是用音調來唱
我會聽到她的聲音從屋子裡傳來
大聲地喊著我的名字
我母親唱的是天底下最甜美的旋律
我的母親的雙手永遠那麼舒涼又柔軟
就像她的眼神一樣,她的撫摸總帶著愛的慰藉
她會細聽我的喋喋不休
好像我說的每句話都很重要
她會緊摟著我,在我耳邊輕聲細語
她會說:「女兒,你是我的骨肉
我已經把你扶養茁壯
等你長大自立後
記得要用歌聲去贏得大家的喜愛」
我父親唱的是最完美的和諧
雖然他從來都不是用音調來唱
你可以聽到他回家的聲音
他與我母親的親吻聲
我父親唱的是最完美的和諧
我父親的話總是那麼肯定又清晰
就像他的存在一樣,能夠把我的恐懼一掃而空
每當我爬到他的膝上
就覺得安全無比
他會緊摟著我,在我耳邊輕聲細語
他會說:「女兒,你是我的骨肉
我已經把你扶養茁壯
等你長大自立後
記得要用歌聲去贏得大家的喜愛」
我母親唱的是天底下最甜美的旋律
雖然她從來都不是用音調來唱
