豆沙般的嗓音，桀驁不馴的舞臺形象，源源不斷的創作靈感構成了搖滾巨星Rod Stewart.
Rod Stewart is born in London in 1945, With his inimitable gravely voice, Rod Stewart became one of the true superstars of the '70s. He released in 1975， At that time, RS left Britain to America. In this album RS added folk into his music. In the '90s, many popular bands obviously deeply influenced by Stewart. A musical critic said that “Stewart's taste was as contemporary as ever, he was still no dinosaur.”
知識點：
I am sailing, I am sailing home again cross the sea.
I am sailing stormy waters, to be near you, to be free.
我在航行，越過海洋，又見故鄉。這句當中用一些很簡單的短語像home again, cross the sea.敘述了航行的過程，這裡有個詞stormy, 本意是暴風雨的，storm, 暴風雨， 那麼在後面加個y，就成了形容詞，比如説stormy weather, 狂暴的天氣， a stormy night, 暴風雨之夜，那麼這裡stormy water, 就可以理解為在狂風暴雨交加的水面上。
它與calm是反義詞.它還有激烈的意思，我們可以説The audience burst into stormy applause. 觀眾中突然響起了暴風雨般地掌聲。stormy applause 就是暴風雨般地掌聲,喝彩聲的意思.
I am flying passing high clouds, to be near you, to be free.
我在飛翔, 穿過高高的雲彩, 靠近你, 為了自由.在這裡free 是自由的意思，它不但可以表示人的自由，還可以用在商業上，比如説，free trade自由貿易，當然它還有免費的意思，比如説：The wind mill costs money of course，but the wind itself is free. 雖然建造風車要花費金錢，但風本身是免費的。The wind mill costs money of course，but the wind itself is free.
free一詞還 可以作“無……的”解釋。比如説：Dr. Kooper has called for a smokefree state by the year 2000。
這裡的smokefree可不是免費吸煙的意思，而是無吸煙的意思。那這句話的翻譯就是“庫伯博士號召在2000 年以前建立一個無人抽煙的國度”。Dr. Kooper has called for a smokefree state by the year 2000。
I am dying, forever trying to be with you; who can say?
這裡有個詞組是try to do 努力做某事，試圖作某事，比如説：The police try to help that child find the way home. 警察要幫那個小孩找到回家的路。同樣try後面還可以跟doing 那就是試着做了某事。比如説：I have tried persuading him to give up this plan, but I fail.我試着勸他放棄這個計劃,但是我失敗了。Try to do是努力，試圖作某事，try doing是試着做了某事。
好了，我們大概把這首歌講了一下。歌詞並不難，旋律也簡單，好記。
歌詞：
Sailing:
I am sailing, I am sailing home again 'cross the sea.
I am sailing stormy waters, to be near you, to be free.
I am flying, I am flying like a bird 'cross the sea.
I am flying passing high clouds, to be near you, to be free.
Can you hear me, can you hear me, thru' the dark night far away?
I am dying, forever trying to be with you; who can say?
Can you hear me, can you hear me, thru' the dark night far away?
I am dying, forever trying to be with you; who can say?
We are sailing, we are sailing 'cross the sea.
We are sailing stormy waters, to be near you, to be free.
Oh Lord, to be near you, to be free.
Oh Lord, to be near you, to be free.
Rhythm Of My Heart:
Across the street the river runs
Down in the gutter life is slipping away
Let me still exist in another place
Running under cover of a helicopter blade
The flames are getting higher in effigy
Burning down the bridges of my memory
Love may still be alive somewhere someway
where they're downing only deer
a hundred steel towns away
Oh rhythm of my heart is beating like a drum
with the words "I love you" rolling off my tongue
No never will I roam for I know my place is home
where the ocean meets the sky
I'll be sailing
Photographs and kerosene light up my darkness
light it up, light it up
I can still feel the touch of your thin blue jeans
Running down the alley I've got my eyes all over you baby
Oh baby
Oh the rhythm of my heart is beating like a drum
with the words "I love you" rolling off my tongue
No never will I roam for I know my place is home
where the ocean meets the sky I'll be sailing
I'll be sailing
Oh I've got lightning in my veins
shifting like the handle of a slot machine
Love may still exist in another place
I'm just yanking back the handle
no expression on my face
Oh the rhythm of my heart is beating like a drum
with the words "I love you" rolling off my tongue
Never will I roam for I know my place is home
where the ocean meets the sky
I'll be sailing
Oh the rhythm of my heart is beating like a drum
with the words "I love you" rolling off my tongue
No never will I roam for I know my place is home
where the ocean meets the sky
I'll be sailing
The rhythm of my heart is beating like a drum
with the words "I love you" rolling off my tongue
Never will I roam for I know my place is home
where the ocean meets the sky
I'll be sailing
