Hello, my friend的调调有点像gilbert o'sullivan的“alone again”。
Alone Again Naturally / Gilbert O'Sullivan
Within a little while from now
If I'm not feeling any less sour
I promise myself to treat myself
And visit a nearby tower
And climbing to the top will throw myself off
In an effort to make it clear to who
Ever what it's like when you're shattered
Left standing in the lurch by the church
Where people saying: "My God, that's tough
She's stood him up"
No point in us remaining
You may as well go home
Cause I did on my own
Alone again, naturally
To think that only yesterday
I was cheerful, bright and gay
Looking forward to wouldn't do
The role I was about to play
But as if to knock me down
Reality came around
And without so much, as a mere touch
Cut me into little pieces
Leaving me to doubt
About God and His mercy
Or if He really does exist
Why did He desert me
And in my hour of need
I truly am indeed
Alone again, naturally
It seems to me that there are more hearts
Left unattended
What do we do? What do we do?
Alone again, naturally
And looking back over the years
When everyone stands and fears
I remember I cried when my father died
Never wishing to dry the tears
And at sixty-five years old
My mother, God rest her soul,
Couldn't understand why the only man
She had ever loved had been taken
Leaving her to stop with the heart so badly broken
Despite encouragement from me
No words were ever spoken
And when she passed away
I cried and cried all day
Alone again, naturally
Alone again, naturally

编曲是有点相似的地方，特别是开始的时候....不过「Alone Again Naturally」较为轻快，而「Hello, my friend」的调子是较慢带多点哀伤的....而唱片封面为了配合歌曲内容，一反过去松任谷由实爱用的coloured-contrastion graphic色采斑丽的插图，而选用了黑白照，再加上Yumi的复古怀旧Look与背后的古建筑物，很有"先人"味道....是送别好友的丧礼进行曲...
不过两首歌曲最相似的地方，就是内容....「Hello, my friend」是送别好友，而「Alone Again Naturally」则是念及父母逝世时的心情....是很无助与无奈....
What do we do? What do we do?
可以做些什么？只有哭...整天在哭....自然再度孤独一人....
是洋式"念亲恩".....
谢谢研子的good reference.....令我回到童年的记忆中，想起亡父....
