翻訳と辞書　辞書検索 [ 開発暫定版 ] スポンサード リンク Sign o' the Times (song) ： ウィキペディア英語版 Sign o' the Times (song) "Sign o' the Times," also stylized as "Sign '☮' the Times," is the lead single from American musician Prince's 1987 album of the same name. The song was originally intended for two separate Prince albums meant to be released in 1986, that were both shelved: ''Dream Factory'' and ''Crystal Ball''. (Many of the tracks from both of these albums ended up on the album ''Sign o' the Times.'') Prince sings and performs the entire track except for some backing vocals by then-girlfriend Susannah Melvoin. "Sign o' the Times" was written on a Sunday, when Prince usually wrote his most introspective songs. The song proved popular upon release, topping the R&B chart, and reaching number three on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100. ''Rolling Stone'' ranked "Sign o' the Times" #304 on their list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. In 1987, both ''NME'' and ''Village Voice''s Pazz & Jop critics' poll named "Sign o' the Times" the best single of the year.〔()〕 ==Composition and arrangement== The song was constructed by Prince almost entirely on the Fairlight sampling synthesizer, which provides the primary keyboard riff and sampled electronic bass sounds heard on the track. Unlike some artists, Prince did not program new sounds for this song. He simply used the stock sounds the Fairlight offered, including the famed "orchestra hit" towards the end of the composition. The single marked a shift from those pulled from the albums ''Parade'' and ''Around the World in a Day,'' with a spare, electronic-based arrangement, simple drum machine hits and minimal stacked synth patterns, as well as a bluesy, funk-rock guitar part (cut from the single edit of the song). The record was noticeably bluesier and more downcast (both melodically and lyrically) than any of Prince's previous singles, addressing various socio-political problems including AIDS, gang violence, natural disasters, poverty, drug abuse, the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster and impending nuclear holocaust. This record showcased Prince's ability to merge classic and modern rhythm and blues characteristics into one song. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sign o' the Times (song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
