Air Supply - Making Love Out of Nothing At All
I know just how to whisper and I know just how to cry.
I know just where to find the answers and I know just how to lie.
I know just how to fake it and I know just how to scheme.
I know just when to face the truth and then I know just when to dream.
And I know just where to touch you and I know just what to prove.
I know when to pull you closer and I know when to let you loose.
And I know the night is fading. And I know the time's gonna fly.
And I'm never gonna tell you everything I gotta tell you,
but I know I've got to give it a try.
And I know the road to riches. And I know the ways to pain.
I know all the rules and then I know how to break 'em
and I always know the name of the game.
But I don't know how to leave you and I'll never let you fall.
And I don't know how you do it, making love out of nothing at all.
Out of nothing at all. Out of nothing at all.
Out of nothing at all. Out of nothing at all.
Out of nothing at all. Out of nothing at all.
Everytime I see you, well the rays of the sun are all
streaming through the waves in your hair.
And every star in the sky is taking aim at your eyes
like a spotlight.
The beating of my heart is a drum and it's lost
and it's looking for a rhythm like you.
You can take the darkness from the deep of the night
and turn it to a beacon burning endlessly bright.
I gotta follow it cause everything I know,
well, it's nothing til I give it to you.
I can make you run or stumble. I can make the final block.
And I can make every tackle at the sound of the whistle.
And I can make all the stadiums rock.
I can make the night forever or I can make it disappear by the dawn.
And I can make you every promise that's ever been made.
And I can make all your demons be gone.
But I'm never gonna make it without you.
Do you really wanna see me crawl?
And I'm never gonna make it like you do,
making love out of nothing at all.
Out of nothing at all. Out of nothing at all.
Out of nothing at all. Out of nothing at all.
Out of nothing at all. Out of nothing at all.
Out of nothing at all. Out of nothing at all.
Air Supply 的歌是我從小開始聽的,很喜歡 Russell & Graham 的組合,尤其 Russell 的高吭嗓音,更是吸引我的注意,沒想到到 2007 年他們重開演唱會,Russell 變得如此白髮,真是歲月不饒人,不過 Russell 的嗓音依然高吭,頗讓我有重回年少的感覺……
Michael Learns To Rock - Sleeping Child
在世界流行樂壇中,北歐常常能為我們帶來一些驚喜。而來自丹麥的Michael Learns To Rock(MLTR)就是其中之一,他們在九十年代風靡世界,帶來撫動我們心弦的音樂——斯堪的納維亞清新氣息和經典流行音樂的完美結合。沒有漂亮迷人的外表,沒有鋪天蓋地的宣傳,沒有引人遐想的緋聞;這些製造巨星的前提條件或副產品,MLTR都沒有,有的只是百聽不厭的原創作品。MLTR的故事可以說是世界搖滾音樂的一個經典:四個酷愛搖滾的年輕人走到一起,成立樂隊,和全球各地的樂迷分享他們的作品。
故事在1987年從他們的故鄉Arhus開始。樂隊的核心——JASCHA RICHTER(主音兼鍵盤手)和鼓手KARE WANSCHER、吉他手MIKKEL LENTZ組成了一個小組合,這就是MLTR的雛形。三人和搖滾樂的緣分從孩提時經已開始,所以他們決定以JASCHA創作的歌曲為基礎,組建一支樂隊,但原先的三人組合還不完全。1988年的春天,KARE的好友、吉他手SOREN MADSEN的加入使得MLTR正式成為現實,其音樂旅程由此開始。緊接著在88年5月,剛成立的這支樂隊在Arhus舉行的"Dansk Rock Grand Prix"上完成了他們的處子演出,並在夏季參加了當地知名的音樂比賽,令人信服地取得冠軍。正是在這次比賽中,作為評委之一的JP Andersen發現了這四個年輕人身上特有的天賦,很快他就成為了MLTR的經理人,直到現在。
一直以來,Michael Learns To Rock都通過他們的努力證明:即使是世界上最偏遠的角落,和我們的距離也只不過是一首動人的歌曲。
Michael Learns To Rock - That's Why (You Go Away)
Michael Learns To Rock 簡稱 MLTR﹐由主音及琴鍵手 Jascha Richter﹑鼓手Kåre Wanscher﹑結他手Mikkel Lentz和貝斯手Søren Madsen組成於1988年。1991年出版首張專輯Michael Learns To Rock頗受到歐洲市場歡迎﹐其後的Colours (1993) 更打開了東南亞市場﹐1995年終憑一首That’s Why You Go Away進佔成功。此曲來自Played On Pepper (1995/EMI) 專輯﹐屬於一首 Rock Ballad﹐調子與歌詞都簡單﹐卻又深情的主流作品﹐風格頗80年代。此專輯於泰國﹑馬來西亞﹑台灣﹑新加坡﹑印度﹑菲律賓﹑南韓皆取得數白金或白金銷量﹐全球出售過120萬張。
Baby want you tell me why there is sadness in your eyes
I don't wanna say goodbye to you
Love is one big illusion I should try to forget
But there is something left in my head
You're the one who set it up
Now you're the one to make it stop
I'm the one who's feeling lost right now
Now you want me to forget every little thing you said
But there is something left in my head
* CHORUS : I won't forget the way you're kissing
The feelings so strong were lasting for so long
But I'm not the man your heart is missing
That's why you go away I know
You were never satisfied no matter how I tried
Now you wanna say goodbye to me
Love is one big illusion I should try to forget
But there is something left in my head
* REPEAT CHORUS
Sitting here all alone in the middle of nowhere
Don't know which way to go
There is so much to say now between us
There ain't so much for you
There ain't so much for me anymore
* REPEAT CHORUS

Bryan Adams, Rod Stewart & Sting - All For Love
When it's love you give
(I'll be a man of good faith.)
Then in love you live.
(I'll make a stand. I won't break.)
I'll be the rock you can build on,
Be there when you're old,
To have and to hold.
When there's love inside
(I swear I'll always be strong.)
Then there's a reason why.
(I'll prove to you we belong.)
I'll be the wal that protects you
From the wind and the rain,
From the hurt and pain.
Let's make it all for one and all for love.
Let the one you hold be the one you want,
The one you need,
'Cause when it's all for one it's one for all.
When there's someone that should know
Then just let your feelings show
And make it all for one and all for love.
When it's love you make
(I'll be the fire in your night.)
Then it's love you take.
(I will defend, I will fight.)
I'll be there when you need me.
When honor's at stake,
This vow I will make:
That it's all for one and all for love.
Let the one be the one you want,
The one you need,
'Cause when it's all for one it's one for all.
When there's someone that should know
Then just let your feelings show
And make it all for one and all for love.
Don't lay our love to rest
'Cause we could stand up to you test.
We got everything and more than we had planned,
More than the rivers that run the land.
We've got it all in our hands.
Now it's all for one and all for love.
(It's all for love.)
Let the one you hold be the one you want,
The one you need,
'Cause when it's all for one it's one for all.
(It's one for all.)
When there's someone that should know
Then just let your feelings show.
When there's someone that you want,
When there's someone that you need
Let's make it all, all for one and all for love.
Daniel Powter - Free Loop
I'm a little used to calling outside your name
I wont see you tonight so I can keep from going insane
But I don't know enough, I get some kinda lazy day
Hey yeah
I've been fabulous through to fight my town a name
I'll be stooped tomorrow if I don't leave as them both the same
But i dont know enough, I get some kinda lazy day
Hey yeah
Cause it's hard for me to lose
In my life I've found only time will tell
And I will figure out that we can baby
We can do a one night stand, yeah
And it's hard for me to lose in my life
I've found outside your skin right near the fire
That we can baby
We can change and feel alright
I'm a little used to wandering outside the rain
You can leave me tomorrow if it suits you just the same
But I don't know enough, I need someone who leaves the day
Hey yeah
Cause it's hard for me to lose
In my life I've found only time will tell
And I will figure out that we can baby
We can do a one night stand, yeah
And it's hard for me to lose in my life
I've found outside your skin right near the fire
That we can baby
We can change and feel alright
Cause it's hard for me to lose
In my life I've found only time will tell
I will figure out that we can baby
We can do a one night stand, yeah
And it's hard for me to lose in my life
I've found outside your skin right near the fire
That we can baby
We can change and feel alright
Cause it's hard for me to lose
In my life I've found only time will tell
And I will figure out that we can baby
We can do a one night stand, yeah
And it's hard for me to lose in my life
I've found outside your skin right near the fire
That we can baby
We can change and feel alright
Daniel Powter- Bad Day
Daniel Powter 就是這樣,你會覺得他像一位長久“在路上”的詩人,或者是與你在地鐵站內擦肩而過的行者,你大可不必憐惜他在因何而憂傷不定,他是快樂的,就像一位感性和喜歡隨遇而安的詩人在記錄著所看到的一切,並懷著一種堅定而感恩的心,活著。
首支單曲“Bad Day”連續十周佔據瑞士單曲榜冠軍,如旋風般地在法國電臺創下點播的奇跡,將近兩個月蟬聯榜首,更在法國當地造成一般DP(Daniel Powter)熱潮。MV拍得非常有意思,描述一對相隔咫尺、卻一直素不相識的男女,在各自生活裡或喜或悲,並最終因為個性深處的契合而走近彼此的故事,特別是裡面男女主角在同一廣告板上塗鴉的情節顯得非常真切動人……而它又不僅僅是一出“向左走,向右走”的愛情小品,歌曲背地裡折射出來的現代人的生活觀,則是可以使之意味悠長的原因所在。
Where is the moment when we need it the most
you kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
you tell me your blue sky's faded to grey
you tell me your passions is gonna away
And i don't need no carry on
Stand in the line just ahead of the law
You're faking a smile with the coffee you go
You tell me your life's been way off line
You're falling to pieces everytime
And I don't need no carrying on
Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day
Well you need a blue sky holiday
The point is they laugh at what you say
And I don't need no carrying on
Sometimes the system goes on the blink and the whole thing it turns out Wrong
You might not make it back and you know that you could be well oh that Strong
Well I'm not wrong
So where is the passion when you need it the most
Oh you and I
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
You've seen what you like
And how does it feel for one more time
You had a bad day
You had a bad day
Daniel Powter - Love You Lately
You packed your last two bags.
A taxi's 'round the bend.
You used to laugh out loud,
But you can't remember when.
You lost your lies.
It's like your moving out of time,
And the whole word crumbles right beneath you.
So, I might've made a few mistakes,
But that was back when you would smile,
And we would go everywhere,
But we ain't been there for awhile.
And this I know,
There's a place that we can go-
A place where I can finally let you know.
'Cause I'm the one that loves you lately.
You and me, we got this great thing.
We're the only one's that around,
We're the only one's that around this Babylon.
I hope you find whatever you've been lookin' for.
Just remember where you're from and who you are,
'Cause there's a thousand lights that'll make you feel brand new,
But if you ever lose your way, I'll leave one on for you.
'Cause I'm the one that loves you lately.
You and me, we got this great thing.
So, come back and you sit down. Relax.
Everything's to see that you've come a long, long way,
And it's the place that you should be.
'Cause I'm the one that loves you lately.
You and me, we got this great thing.
'Cause I'm the one that loves you lately.
You and me, we got this great thing.
And we're the only one's that around,
We're the only one's that around this Babylon.
打包完最後兩件行李 計程車在轉角等待
曾經的開懷大笑 已不復記憶
無法再掩飾傷痛 把自己帶回從前
讓現實在眼前崩解
相處時 我也犯過一些小錯誤
你總能一笑置之
我們一起看遍世間景色
但那是很久以前的事了
我知道 有一個地方
在那裡 我能讓你明瞭一切
現在 依然愛你
我們的愛情如此美好
是唯一可以依賴的
是這繁華世界 唯一可以依賴的
願你找到想追尋的夢想
但請謹記自己的根源和本質
繁華燈光也許會讓你煥然一新
但若你迷失方向 我會在這等你
現在 依然愛你
我們的愛情如此美好
所以回來吧 坐下 放輕鬆
一切證明 你已吃了那麼多苦
這裡才是你的歸屬
現在 依然愛你
我們的愛情如此美好
現在 依然愛你
我們的愛情如此美好
是唯一可以依賴的
是這繁華世界 唯一可以依賴的
