也是澳大利亚的 Air Supply 的经典曲目 "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 fame.
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, all 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 pit 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 a runner 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 tonight 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 的另一首 "All Out Of Love" 也相当不错, 曾经有幸在上海看过他们的现场演唱会, 气氛相当热烈 :-)
I'm lying alone with my head on the phone
Thinking of you till it hurts
I know you're hurt too but what else can we do?
Tormented and torn apart
I wish I could carry your smile and my heart
For times when my life seems so low
It would make me believe what tomorrow could bring
When today doesn't really know, doesn't really know
Chorus:
I'm all out of love, I'm so lost without you
I know you were right believing for so long
I'm all out of love, what am I without you
I can't be too late to say that I was so wrong
I want you to come back and carry me home
Away from this long lonely nights
I'm reaching for you, are you feeling it too
Does the feeling seem oh so right
And what would you say if I called on you now
And said that I can't hold on
There's no easy way, it gets harder each day
Please love me or I'll be gone, I'll be gone
Chorus
Oh, what are you thinking of?
What are you thinking of?
Oh, what are you thinking of?
What are you thinking of?
Savage Garden - I Knew I Loved You ，曾被誉为the best wedding song...曾经在大街小巷，只要看见婚礼，就能听到这首柔美动情的歌曲。。。What a sweet song!
Maybe it's intuition
but some things you just don't question
Like in your eyes, I see my future in an instant
And there it goes,
I think I found my best friend
I know that it might sound
more than a little crazy
but I believe...
I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life
There's just no rhyme or reason
Only the sense of completion
And in your eyes, I see
the missing pieces I'm searching for
I think I've found my way home
I know that it might sound
more than a little crazy
but I believe...
I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life
A thousand angels dance around you
I am complete now that I've found you
I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life
哈哈! 谢谢LS推荐, Whitney Houston 的歌喉真没得说, 可惜这位计划第三个出场的女歌星, 为了性别平衡而一念之差让位给男歌星, 一拖再拖居然直到今天才得以浮出水面 :-)
昨天本想继续有关孩子的歌曲 Whitney Houston 的另一首经典 "Greatest love of all", 却又为澳大利亚乐队让了步, 今天很高兴大家想到一起去了, 好歌同赏
Believe the children are our future
Teach them well
And let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty
They possess inside
Give them a sense of pride
To make it easier
Let the children's laughter
Remind us how we used to be
Everybody's searching for a hero
People need someone to look up to
I never found anyone
Who fulfilled my needs
A lonely place to be
And so I learned to depend on me.
I decided long ago
Never to walk in anyone's shadow
If I fail, if I succeed
At least I'll live as I believe
No matter what they take from me
They can't take away my dignity
Because the greatest love of all
Is happening to me
I found the greatest love of all
Inside of me
The greatest love of all
Is easy to achieve
Learning to love yourself
It is the greatest love of all
I believe the children are our future
Teach them well
And let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty
They possess inside
Give them a sense of pride
To make it easier
Let the children's laughter
Remind us how we used to be
I decided long ago
Never to walk in anyone's shadow
If I fail, if I succeed
At least I'll live as I believe.
No matter what they take from me
They can't take away my dignity
Because the greatest love of all
Is happening to me
I found the greatest love of all
Inside of me
The greatest love of all
Is easy to achieve
Learning to love yourself
It is the greatest love of all
And If by chance that special place
That you've been dreaming of
Leads you to a lonely place
Find your strength in love
哈哈, Whitney Houston 的歌随便选一首都是那么好听, 再来一首电影"保镖"里的 I Have Nothing
Share my life, take me for what I am
Cause I'll never change all my colours for you
Take my love, I'll never ask for too much
Just all that you are and everything that you do
I don't really need to look very much further
I don't want to have to go where you don't follow
I won't hold it back again, this passion inside
Can't run from myself
There's nowhere to hide
(Your love I'll remember forever)
Chorus :
Don't make me close one more door
I don't wanna hurt anymore
Stay in my arms if you dare
Or must I imagine you there
Don't walk away from me...
I have nothing, nothing, nothing
If I don't have you, you, you, you.
You see through, right to the heart of me
You break down my walls with the strength of you love
I never knew love like I've known it with you
Will a memory survive, one I can hold on to
一曲《Tears In Heaven》让我认识了这位传奇的吉他大师Eric Clapton。
这是1992年为电影《泪洒天堂》所作的一首曲子，任何人都听得出那是带给逝去的儿子无限的怀念，感人挚深。
60年代末，在伦敦和纽约街头墙壁上最显眼的涂鸭是“克莱普顿(clapton)是上帝”(clapton is god)。30年过去了，人们仍然深深地为这位坚强的吉他演奏家、歌唱家所吸引，个人生活的不幸一直随着随着克莱普顿曲折且辉煌的音乐事业。他通过音乐表达他真实的感情，他也陷入酒精、毒品的缠绕，借以逃避、缓解友人的离去，亲人、爱人的死去。在一次演出归来的途中，年轻的布鲁斯吉他大师stevie ray vaughan和clapton的演出伙伴colin smythe 和nigel browne 在直升机失事的事故中丧生，克莱普顿坐在后面的飞机上亲眼目睹了这一惨痛的场面。他们都是克莱普顿最亲近的朋友。几个月后，致命的打击再次到来，他4岁的儿子科纳从曼哈顿53层楼的窗口不慎坠下身亡。这个打击几乎让他一蹶不振。从此他寄情于音乐，用不间断的创作缓解难以负荷的伤痛，用至情至胜的歌声超度死者的灵魂。这首《泪洒天堂》是克莱普顿用他已经被悲痛碾得粉碎的心为纪念他的儿子所作。
Would you know my name if I saw you in heaven?
Will it be the same if I saw you in heaven?
I must be strong, and carry on
Cause I know I don't belong here in heaven
Would you hold my hand if I saw you in heaven?
Would you help me stand if I saw you in heaven?
I'll find my way, through night and day
Cause I know I just can't stay here in heaven
Time can bring you down; time can bend your knee
Time can break your heart. Have you begging please?
Beyond the door there's peace I'm sure.
And I know there'll be no more tears in heaven
Would you know my name if I saw you in heaven
Will it be the same if I saw you in heaven
I must be strong, and carry on
Cause I know I don't belong here in heaven
爱尔兰歌手Ronan Keating，他的When You Say Nothing At All ，电影“Notting Hill”的插曲，脍炙人口，深入人心，十多年过去了，我还是常常会拿来欣赏欣赏。。。
"When You Say Nothing At All"
It's amazing
How you can speak
Right to my heart
Without saying a word,
You can light up the dark
Try as I may
I could never explain
What I hear when
You don't say a thing
[CHORUS:]
The smile on your face
Lets me know
That you need me
There's a truth
In your eyes
Saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says
You'll catch me
Whenever I fall
You say it best
When you say
Nothing at all
All day long
I can hear people
Talking out loud
But when you hold me near
You drown out the crowd
(The crowd)
Try as they may
They could never define
What's been said
Between your
Heart and mine
[Repeat chorus twice]
(You say it best
When you say
Nothing at all
You say it best
When you say
Nothing at all)
The smile on your face
The truth in your eyes
The touch of your hand
Let's me know
That you need me
(You say it best
When you say
Nothing at all
You say it best
When you say
Nothing at all)
Edelweiss, Edelweiss
Every morning you greet me
Small and white, clean and bright
You look happy to meet me
Blossom of snow may you bloom and grow
Bloom and grow forever
Edelweiss, Edelweiss
Bless my homeland forever

Storyline
In 1930's Austria, a young woman named Maria is failing miserably in her attempts to become a nun. When the Navy captain Georg Von Trapp writes to the convent asking for a governess that can handle his seven mischievous children, Maria is given the job. The Captain's wife is dead, and he is often away, and runs the household as strictly as he does the ships he sails on. The children are unhappy and resentful of the governesses that their father keeps hiring, and have managed to run each of them off one by one. When Maria arrives, she is initially met with the same hostility, but her kindness, understanding, and sense of fun soon draws them to her and brings some much-needed joy into all their lives -- including the Captain's. Eventually he and Maria find themselves falling in love, even though Georg is already engaged to a Baroness and Maria is still a postulant. The romance makes them both start questioning the decisions they have made.
Edelweiss
"Edelweiss" is a show tune from the 1959 Rodgers and Hammerstein musical The Sound of Music. It is named after the edelweiss, a white flower found high in the Alps. It is sung by Captain Georg Ludwig von Trapp and his family during the concert near the end of Act II as a defiant statement of Austrian patriotism in the face of the pressure put upon him to join the navy of Nazi Germany. In the 1965 film adaptation, the song is also sung by the Captain earlier in the film as he rediscovers music and a love for his children. While The Sound of Music was in tryouts in Boston, Richard Rodgers felt Captain von Trapp should have a song with which he would bid farewell to the Austria he knew and loved. He and Oscar Hammerstein II decided to write an extra song that Captain von Trapp would sing in the Kaltzberg Festival (Salzburg Festival in the film) concert sequence towards the end of the show. As they were writing it, they felt that this song could also utilise the guitar-playing and folk-singing talents of Theodore Bikel, who created the role of Captain von Trapp on Broadway. The Lindsay and Crouse script provides a metaphor of the edelweiss flower, as a symbol of the Austria that Captain von Trapp, Maria and their children knew would live on in their hearts despite the Nazi annexation of their homeland. As such, the metaphor of this song builds on an earlier scene when Gretl presents a bouquet of edelweiss flowers to Elsa Schraeder during her visit to the von Trapp household. Rodgers provided a haunting waltz-time melody based on the simple romantic Biedermeier era tunes like H?nschen klein and others, to the simple too Italian style ritornello lyric that Hammerstein wrote about the appearance of the Edelweiss flower. This song turned out to be one of the most beloved songs in the musical, and also one of the best-loved songs of Rodgers and Hammerstein. This song was the last song that Rodgers and Hammerstein wrote together; Hammerstein was suffering from stomach cancer, which would take his life nine months after The Sound of Music opened on Broadway. Although the stage production uses the song only during the concert sequence, Ernest Lehman's screenplay for the film adaptation uses the song twice. Lehman created a scene that makes extra use of the song. This scene, inspired by a line in the original script by Howard Lindsay and Russel Crouse, calls for Captain von Trapp to sing this song with his children in their family drawing room and rediscover the love he felt for them. Lehman also expanded the scope of the song when it was sung in the Salzburg Festival concert scene so that Captain von Trapp and his family would call the crowds to join in the song with him, in defiance of the Nazi soldiers posted around the arena. It is interesting to note that one of the Nazi commandants is shown singing in a baritone, revealing that he cares more for Austria than for the Reich.
Maria and the Children
Portia Nelson, Irwin Kostal, Rodgers & Hammerstein, Julie Andrews, Marni Nixon
Let's start at the very beginning
A very good place to start
When you read you begin with A-B-C
When you sing you begin with do-re-mi
Do-re-mi, do-re-mi
The first three notes just happen to be
Do-re-mi, do-re-mi
[Maria:]
Do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti
[spoken]
Let's see if I can make it easy
Doe, a deer, a female deer
Ray, a drop of golden sun
Me, a name I call myself
Far, a long, long way to run
Sew, a needle pulling thread
La, a note to follow Sew
Tea, a drink with jam and bread
That will bring us back to Do (oh-oh-oh)
[Maria and Children:]
[Repeat above verse twice]
[Maria:]
Do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti-do
So-do!
[Maria: (spoken)]
Now children, do-re-mi-fa-so and so on
are only the tools we use to build a song.
Once you have these notes in your heads,
you can sing a million different tunes by mixing them up.
Like this.
So Do La Fa Mi Do Re
[spoken]
Can you do that?
[Children:]
So Do La Fa Mi Do Re
[Maria:]
So Do La Ti Do Re Do
[Children:]
So Do La Ti Do Re Do
[Maria:]
[spoken]
Now, put it all together.
[Maria and Children:]
So Do La Fa Mi Do Re, So Do La Ti Do Re Do
[Maria:]
[spoken]
Good!
[Brigitta:]
[spoken]
But it doesn't mean anything.
[Maria:]
[spoken]
So we put in words. One word for every note. Like this.
When you know the notes to sing
You can sing most anything
[spoken]
Together!
[Maria and Children:]
When you know the notes to sing
You can sing most anything
Doe, a deer, a female deer
Ray, a drop of golden sun
Me, a name I call myself
Far, a long, long way to run
Sew, a needle pulling thread
La, a note to follow Sew
Tea, a drink with jam and bread
That will bring us back to Do
Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti Do
Do Ti La So Fa Mi Re
[Children:]
Do Mi Mi
Mi So So
Re Fa Fa
La Ti Ti
[Repeat above verse 4x as Maria sings]
[Maria:]
When you know the notes to sing
You can sing most anything
[Maria and Children:]
Doe, a deer, a female deer
Ray, a drop of golden sun
Me, a name I call myself
Far, a long, long way to run
Sew, a needle pulling thread
La, a note to follow Sew
Tea, a drink with jam and bread
That will bring us back to
[Maria:]
[Children:]
Do . . . So Do
Re . . . La Fa
Mi . . . Mi Do
Fa . . . Re
So . . . So Do
La . . . La Fa
Ti . . . La So Fa Mi Re
Ti Do - oh - oh Ti Do -- So Do
来首给力的。。。70年代的迪斯科女王Gloria Gaynor，非常喜欢她高昂宽厚的，只有黑人才具有的独特的嗓音，她的著名的"I Will Survive"激情洋溢，充满活力，曾被滚石评为100首最伟大的作品之一。。。
At first I was afraid I was petrified.
Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side.
But then I spent so many nights
Thinking how you did me wrong.
And I grew strong!
And I learned how to get along!
So now you're back from out of space.
I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face.
I should have changed that stupid lock!
I should have made you leave your key!
If I had known for just one second you'd be back to bother me.
Go on now, go, walk out that door!
Just turn around now‚
cause you're not welcome any more.
Weren't you the one who tried to hurt (crush) me with goodbye?
Did I crumble
Did I lay down and die
Oh no, not I! I will survive!
Oh and as long as I know how to love I know I stay alive.
I've got all my life to live, I've got all my love to give.
And I'll survive!
I will survive! Hey, hey.
It took all the strength I had not to fall apart.
Kept tryin' hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart!
And I spent oh so many nights
just feeling sorry for myself. I used to cry!
But now I hold my head up high.
And you see me somebody new!
I'm not that chained-up little person still in love with you.
And so you feel like droppin' in,
and just expect me to be free,
now I'm saving all my loving for someone who is loving me!
Gloria Estefan & Miami Sound Machine - Words Get in the Way (Live in Miami 1988)
I Realize You're Seeing Someone New
I Don't Believe She Knows You Like I Do
Your Temperamental Moody Side The One You Always Try To Hide From Me
But I Know When You Have Some Thing On Your Mind
You've Been Trying To Tell Me For The Longest Time
And Before You Break My Heart In Two
There's Something I've Been Trying To Say To You
But The Words Get In The Way
There's So Much I Want To Say
But It's Locked Deep Inside And If You Look In My Eyes
We Might Fall In Love Again
I Won't Even Start To Cry And Before We Say Goodbye
I Tried To Say I Love You
But The Words Got In The Way
Your Heart Has Always Been An Open Door
But Baby I Don't Even Know You Any More
And Despite The Fact It's Hurting Me
I Know The Time Has Come To Set You Free
But The Words Get In The Way
There's So Much I Want To Say
But It's Locked Deep Inside And If You Look In My Eyes
We Might Fall In Love Again
I Won't Even Start To Cry And Before We Say Goodbye
I Tried To Say I Love You But The Words Got In The Way
I'm Trying To Say I Love You
But The Words Get In The Way
“Mad World"是电影"死亡幻觉”的结尾曲，电影并不那么出名，但这首歌曲令人惊叹迷惑，Gary Jules沙哑感性的嗓音唱出“我做过最好的梦是我即将死亡 the dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've had ”，Such depressing song but with such a beautiful tune and lyrics, Love it！Love it！！
All around me are familiar faces
worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for the daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I wanna drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow
And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very very, mad world, mad world
Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
And I feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
Look right through me, look right through me
And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very very, mad world, mad world
Enlarge your world, mad world
15岁那年，在为一个婚礼演唱Barbra Streisand的老歌"Evergreen"时，她的演唱天赋被Paul Byrne,一个名叫In Tua Nua的爱尔兰乐队鼓手发现。在合作完成了In Tua Nua 的第一首单曲"Take My Hand"之后，Sinead离开了寄宿学校，因为她找到了自己真正想做的事-音乐。她开始在咖啡馆里演唱。随后进入都柏林音乐学院进修声乐和钢琴。
1985年她和Ensign唱片公司签订了合约，并定居伦敦。接下来的一年，她完成了音乐创作的首次尝试---和U2的吉他手the Edge一起为电影The Captive配乐。但这次尝试远未达到她所设想的效果---歌曲中凯尔特民歌的味道太浓厚了---用她的话说是"太凯尔特了"。她决定自己坐上制作人的位置，并开始重新录制这张唱片。凭着从91圣歌中得到灵感，并巧妙地借鉴，她为电影the Lion and the Cobra制作音乐，由此诞生了1987年最受称赞的专辑，其中的两首单曲"Mandinka"和"Troy"交替打榜。
It's been seven hours and fifteen days
Since u took your love away
I go out every night and sleep all day
Since u took your love away
Since u been gone I can do whatever I want
I can see whomever I choose
I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant
But nothing
I said nothing can take away these blues
`Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares 2 u
It's been so lonely without u here
Like a bird without a song
Nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling
Tell me baby where did I go wrong
I could put my arms around every boy I see
But they'd only remind me of you
I went to the doctor n'guess what he told me
Guess what he told me
He said girl u better have fun
No matter what u do
But he's a fool
`Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares 2 u
All the flowers that u planted, mama
In the back yard
All died when u went away
I know that living with u baby was sometimes hard
But I'm willing to give it another try
Nothing compares
Nothing compares 2 u
Nothing compares
Nothing compares 2 u
Nothing compares
Nothing compares 2 u
最近喜欢上这首新歌，Adele的“rolling in the deep"，前一阵子电视里大张旗鼓的做新电视连续剧”Underbelly-Razor"用了这首歌，很悦耳上口，这位胖妹妹长得珠圆玉润，嗓音洪亮，中气十足，字正腔圆，把这首歌唱得魅力四射，喜欢这个live version.
There's a fire starting in my heart,
Reaching a fevered pitch and it's bringing me out the dark.
Finally, I can see you crystal clear,
Go ahead and sell me out and I'll lay your ship bare,
See how I'll leave with every piece of you,
Don't underestimate the things that I will do.
There's a fire starting in my heart,
Reaching a fever pitch and it's bring me out the dark.
The scars of your love remind me of us,
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all.
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless,
I can't help feeling,
We could have had it all,
(Your gonna wish you, never had met me)
Rolling in the deep,
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
You had my heart inside of your hand,
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
And you played it to the beat.
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
Baby, I have no story to be told,
But I've heard one on you and I'm gonna make your head burn,
Think of me in the depths of your despair,
Making a home down there as mine sure won't be shared,
The scars of your love remind me of us,
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all.
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless,
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
I can't help feeling,
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
We could have had it all,
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
Rolling in the deep.
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
You had my heart inside of your hand,
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
And you played it to the beat.
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
Could have had it all,
Rolling in the deep,
You had my heart inside of your hand,
But you played it with a beating.
Throw your soul through every open door,
Count your blessings to find what you look for.
Turn my sorrow into treasured gold,
You'll pay me back in kind and reap just what you've sown.
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
We could have had it all,
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
We could have had it all.
(You're gonna wish you never had met me),
It all, it all, it all.
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
We could have had it all,
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
Rolling in the deep.
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep
You had my heart inside of your hand,
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
And you played it to the beat.
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
Could have had it all,
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
Rolling in the deep.
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
You had my heart inside of your hand,
(You're gonna wish you never had met me
But you played it,
You played it,
You played it,
You played it to the beat.

非常喜欢 Debbie Gibson 的 Lost in your eyes:
Verse 1:
I get lost in your eyes
And I feel my spirits rise
And soar like the wind..
Is it love that I am in?
I get weak in a glance
Isn't that what's called romance?
...And now I know
'Cause when I'm lost I can't let go
Chorus:
I don't mind not knowing what I'm headed for
You can take me to the skies...
It's like being lost in heaven
When I'm lost in your eyes
Verse 2:
I just fell, don't know why
Something's there we can't deny...
And when I first knew
Was when I first looked at you
And if I can't find my way
If salvation seems worlds away
Oh, I'll be found
When I am lost in your eyes
CHORUS
Verse 3:
I get weak in a glance
Isn't this what's called romance?
Oh, I'll be found
When I am lost in your eyes
Oh-oh...
在一次偶然的机会下，他们得到了为「杰克森五人组」（Jackson 5）演唱会暖场的工作，前后有三年左右，也连带着获得了Motown唱片的合约。...
以莱诺李奇谱写并主唱的抒情歌谣曲风靡了歌坛，陆续拥有了包括Easy、Brick House、Three Times a Lady、Still和Oh No等等名满天下的畅销曲，
其中的Three Times a Lady和Still，更曾经名列全美排行的冠军。当然，这些都是他创作生涯中最重要的作品。
而来自这张专辑的代表作，我们就可以听到Hello、Penny Lover、All Night Long和Stuck on You。由于从「海军准将」到「无尽的爱」、
以及单飞之后的头两张专辑精彩的表现，莱诺李奇的才华受到了举世的公认，他在1985年春天应邀与流行音乐天王迈克尔杰克逊（Michael Jackson）合作，
共同谱写了欧美流行艺人们连手为非洲难民们募款的We Are the World，轰动了国际。
接着，他又应邀为电影「飞越苏联」（White Nights）谱写一首同名的主题曲。
他花了两个星期的时间，发现自己无法写出那样的一首歌，不过倒是谱成了另外一首他觉得可能很适合该片剧情的歌曲，那也就是Say You, Say Me。
导演听过之后，也非常喜欢，因此决定放在片子结尾。结果，这首歌不但勇夺冠军，更囊括了奥斯卡与金球奖双料的「最佳电影歌曲」。...
Hello - Lionel Richie
I've been alone with you
Inside my mind
And in my dreams I've kissed your lips
A thousand times
I sometimes see you
Pass outside my door
Hello!
Is it me you're looking for?
I can see it in your eyes
I can see it in your smile
You're all I've ever wanted
And my arms are open wide
Because you know just what to say
And you know just what to do
And I want to tell you so much
I love you
I long to see the sunlight in your hair
And tell you time and time again
How much I care
Sometimes I feel my heart will overflow
Hello!
I've just got to let you know
Because I wonder where you are
And I wonder what you do
Are you somewhere feeling lonely?
Or is someone loving you?
Tell me how to win your heart
For I haven't got a clue
But let me start by saying I love you
Hello!
Is it me you're looking for?
Becuase I wonder where you are
And I wonder what you do
Are you somewhere feeling lonely?
Or is someone loving you?
Tell me how to win your heart
For I haven't got a clue
But let me start by saying I love you
[Chorus:]
Say you, say me
Say it for always, that's the way it should be
Say you, say me
Say it together, naturally
I had a dream I had an awesome dream
People in the park playing games in the dark
And what they played was a masquerade
And from behind of walls of doubt a voice was crying out
[Chorus]
As we go down life's lonesome highway
Seems the hardest thing to do is to find a friend or two
A helping hand - some one who understands
That when you feel you've lost your way
You've got some one there to say I'll show you
[Chorus]
So you think you know the answers - oh no
'cause the whole world has got you dancing
That's right - I'm telling you
It's time to start believing - oh yes
Believing who you are - you are a shining star
There's a hero
If you look inside your heart
You don't have to be afraid
Of what you are
There's an answer
If you reach into your soul
And the sorrow that you know
Will melt away
Chorus
And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you
It's a long road
When you face your world alone
No one reaches out a hand
For you to hold
You can find love
If you search within yourself
And the emptiness you felt
Will disappear
Chorus
Lord knows
Dreams are hard to follow
But don't let anyone
Tear them away
Hold on
There will be tomorrow
In time
You'll find the way
Chorus
You've got me feeling emotions
Deeper than I've ever dreamed of
You've got me feeling emotions
Higher than the heavens above
I feel good
I feel nice
I've never been so
Satisfied
I'm in love
I'm alive
Intoxicated
Flying high
It feels like a dream
When you touch me tenderly
I don't know if it's real
But I like the way I feel
Inside
Chorus
In the morning
When I rise
You are the first thing
On my mind
And in the middle
Of the night
I feel your heartbeat
Next to mine
It feels like a dream
When you love me tenderly
I don't know if you're real
But I like the way I feel
Inside
Chorus (x2)
You know the way to make me lose control
When you're looking into my eyes
You're making me so
High
I had it all
But I let it slip away
Couldn't see that I treated you wrong
Now I wander around
Feeling down and cold
Trying to believe that you're gone
Chorus :
Love takes time
To heal when you're hurting so much
Couldn't see that I was blind
To let you go
I can't escape the pain
Inside
Love takes time
I don't wanna be here alone
Losing my mind
From this hollow in my heart
Suddenly I'm so incomplete
Lord I'm needing you now
Tell me how to stop the rain
Tears are falling down endlessly
[Chorus]
You might say that it's over
You might say that you don't care
You might say you don't miss me
You don't need me
But I know that you do and I feel that you do
Inside
When you love someone so deeply
They become your life
It's easy to succumb to overwhelming fears inside
Blindly I imaged I could
Keep you under glass
Now I understand to hold you
I must open my hands
And watch you rise
[Chorus:]
Spread your wings and prepare to fly
For you have become a butterfly
Fly abandonedly into the sun
If you should return to me
We truly were meant to be
So spread your wings and fly
Butterfly
I have learned that beauty
Has to flourish in the light
Wild horses run unbridled
Or their spirit dies
You have given me the courage
To be all that I can
And truly feel your heart will
Lead you back to me when you're
Ready to land
[Chorus]
I can't pretend these tears
Aren't overflowing steadily
I can't prevent this hurt from
Almost overtaking me
But I will stand and say goodbye
For you'll never be mine
Until you know the way it feels to fly
[Chorus]
So flutter through the sky
Butterfly
Spread your wings and fly
Butterfly
