Sing by Michael Bolton
You are the candle, love's the flame
A fire that burns through wind and rain
Shine your light on this heart of mine
Till the end of time
You came to me like the dawn through the night
Just shinin' like the sun
Out of my dreams and into my life
You are the one, you are the one
CHORUS:
Said I loved you but I lied
'Cause this is more than love I feel inside
Said I loved you but I was wrong
'Cause love could never ever feel so strong
Said I loved you but I lied
With all my soul I've tried in vain
How can mere words my heart explain
This taste of heaven so deep so true
I've found in you
So many reasons in so many ways
My life has just begun
Need you forever, I need you to stay
You are the one, you are the one
CHORUS:
You came to me like the dawn through the night
Just shinin' like the sun
Out of my dreams and into my life
You are the one, you are the one
波顿沙哑的嗓音完美的演绎了全曲《Said I loved you but I lied》。
迈克尔.鲍尔顿(Michael Bolton)1953年生于康尼迪克州(Connecticut)的New Haven。80年代末起,Bolton 成为了最优秀的摇滚乐歌手之一。在Bolton的成长过程中,他一直喜爱骚灵音乐,喜爱Steive Wonder, Ray Charles和 Marrin Gaye的歌曲。早在他十五岁时,便登台演唱,在家乡的一些酒吧、俱乐部中献艺,这为他以后的成功打下了坚实的基础。起初,Bolton的歌运并不很理想,推出的几首单曲以及两个专辑都没有引起什么反响。70年代末,Bolton 成为硬摇滚乐队"Blackjack"的主唱,注重从属风格摇滚的发挥,后来乐队解散,Bolton转而进入哥伦比亚公司以求发展。为女歌手劳拉布兰尼根在1983年作的《How Am I Supposed to Live without You》一炮打响,红遍歌坛。接着他又翻唱了已故灵歌巨星奥蒂斯.雷丁的名曲《Sitting on the Dock of the Boy》,获得成功。接着Bolton又重唱了《How Am I Supposed To Live Without You》,听来令人激情荡漾。这首90年代初排行榜上的冠军歌曲,使他获得了该年度的葛莱美流行男歌手奖。从此开始,推出了一系列碧浪灵歌《How Can We Be Lovers》,《Love Is A Wonderful Thing》。91年的专辑《Time Love and Tenderness》一经问世,迅速荣登榜首,在数月里保持在前十的位置。Michael Bolton凭借独特的演绎和声线,以及极富创意的作词、作曲的才华,赢得了乐迷的欣赏,成为当今乐坛炙手可热的红星。
不知道是否受到MTV的影响,现在我每听到《Said I loved you but I lied》都会自然的想到广阔的澳洲红戈壁和奔驰的白骏马。的确这首歌是经典,用我们中国人的话说就是"此曲只因天上有,人间哪得几回闻"。我很喜欢闭着眼睛听歌,因为那样才能洞悉歌曲本身所带给我们的魅力,才能真正体会到音乐是如何激荡自己的灵魂。
