點我進入~!!!

在美語中稱以不幸或失戀為主題的
感傷流行歌曲叫作torch song
像Billie Holiday就是爵士樂界最偉大的
torch singer〔感傷歌手〕!

其實80年代也有一些讓人蠻懷念的感傷情歌
一首好的感傷歌曲深情而不濫情
讓你有一種想哭的衝動....尤其是在大雨的氣氛中聆聽...

也曾經在國中時把錄音帶都快聽爛
只是為了重複聽其中一首在當時不算熱門
討論感情失落 哀傷主題的歌
也是一首放在卡帶裡最後面不被注意的歌....
像Gary Moore的Still Got the Blues,
Gino Vannelli的Hurts To Be In Love,
Benjamin Orr的Stay The Night,
也是很棒的感傷情歌,
在討論區中各位前輩也都有貼過...

所以我找了些較冷門的torch song,
我所謂冷門的定義並無標準
只要是較少聽到或不像Careless Whisper或
Everytime You Go Away那麼暢銷的感傷情歌...

Restless Heart - Tell me what you dream
有時也要注意一下愛人在夢中透露的秘密...

All of the night you hold out for love
You give what you have, still that's not enough
What went wrong?
'Cos now what we share, are too many fears,
Too many secrets, too many years,
Tonight.

Tell me what you dream, at night, while you're sleepin'
Tell me what you see, at night, in your dreams
Is it someone else's arms that hold you tight,
Or darlin' is it me?
Tell me what you dream, at night, while you sleep

Deep in the night you whisper so low
I lay by your side, I felt so alone,
Alone
I reached for your arms, you called out a name
It wasn't my own. It caused me so much pain,
Inside

Tell me what you dream, at night, while you're sleepin'
Tell me what you see, at night, in your dreams
Is it someone else's arms that hold you tight,
Or darlin' is it me?
Tell me what you dream, at night, while you sleep

Steve Perry - Foolish Heart
MV拍得有點單調,歌曲把期盼愛情又怕受傷害的心情描寫的真棒!
有MV喔

I need a love that grows
I don't want it unless I know
With each passing hour
Someone somehow
Will be there
Ready to share

I need a love that's strong
I'm so tired of being alone
But will my lonely heart
Play the part
Of the fool again
Before I begin

Foolish heart
Hear me callin'
Stop before
You start fallin'
Foolish heart
Heed my warnin'
You've been wrong before
Don't be wrong anymore

Feelin' that feelin' again
I'm playin' a game I can't win
Love's knockin' on the door
Of my heart once more
Think I'll let her in
Before I begin

Foolish Heart
Hear me callin'
Stop before
You start fallin'
Foolish heart
Heed my warnin'
You've been wrong before
Don't be wrong anymore
Foolish heart

Foolish, foolish heart
You've been wrong before

Foolish, foolish heart
Foolish heart

 

Sade - Is It A Crime
百分之百的torch song
This may come, This may come as some surprise
but I miss you
I could see through all of your lies
but still I miss you
he takes her love, but it doesn't feel like mine
he tastes her kiss, her kisses are not wine, they're not mine

he takes, but surely she can't give what I'm feeling now
she takes, but surely she doesn't know how

Is it a crime
Is it a crime
that I still want you
and I want you to want me too

My love is wider, wider than Victoria Lake
My love is taller, taller than the empire state

It dives and it jumps and it ripples like the deepest ocean
I can't give you more than that, surely you want me back

Is it a crime
Is it a crime
that I still want you
and I want you to want me too

tell me...Is it a crime ?

Paul Davis - Cool Night

 

Paul Davis - Cool Night
I Go Crazy是他在70年代的另一首佳作,
其實這首Cool Night還蠻溫馨的

I sometimes wonder why
All the flowers had to die
I dream about you
And now, summer's come and gone
And the nights they seem so long

Come on over tonight
Come on over

It's gonna be a cool night
Just let me hold you
By the firelight
If it don't feel right
You can go

Oh oh, when the cool night
Brings back memories
Of a good life
When this love was not so old

Oh oh, I won't talk about the past
How love's supposed to last forever
And you don't have to take a stand
Lay out any plans

Come on over tonight
Come on over

It's gonna be a cool night
Just let me hold you
By the firelight
If it don't feel right
You can go

Oh oh, when the cool night
Brings back memories
Of a good life
When this love was not so old

Come on over tonight
Come on over

其實不錯的感傷情歌還蠻多的
像Glenn Frey的The one you love,
The Cars的Drive等等...
如果你手中也有些較冷門的
好聽感傷情歌,
