永不言败的花蝴蝶 -- 玛莉亚凯丽 Mariah Carey



  90年代初,玛莉亚凯丽以其5个8度音的宽广音域和极高辨识度的歌声勇闯歌坛,甫一出道便艺惊四座,从此星运扶摇直上,稳坐西方乐坛歌后宝座。

  几年前和身为唱片公司总裁的丈夫离婚后,先是出片受挫,后又惹上唱片合约纠纷、主演影片大演滑铁卢、与男友分手等,导致精神分裂,进入医院治疗,形象受损,惨遭歌迷唾弃,星途跌入谷底。

  不过玛莉亚凯丽有非一般的坚韧意志。先是签约新唱片公司, 重塑形象,再通过与各大音乐人合作,重新出发。发了一张反应平平的专辑后,接下来的新专辑'Emancipation of MiMi'销路势如破竹,单曲'We Belong Together'蝉联美国告示牌冠军达14周之久,花蝴蝶终于再破蛹而出,强势回归,重霸歌坛!



I didn’t mean it when I said
I didn’t love you so
I should have held on tight
I never should have let you go
I didn’t know nothing,
I was stupid, I was foolish
I was lying to myself
I couldn’t have fathomed
I would ever be without your love
Never imagined I’d be sitting
Here beside myself
Guess I didn’t know you
Guess I didn’t know me
But I thought I knew everything
I never felt

The feeling that I’m feeling
Now that I don’t hear your voice
Or have your touch and kiss your lips
Cause I don’t have a choice
Oh what I wouldn’t give
To have you lying by my side
Right here cause baby

When you left I lost a part of me
It’s still so hard to believe
Come back baby please 'cause
We belong together
Who else am I gonna lean on when times get rough
Who’s gonna talk to me on the phone
Till the sun comes up
Who’s gonna take your place
There ain’t nobody better
Oh baby baby
We belong together


I can’t sleep at night
When you are on my mind
Bobby Womack’s on the radio
Singing to me “If You Think You’re Lonely Now”
Wait a minute this is too deep
I gotta change the station
So I turn the dial tryin’ to catch a break
And then I hear Babyface
“I Only Think Of You” and it’s breakin’ my heart
I’m tryin’ to keep it together but I’m falling apart

I’m feeling all out of my element
Throwing things, crying tryin’
To figure out where the hell I went wrong
The pain reflected in this song
Ain’t even half of what I’m feeling inside
I need you, need you back in my life baby

When you left I lost a part of me
It’s still so hard to believe
Come back baby please cause
We belong together
Who else am I gonna lean on when times get rough
Who’s gonna talk to me on the phone
Till the sun comes up
Who’s gonna take your place
There ain’t nobody better
Oh baby, baby
We belong together

When you left I lost a part of me
It’s still so hard to believe
Come back baby please 'cause
We belong together
Who am I gonna lean on when times get rough
Who’s gonna talk to me till the sun comes up
Who’s gonna take your place
There ain’t nobody better
Oh baby, baby
We belong together
