歌词
[Verse 1]
I've gotta take a little time
A little time to think things over
I better read between the lines
In case I need it when I'm older
[Verse 2]
Now this mountain I must climb
Feels like a world upon my shoulders
Through the clouds I see love shine
It keeps me warm as life grows colder
[Pre-Chorus]
In my life there's been heartache and pain
I don't know if I can face it again
Can't stop now, I've traveled so far
To change this lonely life
[Chorus]
I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me
[Verse 3]
I'm gonna take a little time
A little time to look around me
I've got nowhere left to hide
It looks like love has finally found me
[Pre-Chorus]
In my life there's been heartache and pain
I don't know if I can face it again
Can't stop now, I've traveled so far
To change this lonely life
[Chorus]
I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me
[Bridge]
I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
(And I wanna feel) I wanna feel what love is
(And I know) I know you can show me
Let's talk about love
[Chorus]
I wanna know what love is (The love that you feel inside)
I want you to show me (And I'm feelin' so much love)
I wanna feel what love is (No, you just cannot hide)
I know you can show me (Yeah)
[Outro]
I wanna know what love is (Let's talk about love)
I want you to show me (I wanna feel)
I wanna feel what love is (And I know, and I know)
I know you can show me (Yeah)
I wanna know what love is (I wanna know)
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is (I wanna feel)
I know you can show me

今天分享一首 Foreigner 的《I Want to Know What Love Is》。
今天来首抒情歌,天天战斗也不行啊~这首歌来自 Foreigner 1984年的专辑《Agent Provocateur》。这首歌是这张专辑的主打歌,也是他们迄今为止最火的歌曲。这首歌在英国和美国都获得了冠军,并在发行近20年后继续在排行榜上占据一席之地。这首歌在2000年、2001年和2002年登上了公告牌当代流行歌曲排行榜的前25名。在《滚石》杂志有史以来最伟大的500首歌中,它位列第479。
这首歌由吉他手Mick Jones 完成的。这首歌源自他屡战屡败的情感经历,即便如此,他仍然屡败屡战,寻找一份长久的感情。这种对于稳定情感的追求,慢慢变成了生活,变成了一种日常。而引发他出现这样的想法的是他和当时的妻子Ann Dexter-Jones的关系。在录音的时候,他最后放了一个福音唱诗班,因为他意识到不知不觉中,他把它写成了一首灵歌。新泽西弥撒唱诗班被邀请来在这首歌中唱伴奏人声,成为第一个出现在热门歌曲排行榜上的福音唱诗班。
正如他所说:创作就是这样,有时候,你会觉得自己与这个作品毫无关系。它只是借助于你的手,把一段旋律、一种情感写在纸上。看看乐队资料。
Foreigner是一支英美摇滚乐队,最初于 1976 年在纽约市由资深英国吉他手和词曲作者Mick Jones、英国同胞和前King Crimson成员Ian McDonald以及美国歌手Lou Gramm 组成。Jones想出了乐队的名字,因为他、McDonald和Dennis Elliott是英国人,而Lou Gramm、Al Greenwood 和 Ed Gagliardi是美国人。他们是有史以来世界上最畅销的乐队之一,销量超过 8000 万张,其中美国有 3750 万张。Mick Jones对于这个乐队的情感无疑是持久的,他是乐队中唯一一位自始而终都在的创始人。
