Foreigner -Waiting For A Girl Like You
外國人合唱團~等待一個像妳這樣的女孩
Foreigner合唱團的抒情搖滾曲一 直是當年排行榜的常勝軍,Foreigner 起源於英國籍的吉他手Mick Jones,他原來是迷幻樂隊Spooky Tooth的成員,1975年他來到紐約加入了幾個不同的團體,最後結識了主唱Lou Gramm,於是以這位英國來的外國人命名,於是乎於1976年的美國紐約,組成Foreigner "外國人"合唱團。
同名首作於1977年發行,隨即以"Feels Like The First Time" 、"Long, Long Way From Home"、"Cold As Ice"擠進全美流行榜,受到廣大抒情搖滾樂迷的喜愛,大賣500萬張;這首"Waiting For A Girl Like You"(等待一個像妳這樣的女孩) 原本收錄在1981年Foreigner的第四張專輯裡,而這張專輯也正是他們的經典代表作,獲得1981搖滾榜第一, 全美流行榜第二,成人抒情榜第五。至今已賣出超過700萬張了,專輯中另一首"Urgent"單曲亦不遑多讓,他們唱紅的歌曲甚多,也是電視廣告及影片剪輯配樂的最愛,但1990年代之後就沒有新作了,僅偶而巡迴演唱,甚為可惜。
而Waiting For A Girl Like You 這首歌中不斷的重複"我一直在等待一位像你這樣的女孩 ",有一點像台語個曲中的"等無人"~~ 夢也夢,等呀等.... 就是等不到喜愛的人在眼前出現,只能夢中想像.....夢醒了還是又回到一直在等待某個鮮活的人.....
奉勸我的那些"老"曠男怨女好友們,麥擱等啦!! 別那麼"孤磨"~有一點來電+一點對眼就追了啦!!
Foreigner -Waiting For A Girl Like You
(等待一個像妳這樣的女孩)
So long, I've been looking too hard, I've been waiting too long
Sometimes I don't know what I will find, I only know it's a matter of time
When you love someone, when you love someone
It feels so right, so warm and true, I need to know if you feel it too
Maybe I'm wrong, won't you tell me if I'm coming on too strong
This heart of mine has been hurt before, this time I wanna be sure
I've been waiting for a girl like you to come into my life
I've been waiting for a girl like you, your loving will survive
I've been waiting for someone new to make me feel alive
Yeah, waiting for a girl like you to come into my life
You're so good, when we make love it's understood
It's more than a touch or a word can say
Only in dreams could it be this way
When you love someone, yeah, really love someone
Now I know it's right, from the moment I wake up till deep in the night
There's nowhere on earth that I'd rather be than holding you tenderly
I've been waiting for a girl like you to come into my life
I've been waiting for a girl like you, your loving will survive
I've been waiting for someone new to make me feel alive
Yeah, waiting for a girl like you to come into my life
I've been waiting, waiting for you, ooh, I've been waiting
I've been waiting
(I've been waiting for a girl like you, I've been waiting)
Won't you come into my life?
