由Michael Bolton唱红的when a man loves a woman, 其实不是原唱。它的原唱是Percy Sledge。 但是Michael Bolton无人能比的演绎和其独具一格的声线牢牢地把他的名字印在了这首歌上。Michael Bolton 的音色非常的特别罕见, 沙哑中透着明亮, 粗旷中富有质感,狂野中不乏温柔。一句话, 那是真正男人的声音。是恶哥的向往。
都说恋爱中的女人愚蠢, 其实男人也一样在恋爱中失去理智。这首歌说得就是这个事儿。什么恋爱时没有朋友, 睡在雨中,花掉最后一毛钱......都是真的。但恶哥其实要跟Michael Bolton说: 兄弟, 你真的很幸运, 你至少能为你所爱的人做一点事, 对错都我所谓, 那朋友, 大雨, 钱在爱的面前又算得了什么啊?那“关雎”所说的"求之不得,寤寐思服。悠哉悠哉,辗转反侧"是文艺版。李商隐的“春心莫共花争发,一寸相思一寸灰”是悲怆版。 如果把苏轼“江城子” 中的“十年生死两茫茫,不思量,自难忘,千里孤坟,无处话凄凉”那千里改成万里, 那就好了......
好吧, 那就在凄凉声中听一听Michael Bolton的悲怆吧......
When a man loves a woman
When a man loves a woman
Can't keep his mind on nothing else
He'd trade the world
For a good thing he's found
If she is bad, he can't see it
She can do no wrong
Turn his back on his best friend
If he puts her down
When a man loves a woman
Spend his very last dime
Trying to hold on to what he needs
He'd give up all his comforts
And sleep out in the rain
If she said that's the way
It ought to be
When a man loves a woman
I give you everything I got (yeah)
Trying to hold on
To your precious love
Baby please don't treat me bad
When a man loves a woman
Deep down in his soul
She can bring him such misery
If she is playing him for a fool
He's the last one to know
Loving eyes can never see
Yes when a man loves a woman
I know exactly how he feels
'Cause baby, baby, baby
I am a man
When a man loves a woman
