不知道大家有没有听说过这个歌手--christopher cross，我是最近才听到他的一些早期歌曲，一下子就被征服了，声音柔细飘扬，尤其是高音部分更是完美无暇的声音。
先来介绍一下这位歌手：(摘录)
Sheriff 的"When I'm With You" 是 one hit wonder 的代表，那么 Christopher Cross 则是被喩为明日之星的歌手却快速殒落的例子．以同名专辑中的亚军曲"Ride Like the Wind"及冠军曲"Sailing"崛起于1980年的他，旋即在隔年以势如破竹之势拿下包括最佳新人及年度最佳歌曲(Sailing) 等5座葛莱美奖，他的事业在当年年底以"Arthur's Theme (Best That You Can Do)"得到排行3周冠军及奥斯卡最佳歌曲时达到颠峰．但之后在83年推出的专辑"Another Page"却让等待的歌迷大失所望，而"Think of Laura"即是专辑中唯一一首大家较熟悉的单曲，曾在84年2月份得到第9名的成绩，而从此以后，他就不曾再进入过Top 40排行过了...

Yeah, I just finished watching part 2 of the trip to Hawaii. I find it odd that all these comments were posted since July of this year. Did this song all of a sudden find it's way back to the radio or something?
But yeah this song is great...

When I first heard this song, I thought to myself..."what a cute song!" Its the lyrics & yes I do remember it being on Growing Pains. One question...what is Christopher Cross doing these days? Is he still alive?

I love this song. It's pretty. He's a good songwriter.

Ron, I remember this episode from Growing Pains. Mike meets Kelly, then he uses his savings to fly back to Hawaii and see her again. He tells her that he "was in the neighborhood". The song plays, and then he finds out that she has a son - tragic in those days. Beautiful song, and that episode always comes to mind when thinking of love lost before it even happened.

英文歌词
Christopher Cross
Words by Christopher Cross and John Bettis
Music by Christopher Cross and Steve Dorff
I never had anything happen so fast
I took one look and I shattered like glass
I guess I let it show 'cause your smile told me you knew
That you're everything I ever wanted at once
There's no holding this heart when it knows what it wants
And I never wanted anything more than to know you
I was swept away
No one in the world but you and I
Gotta find a way to make you feel the way that I do
I was swept away
Without a warning
Like night when the morning begins the day
I was swept away
And so it begins
This journey of love
The summer wind carries us to places all our own
The words of a look
The language of touch
The way that you want me means so much
And I never wanted anything more than to love you
Seeing my tomorrows in your eyes
I was swept away
I hope I wake up soon
I'm a victim of that crazy moon
The very first time you said my name
I knew it would never sound the same
Something about me is changed forever

"I WAS SWEPT AWAY"，刚开始听前奏，I WAS SWEPT AWAY。
仿佛看到穿着懒散而飘逸衣服的MIKE，仿佛抬头看到一片湛蓝的天空，仿佛闻到夏威夷的潮湿海风。
听歌时，完全沉浸其中，只是靠着椅子，手托着下巴发呆，在无聊的举动中，让时间纯粹地流去，什么也不想，什么也不做，因为思绪早已无目的地随着音乐飘到了那片沙滩，在那里自由呼吸了。舒缓的音符轻轻慢慢地流淌出来，我觉得很适合由一群长着翅膀的天使来跳舞。
那么多年过去了，听了这歌，按着地址去找那个童年的记忆，那些事那些人还会在原地吗？但是我知道，在触到的那一刻，生命是定格的，一切是永恒的。作者: frank 时间: 2008-12-26 04:55
