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...
个人觉得他的歌声和小哥有点相像，但比小哥更为细腻与柔和，抒情一点。
下面例出两个链接，两首代表作与大家分享：

这两天重看<成长的烦恼>，在一个上下两集<渡假>中听到这首歌，当时只听到一些片断，也不知道歌名，今天上网找了好久，终于找到以上些资料，并DOWN下来，感觉这首歌实在太美了，大家一定要听，还有Growing pain 这个剧集实在是经典，电视里已看了好几遍了，现在看DVD的感觉还是像第一遍那样有趣与温馨。
以下是一些外国网友对SWEPT AWAY 的评价

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
中文翻译(翻的不好)
从来没有想到事情发生的这么快
只看了你一眼我便像玻璃一样碎成了一片片
我猜你应该知道,因为我看到了你的微笑
你是我在这世界上追求的唯一
知道了你以后，再也控制不了自己的心跳
我只想要认识你
我陶醉了
这世界上只有你和我
必须让你也知道我的感受
我陶醉了
没有任何警告就像就像黑暗中的阳光
我陶醉了
就这样开始了这爱情的旅途
夏天的风把我们带到只有我们的地方
用眼睛交流
用语言触摸
用你希望的爱的表达方式
除了爱你,我什么也不要
在你眼中我看到了未来
我陶醉了
我希望我能尽快醒
来都怪那天的月色太浪漫
当你第一次叫我名字的时候
这是我听到的最美妙的声音
我知道我的生命被永远的改变了
