「音樂」What Love Is

在年末的時候，回顧了自己這一年聽的音樂。如果這兩三個禮拜沒有任何程咬金，我想今年最愛的歌曲，就是這首了。

Mary J. Blige - What Love Is

從一出專輯就買了下來，把這首設為手機鈴聲將近三四個月直到暑假，然後到現在別人打給我，答鈴依然有機會聽到這首歌。是出自對這張專輯的感動，對這首歌的感動，驅使了我這麼做。

MJB把種種愛的面貌，完整地寫在了這首歌裡面，再加上天生渾厚的唱腔與得道唱功，怎能不令人動容？

What Love Is

Beautiful, horrible, magical, terrible.
Reason to laugh and smile.
Reason to cry yourself to sleep at night.
Start a fight. Make up, break up, wrong or right.
Heaven for all its worth can
equally be hell right here on earth.
(And no one really knows anything about it)
But everybody needs it.
We can't live without it.
And that's the way it goes.)
Dark as day, bright as night.
Just some of the things you might hear if
you ask what love feels like.

And it feels like joy, and it feels like pain.
And it feels like sunshine, feels like rain.
An excuse for dying, reason to live.
And if you don't know, that's what love is. Love is.

Gentle kiss, sweet caress.
Kiss the base of your neck.
Argue until my head hurts, I
can't remember what you said.
Ow, screaming loud, don't know
what we're screaming bout.
So confusing, yes it's true, but if it
wasn't there what would we do?

(And no one really knows anything about it)
But everybody needs it.
We can't live without it.
(And that's the way it goes.)
Dark as day, bright as night.
Just some of the things you might hear if
you ask what love feels like.

And it feels like joy, and it feels like pain.
And it feels like sunshine, feels like rain.
An excuse for dying, reason to live.
And if you don't know, that's what love is. Love is.

That's love.
The only thing that can bring you up or break you down. That's love.
Whether the sun up in your sky or the darkest clouds.
That's love. And we need it.
That's love. And we need it. That's love.
whoo, ask anybody how it feels

And it feels like joy, and it feels like pain.
And it feels like sunshine, feels like rain.
An excuse for dying, reason to live.
And if you don't know, that's what love is. Love is.

And it feels like joy (joy), and it
feels like pain (pain).
And it feels like sunshine, feels like rain.
An excuse for dying (oh), reason to live (oh).
And if you don't know, that's what love is. Love is.
