午夜的天堂酒吧

雷鬼絕對是屬於夏天的音樂。

度過了熱的像7月的5月天之後
6月的第一天，竟然是颳風、下雨又冷到不行
活像回到了12月的天氣
天氣不好，加上找工作的煩悶
整個人的心情也盪到了谷底
這時，突然想起Ali Campbell的這首That Look In Your Eyes

分別在80年代以及90年代各以一首Red Red Wine和
翻唱貓王的Can't Help Falling In Love With You拿下英美單曲榜冠軍
UB40雷鬼樂壇上的表現可說相當亮眼
而主唱Ali Campbell也在1995年發行個人專輯Big Love
這張專輯基本上幾乎都是沿用UB40的班底，所以風格變化不大
首支單曲便是這首和Pamela Starks合唱的That Look In Your Eyes
搖擺的雷鬼曲風當中訴說的濃濃的情意，聽起來相當舒服
這首歌在英國也順利拿下單曲榜第五名的成績，算是不錯

我很喜歡這首歌的MV，可惜當年的單曲不流行放video
所以我買的單曲CD只有收錄這首歌和一首b-side
我最喜歡的是MV中男女主角的沙子和綠地相互交錯的感覺
雖然一看就知道是電腦動畫，不過我還蠻喜歡這個創意的
而且和歌曲內容情境也相當搭



Ali Campbell & Pamela Starks / That Look In Your Eyes

Show me a girl peace and harmony in her heart
When things go wrong there will be no falling apart
One who understands, that things aren't always gonna go right and
I'll show you a man who can show you the light

Show me a boy when the burden's on his shoulder
As time goes on seems to only make him bolder
Then I met you. Something that I can't explain
This feeling that I get is like I'm going insane

It's that look in your eyes, that say you love me
And all the silly things that you do
Those feelings that I get from the stars above me
Tells me you're for me And I'm the one for you

Hey, I thank you baby
I thank you baby I thank you

Show me a girl that can make me feel better
With a kiss sealed inside a perfumed letter
One who understands, when the tour is six months long,
And waiting with open arms, 'cos it's been too long

Show me a boy whose loving that I'm missing
Who can be there when I need someone to listen
One who keeps in mind that I should never be alone
Because I'll be there even if it's by telephone

It's that look in your eyes, that say you love me
And all the silly things that you do
Those feelings that I get when ever you're near me
Tells me you're for me And I'm the one for you

Yeah, I thank you baby I thank you baby
Yeah, I thank you baby
