"Meat Loaf" 雖然他的火紅不是我的年代,但我仍為他唱出的靈魂而著迷!

很多人以為『肉塊』是個合唱團,這並不正確,因為那其實是一個有著自己樂隊班底的男歌手。

『肉塊』的本名叫做marvin lee aday,1947年的九月二十七日出生於德州的達拉斯,體重超過三百磅,簡直是個龐然大物。由於從小就是這種體型,他的福音歌手父親在他十三歲那年給他取了個『肉塊』的外
號,從此這個有點奇特的名字,就跟他密不可分,甚至成為他的藝名。1966 年組的第一個樂團名為 Meat Loaf Soul,由於 Meat Loaf 獨特的音域及雄混的聲音,立刻引起注意。名與利並未給 Meat Loaf 帶來好運,接下來的十年之中,Meat Loaf 一度因為聲帶問題無法再演唱,因而違約賠光家產還負債累累,Meat Loaf 甚至靠吸毒渡日,樂壇上從此少了這號人物。終於,肉條在妻子及小孩的鼓勵下,戒掉毒癮,變賣掉所有家產,找回當年合作伙伴,一部旅行車,橫越美國,在小酒吧中巡迴演唱,找回失落已久的歌迷。肉條這時聲帶的問題也逐漸獲得解決,雖然在團員中對於音樂風格起了極大爭執,不過為了生活,還是一站一站的唱下去,終於在 1993 年,以這曲 I 'll do anything for love 贏得葛萊美大獎。Meat Loaf 的努力也於 1999 年收入名人堂,而 Meat Loaf 再奮起的故事,也被拍成電影。

Bon Jovi - In These Arms

Bon Jovi - In These Arms Lyrics You want commitment, and take a look into these eyes. They burn with fire, Yeah, until the end of time. And I would do anything, I'd beg, I'd steal, I'd die to have you in theses arms tonight. Baby I want you like the roses want the rain, You know I need you like a poet needs the pain. And I would give anything. My blood, my love, my life. If you were in these arms tonight. I'd hold you, I'd need you, I'd get down on my knees for you. And make everything alright, If you were in these arms. I'd love you, I'd please you, I'd tell you that I'd never leave you. And love you till the end of time, if you were in these arms tonight. Oh, yeah. We stare at the sun, and we made a promise. A promise this world would never blind us. And these were our words. Our words were our songs. Our songs are our prayers. These prayers keep me strong, and I still believe. If you were in these arms. I'd hold you, I'd need you, I...
