Singer : First recorded by The Everly Brothers(1960)
1. 前幾天在家聽到這首歌,是Elaine Paige的版本,很有印象,我大概以前也聽過這melody! 之後我便找關於這歌的資料,歌詞實在寫得太好,完全感動到我,決定為它寫blog!
2. Elaine Paige我是80s第一次聽到她的名字,相信是因為她唱過"Memory"(from "Cats"),而之後極喜歡她與Barbara Dickson合唱的"I Know Him So Well"(from "Chess")(其實此歌曾被改編為王雅文的廣東版叫"別讓我步過"),得知她曾參與多齣Musical演出及演唱!
3. 原來此歌自1960年首次出版以來,不斷被翻唱,而且都是成名的歌手,大部份也唱功了得,也許這歌能令歌手的唱功及感情也能好好發揮吧!而此歌最受歡迎的版本是由一隊70s的Rock Band "Nazareth"於1975年唱出!
4. 翻唱過的歌手還有: Roy Orbison, Cher, Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris, The Who, Jennifer Warnes, Don McLean, Joan Jett, Kim Carnes, Paul Young, Heart, Pat Boone, Emmylou Harris, Sinéad O'Connor, Bee Gee Robin Gibb, Keith Richards and Norah Jones, Rod Stewart, etc,真係粒粒皆星!
5. 在youtube聽了很多不同版本,柔版與澎湃版真的聽出不同味道!
6. Lyrics:
Love hurts, love scars,
Love wounds and mars,
Any heart, not tough,
Or strong enough
To take a lot of pain,
Take a lot of pain
Love is like a cloud
Holds a lot of rain
Love hurts, ooh ooh love hurts
I'm young, I know,
But even so
I know a thing, or two
I learned from you
I really learned a lot,
Really learned a lot
Love is like a fire
It burns you when it's hot
Love hurts, ooh ooh love hurts
Some fools think of happiness
Blissfulness, togetherness
Some fools fool themselves I guess
They're not foolin' me
I know it isn't true,
I know it isn't true
Love is just a lie,
Made to make you blue
Love hurts, ooh,ooh love hurts
Ooh,ooh love hurts
I know it isn't true,
I know it isn't true
Love is just a lie,
Made to make you blue
Love hurts, ooh ooh love hurts
Ooh ooh love hurts
Ooh ooh
