Bryan Adams-All for Love

   Bryan Adams將在加拿大的Grammy獎the Juno awards角逐三個獎項，這一位退休搖滾歌手被提名年度藝人、年度最佳專輯、和年度抒情搖滾專輯獎，他去年（2019）曾經再度推出専輯Shine a Light。
  Adams在Juno獎的受到肯定並不令人意外，他其實在長期的歌唱生涯中已經得到18個獎，僅管他上次得獎是在2000年，當時他是獲得最佳男歌星獎。
  同時，已故詩歌手Leonard Cohen也以生前的作品Thanks for the Dance提名另類年度抒情専輯獎。
  今年得到最多提名的藝人是Alesia Cara，一片有六個獎項，Cara也是今年頒獎典禮的主持人，這個典禮三月15日將在Saskatchewan省Saskatoon市的Sasktel中心舉行，到時會有加拿大現場直播和網路串流服務。
  Bryan Adams 1959年出生於加拿大Ontario的Kinston，在歷年暢銷歌星排行榜獲得第67名，他是1980和1990年代走紅的搖滾樂手，Adams 1993年與二位英國大牌歌星Rod Stewart及Sting合唱的All For Love曾經獲得三週排行榜冠軍，是一個很難得的組合，這首歌是凱文柯斯納主演的電影Prince of Thieves 「俠盜王子羅賓漢」的插曲

All for Love
Bryan Adams
Songwriters: Lange Robert John / Adams Bryan / Kamen Michael Arnold

When it's love you give
(I'll be a man of good faith.
Then in love you live.
I'll make a stand. I won't break.
I'll be the rock you can build on,
Be there when you're old,
To have and to hold.
When there's love inside
I swear I'll always be strong.
And there's a reason why.
I'll prove to you we belong.
I'll be the wall that protects you
From the wind and the rain,
From the hurt and the pain.
Let's make it all for one and all for love.
Let the one you hold be the one you want,
The one you need,
'Cause when it's all for one it's one for all.
When there's someone that should know
Then just let your feelings show
And make it all for one and all for love.
When it's love you make
I'll be the firein your night.
Then it's love you take.
I will defend, I will fight.
I'll be there when you need me.
When honor's at stake,
This vow I will make:
That it's all for one and all for love.
Let the one you hold be the one you want,
The one you need
'Cause when it's all for one it's one for all.
When there's someone that should know
Then just let your feelings show
And make it all for one and all for love.
Don't lay our love to rest
'Cause we could stand up to the test.
We got everything and more than we had planned,
More than the rivers that run the land.
We've got it all in our hands.
Now it's all for one and all for love.
It's all for love.
Let the one you hold be the one you want,
The one you need,
'Cause when it's all for one it's one for all.
It's one for all.
When there's someone that should know
Then just let your feelings show.
When there's someone that you want,
When there's someone that you need
Let's make it all, all for one and all for love

9 to 5

 Songwriters: Dolly Parton

Tumble outta bed and I stumble to the kitchen
Pour myself a cup of ambition
Yawn and stretch and try to come to life
Jump in the shower and the blood starts pumpin'
Out on the street the traffic starts jumpin'
With folks like me on the job from 9 to 5

Workin' 9 to 5, what a way to make a livin'
Barely gettin' by, it's all takin' and no givin'
They just use your mind and they never give you credit
It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it
9 to 5, for service and devotion
You would think that I would deserve a fat promotion
Want to move ahead but the boss won't seem to let me
I swear sometimes that man is out to get me!

They let you dream just to watch 'em shatter
You're just a step on the boss-man's ladder
But you got dreams he'll never take away
You're in the same boat with a lotta your friends
Waitin' for the day your ship'll come in
An' the tide's gonna turn and it's all gonna roll your way

Workin' 9 to 5, what a way to make a livin'
Barely gettin' by, it's all takin' and no givin'
They just use your mind and you never get the credit
It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it
9 to 5, yeah they got you where they want you
There's a better life, and you dream about it, don't you?
It's a rich man's game no matter what they call it
And you spend your life puttin' money in his wallet

9 to 5, whoa what a way to make a livin'
Barely gettin' by, it's all takin' and no givin'
They just use your mind and they never give you credit
It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it

9 to 5, yeah they got you where they want you
There's a better life, and you dream about it, don't you?
It's a rich man's game no matter what they call it
And you spend your life puttin' money in his wallet

9 to 5, working 9 to 5

Meat Loaf-Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad

  Meat Loaf告德克薩斯州的飯店，因為出席面對歌迷活動時他摔下台受傷。  

  Meat Loaf 在去年(2019)五月參加節目問答單元的時候從舞台上摔下台，已經對德克薩斯飯店和〈周末德州驚夢會〉the Texas Frightmare Weekend convention節目的主辦人展開法律訴訟。

  「法庭新聞服務」報導：Meat Loaf 和他太太Deborah提告位於達拉斯國際機場Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport的海悅飯店the Hyatt Regency和節目主辦人，宣稱兩方要為這個意外的過失負責，訴狀指控摔下台讓Meat Loaf陸續傷到脖子、頸圈骨及肩膀，害他在醫院治療了42天。

  元月13日這個案子已經在德州地方法院立案，這位歌手還要繼續治療，他已經無法再表演，造成他財務上損失慘重。

  Meat Loaf指控被告在舞台上掛起簾幕，遮蔽了舞台邊緣，因此造成了一個陷阱，導致暗藏的危險。

  海悅飯店的發言人對訴訟進行中的案子不願表示意見。

    Meat Loaf是Marvin Lee的藝名，他於1947年九月出生於德州達拉斯，原來是一位劇場搖滾歌手，後來在Ted Nugent的專輯Free-For-All擔任主唱而出名，他也在洛杉磯劇作電影The Rocky Horror Picture Show《洛基恐怖秀》演Eddie，還在其它幾部電影裡客串演出過。

     Meat Loaf 1977年非常受歡迎的專輯Bat Out of Hell中的"Two Out of Three Ain't Bad"曾獲得Billboard Hot 100排行榜第11名，後來在網路下載量統計獲得白金唱片。

Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad

Songwriters: Jim Steinman

Baby we can talk all night

But that ain't getting us nowhere

I told you everything I possibly can

There's nothing left inside of here

And maybe you can cry all night

But that'll never change the way that I feel

The snow is really piling up outside

I wish you wouldn't make me leave here

I poured it on and I poured it out

I tried to show you just how much I care

I'm tired of words and I'm too hoarse to shout

But you've been cold to me so long

I'm crying icicles instead of tears

And all I can do is keep on telling you

I want you (I want you)

I need you (I need you)

But there ain't no way I'm ever gonna love you

Now don't be sad (Don't be sad)

'Cause two out of three ain't bad

Now don't be sad (Cause)

'Cause two out of three ain't bad

You'll never dig for gold on a sandy beach

You'll never drill for oil on a city street

I know you're looking for a ruby in a mountain of rock

But there ain't no Coupe de Ville

Hiding at the bottom of a Cracker Jack box

I can't lie

I can't tell you that I'm something I'm not

No matter how I try

I'll never be able

To give you something

Something that I just haven't got

There's only one girl that I will ever love

And that was so many years ago

And though I know I'll never get her out of my heart

She never loved me back

Ooh I know

Well I remember how she left me on a stormy night

She kissed me and got out of our bed

And though I pleaded and I begged her not to walk out that door

She packed her bags and turned right away

And she kept on telling me

She kept on telling me

She kept on telling me

I want you (I want you)

I need you (I need you)

But there ain't no way I'm ever gonna love you

Now don't be sad (Don't be sad)

'Cause two out of three ain't bad

I want you (I want you)

I need you (I need you)

But there ain't no way I'm ever gonna love you

Now don't be sad (Don't be sad)

'Cause two out of three ain't bad

Now don't be sad (Don't)

'Cause two out of three ain't bad

Baby we can talk all night

But that ain't getting us nowhere

Can't Fight This Feeling

REO Speedwagon

Songwriters: Kevin Patrick Cronin

Oh, I can’t fight this feeling any longer
And yet I'm still afraid to let it flow
What started out this friendship has grown stronger
I only wish I had the strength to let it show

I tell myself that I can't hold out forever
I said there is no reason for my fear
'Cause I feel so secure when we're together
You give my life direction
You make everything so clear

And even as I wander
I'm keeping you in sight
You're a candle in the window
On a cold, dark winter's night
And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might

And I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
It's time to bring this ship into the shore
And throw away the oars, forever

'Cause I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
And if I have to crawl upon the floor
Come crushing through your door
Baby, I can't fight this feeling anymore

My life has been such a whirlwind since I saw you
I've been running around in circles in my mind
And it always seems that I'm following you, girl
'Cause you take me to the places
That alone I'd never find

And even as I wander
I'm keeping you in sight
You're a candle in the window
On a cold, dark winter's night
And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might

And I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
It's time to bring this ship into the shore
And throw away the oars, forever

'Cause I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
And if I have to crawl upon the floor
Come crashing through your door
Baby, I can't fight this feeling anymore

Take Me Home Tonight

Songwriters: Ellie Greenwich / Jeff Barry / Michael David Leeson / Peter Benson Vale / Phillip Spector

I feel the hunger, it's a hunger
That tries to keep a man awake at night
Are you the answer? I shouldn't wonder
When I can feel you whet my appetite
With all the power you're releasing
It isn't safe to walk the city streets alone
Anticipation runs through me
Let's find the keys and turn this engine on

I can feel you breathe
I can feel your heart beat faster

Take me home tonight
I don't wanna let you go 'til you see the light
Take me home tonight
Listen, honey, just like Ronnie sang
Be my little baby, oh, ho, oh

I get frightened in all this darkness
I get nightmares I hate to sleep alone
I need some company, a guardian angel
To keep me warm when the cold winds blow

I can feel you breathe
I can feel your heart beat faster

Take me home tonight
I don't wanna let you go 'til you see the light
Take me home tonight
Listen, honey, just like Ronnie sang
Be my little baby
Be my little baby

Just like Ronnie sang
I said
Just like Ronnie sang
Be my little baby
Baby, my darlin'

I feel the hunger
It's a hunger

Take me home tonight
I don't wanna let you go 'til you see the light
Take me home tonight
Listen, honey, just like Ronnie sang
Be my little baby (take me home tonight)

I don't wanna let you go 'til you see the light
Take me home tonight
Listen, honey, just like Ronnie sang
Be my little baby (take me home tonight)
Be my darling (let you go 'til you see the light)
Take me home tonight
Listen, honey, just like Ronnie sang
Be my little baby (take me home tonight)
I don't wanna let you go 'til you see the light
