The Doobie Brothers-What a Fool Believes

  鄉村歌星Luke Bryan在HBO 與 HBO Max特別節目中透露 : 搖滾樂團The Doobie Brothers將進入搖滾樂名人堂。

  搖滾樂名人堂的活動原來安排五月時在克里夫蘭舉行，但因新冠肺炎流行而延期到11月舉行，而且改為虛擬的頒發典禮。

  Bryan 說 : "自童年時初次聽到 Doobie Brothers的歌就很喜歡他們，我曾有機會和他們同台演唱，我很老實地說他們是很棒的幾個老兄和音樂人"，2011年Bryan在美國付費電視CMT的 "CMT Crossroads" 節目中和Doobie Brothers一起演出，這個節目主要就是推廣鄉村音樂。

  他補充說明 : " The Doobies是美國代表性合唱團之一，永遠和我們在一起，錄製很棒的音樂，常常在電台現場演出精彩的節目"。

  Pop-Rock流行搖滾樂團The Doobie Brothers  1970年代初期成立於加州聖荷西，主唱吉他手Patrick Simmons與Tom Johnston，1975年鍵琴手Michael McDonald加入也擔任主唱，他們於1972年以Listen To The Music(#11)成名，1979年以冠軍曲What A Fool Believe獲得Grammy年度歌曲、唱片獎。

    The Doobie Brothers五十年的歌唱生涯，在1970年代發亮、發光，他們在歷年暢銷歌星與合唱團排行榜獲得第153名。

What a Fool Believes

Songwriters: Kenny Loggins / Michael McDonald

 

He came from somewhere back in her long ago

The sentimental fool don't see trying hard to recreate

What had yet to be created once in her life

She musters a smile for his nostalgic tale

Never coming near what he wanted to say

Only to realize

It never really was

She had a place in his life

He never made her think twice

As he rises to her apology

Anybody else would surely know

He's watching her go

But what a fool believes he sees

No wise man has the power to reason away

What seems to be

Is always better than nothing

And nothing at all keeps sending him

Somewhere back in her long ago

Where he can still believe there's a place in her life

Someday, somewhere, she will return

She had a place in his life

He never made her think twice

As he rises to her apology

Anybody else would surely know

He's watching her go

But what a fool believes he sees

No wise man has the power to reason away

What seems to be (if love can come and love can go, then why can't love return once more?)

Is always better than nothing (fool's got the power)

There's nothing at all (oh, now)

But what a fool believes he sees (i believe she's never gone away)

No wise man has the power

To reason away (to reason away)

What seems to be (oh, if love can come and love can go, oh, mama)

Is always better than nothing (better than nothing)

And nothing at all
