Kenny Rogers -You and I

  今天來介紹一首Kenny Rogers專輯《Eyes That See In The Dark》當中歌迷們不能錯過的歌"You and I"。

《Eyes That See In The Dark》於1983年9月底推出，製作人是Bee Gees的團員Barry Gibb，在Billboard 專輯排行榜最高獲得第6名。

這張專輯是Barry Gibb第三張非Bee Gees的專輯，其中大部分的歌都是Barry Gibb所寫的，曲風很有Kenny Rogers 1960年代後期在 Kenny Rogers & the First Edition.合唱團時的味道。

Barry Gibb 完成他監製Dionne Warwick 的the Heartbreaker 專輯後，Kenny Rogers和他碰面，Rogers跟Barry要了幾首歌，包括標題歌曲"Eyes That See In The Dark "，Barry於1982年底寫過幾首歌，1983初試錄過，當時Barry Gibb正和Bee Gees錄電影「周末的狂熱續集」Staying Alive的插曲，Barry抽空錄了試唱帶給Rogers，Rogers收到後於1983年5月開始錄《Eyes That See In The Dark》這張專輯。

《Eyes That See In The Dark》當中 "Islands in the Stream" (他與 Dolly Parton合唱)獲得2週排行榜冠軍，在數位下載統計獲得金唱片，"This Woman"則獲得第23名，"You and I"這首歌雖然沒有推出單曲，但卻廣受歌迷歡迎，當年在電台經常可以聽到。

  如果從聽歌的次數來算，Bee Gees是我最喜歡的合唱團，Kenny Rogers & the First Edition.正是1960年代後期與Bee Gees同時期我喜歡的其它合唱團之一， 1970年代後期Kenny Rogers個人在歌壇開始有卓越的表現，使我更喜歡他的歌，Kenny Rogers和Barry Gibb在 Eyes That See In The Dark 專輯中的歌可以聽到他模仿Bee Gees早年在歌曲中抖音的唱腔，很有意思。

You and I

Songwriters: Barry Gibb / Maurice Ernest Gibb / Robin Hugh Gibb

 

All the man I am
You are the reason for me
You help me understand
I'll be your shelter from rain
That never ends
Girl, you've always got a friend in me
All the love we had
I should've known our love
Was older than the past
Throwing my life away on songs I never heard
Just the speaking of a special word
I made you die inside, but you loved me
And don't believe the word
No the word can't give us paradise
When you make your love to me
Till I just could not see the light
As long as I got you
As long as you got me
As long as we got you and I
I won't let you down
No better love will be there
When you turn around
I'll be living for you till the oceans turn to sand
There will never be any man
Could love you just the say
That I love you
So don't believe the word
No the world cant't give us paradise
In the eye within the storm
When I just could not make it through the night
As long as I got you, as long as you got me
As long as we got you and I
