英國歌壇紅星［瑞克艾斯里］乘勝追擊之作──舞曲流行──［Whenever You Need Somebody／當你需要某人］

Ill bring my love to you

Ill bring my love to you

Ive been stood up messed around

And taken for a fool

But next time round

Im gonna change the rules

And I dont care about the things that people say

Its you I think about each and everyday

Its much too late for you to change your ways

I cant keep holding on expecting you to stay

When youre all alone and if youre feeling down

Call me, Ill be around

Whenever you need somebody

Ill bring my love to you

You dont have to say you love me

I just want to be with you

Lost inside your love is where I want to be

Im just asking you to spend some time with me

Time and time you say you want to be free

And you can have some fun thats okay with me

You will never know just how good I feel

The joy inside of me makes me feel so real

When youre all alone and if youre feeling down

Call me, Ill be around

Whenever you need somebody

Ill bring my love to you

You dont have to say you love me

I just want to be with you

[Repeat: x2]

Ill bring my love to you

I just want to be with you

Its much too late for you to change your ways

I cant keep holding on expecting you to stay

When youre all alone and if youre feeling down

Call me, Ill be around

Whenever you need somebody

Ill bring my love to you

You dont have to say you love me

I just want to be with you

[Chorus: x2]

Songwriters: MIKE STOCK, MATT AITKEN, PETER WATERMAN

１９８７夏天　英國歌手瑞克艾斯里（Rick Astley）以Stock Aitken Waterman製作的首支單曲［Never Gonna Give You Up］登上英國榜五週冠軍（１９８７年度銷售冠軍）　一砲而紅

瑞克隨即投入首張大碟的灌錄

１９８７年１０月　在發行專輯前夕

RCA唱片先出版第二單曲──也是大碟同名歌曲的［Whenever You Need Somebody／當你需要某人］熱身

此曲由Stock Aitken Waterman譜寫

１９８５年先由英國女歌手歐琪布朗（O’Chi Brown）　由Stock Aitken Waterman製作

艾斯里版亦由Stock Aitken Waterman製作

是首Dance-Pop, 風格與［Never Gonna Give You Up］類似

在瑞克低沉渾厚嗓音的詮釋下, 動聽迷人

［Whenever You Need Somebody］在各地反應熱烈：

英國榜＃３（１９８７年終＃２６）

德國榜冠軍（１９８８年終＃２８）

瑞典／瑞士冠軍　西班牙／荷蘭／挪威亞軍　澳洲／愛爾蘭＃３　奧地利＃４　紐西蘭＃９　法國＃１１

［Whenever You Need Somebody］的熱門證實瑞克的人氣並非曇花一現

讓隨後出版的專輯登上英國榜冠軍　賣出四白金（１２０萬張＋, １９８７年終＃７）

其它地區也創下佳績
