瑞典國寶〔羅克賽／Roxette〕──愛情喜劇經典〔麻雀變鳳凰〕電影主題曲──美國冠軍經典──浪漫的〔It Must Have Been Love／一定是愛〕




Lay a whisper on my pillow,
leave the winter on the ground.
I wake up lonely,
there's air of silence
in the bedroom and all around.
Touch me now,
I close my eyes
and dream away.

It must have been love but it's over now.
It must have been good but I lost it somehow.
It must have been love but it's over now.
From the moment we touched 'til the time had run out.

Make-believing we're together,
that I'm sheltered by your heart.
But in and outside I've turned to water
like a teardrop in your palm.
And it's a hard winter's day,
I dream away.

It must have been love but it's over now,
it was all that I wanted, now I'm living without.
It must have been love but it's over now,
it's where the water flows,
it's where the wind blows.,

１９９０年春天　茱莉亞蘿勃茲（Julia Roberts）與李察吉爾（Richard Gere）主演的浪漫喜劇〔麻雀變鳳凰／Pretty Woman〕在大賣

在美創下近１億７８００萬美元（年度票房亞軍　冠軍則是黛咪摩兒（Demi Moore）的〔第六感生死戀／Ghost〕全球４億６３００萬美元的驚人票房

也將讓茱莉亞拱上一線地位　成為９０年代首席票房女星
從此鳳凰女(Pretty Woman)>便是她的代名詞
〔麻雀變鳳凰／Pretty Woman〕原聲帶也是眾星雲集

EMI公司也要求旗下的瑞典熱門男女雙人組羅克賽（Roxette）獻唱一曲

由於後者正在澳洲與紐西蘭巡迴　時間不夠

男團員Per便將１９８７年所寫　打入瑞典單曲榜Top１０的聖誕歌曲〔Christmas for the Broken Hearted／傷心人的聖誕節〕交差

卻被〔麻雀變鳳凰〕婉拒　要求另一首作品

但Per拒絕製作其它歌曲

幾個禮拜後　那名製片有跟羅克賽要那首歌曲　前提是拿掉裡面關於聖誕節的歌詞

Per答應了  與製作人做了些修改  讓Marie重新灌錄

便成了〔It Must Have Been Love／一定是愛〕

〔It Must Have Been Love／一定是愛〕是一首流行化的抒情搖滾
在搖曳柔緩的節奏中　女主唱Marie慢慢演繹出這首優美的旋律

５月發行後　在１９９０年夏天得到美國流行榜兩週冠軍（年終亞軍）
成人抒情榜亞軍　銷售金唱片（＞５０萬張）　是羅克賽最成功的歌曲

在英國拿到＃３　也是他們在當地最受歡迎的單曲

１９９３年重新發行時還登上＃１０
由於電影的推波助瀾　在世界各地均非常暢銷：

澳洲＆挪威冠軍　奧地利＃３　德國＆瑞典＆＃４　愛爾蘭＃４　瑞士＃２７

雖然羅克賽好聽的佳作甚多　但我對〔It Must Have Been Love〕的感覺一向中等

不過我妹妹倒是相當喜歡此曲　有時聽到我有點煩

當然現在改觀不少了
Anyway, MV是以羅克賽的演唱與電影的畫面剪輯而成
看過電影的人可以藉MV回憶一下這部當年大紅特紅的電影情節
推薦這首抒情經典之作給各位
