美國歌壇舞后〔寶拉阿巴杜〕--美國冠軍名曲──倡導環保觀念的〔The Promise Of A New Day〕
〔The Promises Of A New Day〕
(P. Lord / S. St. Victor / V.J. Smith / P. Abdul)
Eagle's calling
and he's calling your name
Tides are turning bringing winds of change
Why do I feel this way
The promise of a new day
Chorus:
The promise
The promise of a new day
as thru time
the earth moves
under my feet
one step closer
to make love complete
what has the final say
the promise of a new day
And so time over time
what will change the world
no one knows
so the only promise
is a day to live, to give
and share with one another
see the wisdom
from mistakes in our past
hear the younger
generation ask
why do I feel this way
the promise of a new day
Chorus
And so time over time
what will change the world
no one knows
so the only promise
is a day to live, to give
and share with one another
repeat song
1991年夏天 繼首支超成功的五週冠軍〔Rush , Rush〕後
歌壇天后寶拉阿巴杜(Paula Abdul)推出〔Spellbound/意亂情迷〕第二首主打〔The Promise Of A New Day〕
這是一首旋律討好 節奏輕快的Dance-Pop
此曲得到美國流行榜冠軍 成人抒情榜#29
在加拿大也表現良好 拿到寶拉第六首冠軍
國紀市場表現略為遜色 分別是英國榜#52 澳洲#31 德國#86 愛爾蘭#11
至於MV則選在夏威夷拍攝
寶拉與身材健美的男女舞群在森林 農田 瀑布 海邊 湖泊間勁舞
不知這是不是要宣揚環保觀念
不過〔The Promise Of A New Day〕也引起爭議
因為鏡頭上嬌小豐腴的寶拉身體被拉得頗為修長
阿巴杜後來解釋這是為了讓伴舞看起來更靠近的特技效果
以前在〔Spellbound〕大碟中
個人最喜歡的就是這曲旋律迷人的〔The Promise Of A New Day〕
推出這支精彩的Remix MV給各位
