美國黑人巨星［狄昂華薇克］──迪斯可／靈魂流行曲──［Keepin’ My Head Above Water／繼續讓我的頭留在水上］

Once I was content living alone

Building a wall around my heart

With no one to be responsible to

Love can upset your appetite

Why do I

Keep reaching out to see if youre there

Whos this guy

Got me sitting on the edge of my chair

Im barely keeping my head above water

Fighting for control of my mind

Oh, I just cant believe

That loves got me in a bind

You see, Im keeping my head above water

Like I always swore that I would

But when loves got you, girl

Its got you, baby, for good

Life used to be fine

I would wake up

Only one coffee cup to fill

Simple and free

No one bothering me

I was a one man band until

You came in

And nothings ever been quite the same

You came in

And now I cant remeber my name

Im barely keeping my head above water

Fighting for control of my mind

Oh, I just cant believe

That loves got me in a bind

You see, Im keeping my head above water

Like I always swore that I would

But when loves got you, girl

Its got you, baby, for good

Oh, Im keeping my head above water

Fighting for control of my mind

Oh, I just cant believe

That loves got me in a bind

You see, Im keeping my head above water

Like I always swore that I would

But when loves got you, hey

Its got you for good

１９７２年　美國黑人流行歌姬狄昂華薇克（Dionne Warwick）與華納唱片簽約

只是少了音樂導師Burt Bacharach, Hal David的指引

事業陷入低潮

除與The Spinners合唱的［Then Came You］拿到美國單曲榜冠軍外Ｚｚｚ８　１發行的專輯, 單曲表現皆不佳

１９７７年　３６歲半的狄昂華薇克發行大碟［Love at First Sight］, 這是她跟華納唱片最後一張合約

專輯由暢銷曲製作組合Steve Barri&Michael Omartian 製作

曲風偏向流行／靈魂

首支主打［Do You Believe in Love at First Sight］沒入榜

第二單曲為［Keepin’ My Head Above Water／繼續讓我的頭在水上］

由Dennis Lambert& Brian Porter譜寫, 被製作成一首具有迪斯可味的靈魂／流行曲

旋律討巧, 節拍輕快

可是大眾反應仍舊冷淡, 並無入榜

專輯三首單曲皆沒出現在排行榜　導致［Love at First Sight］的命運亦然

這是１９６４年後華薇克的原創大碟首度沒打入Billboard專輯榜或（副榜）靈魂榜

幸好１９７９年　狄昂改與Arista唱片簽約

以專輯〔Dionne〕與單曲〔I’ll Never Love This Way Again〕成功東山再起  重振聲勢
