美國歌壇天后［琳達朗絲黛］──鄉村搖滾／流行抒情曲──［Someone to Lay Down Beside Me／有人躺在我身邊］

Theres somebody waiting alone in the street

For someone to walk up and greet

Here you are all alone in the city

Wheres the love that you took to your side

Lonely faces will stare through your eyes in the night

And theyll say

Woman sweet woman

Please come home with me

Youre shining and willing and free

But your love is a common occurrence

Not like love that I feel in my heart

Still you know that may be what I need

Is someone to lay down beside me

And even though its not real

Just someone to lay down beside me

Youre the story of my life

Someone to lay down beside me

And even though its not real

Just someone to lay down beside me

Youre the story of my life

The morning is breaking

The street lights are off

The sun will soon share all the cost

Of a world that can be sort of heartless

Not like love that I feel in my heart

Still you know that may be all youll get

Is someone to lay down beside you

And even though its not real

Just someone to lay down beside you

You just cant ask for more

１９７６年８月　３０歲的美國歌壇搖滾天后琳達．朗絲黛（Linda Ronstadt）推出第七張個人大碟〔Hasten Down The Wind〕（Asylum Records發行）

由英籍彼得．艾雪（Peter Asher）製作　登上美國Billboard專輯榜＃３（鄉村榜冠軍）　成為歌壇首位三度拿下白金唱片的女歌手

樂評亦佳, 隔年為她拿下第二座葛萊美獎──最佳流行女歌手

１９７６年１１月，琳達推出第二單曲［Someone to Lay Down Beside Me／有人躺在我身邊］

由美國猶太裔創作歌手卡拉．波諾夫（Karla Bonoff）創作，

波諾夫是一位嶄露頭角的創作歌手。朗絲黛聽到了另一首博諾夫歌曲［Lose Again］的小樣，促使她想聽更多博諾夫的曲目。

隨後，朗絲黛收到了［Someone to Lay Down Beside Me］。

［Someone to Lay Down Beside Me］對這首歌印象深刻，選擇錄製它．

歌詞主題是一個人需要有高品質的浪漫關係，而不是有一個可以滿足孤獨感的人。

彼得．艾雪（Peter Asher）製作成一首鄉村搖滾／流行抒情曲

在緩慢的節奏與鋼琴聲中，朗絲黛的嗓音從輕柔到激昂，款款動人．

［Someone to Lay Down Beside Me］登上美國Billboard單曲榜＃４２　

副榜──成人當代榜＃３８

加拿大單曲榜＃５８　加拿大成人當代榜＃３７
