美國影歌雙棲巨星〔雪兒〕──流行搖滾佳作──〔Heart of Stone／鐵石心腸〕

Songwriters: HILL, ALEXANDER / WALLER, THOMAS FATS

Beneath the white fire of the moon
Loves wings are broken all too soon
We never learn
Hurt together, hurt alone
Dont you sometimes wish your heart was a heart of stone?

We turn the wheel and break the chain
Put steel to steel and laugh at pain
Were dreamers in castles made of sand
The road to Edens overgrown
Dont you sometimes wish your heart was made of stone?

Look at the headlines:

BIG CROWD AT THE CRAZY HOUSE
LONG QUEUE FOR THE JOKERS SHOES
TEN ROUNDS IN THE RING WITH LOVE

Do you lose and win, or win and lose?
Sweet rain like mercy in the night
(Lay me down, wash away the sorrow)
Caress my soul and set it right
(Lay me down, show me your tomorrow)
Summer tears, winter and the moments flown
Dont you sometimes wish your heart was made of stone?
Mercy, mercy, wish your heart was a heart of stone

Get the picture?

NO ROOM FOR THE INNOCENT
PEAK SEASON IN LONELY TOWN
KNOCKED OUT OF THE RING BY LOVE

Are you down and up, or up and down?
I ask the river for a sign
(In a dream, we go on together)
How long is love supposed to shine?
(In a dream, diamonds are forever)
But you and I, were hurt together, hurt alone
Dont you sometimes wish your heart was a heart of stone?
Mercy, mercy, wish your heart was a heart of stone
(With a heart of stone, youll be well protected)
Dont you sometimes wish your heart was made of stone?
(With a heart of stone, youll be well connected)
Mercy, mercy, wish your heart was a heart of stone
(With a heart of stone, youll be well protected)
Dont you sometimes wish your heart was made of stone?
(With a heart of stone, youll be well connected)
Mercy, mercy, wish your heart was a heart of stone (fade)

１９９０年初　４３歲的美國影歌雙棲巨星雪兒（Cher）發行〔Heart of Stone／鐵石心腸〕專輯的同名歌曲為第四主打

此曲原是１９８８年秋天英國流行團體Bucks Fizz原唱（UK＃20）

新版由彼得艾雪（Peter Asher）製作（兩者灌錄時間只差一個月）

在雪兒低沉渾實的中性嗓音與豐厚的合聲組成這首流行搖滾

〔Heart of Stone〕登上美國單曲榜＃２０　成為專輯第四首Top２０熱門曲（＆成人抒情榜＃３０）

這也是她事業單曲表現最佳的大碟

另外拿到英國＃４３　德國＃２３　愛爾蘭＃２４　加拿大＃２６

MV則是雪兒在一處播放她演出鏡頭的黑色房間內高歌

這是〔Heart of Stone〕大碟最後一首主打

四首成功的單曲讓專輯在美國賣出三白金　成為雪兒最暢銷的大碟

也讓她首度在英國拿到白金唱片
