Writer: CASON, BUZZ/GAYDEN, MAC
He wasnt looking for a pretty face
She wasnt searching for the latest style
He didnt want someone who walked straight off the TV
She needed someone with an interior smile
She wasnt looking for a cuddle in the back seat
He wasnt looking for a five minute thrill
She wasnt thinking of tomorrow or of next week
This vacancy he meant to permanently fill
I need an everlasting love
I need a friend and a lover divine
An everlasting precious love
Wait for it, wait for it, give it some time
Back in the world of disposable emotion
In the climate of temporary dreams
He wasnt looking for a notch on his bedpost
A love to push, pull and burst at the seams
This is love worth waiting for
Something special, something pure
This is love worth waiting for
Bitterness will die for sure
Something special, something pure
This is love worth waiting for.
霍華瓊斯(Howard Jones,1955-)是英國著名音樂人 走的是新浪潮 電子流行 流行/搖滾路線
1955年出生於南安普敦 父母是威爾斯人
青少年時代 家中搬到加拿大 霍華在當地組了一支華麗搖滾團
後來他回到英國 待過數個樂團
1982年開始個人事業
1983年以單曲〔New Song/新歌〕(UK#3)〔What Is Love/愛是什麼〕(UK#2)走紅
專輯〔Human’s Lip〕更拿下英國冠軍
1985年的第二張大碟〔Dreams to Action〕也表現理想
1989年 霍華推出第三張專輯〔Cross That Line/橫跨彼線〕 但反應不如預期
首支單曲為〔Everlasting Love/永恆之愛〕
這首融合成人抒情與流行搖滾的歌曲拿到英國榜#62
美國反應較佳 登上流行榜#12 成人抒情榜冠軍 現代搖滾榜#19
這也是霍華瓊斯最後一首入門曲 之後他的事業便走下坡了
Anyway, 〔Everlasting Love〕是首討巧的歌曲 MV也拍得很特別
