美國夫妻雙人組〔男孩遇見女孩〕──成人抒情榜冠軍經典──浪漫的〔Waiting For A Star To Fall／等待星星墜落〕






<Waiting For A Star To Fall>
I hear your name whispered on the wind
It's a sound that makes me cry
I hear a song blow again and again
Through my mind and I don't know why
I wish I didn't feel so strong about you
Like happiness and love revolve around you

Trying to catch your heart
Is like trying to catch a star
So many people love you baby
That must be what you are

Waiting for a star to fall
And carry your heart into my arms
That's where you belong
In my arms baby, yeah

I've learned to feel what I cannot see
But with you I lose that vision
I don't know how to dream your dream
So I'm all caught up in superstition
I want to reach out and pull you to me
Who says I should let a wild one go free

Trying to catch your heart
Is like trying to catch a star
But I can't love you this much baby
And love you from this far

Waiting for a star to fall
And carry your heart into my arms
That's where you belong
In my arms baby, yeah

Waiting (however long...)
I don't like waiting (I'll wait for you...)
It's so hard waiting (don't be too long...)
Seems like waiting (makes me love you even more...)

Waiting for a star to fall
And carry your heart into my arms
That's where you belong
In my arms baby, yeah

１９８２年成立的男孩遇見女孩（Boy Meets Girl） 本來是個不甚知名的美國夫妻雙人組
後來因寫了黑人天后惠妮休斯頓（Whitney Houston）兩首暢銷冠軍曲〔How Will I Know／我怎麼知道〕〔I Wanna Dance With Somedody(Who Loves Me)／願與有情人共舞〕而聲名大噪

１９８５年　男孩遇見女孩推出首張同名專輯　但反應不佳
１９８８年底　他們推出第二張專輯〔Reel Life／暈眩生活〕
首支單曲為夫婦合寫的〔Waiting For A Star To Fall／等待星星墜落〕

這是一首旋律柔美　節奏輕快的成人流行歌曲
合成樂器與鍵盤的潤飾讓這首歌的編曲聽起來相當華麗
在男主唱帶點白人靈魂味道的詮釋與薩克斯風的伴奏下
流露出既浪漫躍動的風情
〔Waiting For A Star To Fall／等待星星墜落〕登上美國流行榜＃３　成人抒情榜冠軍　英國＃９　澳洲Top１０
<Waiting For A Star To Fall>是個人接觸歐美音樂初期聽過的歌曲
推薦給各位
