美國豪放天后〔雪兒〕──成人抒情榜冠軍──流行搖滾名作──激昂的〔If I Could Turn Back Time／假如我能倒轉時間〕



＜If I Could Turn Back Time＞
I dont know why I did the things I did
I dont know why I said the things I said
Prides like a knife, it can cut deep inside
Words are like weapons, they wound sometimes
I didnt really mean to hurt you
I didnt wanna see you go
I know I made you cry
But baby

CHORUS
If I could turn back time
If I could find a way
Id take back those words that have hurt you
And youd stay
If I could reach the stars
Id give them all to you
Then youd love me, love me
Like you used to do
If I could turn back

My world was shattered, I was torn apart
Like somebody took a knife
And drove it deep in my heart
When you walked out that door
I swore that I didnt care
But I lost every thing darling then and there
Too strong to tell you I was sorry
Too proud to tell you I was wrong
I know that I was blind, and darling

CHORUS

繼反應良好的〔Cher〕大碟後

１９８９年６月　４３歲的奧斯卡影后雪兒（Cher）推出第２０張專輯〔Heart Of Stone／鐵石心腸〕

仍舊邀請樂壇許多著名歌手／詞曲家／製作人合作

並成為她事業最受好評的大碟之一

這也是雪兒８０年代最暢銷的專輯

登上美國＃１０（三百萬張銷售）　英國＃７　全球４５０萬張

北美首支單曲是３２月發行　與前〔芝加哥／Chicago〕樂團主唱彼得塞特拉（Peter Cetera）為電影〔Chances Are〕合唱的主題曲〔After All／畢竟〕（流行榜＃６　成人抒情榜冠軍）

專輯第二首單曲為〔If I Could Turn Back Time／假如我能倒轉時間〕（歐洲等國際地區首支主打）

這是詞曲天后黛安華倫（Diane Warren）的作品
本來雪兒不想灌錄這首歌　還是黛安千勸萬推才讓她進入錄音室
華倫還參與製作（＆Guy Roche）與合音
〔If I Could Turn Back Time〕是首流行抒情搖滾
在雪兒激昂的詮釋下
此曲登上美國流行榜＃３　成人抒情榜冠軍　銷售近百萬　成為金唱片

創下雪兒在８０年代最成功的單曲

〔If I Could Turn Back Time〕在國際市場也頗為成功　拿下英國＃６　澳洲７週冠軍　挪威冠軍　加拿大亞軍　荷蘭＆比利時＆愛爾蘭＃６　瑞典＃１１　奧地利＃１４　義大利＃１５　西德＃１６

成為雪兒東山再起的代表作

許多國家也限制播出時間
〔If I Could Turn Back Time〕的MV真的會讓人看得熱血沸騰
雖然瑪丹娜（Madonna）是當時的性感女神
但在１９８９年前好像也沒像〔If I Could Turn Back Time〕MV中的雪兒如此大膽
推薦這首性感的音樂錄影帶給各位
