英國天王〔菲爾柯林斯〕＆美國天后〔瑪麗亞凱莉〕&愛爾蘭天團〔西城男孩〕的交集──英美冠軍抒情經典──〔Against All Odds(Take A Look At Me Now)／以寡敵眾（再看我一眼）〕

How can I just let you walk away, just let you leave without a trace
When I stand here taking every breath with you, ooh
Youre the only one who really knew me at all

How can you just walk away from me,
when all I can do is watch you leave
Cos weve shared the laughter and the pain and even shared the tears
Youre the only one who really knew me at all

So take a look at me now, oh theres just an empty space
And theres nothing left here to remind me,
just the memory of your face
Ooh take a look at me now, well theres just an empty space
And you coming back to me is against the odds and thats what Ive got to face

I wish I could just make you turn around,
turn around and see me cry
Theres so much I need to say to you,
so many reasons why
Youre the only one who really knew me at all

So take a look at me now, well theres just an empty space
And theres nothing left here to remind me, just the memory of your face
Now take a look at me now, cos theres just an empty space

But to wait for you, is all I can do and thats what Ive got to face
Take a good look at me now, cos Ill still be standing here
And you coming back to me is against all odds
Its the chance Ive gotta take

Take a look at me now

美國流行榜冠軍 成人抒情榜＃６ 銷售達百萬金唱片

隔年為他拿到一座葛萊美流行男歌手獎  以及奧斯卡原創歌曲提名
國際市場方面　則拿到加拿大冠軍　愛爾蘭冠軍　瑞典＃３　瑞士＃４　德國＃９　荷蘭＃１２　奧地利＃１３

１９９９年 美國歌壇天后瑪麗亞凱莉（Mariah Carey）也在〔Rainbow／彩紅〕大碟翻唱此曲
並請來名製作小組Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis與她合力操刀

２０００年初在歐洲發行單曲　獲得中等成功
２０００年秋天則加入愛爾蘭偶像團體西城男孩（Westlife）合唱
登上英國與愛爾蘭冠軍
雖然瑪麗亞凱莉翻唱的老歌多不錯
但個人覺得菲爾的版本比較感人

話說回來　其實兩者的詮釋我都沒特別鍾愛

大概跟筆者始終沒有特別喜歡〔Against All Odds(Take A Look At Me Now)〕有關吧
