美國搖滾紅星〔理察瑪爾克斯〕──美國榜冠軍──熱情狂野的流行搖滾──〔Satisfied／滿足〕

We work our bodies weary to stay alive
There must be more to livin' than nine to five
Why should we wait for some better time
There may not even be a tomorrow
Ain't no sense in losing your mind
I'm gonna make it worth the ride

CHORUS:

Don't you know
I won't give up until I'm satisfied
Don't you know
Why should I stop until I'm satisfied

Ignore the hesitation that ties your hands
Use your imagination and take a chance
I won't let my moment of truth pass me by
I've gotta make my move now or never
And if they turn me loose on this town
They're gonna have to hold me down

(CHORUS)

(BRIDGE)

Don't you know
Ain't gonna stop until we're satisfied
Don't you know
We shouldn't stop until we're satisfied

Don't you know
Ain't gonna stop until I'm satisfied
Don't you know
We won't give up until we're satisfied

All the world

１９８７年　美國創作歌手流行搖滾紅星理察瑪爾克斯（Richard Marx）以首張同名專輯走紅　

並推出推出４首美國榜Top５單曲（一首冠軍）

１９８９年春天　２５歲半的理察發行與David Cole製作的第二張大碟〔Repeat Offender／重施故計〕

登上美國冠軍　大賣５００萬張（英國＃８　德國＃９）　登上事業高峰

專輯首支主打為〔Satisfied／滿足〕

在大碟籌製過程中　瑪爾克斯的經紀公司認為需要一首快板歌曲來帶動專輯氣勢

於是他便寫了這首歌曲
〔Satisfied〕是首熱情有勁的流行搖滾 　結合重擊放克節拍　相當有勁
特別是背景的Bass演奏不斷重覆　頗能煽動聽眾的情緒　想讓人忘記也難
此曲登上美國流行榜冠軍（＋主流搖滾榜＃５）　成為理察連續第五首登上Top３的單曲

但國際反應較遜：英國＃５２　德國＃４２

MV也拍得頗有特色
將社會各行各業做了個眾生相的集合
告訴觀眾每個人得到滿足的方式

〔Satisfied〕是我跟理查馬克斯音樂的初次交集　所以對此曲印象非常深刻
推薦這首熱情有勁的流行搖滾傑作給各位
