英國美女歌姬〔席娜伊斯頓〕──流行抒情佳作──精緻迷人的〔You Could Have Been With Me〕

〔You Could Have Been With Me〕
Youre the seventh son of the seventh son
Maybe thats why youre such a strange and special one
You cant even seem to love yourself
And with a few exceptions, not anybody else

You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make him drink
You can give a man your whole heart and soul, but you cannot make him think

Chorus:
You could have been with me instead of alone and lonely


You can tell him the day of departure, exactly the place and the time
He might really wanna be there, but he misses every time
Is he a man or a paper tiger
When you need him will he run or stand beside you

chorus repeats 2x

chorus repeats out

１９８１年秋天　剛以〔Morning Train（９ To ５）〕〔For Your Eyes Only〕走紅的席娜伊斯頓（Sheena Easton）乘勝追擊

推出個人第二張大碟〔You Could have Been With Me〕

這張專輯在排行榜並沒有她第一張亮眼（US＃４７　UK＃３３）

不過因銷售穩定　在美國仍拿到了金唱片（＞５０萬張）

至於國際市場　〔You Could Have Been With Me〕在日本成績頗佳　拿到綜合榜＃７　頗售頗佳

當時席娜在東洋的聲勢可以跟最紅的奧莉薇亞紐頓強相互匹敵

〔You Could have Been With Me〕英國首支主打是〔Just Another Broken Heart〕（＃３３）

美國則是大碟同名單曲

這是首優美的抒情歌曲

在悠揚鋼琴伴奏下　席娜循序漸進將此曲帶上高潮

作者為來自紐西蘭的Lea Maalfrid

原本她是抱著摘星夢將自己的創作寄給製作人Christopher Neil

結果後者卻選了兩首給席娜灌錄

Lea Maalfrid後來放棄成為歌手的夢想　專心當詞曲創作者了

〔You Could Have Been With Me〕於１９８１年１１月推出

隔年２月席娜拿下葛萊美最佳新人時　登上單曲榜＃１５　成人抒情榜＃６

國際市場方面　家鄉英國反而沒美國那麼好＃５４

加拿大＃１３　荷蘭＃１４　日本＃４６（４８０００張）

在席娜的抒情曲中　除了〔For Your Eyes Only〕外

個人覺得最動聽的就是〔You Could Have Been With Me〕
