瑪丹娜的小師弟──憂鬱型男湯米佩吉的成名曲──抒情佳作──[A Shoulder To Cry On]
〔A Shoulder To Cry On〕
Life is full of lots of up and downs,
And the distance feels further
When you're headed for the ground,
And there is nothing more painful
Than to let you're feelings take you down,
It's so hard to know
The way you feel inside,
When there's many thoughts
And feelings that you hide,
But you might feel better
If you let me walk with you by your side,
Chorus:
And when you need a shoulder to cry on,
When you need a friend to rely on,
When the whole world is gone,
You won't be alone, cause I'll be there,
I'll be your shoulder to cry on,
I'll be there,
I'll be a friend to rely on,
When the whole world is gone,
you won't be alone, cause I'll be there.
All of the times when everything is wrong
And you're feeling like
There's no use going on
You can't give it up
I hope you work it out and carry on
Side by side,
With you till the end
I'll alway be the one to firmly hold your hand
no matter what is said or done
our love will always continue on
Everyone needs a shoulder to cry on
everyone needs a friend to rely on
When the whole world is gone
you won't be alone cause I'll be there
I'll be your shoulder to cry on
I'll be there
I'll be the one you rely on
when the whole world's gone
you won't be alone
cause I'll be there!
And when the whole world is gone
You'll always have my shoulder to cry on....
如果９０年代中期前就接觸西洋音樂的人
一定認識Tommy Page／湯米佩吉（１９７０－）這憂鬱小生型的偶像男歌手
當年他在台灣相當走紅
嚴格來說 Tommy 在美國算是所謂的"One Hit Wonder"
只有一首〔I'll Be Your Everything〕真正達到商業成功(＃1)
不過他在日本 台灣 東南亞這一帶卻紅了好幾年
Tommy Page 跟Madonna是師姐弟關係 同樣隸屬 Sire公司
聽說娜姐還幫他寫過歌（但我不確定就是了）
如果記得沒錯的話 他跟彼時當紅的Martika 與 Madonna合音 Donna Delory都傳過緋聞
雖然Tommy Page被定為偶像歌手 不過他卻是一個創作演唱彈奏樂器俱佳的藝人
１９８８年 年僅１８歲的Tommy Page就以一首自己寫的〔A Shoulder To Cry On／可靠著哭泣的肩膀〕打進排行榜＃２９
這是一首描述朋友互相依靠 非常動人的抒情歌曲
在優美的旋律 鋼琴的流暢伴奏與湯米細緻嗓音的演繹下 十分感人
〔A Shoulder To Cry On〕算是Page在亞洲的成名曲
當年他就是帶著此曲來台灣初次宣傳的(不過那時我沒沒接觸歐美流行音樂 所以不曉得^^)
推薦給喜歡抒情歌曲的朋友
