美國創作才子〔理察瑪爾克斯〕的〔雙峰〕神秘懸疑殺人事件──到底是誰殺了瑪莉？──〔Hazard／危險〕

〔Hazard〕
My mother came to hazard when I was just seven
Even then the folks in town said with predjudiced eyes
That boy's not right
Three years ago when I came to know mary
First time that someone looked beyond the rumors and the lies
And saw the man inside

We used to walk down by the river
She loved to watch the sun go down
We used to walk along the river
And dream our way out of this town

No one understood what I felt for mary
No one cared until the night she went out walking alone
And never came home
Man with a badge came knocking next morning
Here was I surrounded by a thousand fingers suddenly
Pointed right at me

I swear I left her by the river
I swear I left her safe and sound
I need to make it to the river
And leave this old nebraska town

I think about my life gone by
And how it's done me wrong
There's no escape for me this time
All of my rescues are gone, long gone

I swear I left her by the river
I swear I left her safe and sound
I need to make it to the river
And leave this old nebraska town

１９９１年末　２８歲的美國創作紅星理察瑪爾克斯（Richard Marx）推出自己譜寫製作的第三張大碟〔Rush Street／忙碌大街〕
首支單曲〔Keep Coming Back〕表現差強人意（Pop＃１２）

專輯銷售亦不盡理想
１９９２年初　理察發行第二主打〔Hazard／危險〕
這是一首節奏流暢的中板抒情曲
歌曲有戲劇性　描述一場愛情兇殺案
當時美國詭異推理影集〔雙峰／Twin Peaks〕正紅
理察首開紀錄 將MV拍成令人迷思的謀殺案
且以三段式描述 造成相當大的轟動
〔雙峰〕影集圍繞的主題是‘誰殺了蘿拉？’
〔Hazard〕則是‘誰殺了歌詞中的瑪莉？’
在這支黑白攝影的MV中 理察看到女友瑪莉跟一名陌生男子漫步河邊 深感痛苦與懊惱
不料 隔天早上女友被發現陳屍河邊 脖子圍著理察的圍巾
於是展開抽絲剝繭的辦案情節
相信看過〔Hazard〕MV的觀眾 一定會和看過〔雙峰〕的人同樣匪夷所思
到底理察是否是兇手？抑或另有他人？
MV並沒有明確的答案 只有靠歌迷的推理能力了

說真的 連我都看不出來

另外也拿到成人抒情榜冠軍（年終＃９）

至於國際市場上　〔Hazard〕登上英國榜＃３　成為理察在當地第二成功的歌曲（僅次於亞軍曲〔Right Here Waiting／在此等候〕）

〔Hazard〕也是瑪爾克斯第二首澳洲冠軍曲加拿大＃３　瑞典＃６　挪威／紐西蘭＃７　瑞士＃２６　德國＃４２　荷蘭＃６０

〔Hazard〕是首相當耐聽的抒情傑作

MV拍得更是出色 
推薦這支懸疑的音樂錄影帶MV給有興趣的朋友
