Saying I love you
Is not the words I want to hear from you
It's not that I want you
Not to say, but if you only knew
How easy it would be to show me how you feel
More than words is all you have to do to make it real
Then you wouldn't have to say that you love me
'Cause I'd already know
What would you do if my heart was torn in two
More than words to show you feel
That your love for me is real
What would you say if I took those words away
Then you couldn't make things new
Just by saying I love you
More than words
Now I've tried to talk to you and make you understand
All you have to do is close your eyes
And just reach out your hands and touch me
Hold me close don't ever let me go
More than words is all I ever needed you to show
Then you wouldn't have to say that you love me
'Cause I'd already know
What would you do if my heart was torn in two
More than words to show you feel
That your love for me is real
What would you say if I took those words away
Then you couldn't make things new
Just by saying I love you
出乎大多数流行乐迷意料的是,甜蜜浪漫的爱情也是大多数摇滚乐的主题。事实上,作为娱乐音乐出现的大多数流行歌手和摇滚乐队的本质并无区别。只不过口味有甜有苦,有淡有辣罢了。何况,有时候狂暴的摇滚乐队安静下来,也需要轻松愉快地换换口味。几乎所有的重金属乐队也就因此写下了招牌曲一般的情歌小品,“感性的一面”,此之谓也。而所有那些金属党向流行帮抢饭碗的名曲中,Extreme(极端乐队)的《More Than Words》(《胜过言辞》)则最为清新别致。只用一把木吉他伴奏的《胜过言辞》在动情方面可能不及一些大歌,但它高贵的气质却随着真情流露,胜过了有着华丽织体的热闹声音。当然,这首歌最迷人的,还是天衣无缝的合声部分,那轻轻的、起伏的、隐现并滑翔而逝的伴唱。只有真正胸怀开阔,品位脱俗的人才能这样写情歌,也只有真正温柔可爱的人才值得被这样的歌声围绕。
