这歌被翻唱过无数次了

首先是在好莱坞同名电影(台湾版片名是<歌声泪痕>)中由Bette Midler深情演绎

她也以此获得了格莱美和奥斯卡的双丰收

其后词曲作者Amanda Mcbroom也推出了自己的版本

 

在华语歌手中，林忆莲、齐豫、阿桑和蔡依林都翻唱过这歌

其中阿桑的声音有点像Amanda Mcbroom

蔡依林的版本则比较特别

除了最后的一段男声rap外

中间有段编曲也稍作了修改

依稀有<Notting Hill>中<When you say nothing at all>的味道

//这歌也很赞，Alison Krauss和Ronan Keating男女两个版本各有千秋，前者sweet后者blue

 

Lyrics & Music: Amanda Mcbroom

Singer: Bette Midler

 

Some say love it is a river that drowns the tender reed
Some say love it is a razor that leaves your soul to bleed
Some say love it is a hunger and endless aching need
I say love it is a flower and you its only seed

It's the heart afraid of breaking that never learns to dance
It's the dream afraid of waiting that never takes the chance
It's the one who won't be taken who cannot seem to give
And the soul afraid of dying that never learns to live

When the night has been too lonely and the road has been too long
And you think that love is only for the lucky and the strong
Just remember in the winter far beneath the bitter snows
Lies the seed that with the sun's love
In the spring becomes the rose
