老歌亂談(613)There Ain't No Way
1943出生於佛羅里達的Roland Kent LaVoie,18歲時就參加了當地的樂團The Rumours,其後,又換了好幾個團,但都沒什麼起色。1969開始單飛,發行了幾首歌,但仍敲不進排行榜的大門。
1971,LaVoie改名Lobo,歌運也跟著大開,同年發行的《Me and You and Dog Name Boo》分別在美、英排行榜拿下第5和第4名,也獲得銷售百萬張的金唱片。1972,Lobo發行了《Of A Simple Man》專輯,其中的《I'd Love You to Want Me》和《Don't Expect Me To Be Your Friend》再度暴紅 ( #2 / #8 ),不僅唱片大賣,也終於奠定了他在歌壇的地位。
此首《There Ain't No Way》亦為收錄在前述的專輯中,雖然沒有排行榜亮麗的成績加持,但仍不失為一首好歌。Lobo的歌曲在流暢的旋律中,往往流露出一股淡淡的對愛情的無奈和哀愁,應該也算是位憂鬱情歌王子吧!
唱片版的音效較佳
The dirty rain is falling
I hear the wind a calling me away
The motel sign is flashing
And in my mind I'm crashing what to say.
What to say
The words they started flowing
And passions started growing like years ago
The wine made my mind crazy
But now I'm not so hazy I gotta go
I Gotta Go
The love we made today
It was just a foolish way
To try to bring back yesterday there ain't no way.
The dirty rain is falling
And in my mind it's calling me away
I'm staring at the ceiling
I can't let that feeling make me stay.
I Just Can't Stay

他的歌我都好喜歡。我記得那年代他還來臺灣開過演唱會。
Lobo的歌在台灣特別受到歡迎
他也體會到了這種氛圍
來台開演唱會不說
還寫了首《Love to You Taiwan》 2016-09-14 08:35:34
