Pop + Underground

  1989年Karyn White以一首道盡女強人辛酸的"Superwoman",讓無數的歌迷為她傾心,不但穩固了自己的歌唱事業,這首"Superwoman"也成為了她個人最經典的單曲;1991年時王靖雯(王菲)翻唱成『多得他』,使得這支曲子在華語歌壇也不陌生,兩個版本都成為樂迷心中難以忘懷的經典之作。 

 

  2002年時日本GTS重製這首抒情經典,並且找來了原唱Karyn重新獻唱,混音過後的版本在各大舞池播放後,得到了頗大的回應,這首歌的詢問度大幅度的攀升,每個舞客都在詢問"Superwoman"到底是誰唱的,問這首歌收錄在哪張專輯中? 

 

  一年多前在某個pub裡,筆者見識到了這首歌的威力,當"Superwoman"從震天響的喇叭中播放出來的那一剎那,舞客們那種瘋狂歡呼的盛況,以及每個人朗朗上口的跟唱,便知道這支舞曲在當時風靡舞場的程度了。 

 

  當年Karyn White悲傷慟人的演唱著"Superwoman",寫實的歌詞牽動人心,讓她在歌壇嶄露頭角並享受到成名的滋味;事隔十三年,KarynGTS的合作"Superwoman Remix",不但讓這首歌攻佔各大舞池,掠奪了所有舞客的心,也讓退隱許久的Karyn再次得到了肯定,掀起一場舞池風暴。

 

  看見一首老歌重獲新生,是多麼令人興奮的一件事,而更令人高興的是它一樣的那麼受歡迎,這對退影歌壇許久,在家相夫教子的Karyn來說,不也是一種安慰和成就嗎!?呵!

歌曲試聽:

 

Early in the morning
I put breakfast at your table
And make sure that your coffee
Has its sugar and cream

Your eggs are over easy
Your toast done lightly
All that's missing is your morning kiss
That used to greet me

Now you say the juice is sour
It used to be so sweet
And I can't help but to wonder
If you're talking 'bout me

We don't talk the way we used to talk
It's hurtin' so deep
I've got my pride, I will not cry
But it's makin' me weak

I'm not your superwoman
I'm not the kind of girl that you can let down
And think that everything's okay
Boy, I am only human
This girl needs more than occasional
Hugs as a token of love from you to me, ooh, baby

I fought my way through the rush hour
Trying to make it home just for you
I want to make sure that your dinner
Will be waiting for you

But when you get there you just tell me
You're not hungry at all
You said you'd rather read the paper
And you don't want to talk

You like to think that I'm just crazy
When I say that you changed
I'm convinced I know the problem
You don't love me the same

You're just going through the motions
And you're not being fair
I've got my pride, I will not cry
Still I can't help but care

If you feel it in your heart
And you understand me
Stop right where you are
Everybody sing along with me

Hoo, hoo, hoo, ooh, ooh, hoo
Hoo, hoo, hoo, ooh, ooh, hoo
I'm the kind of girl that can treat you so sweet
But you got to realize that you got to be sweeter to me, oh, ho, ho

Hoo, hoo, hoo, ooh, ooh, hoo
Hoo, hoo, hoo, ooh, ooh, hoo
I need love
I need just your love
