音樂 l 久違的Mariah，久違的傷心情歌"Mariah Carey - We Belong Together" @ B's Private Land

We Belong Together的單曲封面

　　聽完了Mariah Carey的最新單曲"We Belong Together"，除了感動還是感動……。

　　捨棄了過份氣音的唱法，也拋開了那些花俏到極點的花腔演唱技巧，Mariah終究回歸到音樂原始挑動人心的本質，唱出了筆者心中睽違已久的動人情歌。

　　筆者一直覺得長久以來Mariah花了太多的力氣去展現她的幾乎無人能及的鳥叫神功，當然也許有很多歌迷喜歡她，就是衝著她有這股神奇的能力，不過過份的展技，往往喪失了歌曲傳達感動的力量，原本一首動人的情歌，經過她這麼一叫後，什麼感覺都沒了，可惜了她天生的一副好歌喉。

　　唱的好聽是一回事，但能否唱到人們的心坎裡，這確實有待商確。過去一段時間Mariah就如同歌劇魅影(The Phantom of the Opera)裡的Carlotta一樣，不斷的賣弄著她與生俱來的天賦唱歌，大家聽她叫的High，而她也應歌迷之願叫的更肆無忌憚，但卻也越來越多人不買她的帳，這次Mariah對於唱法的修正，應該多少也能得到些正面的迴響吧！

　　新專輯"The Emancipation of Mimi"首週四十二萬張的驚人銷量，作為第二主打的"We Belong Together"排除萬難的攻頂，使得她個人的冠軍單曲累積到16首之多，當大家仍議論紛紛興奮的討論著Mariah歌唱事業回春，『天后再臨』的同時，筆者依然只陶醉在WBT的感動中，因為WBT讓筆者重拾了十多年前初聽Mariah的那種驚艷。

　　只能說『咪咪』真有妳的，妳終於回來了！！！

MV欣賞：

(Ooh, ooh, sweet love, yeah)

I didn't mean it
When I said I didn't love you so
I should have held on tight
I never should've let you go
I didn't know nothing
I was stupid
I was foolish
I was lying to myself
I couldn't have fathomed that I would ever
Be without your love
Never imagined I'd be
Sitting here beside myself

'Cause I didn't know you
'Cause I didn't know me
But I thought I knew everything
I never felt
The feeling that I'm feeling
Now that I don't
Hear your voice
Or have your touch and kiss your lips
'Cause I don't have a choice
Oh, what I wouldn't give
To have you lying by my side
Right here, 'cause baby

[Chorus:]
When you left
I lost a part of me
It's still so hard to believe
Come back baby please, 'cause
We belong together
Who else am I gonna lean on
When times get rough?
Who's gonna talk to me on the phone
Till the sun comes up?
Who's gonna take your place?
There ain't nobody better
Oh baby, baby
We belong together

I can't sleep at night
When you are on my mind
Bobby Womack's on the radio
Singing to me
'If you think you're lonely now'
Wait a minute
This is too deep, too deep
I gotta change the station
So I turn the dial
Trying to catch a break
And then I hear Babyface
I only think of you
And it's breaking my heart
I'm trying to keep it together
But I'm falling apart
I'm feeling all out of my element
I'm throwing things
Crying
Trying to figure out
Where the hell I went wrong
The pain reflected in this song
Ain't even half of what
I'm feeling inside
I need you
Need you back in my life (in my life, in my life), baby

[Chorus]

Baby!

[Repeat chorus]
When you left
I lost a part of me
It's still so hard to believe
Come back, baby, please, 'cause
We belong together
Who am I gonna lean on
When times get rough?
Who's gonna talk to me
Till the sun comes up?
Who's gonna take your place?
There ain't nobody better.
Oh baby, baby
We belong together
