友誼無價《That's What Friends Are For》

And I never thought I'd feel this way
And as far as I'm concerned
I'm glad I got the chance to say
That I do believe I love you
And if I should ever go away
Well, then close your eyes and try to feel
The way we do today
And then if you can remember
Keep smilin', keep shinin'
Knowin' you can always count on me, for sure
That's what friends are for
For good times and bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for
Well, you came and opened me
And now there's so much more I see
And so by the way I thank you
Whoa, and then for the times when we're apart
Well, then close your eyes and know
These words are comin' from my heart
And then if you can remember, oh
Keep smiling, keep shining
Knowing you can always count on me, for sure
That's what friends are for
In good times, in bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
Oh, that's what friends are for
Whoa... oh... oh... keep smilin', keep shinin'
Knowin' you can always count on me, for sure
That's what friends are for
For good times and bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for
Keep smilin', keep shinin'
Knowin' you can always count on me, oh, for sure
'Cause I tell you that's what friends are for
For good times and for bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for (That's what friends are for)
On me, for sure
That's what friends are for
Keep smilin', keep shinin'
 
從沒想過我會有這樣的感覺

對我來說
我很高興自己能有機會說:
我確定自己真的愛你
如果我必須離去
那麼,閉上你的雙眼
試著感受我倆今天所做的
然後,如果你還記得..........
 
保持你的笑容,光彩煥發
請你相信,你永遠都可以倚靠我
那就是朋友相處之道
不論是歡樂時光或是苦難的時刻
我永遠都在你左右
那就是朋友的好處
 
你來到我身邊,啟發了我
如今,我比以往看得更多
因此,我要順便向你道謝
在我們分開的日子裡
閉上你的眼睛,請你明白
這些都是我的肺腑之言
然後,如果你還記得..........



  Thats What Friends Are For 
一九八五年葛萊美獎最佳年度歌曲《Thats What Friends Are For》,
闡揚友誼的真諦,感人至深,這首歌早在一九八二年便由
「搖滾公雞」洛史都華(Rod Stuart)演唱過,卻未引起太大回響,
反倒是惠妮休斯頓(Whitney Houston)的表姊
狄昂薇若克(Dionne Warwick)將它唱成流行榜四周冠軍。
八五年時,「玉婆」伊麗莎白泰勒(Elizabeth Taylor)的好友洛赫遜(Rock Hudson)宣布得了愛滋病,不久便撒手人寰,世人因此驚覺愛滋的可怕。玉婆紀念好友,發起為愛滋籌募基金活動,狄昂邀集了好友「強叔」艾爾頓強(Elton John)、史提夫汪德(Stevie Wonder)、葛萊迪奈特(Gladys Knight),重唱《Thats What Friends Are For,獲得熱烈反應,這首好歌才總算獲得它應有的地位。  該首歌不僅募集到一百萬美元基金,還高居告示牌單曲榜四周冠軍,是演唱的四人出道以來的最好成績,並拿下葛萊美獎最佳年度歌曲及最佳流行合唱團獎,曾被提名十四次卻始終無緣的強叔,總算一圓美夢;譜曲的Burt Bacharach過去曾入圍五次,首度得獎。
這首由Burt Bacharach與老婆Carole Bayer Sager合作的歌曲,
原出自於一九八二年電影《銷魂大夜班》(Night Shift),
由奧斯卡最佳導演朗霍華(Ron Howard)執導,描述一對好友發夢想賺錢,
竟然借用墓園當妓院,與妓女合作拉客招攬生意,一連串的爆笑災難因此展開。
當初在美台兩地上檔,評價與票房都不好,
可惜兩位當時得令的紅星莎莉朗(Shelley Long)與米高基頓(Michael Keaton)。 
原版的洛史都華用他沙啞的嗓音,雖然唱得滄桑感人,但配在這部黑色喜劇裡,
總有點不倫不類,幸好狄昂眼光獨具,好歌才得以翻身。 
狄昂曾是五度葛萊美獎得主,並是首位榮獲葛萊美「最佳流行女歌手」音樂獎項的黑人歌后,
她演唱的風格融合靈魂、節奏藍調與爵士,風靡歌迷四十幾年。
她長期與知名作曲家兼製作人Burt Bacharach與作詞家Hal David合作,
他們三人共同為西洋流行音樂史上留下眾多的經典名曲,
包括《Walk On By》、《風流奇男子》(Alfie)主題曲、
曾被《新娘不是我》(My Best Friend’s Wedding
引用的《I Say A Little Prayer》等膾炙人口的歌曲。 
它歌曲富含的勵志意味,四位好友完美的合音,
實際出演繹了友誼的真諦,更讓聽者感動不已。
