偶然的机缘,发现K-Ci & Jojo一张再版的精选辑,其中收录了这首《I Care About You》。于是再次翻出尘封许久的 BabyFace不插电现场演唱会专辑《Babyface Unplugged Nyc 1997》。《I Care About You》由BabyFace与K-Ci / Jojo / Melvin Edmonds / Kevon Edmonds 合作完成,无论是R&B音乐领域还是不插电演唱会范畴中,都是绝对顶级之作。
Babyface作为R&B节奏布鲁斯歌手是极为成功的,而他作为制作人为R&B所做的贡献,甚至要比他作为歌手还要来的成功。他已经是R&B界的元老级人物和潮流的缔造者。从音乐角度来看,本张专辑是很丰富的,而且由于很多着名音乐人的参与使得这张专辑在演奏时并没有刻板的遵守“不插电”的原则。布鲁斯吉他大师Eric Clapton和盲人传奇音乐艺人Stevie Wonder的友情演出让这张专辑变的光彩辉煌。Eric Clapton将他97年获得GRAMMY奖的作品“Change the World ”交给Babyface来演绎,Stevie Wonder则和他合作了“ Gone Too Soon”(Michael Jackson在93年Dangerus专辑中的歌曲)和“How Come, How Long ”, 让人激动还不止这些,R&B着名组合BOYZIIMAN的经典作品“I?ll Make Love to You / End of the Road / I Care About You”也在Babyface和他的朋友K-Ci & Jo-Jo, Melvin Edmonds的诠释下完美演唱,其余合作的还有和Shanice Wilson的“Breathe Again ”,和Beverly Crowder合作的“Exhale (Shoop, Shoop) ”,总之精彩纷呈,群星会粹,具有很高的可听性。
本曲歌词:
i care about you
Sometimes I feel so alone baby girl
I call your heart but there’s no one at home
Taking a toll on my pride
I’m reaching out but there’s no one inside
You know it doesn’t feel right
When I look in your eyes
I know love is blind but the heart doesn’t lie
I’ll ask one more time
Maybe this time you’ll try
So tell me girl what’s deep in your heart
Girl I care about you
I’m there for you
So why don’t you care for me
Like I care about you
Girl I care about you
I’m there for you
So why don’t you care for me
Like I care about you
I spend like all of my day, baby
Trying to sense out just how things got this way
I thought that we were in love
But I swear right now I don’t know what you want, babe
I make sure that I give you quality time
But lately I feel you’re not home by design
But still I’m gonna try to give you the love of my life
In hopes that you, that you will open up your heart, baby
Girl I care about you
I’m there for you
So why don’t you care for me
Like I care about you
Girl I care about you
I’m there for you
So why don’t you care for me
Like I care about you
Sometimes I’m not sure that
That I’m all you got
Sometimes I’m not sure you love me or not, baby
Just one thing that I’m certain of
Girl I care for you
And the one thing that I want is that you care for me too
Girl I care about you
I’m there for you
So why don’t you care for me
Like I care about you
Girl I care about you
I’m there for you
So why don’t you care for me
Like I care about you
Oh baby, baby, baby, baby, baby,baby, babe, yeah
Yeah, oh yeah, ooooh
I care for you, babe
