美國黑人歌姬［狄昂華薇克］＆表妹［惠妮休斯頓］的交集──流行抒情佳作──［Some Changes Are for Good］

 

Didnt you ever want to climb

The highest mountain you could find?

Didnt you ever want to do it all?

Didnt you ever want to do it all?

 

Long ago I heard a voice

Telling me I had no choice

Take a chance cause even if you fall

At least you know you tried to do it all

 

Some changes are for good

And this I know for sure

Some things in life are meant to be

Some changes set you free

 

And free means I can fly

And sometimes say goodbye

I wouldnt hold on if I could

Some changes are for good

 

Didnt you ever want to feel

Just the part of life thats real?

After all were dealing with the truth here

Isnt it the truth were going for?

 

And if somewhere along the line

Your dreams are lying close to mine

Maybe you and I could have it all

Maybe you and I could have it all

 

Some changes are for good

And this I know for sure

Somethings in life are meant to be

Some changes set you free

 

And free means I can fly

And sometimes say goodbye

I wouldnt hold on if I could

Some changes are for good

 

Some changes are for good

And this I know for sure

Somethings in life are meant to be

Some changes set you free

 

And free means I can fly

And sometimes say goodbye

I wouldnt hold on if I could

Some changes are for good

Some changes are for good

１９８１年５月２０日　４０歲半的美國黑人流行歌姬狄昂華薇克（Dionne Warwick）發行雙片（三面）的演唱會大碟［Hot! Live and Otherwise］

這是她事業第四張Live專輯

收錄當年春天她在內華達州Reno市的Harrahs Casino的演唱實況

此輯由Steve Buckingham, Michael Masser製作

這是為滿足合約義務出版的唱片, 樂評銷售皆普通

［Hot! Live and Otherwise］登上美國Billboard專輯榜＃７２　R&B榜＃３５

 

大碟首支主打［Some Changes Are for Good］

由Michael Masser, Carole Bayer Sager譜寫, 前者製作成一首成人流行抒情曲

旋律悅耳  狄昂的詮釋深情動人

乍聽［Some Changes Are for Good］, 讓我直覺聯想到惠妮休斯頓（Whitney Houston）的［Greatest Love of All］

兩者有不小相似處

另有網友提到主歌部份與惠妮另一首名曲［Didn’t We Almost Have It All］

原來這三首歌曲的作者都是Michael Masser

而巧合的是　狄昂剛好又是惠妮的表姐

［Some Changes Are for Good］登上美國流行榜＃６５　成人當代榜＃２３　靈魂榜＃４３

被視為是專輯中的佳作
