美國歌壇巨星［蒂娜透納］──合成流行／R&B──［Afterglow／餘輝］

I need you here beside me to chase the night away

I need your love to guide me safe through another day

I lie and watch the lights go down

Say goodnight to another town

And though it hurts to be alone

I have my thoughts of you to keep me warm

In the afterglow of your love

Dreamings all Im guilty of

Everyday Im playing tough

But read my mind

 

Chorus

If you could see me now

Just living my life in a limbo

If you could see me now

The me that only you would know

Still burning in the afterglow

 

When the beat of the drum has faded

The show comes to an end

The stage is cleared and loaded

And the highway calls again

I stand and watch the lights go down

In the afterglow of your love

Dreamings all Im guilty of

Everyday Im playing tough

But read my mind

 

Chorus

If you could see me now

Just living my life in a limbo

If you could see me now

The me that only you would know

Still burning in the afterglow

 

Stay with me right to the end

Till I can hold you again

Repeat chorus

在以１９８４年第五張專輯〔Private Dancer／舞女〕東山再起後

１９８６年９月　近４７歲的美國黑人巨星蒂娜．透納（Tina Turner）乘勝追擊

推出第六張大碟〔Break Every Rule／打破成規〕

登上美國榜＃４　英國亞軍　德國冠軍　全球賣出數百萬張

專輯在各地區推出主打的單曲高達八首之多

其中最後一首為［Afterglow／餘輝］

此曲由Terry Britten,Graham Lyle譜寫, 前者製作成一首合成流行／R&B曲

在中板的節拍中, 蒂娜以相對溫柔的方式演繹

 

［Afterglow］只在美國舞曲界發行, 並沒打入Billboard單曲榜

而出現在副榜──Billboard舞曲播放榜＃５　舞曲混音銷售榜＃２０

透納並在１９８６年〔Break Every Rule〕的電視特別節目中為［Afterglow］拍攝錄影帶, 做為開頭曲

之後隔出來為宣傳影片
