日本創作歌姬［竹内 まりや／竹內瑪莉亞］──城市流行／靈魂／迪斯可舞曲──［Sweetest Music／最甜美的音樂］

 

You make the sweetest music

You are so good for me

Every time were together

Automatic harmony

Cause I always thought that life was a hard-luck story

And love was a savin glory when you came along

Taught me how to sing a happy song

You make the sweetest music

You are so good to me

Were gonna last forever

Two-hearted melody

Mama always said that Id find the right somebody

I must have been looking the other way

You came from afar played my heart just like a sweet guitar

So, if youre feeling left behind and so down-hearted

There is love to find, so just get started

Maybe its just overdue cause if it happens to me

It sure can happen to you

You make the sweetest music

You are so good for me

Every time were together

Automatic harmony

(You make the sweetest music)

You make the sweetest music

You are so good to me

Were gonna last forever

Two-hearted melody

(You make the sweetest music, baby)

You make the sweetest music

You are so good for me

Every time were together

Automatic harmony

(You make the sweetest music)

 

１９８０年１２月５日　２５歲半的日本創作流行歌手竹内まりや／竹內瑪莉亞（Takeuchi Mariya）推出第四張錄音室大碟［Miss M］（RCA／RVC出版）

由宮田茂樹＋村上優製作

唱片的L.A. Side在美國洛杉磯錄製, 有許多外籍音樂人參與, 也請洛杉磯攝影Alan Levenson拍攝專輯照片

大碟登上Oricon專輯榜＃１４　榜上銷售賣出７.３萬張　對比上上冠軍大碟［Love Songs］的３６萬張銷售下降許多

 

首支先發單曲［二人のバカンス］只拿到Oricon單曲榜＃４２

第二主打［Sweetest Music／最甜美的音樂］為英文歌曲, 與專輯同日發行

David Lasley填詞、Peter Allen譜曲

Greg Mathieson負責弦樂／喇叭編曲, Bill Champlin負責合聲浪編排

加拿大／美國樂團Airplay成員Jay Graydon, David Foster負責節奏編曲

這是首融合迪斯可, 與靈魂於一身的舞曲

節奏輕快, 旋律討好, 美國味強烈──除了竹內瑪莉亞的英語發音腔調明顯外（本為英與文學系肄業）

 

雖然歌曲動聽, 但此時竹內聲勢短暫下滑, 加上又是英語歌曲,

［Sweetest Music］並沒打入Oricon單曲榜

不過Alan Levenson拍攝的單曲封面卻因２０１７年網路youtuber將其作為上傳［PLASTIC LOVE］視頻照片, 再度受人矚目

Anyway, ［Sweetest Music］是竹內瑪莉亞未紅的遺珠之一
