英國創作才女［安妮．藍妮克絲］＆牙買加雷鬼歌手［巴布馬利］的交集──成人流行抒情曲──［Waiting in Vain／空等］
From the very first time I rest my eyes on you, boy
My heart said follow through but I know now
That Im way down on your line
But the waiting feelings fine
So dont treat me like a puppet on a string
Because I know how to do my thing
Dont talk to me as if you think Im dumb
I want to know when youre gotta come, you see
I dont want to wait in a vain for your love
I dont want to wait in a vain for your love
I dont want to wait in a vain for your love
Cause summer is here
And Im still waiting there
Winter is here
Im still waiting there
Like I said
Its been three years since Im knocking on your door
And still I can knock some more
Ooh boy, ooh boy, is it crazy look, I want to know now
For I to knock some more, you see
In life I know
That there is lots of grief
But your love is my relief
Tears in my eyes burn
Tears in my eyes burn
While Im waitin
While Im waitin for my turn, you see
I dont want to wait in a vain for your love
I dont want to wait in a vain for your love
I dont want to wait in a vain for your love
Cause summer is here
And Im still waiting there
Winter is here
Im still waiting there
Like I said
I dont want to, I dont want to
I dont want to, I dont want to
I dont want to wait in vain
I dont want to, I dont want to
I dont want to, I dont want to
I dont want to wait in vain
Its been three years since Im knocking on your door
And still I can knock some more
Ooh boy, ooh boy, is it crazy look, I want to know now
Like I said, the tears in my eyes burn
Tears in my eyes burn
While Im waiting
While Im waiting for my turn, you see
Ooh boy, ooh boy, is it crazy look, I want to know now
For I to knock some more
In life I know there is lots of grief
But your love is my relief
１９９５年春天 ３７歲的英國蘇格蘭創作才女安妮．藍妮克絲（Annie Lennox）發行第二張錄音室專輯〔Medusa／美杜莎〕（RCA／Arista）
仍由Stephen Lipson製作。
專輯翻唱許多老歌 只是樂評好壞不一
但商業表現依舊成功
登上英國榜冠軍（雙白金） 美國榜＃１１（雙白金） 德國＃４（金唱片） 法國＃５（金唱片） 加拿大冠軍（雙白金）
歐洲Top１０（雙白金） 全球賣出五百多萬張, 與上張［Diva］相近
首支單曲［No More I Love Your’s］也登上英國榜亞軍 美國榜＃２３
第二主打［A Winter Shade of Pale／蒼白冬影］登上英國榜＃１６ 美國榜外＃１０１
１９９５年９月, 安妮推出第三單曲［Waiting in Vain／空等］
這是翻唱牙買加雷鬼歌手巴布馬利＆痛哭者（Bob Marley & The Wailers）１９７７年推出的單曲（UK#27）
由巴布馬利創作
Stephen Lipson將此曲製作成一首成人流行抒情曲, 在輕柔的的節奏間, 安妮的沙啞嗓音以溫煦的方式演繹, 頗具療癒效果
［Waiting in Vain／空等］登上英國單曲榜＃３１ 澳大利亞＃１１７
MV中, 安妮再度以誇張造型──戴著米老鼠／米妮耳朵頭飾的女僕裝演出
此曲收在２００１年美國浪漫喜劇電影［美國情緣／Serendipity］, 再度受到矚目
