加拿大魁北克法裔天后[席琳狄翁]──軟式搖滾/成人流行抒情曲──[Miles to Go (Before I Sleep)/漫漫長路(在我入睡前)]
I would walk to the edge of the universe for you
Paint you a crimson sunset over sheltering skies
I could learn all the world dialects for you
Whisper sonnets in your ear discovering truth
I could never worship pagan gods around me
I will only follow the path that leads me
To you, baby, always
Every step I take for you
I will always defend, never pretend
That every breath I take for love
I could never be wrong
The journey is long
With miles to go before I sleep
Miles to go before I sleep
I would carry the rock of Gibraltar just for you
Lifted like a pebble from the beach to the skies
I could build you a bridge that spans the ocean wide
But the greatest gift I give you would be to stand by your side
Some can criticize and sit in judgment of us, babe
But they cant take away the love that lives inside us always
Every step I take for you
I will always defend, never pretend
That every breath I take for love
I could never be wrong
The journey is long
With miles to go before I sleep
Miles to go before I sleep
I wont run from the changing signs along
The highway
Let the rivers flow to the highest ground
Created
Every step I take for you
I will always defend, never pretend, ooh, yeah
That every breath I take for love
I could never be wrong
The journey is long
With miles to go before I sleep
Miles to go before I sleep
Miles to go before I sleep
1997年11月14日 29歲半的加拿大法裔天后席琳狄翁(Celine Dion)發行第五張英語大碟[Lets Talk About Love/說愛](550 Music/Columbia/Epic Records).
製作群包括Walter Afanasieff,David Foster,Humberto Gatica,Corey Hart,James Horner,George Martin,Billy Pace,Tony Renis,Jim Steinman,Ric Wake等.
雖然樂評好壞兩極,但商業成功,登上加, 法, 英, 美……數十國冠軍.
全球銷售3000多萬張,與第五張英語大碟[Falling into You]一樣大賣
沿續其事業高峰.
專輯在各地推出多首單曲.
在加拿大,[Miles to Go (Before I Sleep)/漫漫長路(在我入睡前)]雖未發行單曲,卻受到電台放送.
此曲由加拿大歌手柯瑞哈特 (Corey Hart) 創作,
歌名[Miles to Go (Before I Sleep)]也是Robert Frost1923年創作的詩作《Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening/雪夜林邊駐足》的結尾。
在給定的短語中,“sleep”一詞表示死亡。
因此,詩中的「人生漫漫,欲罷不能」(miles to go before I sleep)意為在死亡之前,人生還有許多目標需要實現。
然而,哈特的歌詞卻以隱喻的方式將愛情運用到詩歌中:「我為愛所做的每一次呼吸,我都永遠不會錯,旅程漫長,在入睡前,我還有漫長的路要走。」
柯瑞哈特製作成一首軟式搖滾/成人流行抒情曲,
在悠緩的速讀中,席琳以細膩的唱腔將歌曲逐漸帶向高潮.
[Miles to Go (Before I Sleep)]登上加拿大成人當代榜#17(1998年榜#81).
憑藉[Miles to Go (Before I Sleep)a和[Where Is the Love](柯瑞為席琳創作另一首歌),哈特於1998年獲得朱諾獎年度製作人提名。
