黎安萊姆絲＆崔夏宜爾伍──兩大鄉村天后的交集──電影〔空中監獄〕插曲--抒情冠軍經典──〔How Do I Live〕

〔How Do I Live〕

How do I,
Get through the night without you?
If I had to live without you,
What kind of life would that be?
Oh, I
I need you in my arms, need you to hold,
Youre my world, my heart, my soul,
If you ever leave,
baby you would take away everything good in my life,

and tell me now
How do I live without you?
I want to know,
How do I breathe without you?
If you ever go,
How do I ever, ever survive?
How do I, how do I, oh how do I live?

Without you,
Thered be no sun in my sky,
There would be no love in my life,
Thered be no world left for me.
And I,
Baby I dont know what I would do,
Id be lost if I lost you,
If you ever leave,
Baby you would take away everything real in my life,

And tell me now,
How do I live without you?
I want to know,
How do I breathe without you?
If you ever go,
How do I ever, ever survive?
How do I, how do I, oh how do I live?

Please tell me baby,
How do I go on?

If you ever leave,
Baby you would take away everything,
I need you with me,
Baby dont you know that youre everything,
Real in my life?

And tell me now,
How do I live without you,
I want to know,
How do I breathe without you?
If you ever go,
How do I ever, ever survive?
How do I, how do I, oh how do I live?

How do I live without you?

How do I live without you baby?

LeAnn Rimes

１９９７年夏初　美國當紅炸子雞／黎安萊姆絲LeAnn Rimes推出〔How Do I Live〕
當時由尼可拉斯凱吉主演的暑期大片〔Con Air／空中監獄〕決定以詞曲天后Diane Warren所寫的〔How Do I Live〕
LeAnn 也極力爭取
導演在聽完她與同是鄉村紅星的Trisha Yearwood的版本後
認為黎安的聲音比較稚嫩(會嗎？我覺得她的聲音超熟的)
於是選擇了後者的版本
LeAnn 一氣之下 仍然決定推出單曲
而且選在跟Trisha Yearwood<How Do I Live>同一天發行
結果呢 崔夏的版本得到樂評 葛萊美獎與鄉村榜亞軍的肯定
黎安則在流行榜與銷售上打了勝仗
這首Country-Pop抒情傑作登上美國流行榜亞軍
成人抒情榜冠軍 　舞曲銷售榜　鄉村榜＃４３
１９９８鄉村銷售榜年終冠軍
銷售超過三百萬張　在流行榜上停留整整超過一年(前十名就待了八個月)
成為史上的長命單曲之一
並且是有史以來又賣的鄉村歌曲
當時Billlboard還特別為它叫屈
認為〔How Do I Live〕絕對有登上冠軍的資格
卻始終與后座無緣(當然是因為它們的計分政策之故囉)
此曲還很難得１９９７＆１９９８連續兩年名列流行榜年終Top１０
可見它受歡迎的程度

國外反應亦佳　分別拿到英國＃７　挪威＃４　荷蘭＃５　澳洲＃１７　加拿大＃１９　瑞士＃２４　奧地利＃２４
〔How Do I Live〕後來收錄在LeAnn 秋天發行的冠軍大碟〔You Light Up My Life—Inspirational Songs〕中
不管是原版或舞曲混音皆很動聽

Trisha Yearwood

１９９７年夏天　[Con Air／空中監獄]導演本來打算請鄉村小天后LeAnn Rimes演唱Diane Warren譜寫的主題曲〔How Do I Live〕
可是聽了成品後 覺得這位當時尚未年滿１５歲的少女詮釋不夠成熟
因此又請另一位鄉村界另一位天后級的紅星崔夏宜爾伍／Ｔrisha Yearwood重新演繹
兩相比較之下 後者雀屏中選
〔How Do I Live〕是首AC風格的Country-Pop Ballad (收錄在她的精選輯－Songbook)
崔夏的嗓音低沉溫柔 的確唱出跟黎安不一樣的感覺 
此曲登上美國流行榜＃２３　鄉村榜亞軍　澳洲＃２
Rimes的版本也推出單曲　並廣受歡迎
Trisha Yearwood雖然在銷售上屈居下風
不過卻獲得更多樂評肯定
〔How Do I Live〕為她得到葛萊美獎最佳鄉村女歌手與鄉村音樂獎最佳女歌手的肯定
並得到奧斯卡電影歌曲提名
雖然我個人是比較喜歡LeAnn Rimes的〔How Do I Live〕
但Trisha 的版本也很耐人尋味
兩者各有其特色
