紅髮性感歌手貝琳達卡萊兒──浪漫迷人的〔留下一點微光／Leave A Light On〕

Writers : Rick Nowels, Ellen Shipley

Take my hand
Tell me what you are feeling
Understand
This is just the beginning

Although I have to go
It makes me feel like crying
I don't know when I'll see you again

Darling leave a light on for me
I'll be there before you close the door
To give you all the love that you need
Darling leave a light on for me
'cause when the world takes me away
You are still the air that I breathe

I can't explain I just don't know
Just how far I have to go
But darling I'll keep the key
Just leave a light on for me

Yes I know
What I'm asking is crazy
You could go
Just get tired of waiting
But if I lose your love
Torn out by my desire
That would be the one regret of my life

Just like a spark lights up the dark
Baby that's your heart

１９７８年成為新浪潮女子樂團Go-Go’s主唱

１９８１年推出首專輯大賣走紅

可惜無法承受成名之累　迷失在性愛　藥物與酒精中

Go-Go’s於１９８５年解散

貝琳達卡萊兒在歷經戒酒 戒藥以及減肥努力後

１９８６年 嫁給英國影壇巨星詹姆士梅遜兒子Morgan Mason

這是一段幸福的婚姻

同年推出個人首張大碟　單曲〔Mad About You〕打進美國榜＃３

專輯銷售也達金唱片　成功東山再起

１９８７年秋天推出的第二張大碟〔Heaven On Earth〕更是成為白金唱片

單曲〔Heaven Is A Place On Earth〕登上英美兩地冠軍

〔I Get Weak，＃２〕〔Circle In The Sand，＃７〕也先後成為暢銷曲

１９８９年秋天貝琳達卡萊兒推出第三張專輯〔脫韁之馬／Runaway Horse〕
首支單曲為〔Leave A Light On〕
這是首節奏強勁　旋律流暢的流行搖滾
在貝琳達的感性唱腔與豐厚的合音烘托下
將〔Leave A Light On〕襯托顯得格外迷人
此曲也被選為Corona汽車廣告所用的背景歌曲

〔Leave A Light On〕是我對貝琳達卡萊兒的初次認識

在９０年代乍聽此曲就相當驚豔
它與另一首〔I Get Weak〕至今仍是我最喜歡的貝琳達卡萊兒歌曲
〔Leave A Light On〕在美國流行榜得到＃１１　成人抒情榜＃８　英國榜＃４　澳洲＃５ 奧地利＃４　瑞典＃８　瑞士＃８
至於ｍｖ似乎似乎是在賭城拉斯維加斯與沙漠曠野公路間拍的
貝琳達化身帥氣女郎　高雅貴婦　性感歌手演唱著這首歌曲
推薦給喜歡８０年代末期音樂的人
