加拿大落腮鬍創作歌手［丹希爾］──流行抒情經典──［Sometimes When We Touch／當我們接觸時］

 

You ask me if I love you

And I choke on my reply

Id rather hurt you honestly

Than mislead you with a lie

 

And who am I to judge you

In what you say or do

Im only just beginning

To see the real you

 

And sometimes when we touch

The honestys too much

And I have to close my eyes

And hide

I want to hold you till I die

Till we both break down and cry

I want to hold you till the fear in me subsides

 

Romances in all strategy

Leaves me battling with my pride

But through the years security

Some tenderness survives

Im just another writer

Still trapped within my truth

A hesitant prize-fighter

Still trapped within my youth

 

And sometimes when we touch

The honestys too much

And I have to close my eyes

And hide

I want to hold you till I die

Till we both break down and cry

I want to hold you till the fear in me subsides

 

At times Id like to break you

And drive you to your knees

At times Id like to break through

And hold you endlessly

At times I understand you

And I know how hard you try

Ive watched while love commands you

And Ive watched love pass you by

At times I think were drifters

Still searching for a friend

A brother or a sister

But then the passion flares again

 

And sometimes when we touch

The honestys too much

And I have to close my eyes

And hide

I want to hold you till I die

Till we both break down and cry

I want to hold you till the fear in me subsides

１９５４年出生於多倫多的丹希爾（Dan Hill）是加拿大創作歌手以流行情歌, 抒情搖滾歌曲著稱,.

丹外型粗獷, 有著濃密的落腮鬍

但詮釋抒情歌卻細膩感性

 

希爾少年時期便開始學習吉他

１７歲在RCA唱片公司擔任詞曲作者, 一度於渥太華公家機關工作

１９７５年開始發行專輯, 但反應平凡

 

１９７７年, 丹發行第三張大碟［Longer Fuse］,由Matthew McCauley與Fred Mollin製作

１９７８年　希爾推出單曲［Sometimes When We Touch／當我們接觸時］

由丹填詞, Barry Mann譜曲, 是首鋼琴主導的成人抒情曲, 曲調柔美, 詮釋動人

這首歌曲發行後旋即受到歡迎, 登上加拿大單曲榜冠軍　, 年終榜高達＃４

成為丹在家鄉首支暢銷曲

國際反應良好

美國擠入Billboard告示榜單曲季軍（年終＃３３）　Easy Listenin／成人抒情榜亞軍

英國＃１３　澳洲＃３　紐西蘭＃４

讓２３歲的丹希爾終於一砲而紅

１９９３年, 丹發行精選輯［Let Me Show You - Greatest Hits and More］, 與女歌手Rique Franks重新對唱此曲, 打入加拿大單曲榜＃４６

 

［Sometimes When We Touch］旋律雋永, 至今已被視為抒情經典, 被許多歌手翻唱過,

也是希爾事業最著名的歌曲
