Against All Odds(如此艰难)这是作者菲尔·柯林斯( Phil Collins)自写、自唱、自己打鼓的歌曲,是同名电影"再看我一眼"的插曲,在美国连续三周占据排行榜冠军。这首歌曲之所以成为情歌中的经曲,精彩的并不是它的歌词,而是它抑扬顿挫、感天动地的旋律和演唱。钢琴和吉他勾勒了演唱主线的粗线条,而键琴则铺垫了厚重而深沉的氛围,尤其在歌曲结束处,菲尔·柯林斯缠绵执著的演唱,伴随着有力的鼓点,实在让人动容!
菲尔·科林斯( Phil Collins)全名菲利普·大卫·查尔斯·科林斯( Philip David Charles Collins), 1987年和 1988年,他连续两次获得美国作曲家、作家和出版家协会颁发的最佳歌曲作者奖!
Against All Odds歌词赏析:
How can I just let you walk away
我怎能让你离开
Just let you leave without a trace
让你消失得无影无踪
When I stand here taking every breath with you
当我站在这儿和你一起呼吸的时候
you're the only one
你是唯一一个
Who really knew me at all

How can you just walk away from me
你怎能就这样离开我
When all I can do is watch you leave
我只能无奈的看着你走
We've shared the laughter and the pain
因为我们曾一起同甘共苦
And even shared the tears
甚至那泪水也一起分享
You're the only one who really knew me at all
你是唯一真正懂我的人
So take a look at me now
所以现在再看我一眼吧
Because there's just an empty space
这儿只剩下空洞的一片
And there's nothing left here to remind me
现在再也没什么值得我回忆
Just the memory of your face

And you coming back to me
