1988年汉城奥运会美国队队歌,是众多歌迷心中最经典的奥运歌曲。这首歌由曾是木匠兄妹( Carpenters)固定的写词班底约翰班提斯( John Bettis)谱写,歌词砥砺人们力争上游、勇往直前,很启发人心,一推出后便成很多歌迷对奥运歌曲的代表作,虽然只有拿到美国告示牌第五名成绩,却在英、德等欧洲国家拿下冠军,而且至今传唱不辍!
在 1989年的格莱美颁奖典礼上, Whitney Houston又再一次开嗓,这次的演唱,其投入的感情,浑厚,高亢的嗓音把在座观众深深地震撼住了,声音刚落,全场起立,报以最热烈的掌声。后来新闻媒体争相高调报道这次的表演,称它为音乐史上的一个奇迹,的确,它也是 whitney歌唱史上的 one moment in time!这次的表演,可以用一句话这样概括:把格莱美现场的天顶给掀翻了!
歌词赏析:
Each day I live
I want to be a day to give the best of me
I'm only one but not alone
My finest day is yet unknown
I broke my heart for every gain
To taste the sweet
I faced the pain
I rise and fall yet through it all
This much remains
I want one moment in time
When I'm more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away
And the answers are all up to me
Give me one moment in time
When I'm racing with destiny
Then in that one moment of time
I will feel I will feel eternity
I will live to be the very best
I want it all no time for less
I've laid the plans
Now lay the chance here in my hands
Give me one moment in time
When I'm more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away
And the answers are all up to me
Give me one moment in time
When I'm racing with destiny
Then in that one moment of time
I will feel I will feel eternity
You're a winner for a lifetime
If you seize that one moment in time
Make it shine
Give me one moment in time
When I'm more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away
And the answers are all up to me
Give me one moment in time
When I'm racing with destiny
Then in that one moment of time
I will be I will be I will be free
