歌詞

[Intro]

Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight

It must have been something you said

I just died in your arms tonight

[Verse 1]

I keep looking for something I can't get

Broken hearts lie all around me

And I don't see an easy way to get out of this

Her diary, it sits by the bedside table

The curtains are closed, the cats in the cradle

Who would've thought that a boy like me could come to this

[Hook]

Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight

It must've been something you said

I just died in your arms tonight

Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight

It must've been some kind of kiss

I should've walked away, I should've walked away

[Verse 2]

Is there any just cause for feeling like this?

On the surface, I'm a name on a list

I try to be discreet, but then blow it again

I've lost and found, it's my final mistake

She's loving by proxy, no give and all take

Cause I've been thrilled to fantasy one too many times

[Hook]

Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight

It must've been something you said

I just died in your arms tonight

Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight

It must've been some kind of kiss

I should've walked away, I should've walked away

[Bridge]

It was a long hot night

She made it easy, she made it feel right

But now it's over the moment has gone

I followed my hands not my head, I know I was wrong

[Guitar Solo]

[Hook]

Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight

It must've been something you said

I just died in your arms tonight

Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight

It must've been some kind of kiss

I should've walked away, I should've walked away

多添一點(diǎn)：

今天分享一首Cutting Crew的《(I Just) Died in Your Arms》。

小E找歌比較隨機(jī)，只要聽到好聽的就會推，今天這首歌就是如此。當(dāng)時(shí)聽到只覺得好聽，沒想到竟然是多國榜單的冠軍歌曲，看來對于好聽的音樂大家的品味是一致的。這首歌來自Cutting Crew1986年的首張專輯《Broadcast》。這首歌先在歐洲發(fā)行，然后在美國換封面和重新混音幾首曲目發(fā)行。這是他們唱片公司Virgin Record在美國發(fā)行的第一張專輯，也成為樂隊(duì)最熱門的歌曲。在美國、加拿大和芬蘭登頂榜單冠軍，在英國、南非、瑞典和瑞士進(jìn)入前五。

這首歌由Cutting Crew主唱Nick Van Eede創(chuàng)作，他講述了這首歌的創(chuàng)作過程：“是的，我不能撒謊。這是一首關(guān)于我女朋友的歌(她實(shí)際上是我女兒的母親)。在分開一年后的某個晚上，我們又在一起了，我想我們之間擦出一些火花，但我有些不確定。因此有了歌詞，'I should have walked away。'我知道這聽起來很老土，但那天早上我一覺醒來，一個小時(shí)內(nèi)就寫好了基本的歌詞，三天內(nèi)就完成了小樣的創(chuàng)作和錄制?！?/section>

標(biāo)題這句話是Nick Van Eede在和女友鼓掌時(shí)說的，“死亡”經(jīng)常被用作高潮的隱喻。Nick Van Eede寫下了這句話，用它作為標(biāo)題和這首歌的hook。

他們?yōu)閂irgin Record進(jìn)入美國市場帶來了巨大利益，但最初他們簽約的是Siren record唱片公司，這個公司是Virgin Record的子公司。所以他們火了之后帶來了很多麻煩，以至于都讓他們寫出“I got a brick but I can't find a window”的歌詞吐槽了。

Mika在他2007年的歌曲“Relax (Take It Easy)”中大量使用了這首歌。另外說唱和R&B藝術(shù)家也會經(jīng)常取樣或者翻唱這首。比如Jay-Z就翻唱了這首歌，Amerie在她的單曲《I Just Died》中也使用了這首歌。Nick Van Eede對此毫不意外，他說：“我和其他歌曲作者一樣知道，這些一定會發(fā)生，這就是作曲世界的方式。”
