被称为“大粒痣” 的美国黑人歌手Aaron Neville天赋一把圆润柔美,幼细滑溜的阴柔嗓子,与他粗犷豪壮的外表形成强烈的反差。正如这张专辑名称《Warm Your Heart》那样,他为所有心中已没有歌声与快乐的人、所有感到孤独无助的人歌唱,努力用歌声安抚他们,减轻他们的痛苦,给予他们勇气,温暖他们伤痛失望的心。
本张专辑来自1991年A&M Records的录音,十年后,经过优秀的XRCD2技术重新混音和制版后推出,声音相比原版录音更趋于完美,也见证了十年来数字音频的长足进步:高歌时那浑然天成的嗓子,听似漫不经心,却令人悠然神往。富有特色的人声与伴奏音效都有无可匹敌的质感和保真度!高低频均处理得洽到好处,大部份曲目有极其丰富,不乏弹性的低频,而且决不混浊。有时打击乐更具震撼力!譬如《I Bid Your Good Night》,感觉有相当的中频密度感,声场呈扇形分布,纵深感强烈。除Aaron润厚凝重的人声外,左边吉它,右边低沉的男声和音以及劲爆的鼓声,每个音符都给人以如临其境的感觉,并将Aaron歌喉的磁性,浑厚的情感表露无遗。《Louisiana 1927》里鼓声沉稳有力,歌声却更富有感情,弦乐轻松自然,空气感也自是上佳之作;《Everybody Plays The Fool》里伴奏的低音吉他清晰而有力、明快而平衡,而人声与伴奏的和谐更是妙不可言,整张唱片里,Aaron的口型都应该是非常清晰的。
相信大家都不会相信这样的声音会出自这样的脸,但是没错,这首歌就是出自这张长相憨厚的人,声音与长相完全不成对比,声音非常柔美,唱腔独特,令他的歌让人听了颇有感觉,很有味道...这首是我喜欢的他的歌之一...家里也只有他两张专集有点郁闷...

歌词:
I’m changing my mind,
Never gonna learn about how to feel again
Cause you, you’ve opened my heart,
And I just can’t hide, I love you still.
I know you mean it, when you say you need me,
You say you won’t leave me, you’ll always be here,
You won’t regret it, cause I’ll never leave you,
And I won’t deceive you, I need you too,
Yes, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you,
Yes, I love you, I love you, I love you,
Oh I do, girl, I love you
We belong together, loving forever, enjoying this life,
We’ll do what’s right, we’ll do it tonight, will you be my wife
I know you mean it, when you say you need me, won’t ever leave me,
Saying you’ll be right here my baby,
You won’t regret it, no, don’t you forget it,
I’ll never deceive you, I need you too.
I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you,
Yes, I love you, I love you,
I love you
Forgive me for what I’ve put you through,
I’m learning to put my trust in you,
Believe in me and I’ll show you,
Cause I’ll always be here,
I love you
I love you baby, oh I love you baby, I love you,
I love you, from the bottom of my heart girl,
I love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you
I love you
I love you, love you, love you, love you, I love you, I love you
I love you, love you, I love you,
Oh believe me darling
Save The Best For Last - Vanessa Williams
Sometimes the snow comes down in June
Sometimes the sun goes 'round the moon
I see the passion in your eyes
Sometimes it's all a big surprise
'Cause there was a time when all I did was wish
You'd tell me this was love
It's not the way I hoped or how I planned
But somehow it's enough
And now we're standing face to face
Isn't this world a crazy place
Just when I thought our chance had passed
You go and save the best for last
All of the nights you came to me
When some silly girl had set you free
You wondered how you'd make it through
I wondered what was wrong with you
'Cause how could you give your love to someone else
And share your dreams with me
Sometimes the very thing you're looking for
Is the one thing you can't see
And now we're standing face to face
Isn't this world a crazy place
Just when I thought our chance had passed
You go and save the best for last
Sometimes the very thing you're looking for
Is the one thing you can't see
Sometimes the snow comes down in June
Sometimes the sun goes 'round the moon
Just when I thought our chance had passed
You go and save the best for last
You went and saved the best for last
