Waiting For A Girl Like You - Foreigner
蓝妹啤酒广告歌曲
While quite a few arena rock acts of the 70s found the transformation into the 80s quite difficult, several acts continued to flourish and enjoyed some of their biggest commercial success: Journey, Styx, REO Speedwagon, and especially Foreigner. Foreigners leader from the beginning has been British guitarist Mick Jones, who first broke into the music biz as a hired gun of sorts, appearing on recordings by George Harrison and Peter Frampton, and as part of a later-day version of hard rockers Spooky Tooth. By the mid-70s, Jones had relocated to New York City, where he was a brief member of the Leslie West Band and served as an A&R man for a record company. But it wasnt long before Jones felt the urge to be part of another rock outfit as he sought to put together a band that would be able to combine elements of rock, progressive, R&B, and pop into a single, cohesive style.
乐队成立于1976年，原始成员一共有六位，他们之所以这样命名自己的乐队，是因为团员中英籍和美籍各占一半，麦克·琼斯(Mick Jones)是乐团的领导者，也是整个乐团的核心人物。
乐队的主要团员有：吉它手麦克·琼斯 (1944年10月27日生于伦敦)，主唱劳·格汉姆(Lou Grimm，1950年5月2日生于纽约)，贝司手艾迪·格里拉第 (Ed Graglardi，1952年2月13日生于纽约)，键琴手伊安·麦克唐纳(Ian McDonald，1946年6月25日生于伦敦)。
专辑《4》中一共有5首单曲发行成小唱片，造成了不小的声势，凭借这股声势，1982年夏天，动用了大批人力、物力举行了一连串的大型演唱会，轰动一时。轰动过后是两年时间的沉默。终于在1985年，推出新专辑《Agent Provocateur》此时正逢“外国佬”成立10周年，新专辑具有特别的纪念意义，《I Want Know What Love iS》是“外国佬”的经典作品，曾在英美流行歌曲徘行榜Top1O之内停留了很长时间。
歌词：
so long, i've been looking too hard
i've been waiting too long
sometimes i don't know what i will find
i only know it's a matter of time
when you love someone, when you love someone
it feels so right, so warm and true
i need to know if you feel it too
maybe i'm wrong, won't you tell me if i'm coming on too strong
this heart of mine has been hurt before,
this time i wanna be sure
i've been waiting for a girl like you to come into my life
i've been waiting for a girl like you, your loving will survive
i've been waiting for someone new to make me feel alive
yeah, waiting for a girl like you to come into my life
you're so good, when we make love it's understood
it's more than a touch or a word can say
only in dreams could it be this way
when you love someone, yeah, really love someone
now i know it's right, from the moment i wake up till deep in the night
there's nowhere on earth that i'd rather be than holding you tenderly
i've been waiting for a girl like you to come into my life
i've been waiting for a girl like you, your loving will survive
i've been waiting for someone new to make me feel alive
yeah, waiting for a girl like you to come into my life
i've been waiting, waiting for you,
ooh, i've been waiting
i've been waiting
(i've been waiting for a girl like you, i've been waiting)
won't you come into my life?所属专辑： 4
