8/11推歌~Russell Watson(羅素華生)的「If You Don't Know Me By Now」(專輯「People Get Ready(蓄勢待發)」)

小評：

Russell Watson(羅素華生)這位來自英國的男聲，
之前對他完全不認識，
看封面只知道是位帥哥而已。

今天心血來潮好奇地聽聽他的音樂，
沒想到聽到了這首翻唱歌曲「If You Don't Know Me By Now」，
這首是35年前(1972)就已經發行過的歌曲，
原唱者不詳，
上YouTube找不到Russell Watson的演唱版本，
倒是找到了Simply Red唱的版本，
一首很美而且是種給人惆悵的優美的感覺，
尤其是副歌時的"If You Don't Know Me By Now"用合聲的唱法，
拉大了整個歌曲渲染的氛圍和範圍。

推薦給大家~一起來回味這首經典歌曲吧~~



If you don't know me by now
You will never never never know me

All the things
That we've been through
You should understand me
Like I understand you
Now girl I know the difference
Between right and wrong
I ain't gonna do nothing
To break up our happy home
Don't get so excited
When I come home
A little late at night
Cos we only act like children
When we argue fuss and fight

If you don't know me by now
You will never never never know me

We've all got our
Own funny moods
I've got mine,
Woman you've got yours too
Just trust in me like I trust in you
As long as we've been together
It should be so easy to do
Just get yourself together
Or we might as well say goodbye
What good is a love affair
When you can't see eye to eye

If you don't know me by now
You will never
Never never know me
