華南師范大學(xué)外文學(xué)院英語(yǔ)系04級(jí)學(xué)生。喜歡英文，喜歡聽(tīng)英文歌曲，一首好的英文歌曲不僅讓我學(xué)到課文里學(xué)不到的知識(shí)，更讓我體味到歌者的人生。令我陶醉的不僅僅是動(dòng)人的旋律，找到每首歌的觸動(dòng)點(diǎn)，理解每首歌背后的故事才是我最大的享受。除了聽(tīng)歌還喜歡看看書(shū)，聽(tīng)歌讓我覺(jué)得享受，看書(shū)讓我覺(jué)得充實(shí)。
 歌手簡(jiǎn)介：他是四屆格萊美獎(jiǎng)得主，是R&B音樂(lè)教父級(jí)人物；他擁有超過(guò)兩千萬(wàn)張的唱片銷(xiāo)售記錄，被他魔力嗓音征服的聽(tīng)眾數(shù)以?xún)|計(jì)；他就是Luther
Vandross，美國(guó)最偉大的黑人男歌手之一。
我聽(tīng)之我見(jiàn)：
隨著前奏緩緩響起，一些很原始的情感也會(huì)開(kāi)始慢慢地涌動(dòng)。返璞歸真的歌詞極盡平凡，輕盈彌漫的節(jié)奏帶走所有沉重。一時(shí)之間，腦海只剩下那把完美的男聲在輕聲吟唱。淡淡的感動(dòng)在涌動(dòng),卻是來(lái)自?xún)?nèi)心最深處的。
Lyrics
Dance with my father by Luther Vandross
Back when I was a child
 Before life removed all the innocence
My father would
lift me high
And dance with my mother me then
Spin me around till I fell
asleep
Then up the stairs he would carry me
And I knew for sure I was
loved
If I could get another chance
Another walk
Another dance with
him.
I'd play a song that would never, ever end
How I love, love,
love
To dance with my father again
When I and my mother would disagree
To get my
way I would run from her to him
He'd make me laugh just to
comfort me
Then finally make me do just what my mama said
Later that night
when I was asleep
He left a dollar under my sheet
Never dreamed that
he would be gone from me
If I could steal one final glance
 One final step
One final dance with him
I'd play a
song that would never, ever end
Cause I love, love, love
To dance with my
father again
Sometimes I'd listen outside her door
And I'd hear how my
mother cried for him
I pray for her even more than me
I pray for her even
more than me
I know I'm praying so much too much
But could you send back the only man
she loved
I know u don't do it usually
But dear lord she's dying
To
dance with my father again
Every night I fall asleep this is all I ever
dream
