勿伤我心
托尼.布莱克斯顿(Toni Braxton)被誉为蓝调(R&B)天后。67年生于美国马里兰州,受父亲影响,小时侯入教堂的儿童唱诗班演唱。托尼.布莱克斯顿中学到大学都延续接受了不同类别的音乐教育和培训,大学毕业还短暂做过音乐老师。后来被音乐制作人发现其才华,助其录制了首支单曲<The Good Life>,开始了她的个人演唱生涯。其实在欧美,托尼.布莱克斯顿的名气和所取得的成就是相当惊人的。得过三次格莱美音乐奖,三次全美音乐大奖,两次soul train奖和其他两个奖项。在R&B音乐领域,以时代来划分的话,托尼.布莱克斯顿应该是大姐和天后级的。布莱克斯顿的嗓音音域宽广和稳定,低音的磁性延展度极强,醇厚中极为温暖,(个人感觉比惠特妮好很多)高亢时的高音爆发力也极具感染,但收发自如,显露出在唱腔控制上的娴熟技巧,她的慢歌,忧伤但不觉郁闷。因为嗓音醇厚无杂质,中低音域给人很有力量的感觉,所以她唱出的忧伤丝毫不使人绝望,反倒有悲喜过后平静道来的安静感受。(感觉太丰富了,不一而足,慢慢听去自己感觉吧)
这是天后托尼.布莱斯顿96年攀登歌唱事业巅峰的代表作,歌曲连霸全美流行榜、抒情榜、舞曲销售榜、舞曲点播榜等4大排行榜冠军,收录这首单曲的专辑「Secrets」在全球的销售超过1400万张,这首歌曲的成功让原本走节奏蓝调美声路线的她全面的征服流行音乐市场。布莱斯顿悲亢、激情的歌声彻底表现出遭遇情伤後那种痛彻心扉的感受,为她赢得葛莱美奖最佳流行女歌手大奖。

Don′t leave me in all this pain
Don′t leave me out in the rain
Come back and bring back my smile Come and take these tears away
I need your arms to hold me now The nights are so unkind
Bring back those nights when I held you beside me Un-break my heart
Say you′ll love me again Undo this hurt you caused
When you walked out the door And walked outta my life
Un-cry these tears I cried so many nights
Un-break my heart My heart
Take back that sad word good-bye Bring back the joy to my life
Don′t leave me here with these tears Come and kiss this pain away
I can′t forget the day you left Time is so unkind
And life is so cruel without you here beside me Un-break my heart
Say you′ll love me again Undo this hurt you caused
When you walked out the door And walked outta my life
Un-cry these tears I cried so many nights
Un-break my heart
My heart Don′t leave me in all this pain
Don′t leave me out in the rain Bring back the nights when I held you beside me
Un-break my heart Say you′ll love me again
Undo this hurt you caused When you walked out the door
And walked outta my life Un-cry these tears
I cried so many, many nights Un-break my
Un-break my heart
Come back and say you love me Un-break my heart
Sweet darlin′ Without you I just can′t go on Can′t go on
