我不聽重金屬。可能大腦不夠男性化。
有句話：「重金屬團唱抒情歌，有一種很特別的味道。通常十分好聽。」
有沒有道理，你自己來評斷。
這首就是了。我最喜歡的歌曲之一。可以列入我的Top 40名單裡。
我想，這種歌曲迷人的地方在於：「特別，但不突兀；情深，卻不濫情」。
當然，平常嘶吼慣的喉嚨，轉來唱這種歌，其「柔性」似乎不足，但是在感情方面的呈現，有一種「質樸感」，和一般抒情歌手較黏膩纏綿的詮釋大相逕庭。聽來比較清新、乾脆。
而「剛性」，不用說了，是他們的強項，那種強度與力道，一般抒情歌手難望項背。
算是在傳統刻板中，殺出一條血路。
「Two out of Three Ain't Bad」內容十分悽愴，重頭至尾瀰漫著一股很深沉的無力感。
『哀莫大於心死』。
心死，死心，就是了。 就是這首歌要表達的意涵。
讓我想到金庸裡的「苗人鳳」，狂追離棄他的妻子。但是，再怎麼死纏爛打，到頭來，只剩下無盡的哀悽，和刻骨銘心的傷痛。
「此情可待成回憶，只是當時已惘然 」。 苦了古今中外多少人！
改寫托爾斯泰的一段話：「甜蜜的愛情，只有一種結局。不幸的戀情，有千變萬化的故事。」
（原文是：【幸福的家庭都是一樣的，不幸的家庭卻各有各的不幸】）
一般說來，我覺得失戀的歌曲比甜蜜的戀歌好聽，這又是個例子了。
訝異於主唱體型的人... 你們看看藝名嘛，人家很老實的。
Baby we can talk all night
But that aint getting us nowhere
I told you everything I possibly can
Theres nothing left inside of here
And maybe you can cry all night
But thatll never change the way that I feel
The snow is really piling up outside
I wish you wouldnt make me leave here
I poured it on and I poured it out
I tried to show you just how much I care
Im tired of words and Im too hoarse to shout
But youve been cold to me so long
Im crying icicles instead of tears
And all I can do is keep on telling you
I want you
I need you
But -- there aint no way Im ever gonna love you
Now dont be sad
cause two out of three aint bad
Now dont be sad
cause two out of three aint bad
Youll never find your gold on a sandy beach
Youll never drill for oil on a city street
I know youre looking for a ruby in a mountain of rocks
But there aint no coupe de ville hiding at the bottom of a cracker jack box
I cant lie
I cant tell you that Im something Im not
No matter how I try
Ill never be able
To give you something
Something that I just havent got
Theres only one girl that I will ever love
And that was so many years ago
And though I know Ill never get her out of my heart
She never loved me back
Ooh I know
I remember how she left me on a stormy night
She kissed me and got out of our bed
And though I pleaded and I begged her not to walk out that door
She packed her bags and turned right away
And she kept on telling me
She kept on telling me
She kept on telling me
I want you
I need you
But there aint no way Im ever gonna love you
Now dont be sad
cause two out of three aint bad
I want you
I need you
But there aint no way Im ever gonna love you
Now dont be sad
cause two out of three aint bad
Dont be sad
cause two out of three aint bad
Baby we can talk all night
But that aint getting us nowhere
