Don't You Break My Heart Slow - Vonda Shepherd with Emily Saliers

來見識一下，才女的功力吧。

「Don't You Break My Heart Slow」由Vonda Shepherd親自操刀，包辦詞曲。並邀來 Indigo Girls 的 Emily Saliers 助陣，來個二重唱。

這首歌，把戀愛中的女人，忐忑不安、患得患失的心境，表露無遺。
整曲哀怨、悽美又浪漫，雖然感傷，卻有著很迷人的一股氣氛。

其實 Vonda 的聲音，並不特別吸引我。我總覺得稍微尖銳了點，而在高音之處，又有些吃緊。但她寫的歌，真是好聽。看她這麼有才華又這麼努力，於是，被她的「誠意」感動啦。（歌迷多不理性啊！）

倒是插花的 Emily Saliers，低沉厚實又溫柔的嗓音，讓我大為著迷，馬上上網買她的專輯。結果有些失望，曲風偏鄉村，我比較沒興趣，好聽的歌也不太多。可惜了這聲音啊！




I like the way you wanted me
Every night for so long baby
I like the way you needed me
Every time things got rocky

I was believing in you
Am I mistaken do you say,
Do you say what you mean
I want our love to last forever

(chorus)

But I'd rather you be mean than love and lie
I'd rather hear the truth and have to say goodbye
I'd rather take a blow at least then I would know
But baby don't you break my heart slow

I like the way youd hold me
Every night for so long baby
And I like the way youd say my name
In the middle of the night
While you were sleeping

I was believing in you
Was I mistaken
Do you mean, mean what you say
When you say our love could last forever

(chorus)

Well I'd rather you be mean than love and lie
I'd rather hear the truth and have to say goodbye
I'd rather take a blow at least then I would know
But baby don't you break my heart slow

(bridge)
Youe would run around and lead me on forever
While I wait at home thinking that were together
I wanted our love to last forever

(chorus)

Well I'd rather you be mean than love and lie
I'd rather hear the truth and have to say goodbye
I'd rather take a blow at least then I would know
But baby don't you break my heart slow

(chorus)
