Air Supply乐队资料
Air Supply 在 80 年代成为美国最成功的柔情流行演唱组之一。乐队以创作伙伴 Russell Hitchcock 和 Graham Russell 为核心,于 1976 年成立并很快在本国取得了成功。
1977 年,他们作为 Rod Stewart 的暖场乐队在美国巡回表演 60 天,在大批接受他们摇滚风格的观众面前展现了自己的才华。除 Hitchcock(歌手)和 Russell(歌手/吉他)之外,这支巡回演出乐队还包括 Frank Esler - Smith、Ken Rarick(键盘手)、Wally Stocker(吉他手)、Danald Cromwell(贝司手)和 Ralph Cooper(鼓手)。
在加入 Arista 唱片公司之后,乐队在排行榜上取得了成功。推出的单曲《Lost In Love》在 1980 年一经进入美国市场就立刻造成了轰动,成为当年排行榜第 3 名,并在此后几年一直稳居排行榜前 5 名。单曲《The One That You Love》也问鼎排行榜,成为金唱片。《All Out Of Love》在 1980 年 9 月排名第 11,成为在英国销量最大的单曲。进入美国专辑排行榜的《Lost In Love》(1980)、《The One That You Love》(1981)和《Now And Forever》(1982)都成为金唱片和白金唱片。
1983 年,演唱组的精选集出版,并卖掉了 400 万张。两年后,他们出版了第 4 张专辑《Air Supply》,听众对该专辑的反映比较冷淡,只有“Just As I Am”进入排行榜第 19 名,这是第 1 张没有成为金唱片的专辑。接下来的《Herats In Motion》(1986)依然没有成功,只获得排行榜第 84 名,在这张令人失望的专辑出版不久,Air Supply 宣布解散。
5 年后,Hitchcock 和 Russell 重组 Air Supply,复出后的 Air Supply 先后出版了《The Earth Is…》(1991)、《The Vanishing Race》(1993)和《News From Nowhere》(1995),但结果是一样——都没有进入排行榜。
I know just how to whisper
And I know just how to cry
I know just where to find the answers
And I know just how to lie
I know just how to fake it
And I know just how to scheme
I know just when to face the truth
And then I know just when to dream
And I know just where to touch you
And I know just what to prove
I know when to pull you closer
And I know when to let you loose
And I know the night is fading
And I know the time's gonna fly
And I'm never gonna tell you everything I've gotta tell you
But I know I've gotta give it a try
And I know the roads to riches
And I know the ways to fame
I know all the rules and then I know how to break'em
And I always know the name of the game
But I don't know how to leave you
And I'll never let you fall
And I don't know how you do it
Making love out of nothing at all
Out of nothing at all, out of nothing at all
Out of nothing at all, out of nothing at all
Out of nothing at all
Making love out of nothing at all
Everytime I see you all the rays of the sun
Are streaming through the waves in your hair
And every star in the sky
Is taking aim at your eyes like a spotlight
The beating of my heart is a drum and it's lost
And it's looking for a rhythm like you
You can take the darkness at the pit of the night
And turn into a beacon burning endlessly bright
I've gotta follow it 'cause everything I know
Well, it's nothing 'till I give it to you
I can make the runner stumble
I can make the final block
And I can make every tackle at the sound of the whistle
I can make all the stadiums rock
I can make tonight forever
Or I can make it disappear by the dawn
I can make you every promise that has ever been made
And I can make all your demons be gone
But I'm never gonna make it without you
Do you really wanna see me crawl
And I'm never gonna make it like you do
Making love out of nothing at all
Out of nothing at all, out of nothing at all
Out of nothing at all, out of nothing at all
Out of nothing at all, out of nothing at all
Out of nothing at all
