乡村音乐:Best That You Can Do 你最该做的就是坠入爱

Best That You Can Do 你最该做的就是坠入爱河 演唱者：Christopher Cross

杜德利摩尔（Dudley Moore）与丽莎明妮莉（Liza Minnelli）一九八一年合作的《二八佳人花公子》描述如同是“麻雀变凤凰”的爱情故事，杜德利在片中是有著万贯家财的小开，却整天无所事事、挥霍生命，直到他遇见了穷小妹丽莎，才找到人生的意义与爱情。该片成本只有七百万美元，却写下九千九百五十万美元的票房成绩，并拿下金球奖音乐与喜剧类最佳影片、最佳男主角、最佳男配角与最佳电影歌曲，奥斯卡则获得最佳男配角及最佳电影歌曲。

演唱主题曲的克里斯多夫克罗斯，当年真是享尽万千宠爱於一身，他以一九七九年推出的首张同名专辑及单曲《Sailing》，打败了强敌法兰克辛纳特拉（Frank Sinatra）与芭芭拉史翠珊（Barbra Streisand），在一九八○年葛莱美奖一举拿下年度专辑、年度唱片、年度歌曲、最佳编曲及最佳新人等五项大奖，光他一人就抱走了四座奖；创下一介新人首张专辑的最佳成绩纪录，至今仍无人能破。

外型高壮、长相平凡的克罗斯，却有著像张信哲一样的细致高音，与他的外型很不搭轧，但唱起民谣曲风歌曲却别有一番风味，他在得奖前不仅很难见诸报章，销量也不好，但一得奖不仅跃上报纸头条，专辑销售还成了市场黑马。


英文歌词
Once in your life¹ you will find her
Someone² who turns your heart³ around
And next thing you know
Yor're closing down the town
Wake⁴ up and it's still with you
Even⁵ though⁶ you left her way across⁷ town
Wondering⁸ to yourself⁹ Hey what have I found¹⁰?

When you get caught between the moon and New York City
I know it's crazy but it's true
If you get caught between the moon and New York City
The best that you can do
The best that you can do is fall in love

Arthur, he does as he pleases
All of his life his master's toys
And deep in his heart he's just He's just a boy
Living his life one day at a time
He's showing himself a pretty good time
He's laughing about the way they want him to be
