De Burgh是一位英国外交官的儿子，然而他却走上了歌唱道路。当De Burgh在都柏林Trinity 大学求学时，他已经开始凭着对音乐的痴迷与爱恋进行流行歌曲的创作。De Burgh签约 A&M唱片公司后，成为Supertramp的主要成员，1975年他们取得了巨大的成功。De Burgh的《For Beyond These Cast-e Wall》推出的时候，恬逢Moody Blues风行乐坛，De Burgh被掩盖在其浓荫之下，尽管如此，他用轻摇滚演绎的历史幻想还是引起了乐评的注意，他们认为De Burgh的歌曲具有一种超人的洞察力，这张专辑的一首单曲《Flying》虽然在英国表现并不很出色，却在巴西流行乐排行榜上取得了No.1。
It's five past dreams, I should be home asleep,
But I just want to keep this moment alive, it's just you and I,
And I can't deny that I've had too much to drink tonight,
But everybody's gone, and we're still going strong,
Thinking of bed, dancing instead, you're lovely in red;
And we are moving cheek to cheek, and I know that I'm with
The only one who makes it right, it's in your eyes, and your smile,
And the way you look tonight;
It's five past dreams, the world is waking up, just like I should
Have done a long time ago, maybe I'm slow, I just didn't know,
That the saviour of my heart is right here, in my arms, you are
The one who makes it right with your eyes, and your smile,
And the way you look tonight;
And I know that I'm with the only one who makes it right,
It's in your eyes, and your smile, and the way you look tonight;
With your eyes, and the way you look tonight. |
