在偉大航道上勇往直前尋寶中

我喜歡聽抒情歌，因為不論任何時間抒情歌聽起來很舒服，Slow Jam是一首適合情侶一起聽的抒情歌，什麼是Slow Jam呢？在1970年代時 to slo jam 就是跳一種兩人身體緊緊相黏只能搖動屁股的舞，嘿嘿~聽起來很romnatic齁 >///<

這首歌是Usher和Monica合唱的，第一次聽到是在1997年的電影Soul Food中聽到的，Soul Food被喩為近來最好關於黑人家庭的電影，內容是原本是大家庭中緊緊拉住彼此的grandmama因為身體健康不再整個家庭也慢慢疏遠，她以每個星期日晚餐端出一道道的soul food來拉住兄弟姊妹間的感情，是不是有點熟悉？當上一代的的長輩不在後，很容易的大家就更不再往來了卻忘了原本有的親情，電影輕鬆卻不失令人思考的內容，當然它的電影配樂也是很讚的！由大家熟知的製作人Babyface (Kenneth Edmonds)製作，他請到很多朋友例如:Boyz II Men, KC&JOJO...等來跨刀，更在電影中虛擬了一個樂團叫做Milestone唱著抒情的I Care 'Bout You，(到這個網址可以試聽soundtrack唷！)喜歡黑人靈魂樂的你應該會喜歡這些歌^^ 

Slow Jam by Usher & Monica

I was all alone
I was feeling rather low
So I dropped in on a dance
Just to take a glance
And there this lovely thing was
She was more that enough
I asked her for her hand
Said would you like to dance
So pleased that I had asked
She quickly took my hand
And we danced and fell in love
On a slow jam
Ohh

Play another slow jam
This time make it sweet
On a slow jam
For my baby and for me
Play another slow jam
This time make it sweet
On a slow jam
For my baby and for me
Seems what you say is true
I feel the same way too
I waited all night long just to dance with you
And when you touched my hand
I knew you were the man
To turn my world around
And make my dreams come true
The mmagic in your eyes, made me realize
That everything I feel, has got to be real
And we danced and fell in love
On a slow jam

I'm trying to find someone who
I can give my good lovin' to
Never, ever did I dream I'd find someone, yeah

Now I've been to find someone too
I prayed to heaven, and then I found you
I swear I fell in love the night you danced into my heart

Play another slow jam
This time make it sweet
On a slow jam
Can I get a slow jam
Do you want to slow jam, baby
Play another slow jam
This time make it sweet
Can I get a slow jam
Play another slow jam
Are you gonna slow jam
