發現了原來《More Than Words》的原唱者是1隊叫Extreme的band，而不是Westlife，Westlife是9年後才翻唱的！剛剛找出Extreme的原唱版本來聽，他們唱出了我心目中的旋律—第2段的"cuz i'd already know"的"know"是要唱高8度的沒錯，原唱者不愧是原唱者。-__,-
又原來，歌詞裡的"more than words"的意思，大多數的聽眾 (包括在下)都1廂情願地把它interpret得太浪漫了。根據wikipedia的解說，《More Than Words》是出自Extreme的第2張唱片《Extreme II: Pornograffiti》，那是1張概念唱片，主題是墮落的社會，從名字"pornograffiti"也能略略interpret一2。而歌詞裡主唱者不斷強調要他的愛人不要只說「我愛你」，要做些"more than words"的南北才更能表達他所渴望的愛，那其實在ask 4 sex。
用acoustic rock去lum人上床，咁sweet，點頂ah大佬？不愧係Extreme。-__,-
Saying I love you
Is not the words I want to hear from you
It's not that I want you
Not to say, but if you only knew
How easy it would be to show me how you feel
More than words is all you have to do to make it real
Then you wouldnt have to say that you love me
Cos I'd already know
What would you do if my heart was torn in two
More than words to show you feel
That your love for me is real
What would you say if I took those words away
Then you couldn't make things new
Just by saying I love you
More than words
Now that I've tried to talk to you and make you understand
All you have to do is close your eyes
And just reach out your hands and touch me
Hold me close dont ever let me go
More than words is all I ever needed you to show
Then you wouldn't have to say that you love me
Cos I'd already know
What would you do if my heart was torn in two
More than words to show you feel
That your love for me is real
What would you say if I took those words away
Then you couldn't make things new
Just by saying I love you
More than words
