提到Glenn Frey你便会想到风靡一时的老鹰乐队,这支70年代最出色、最成功的摇滚乐队融民间音乐、乡村音乐及摇滚乐于一炉,表现力非凡。而正当他们成就辉煌之时,乐队内部人员出现不稳定因素,中心人物Glenn Frey和Don Henley各奔东西,折断翅膀的老鹰再无力飞翔,乐队于82年解散。这时的Glenn Frey却独树一帜,走出摇滚把乐风改为西海岸式的抒情曲风,并获巨大成功。1982年发表的首张个人专辑《No Fun Aloud》产生了多首排行榜前40位的单曲,其中的“The One You Love”正是这种新风格的代表作。(苏永康/杜德伟都有翻唱的就不推荐了,张国荣的《梦里蓝天》可以一听)
轻柔的旋律加之Glenn低沉细腻的声音透出淡淡的无奈与凄美,不禁令人迷失在一种男性的忧伤与迷茫无助之中而心生爱怜。

I know you need a friend
Someone you can talk to
Who will understand what you’re going through
When it comes to love
There’s no easy answer
Only you can say what you’re gonna do
I heard you on the phone
You took his number
Said you weren’t alone, but you’d call him soon
Isn’t he the guy
The guy who left you crying
Isn’t he the one who made you blue
When you remember those nights in his arms
You know you’ve gotta make up your mind
Are you gonna stay with the one who loves you
Or are you going back to the one you love
Someone’s gonna cry when they learn they’ve lost you
Someone’s gonna thank the stars above
- bridge –
What you gonna say when he comes over
There’s no easy way to see this through
All the broken dreams
All the disappointments
Oh girl -- What you gonna do
Your heart keeps saying it’s just not fair
But still you’ve gotta make up your mind
Are you gonna stay with the one who loves you
Or are you going back to the one you love
Someone’s gonna cry when they learn they’ve lost you
Someone’s gonna thank the stars above
