懷念MJ肆:What More Can I Give

What More Can I Give是一首很好聽的歌。
好聽程度不下于We Are The World。

但是,這首歌不是很多人聽過。
甚至有人連有這首歌都不知道。
因為這首歌從來都沒有正式發行過(只公開演唱過及在短時間內有網上下載)。

因為版權問題,且新力(Sony)認為推出這首歌的單曲會影響到邁克最后一張大碟Invincible的銷量。
所以到現在為止,這首歌都還是遺珠,在任何一張邁克的單曲或專輯內都找不到。

但是,好歌是不會因為這樣子就被埋沒的。
現在要找這首歌很容易了,只要去youtube找一找就有了。

同樣的,這首歌也是一首公益歌。
緣起,是在1999年;
1999年,邁克會見南非前總統曼德拉,被他的經歷及奮斗而啟發了寫這首歌的靈感。
可是,不知為什么,歌曲一直遲遲沒有完成。

至到2001年,911事件發生了。
這件事,帶給邁克非常大的沖擊。
悲天憫人的個性,使邁克火力全開。
這一首歌,What More Can I Give就在那樣的背景之下完成了。

這首MJ作詞作曲的歌曲,在一個慈善演唱會上,由三十五為歌手獻唱。
這個Charity Concert的主題就是United We Stand: What More Can I Give?。

同樣的,邁克的愛心洋溢在優美簡單的歌詞里。
最喜歡里面的一句:“只要你們能付出你的愛,我們就會因此而活”。
可惜,很多人就是不明白。
就像MJ在歌里所問,到底人們要幾時才會明白?
真的,不知道冥頑不靈的人類要幾時才會明白這個淺顯的道理。

“愛,是最珍貴也是最容易付出的。”

WHAT MORE CAN I GIVE

Yeah,

Yeah How many people would have to die before we understand
How many children have to cry,
before we do all we can?
If sending your love is all you can give
That we all live

How many times can we turn our heads And pretend we cannot see
Healing the wounds of our broken earth We are one global family
Just sending your preying Is something you will feel
Helping one heal

Chorus
What have I got that I can give?
What have I got that I can give?
To love and to teach you
To hold and to need you What more can I give?

Chorus
Say the words I will lay me down for you Call my name
I am your friend
Why do they keep teaching us Such hate and cruelity
We should give over and over again Over and Over again

Chorus(2)
Don't do it Don't drop the ball
What have I got that I can give?
What have I got that I can give?
To love and to conceal you
To hold and to need you What more can I give?
What have I got that I can give?
What have I got that I can give?
To love and to conceal you
To hold and to need you What more can I give?
