编者按：本周推荐的歌曲是美国著名黑人R&B歌手Seal的一首歌------Waiting for you。这首歌讲述了歌者在等候失去的爱人。这首歌虽然句句透露出歌者的心声(can't afford不能承受；How am I supposed to be that king without you没有你我如何主宰)，但和一般的思念曲风忧伤的感觉不同，整个歌曲的节奏间断有序，运用黑人特有的灵歌+R&B的轻松方式释怀。暗淡(shade of blue)的忧伤，反而比大悲，流露出了更为长久而无奈的哀思与执著。外貌冷酷的Seal用他非常具有磁性的嗓音，把这首歌曲演绎出引人无限感慨的情怀。朗朗上口的歌词，也是英语爱好者们练习英文歌曲的很好选择。

　　曲名：Waiting For You 
　　歌手：Seal  
　　专辑：Best 1991-2004 - Seal

　　Everyday, a shade of blue
　　You won't believe
　　What I'm going through
　　It just feels
　　like I can't afford to let myself go
　　No, oohooo no...
　　Everyone is just the same
　　They touch me
　　But I can't say
　　There has been no one brighter than you
　　I can't deny these things that I do
　　Feels like the world's at stake 'cause
　　I have been waiting
　　I have been waiting for you
　　Heavenly, that's what you are
　　You're burnin' me like a shining star
　　How am I supposed to be
　　that king without you
　　Ooohooo...it's true yea
　　Everyone is just the same
　　They love me
　　But I can't say
　　There has been no one brighter than you
　　I can't deny these things that I do
　　Feels like the world's at stake yeaaahh...
　　I have been waiting
　　I have been waiting for you
