Puff Daddy在1997年七月推出他个人的首张专辑《No Way Out》,专辑中根据Police经典名曲《Every Breath You Take》所改编而成的这只《I'll Be Missing You》是向Puff Daddy的好友Notorious B.I.G.致敬的作品,这首单曲于1998年推出后,几乎在全球同时拿下冠军座座;专辑中的另一首单曲《Been Around The World》也在稍后攻下美国榜冠军席次。但不可否认的,这的确是1997年最风光的一张专辑,也让全球乐迷见到Puff Daddy在制作之外其演唱方面的才华。
I'll Be Missing You
Verse One: Puff Daddy
(Yeah... this right hear... goes out to everyone who has lost someone they
truly love)
Seems like yesterday we used to rock the show
I laced the track, you locked the flow
So far from hangin on the block for dough
Notorious, they got to know that
Life ain't always what it seem to be (uh-uh)
Words can't express what you mean to me
Even though you're gone, we still a team
Through your family, I'll fulfill your dream (that's right)
In the future, can't wait to see
If you open up the gates for me
Reminisce some time, the night they took my friend (uh-huh)
Try to black it out, but it plays again
When it's real, feelings hard to conceal
Can't imagine all the pain I feel
Give anything to hear half your breath (half your breath)
I know you still living your life, after death
Chorus: Faith Evans
Every step I take, every move I make
Every single day, every time I pray
I'll be missing you
Thinkin of the days, when you went away
What a life to take, what a bond to break
I'll be missing you
Verse Tw Puff Daddy
[Puff] I miss you Big
It's kinda hard with you not around (yeah)
Know you in heaven smilin down (eheh)
Watchin us while we pray for you
Every day we pray for you
Til the day we meet again
In my heart is where I'll keep you friend
Memories give me the strength I need (uh-huh) to proceed
Strength I need to believe
My thoughts Big I just can't define (can't define)
Wish I could turn back the hands of time
Us in the 6, shop for new clothes and kicks
You and me taking flicks
Makin hits, stages they receive you on
I still can't believe you're gone (can't believe you're gone)
Give anything to hear half your breath (half your breath)
I know you still living you're life, after death
Chorus:
Every step I take, every move I make
Every single day, every time I pray
I'll be missing you
Thinkin of the days, when you went away
What a life to take, what a bond to break
I'll be missing you
Faith Evans:
Somebody tell me why
One Black Morning
When this life is over
I know
I'll see your face
112 Outr
Every night I pray, every step I take
Every move I make, every single day
Every night I pray, every step I take
[Puff] Every day that passes
Every move I make, every single day
[Puff] Is a day that I get closer
[Puff] To seeing you again
Every night I pray, every step I take
[Puff] We miss you Big... and we won't stop
Every move I make, every single day
[Puff] Cause we can't stop... that's right
Every night I pray, every step I take
Every move I make, every single day
[Puff] We miss you Big
Faith Evans:
Every step I take, every move I make
Every single day, every time I pray
I'll be missing you
Thinkin of the day, when you went away
What a life to take, what a bond to break
I'll be missing you
Every step I take, every move I make
Every single day, every time I pray
I'll be missing you
Thinkin of the day, when you went away
What a life to take, what a bond to break
I'll be missing you
Every step I take, every move I make
Every single day, every time I pray
I'll be missing you
Thinkin of the day, when you went away
What a life to take, what a bond to break
I'll be missing you
歌曲背景
<P>Puff Daddy(Puffy)自小生活在哈林区,与姐姐Keisha一起由母亲Janice抚养。他的父亲是个黑帮中人,在他只有三岁的时候就被枪杀了。十三岁时在当地的一家图书馆里当学徒。高中毕业后就进了Howard University 并成为一个协会的干事。Puff Daddy在学校的足球队中身材瘦削,他便憋着气使自己胸膛鼓胀,看起来显得很健硕,于是这世界闻名的外号“ Puffy”就由此而起。不过一年半后,Puffy就退学了,跑到Uptown/MCA Records当实习生,又被无端解雇。他是个积极的人,凭借在唱片公司学到的东西,他开始筹划Bad Boy Entertainment。
公司成立之初,名气不大,唱片销量低微,Puffy只有做混音工作,为多名R&B歌手组合制作唱片,包括:Aretha Franklin, Boyz II Men , Mariah Carry, TLC, SWV, lil\'kim。。经过一段艰辛的奋斗,94年是他的转折点,他跟Notorious B.I.G.(B.I.G.)、 Faith Evans(B.I.G.妻子)以及Craig Mack等人签约,重新混音的作品"Flava in Yar Ear"(featuring LL Cool J,Busta Rhymes,Rampages and Notorious B.I.G.)打上了流行榜十大,并为Badboy Records创造第一个白金销量。95年B.I.G.的主打曲"Big Papa"进入流行榜第六位,其大碟"Ready To Die"创下双白金佳绩!并赢得相当的知名度。随后又得到 Mase, Lox , Total(与Faith Evans同是B.I.G.背景和声组合)的加盟。
</P>
失去挚友和左右手,Puffy极度沮丧,他感到自己没有了B.I.G.不能再工作下去,他决定退休。休息了大半年,Puffy终于想通,他要继承B.I.G.。于是他重新投入工作,完成了 B.I.G.只做了一半的专辑"Hell Up In Harlem",并改名为"No Way Out"意为没有出路,以抒发他丧友之痛。该专辑继续创下辉煌战绩。随后,Puffy和其余歌手们举行了巡回演唱会悼念B.I.G.,这是场纯说唱的音乐会,也是该年度第二大演唱会。</B>
"I\'ll Be Missing You"令他获得98’GRAMMY AWARD的Best Duo or Group大奖,此曲是Puffy为了纪念B.I.G.而作的, 还请B.I.G.遗孀Faith Evans作背景和声,甚是感伤。
<p>
<P>〈Every Breath You Take>中文名字(你的每一个呼吸),70年代由Police,The 〈警察乐队〉创作。前后被全世界143位艺人翻成不同版本演唱过,刊称经典之作。华人艺术家邓丽军也曾翻唱过,后90年代1998年推出后经P.Diddy Puff Daddy〈吹牛老爹〉翻唱成HIP HOP 版本后又掀起风靡世界的风潮。
歌名为:〈I'LL BE MISSING YOU 〉中文名字〈我将要失去你〉
是向Puff Daddy的好友Notorious B.I.G.致敬的作品,
这首歌基本在全世界所有音乐排行榜,所有电台拿下单曲冠军宝座。 </P>
<P>很不错的音乐,高中的时候听HIP—HOP经常听到,酒吧里熟悉的旋律,有点想去零点了</P>
