All My Life - K-Ci & JoJo.1997(이야기들)

"All My Life"는 미국의 R&B 형제 듀오 K-Ci & JoJo의 데뷔 스튜디오 앨범 <Love Always>의 수록곡으로 Joel Hailey와 Rory Bennett가 만들었고, K-Ci & JoJo가 프로듀싱 하였다.

 

 

 

앨범의 세 번째 싱글로 발매되어 빌보드 HOT100에서 3주간 1위를 차지하였고, 호주, 네덜란드, 뉴질랜드등에서 1위를 차지했으며, 영국, 캐나다, 유로HOT100, 독일, 노르웨이, 스웨덴, 스위스, 덴마크, 벨기에등에서 TOP10에 들며 전세계적으로 사랑받았다.

 

 

JoJo(Joel Hailey)는 자신의 딸 Kayla Hailey(당시 7세)에게서 영감을 얻어 그녀를 위해 곡을 썻다고 한다. 하지만 이 곡은 여성 가수에게 어울리는 곡이라 생각해서 그 곡을 받아줄 여가수를 물색하고 있었지만, 가이드 녹음이 된 스튜디오 녹음 버전을 듣고는 자기가 생각해도 너무 좋다고 느껴서 본인들이 소화하기로 결정했고 대박이 났다.

 

 

1999년 제 41회 Grammy Awards에서 Best R&B Vocal Performance와 Best R&B Song 두 개 부문에 노미네이트 되었고, MTV Video Music Awards에서 Best R&B Video에 노미네이트 되기도 했다.

[Intro]
Baby baby, baby baby
Baby baby, baby baby
Baby baby, baby baby
Ooh, I'm so glad

[Verse 1]
I will never find another lover
Sweeter than you
Sweeter than you
And I will never find another lover
More precious than you

Girl you are close to me you're like my mother
Close to me, you're like my father
Close to me, you're like my sister
Close to me, you're like my brother
You are the only one, my everything

[Hook]
And all my life

[Verse 2]
I said you're all that I'm thinkin' of (la-la la-la, la-la) baby (la-la la-la, la-la)

You turned my life around
You picked me up when I was down

You're all that I ever known when you smile my face glows
You picked me up when I was down
You're all that I ever known when you smile my face glows
You picked me up when I was down

And I hope that you feel the same way too
