Love Or Something Like It

Reseña
El álbum Love Or Something Like It, de 1978, muestra a un Kenny Rogers en la cima de su popularidad, explorando las diferentes facetas del amor con su característica mezcla de country, pop y soul. El título, "Amor o algo parecido", ya sugiere un enfoque honesto y a menudo agridulce sobre las relaciones sentimentales. Por lo tanto, es un disco de una gran madurez lírica.
En primer lugar, la canción que da título al álbum, un dueto con la cantante de country Dottie West, es una pieza enérgica y divertida que se convirtió en un gran éxito. De hecho, este tema marcó el inicio de una exitosa serie de colaboraciones entre ambos artistas, que se convirtieron en una de las parejas más queridas del country.
Además, el disco contiene la balada "We've Got Tonight", que aunque aquí no fue un single, se convertiría en un éxito masivo años después en su versión a dúo con Sheena Easton. Así pues, el álbum está repleto de canciones de una gran calidad, demostrando el infalible olfato de Kenny Rogers para elegir repertorio.
En definitiva, "Love Or Something Like It" es un trabajo excelente que lo consolida como el gran narrador de las historias del corazón, un disco que combina a la perfección el romance, la pasión y una pizca de realismo.

[X]letra de Love Or Something Like It
Show me a bar with a good looking woman
Then just get out of my way
Turn on the jukebox, I'll show you a song you should play
Sooner or later a few shots of Bourbon
And I'll think of somethin' to say
Whoa, I can take her or leave her
I'd like to take her away
Liquor and music, a good combination
If you've got love on the brain
I never knew two women who acted the same
Some want a drink first, and some want to just sit and talk
Whoa, oh, it's two in the mornin'
I'm running' and she wants to walk
Something's got a hold on me
It's cheap but it ain't free
Love or somethin' like it's got a hold on me
That's when I asked her, my place or your place
I hope I'm not out of line
I asked the wrong thing, but just the right woman this time
She knew a hotel, she even had a name we could sign
Whoa, oh, the cheaper the grapes are, the sweeter the taste of the wine
Something's got a hold on me
It's cheap but it ain't free
Love or somethin' like it's got a hold on me
Something's got a hold on me
It's cheap but it ain't free
Love or somethin' like it's got a hold on me
Love or somethin' damn near like it's got a hold on me - There´s A Lot Of That Going Around 2:41

[X]letra de Buried Treasures
As I'm walkin' behind this plow
I keep turnin' over memories
Buried treasure of a past once filled with you
This old ground I know it's mine
And I've worked it so many times
And the rain it's been praying for
Is falling from my eyes
Waiting for the settin' sun
When a hard day's work is done
We'd sit down and rock the baby
And plan our dreams
But you turned it all around
With this other man you found
And you never thought I'd figure out your scheme
And there's buried treasure
Hidden in the ground
Precious memories of a love
That lived and died
You couldn't be the simple wife
You had to lead the cheatin' life
And you led me down a road I hate to ride
Now the neighbors they all knew
They had seen him leave with you
But what they didn't see
Was I followed close behind
And the next day's paper read
That a man had been found dead
And the lady he'd been seen with
That can't find
And there's buried treasure
Hidden in the ground
Precious memories of a love
That lived and died
You couldn't be the simple wife
You had to lead the cheatin' life
And you led me down a road I hate to ride
As I'm walkin' behind this plow
I keep turning over memories
Buried treasure of a past once filled with you
This old ground I know it's mine
And I've worked it so many times
And the rain it's been praying for
Is falling from my eyesComposición: Charlie Phillips, Ernie Rowell - Something About Your Song 2:38

[X]letra de We Could Have Been The Closest Of Friends
There you are and here am I
We are what we decided
Alone behind a wall of pride
Hopelessly divided
We had so much together, baby
What got into us
How could we just call it quits
We should have called for love
We could have been the closest of friends
We might have been the world's greatest lovers
Now we're just without each other
We could have been the closest of friends
I could say you did me wrong
You could say you didn't
Or we could sit and hold our tongues
And act like little children
I could say you never really loved me
And you could say the same
But if it's really over then who cares who was to blame
We could have been the closest of friends
We might have been the world's greatest lovers
Now we're just without each other
We could have been the closest of friends
We could have been the closest of friends
We might have been the world's greatest lovers
Now we're just without each other
We could have been the closest of friendsComposición: Johnny Slate, Steve Pippin - I Could Be So Good For YouVer letra 2:58
[X]letra de I Could Be So Good For You
If you want to, I'll change the-e situation
Right people, right time, just the wrong location
I've got a good idea, just you keep me near
I'd be so good for you
I could be so good for you, I'm gonna help ya
Love ya like you want me to
I'd do anything for you
Id be so good for you
I could be so good for you
I'll do it like you want me to
Love you like you want me to
There ain't nothin' I can't go through
I'd be so good for you
Sometime when you're feelin' like a poor relation
Call on me and I'll give you more than conversation
Take an' shake it, hey it's a deal
And woh big brother I'll make you heal
I'll be so good for you
I could be so good for you, I'll be right by your side
Love you like you want me to
There ain't nothin' you can hide from me
I'd be so good for you
I could be so good for you
I'm your man, Love you like you want me to
I'll tell you nothin', there ain't nothin', nothin' I cannot do
I'll be so good for you
Don't ask me no questions, I'll tell ya no lies
Use my shoulder to rest on
I will be right by your side
I will be your ear tonight
I could be so good for you, I'm the one you really need
Love you like you want me to
I can even help you breathe
I'll be so good for you
I can make the good times roll, make 'em roll
Love you with my heart and soul, That's right
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, I'd be so good for youComposición: Alan Rush, Dennis Linde, Randy Cullers, Thomas Cain - Sail AwayVer letra 3:31
[X]letra de Sail Away
Across the bay a lady waits to hold me tight,
And my boat and I are ready to set sail.
If the weather keeps on holdin' and the wind is right
I'll be wrapped up in my sweet one's arms tonight.
And we will sail away
On the wings of love into the night
Cast out our fortunes on the sea
We'll go to sleep together
With the rockin' of the water
Dream of how our life will someday be
When she sails away with me.
As I slip across the waves my sails are high and full,
My mind is on the one I wait to see.
And I dream about an island somewhere in my mind,
Where someday I will take her off with me.
And we will sail away
On the wings of love into the night
Cast out our fortunes on the sea
We'll go to sleep together
With the rockin' of the water
Dream of how our life will someday be
When she sails away with me.
Then a smile comes upon me as I look across the bow;
I see the lady on the side.
But she will wait no more as I head towards the shore,
'Cause tonight I'm gonna take her for a ride.Composición: Rafe Van Hoy - Even A Fool Would Let GoVer letra 3:07
[X]letra de Even A Fool Would Let Go
It's funny how love goes cause I know this would never work out
But honey how love grows even though there's no reason to doubt
This can never be you keep saying it's wrong
Neither one of us is free still I wanna hold on.
When even a fool would let go 'cause he knows that there's no use trying
Even a child says no when he knows he'll end up crying
Tell me now is it wise holding you when even a fool would let go.
My love has no reason like the words in a song that don't rhyme
My love got no season I just know that it's there all the time
Maybe just you and me I can't believe that's wrong
Talking about you and me makes me wanna hold on
When even a fool would let go 'cause he knows that there's no use trying
Even a child says no when he knows he'll end up crying
Tell me now is it wise holding you when even a fool would let go.
When even a fool would let go 'cause he knows that there's no use trying
Even a child says no when he knows he'll end up crying
Tell me now is it wise holding you when even a fool would let go.Composición: Kerry Chater, Tom Snow - Highway Flyer 2:16

[X]letra de Starting Again
Pretending again
I think we both know this is the end
We can try it again
But we better face it
Losing again
I know we both thought this time we'd win
But you can't take thing and just erase it.
Could it be we talked too long
Maybe we should start off being friends
And try it again.
Could it be we both were wrong
Maybe we should sing our song again
And rewrite the end, start it again.
Start it again
Not looking for love, needing a friend
And knowing inside it's gonna be better
Laughing again
And thinking how wrong we were back then
We're happy again and this is forever.
Now we know we both were wrong
Aren't you g lad we sang our song again
To rewrite the end and start it again.
We start love, love, love
Start it again.Composición: Kenny Rogers, Steve Glassmeyer
