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.

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

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 eyes

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 friends

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.

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.

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.
