Reseña

El álbum Louder Than Words, de 1996, marcó el regreso de Lionel Richie al estudio de grabación tras una década de ausencia. En este trabajo, el artista se enfrenta al reto de adaptar su sonido clásico al nuevo paisaje del R&B de los años 90, dominado por el new jack swing y el hip-hop soul. Por lo tanto, es un disco de transición y de modernización.

En primer lugar, la producción del álbum incorpora ritmos programados más contundentes y texturas sonoras más urbanas. De hecho, Lionel Richie colabora con productores del momento como Jimmy Jam y Terry Lewis en algunas canciones, buscando un sonido más contemporáneo. Por consiguiente, el disco se aleja de la producción más orgánica de los 80.

Además, el single principal, "Don't Wanna Lose You", es un buen ejemplo de esta fusión, combinando una de sus características melodías de balada con un ritmo de R&B moderno. Así pues, el álbum intenta encontrar un equilibrio entre el artista que fue y las nuevas tendencias musicales.

No obstante, el disco recibió una acogida tibia por parte de la crítica y el público. En resumen, "Louder Than Words" es un valiente intento de adaptación de una leyenda a un nuevo tiempo, un trabajo que, aunque quizás no del todo logrado, demuestra la voluntad de Lionel Richie de no quedarse anclado en el pasado.

letra de Piece Of Love
Time can heal a broken heart
Oh, but does it really ease the mind
I know it's hard for you
Though you say that you're not longing for my touch
I know it pains you much

What's wrong, baby
What's on your mind
Did you leave a piece of love behind
What's wrong, baby
What is on your mind
Did you leave a piece of love behind

Night begins with calls from you
Oh, asking me if I'm alright
I'm really not sure, baby
I'm wondering if your love for me has gone away
Like I heard you say

What's wrong, baby
What's on your mind
Did you leave a piece of love behind
What's wrong, baby
What is on your mind
Did you leave a piece of love behind

It's hard to say
We've made mistakes
But when it's not over
It's best to put pride away
Two eyes should not cry the tears of regret
'cause two lips won't let go of an age old lover's lie

Oh, baby, oh, oh

What's wrong, baby
What's on your mind
Did you leave a piece of love behind
What's wrong baby
What is on your mind
Did you leave a piece of love behind

I'd do anything for you
I will give you all my heart
Did you leave a piece of love behind
Oh, did you leave your love behind

letra de Still In Love
Gonna tell you a story
Bout a love and all its glory
Every word I say is true
Every word is meant for you

As I look across the table
In your eyes I see forever
Girl theres no one else but you
No one else will ever do

I'm...I'm...I'm still in love with you

Got my heart so full of laughter
I finally found what i was after
Caught an angel flying low
Now there's one thing you should know

I've been lost and I've been lonely
Till I found you, one and only
You're every song I wanna sing
My joy, my everything

I'm...I'm...I'm...I'm...I'm still in love with you

I want you to know just how I feel
Now that my search for love is over
Would be alone in life without you

As the years keep getting longer
It only makes my love grow stronger
Just can't go another day
Until I can hear you say

I'm...I'm...I'm...I'm...I'm still in love with you

letra de Change
Oh my love

You say nothing's wrong

You say you love me

What we've got is so strong

But I know someone else

Is loving you

Baby if you don't really love me

Just say we're through

[Chorus]

You know I had to realize

Your love was just a game

Oh change

Now I've got to take time to stop

And rearrange

Change

I've got to walk away from you

Before I lose my mind

I need a change

Cause all I'm going to do with you is

Just keep wasting time

Did you lie when you said

Your love was mine

Or was I being foolish

Cause my heart was blind

Sometimes I feel like

Just holding you would make things okay

But now I see

The price of loving you

I'll have to pay

[Repeat Chorus]

[Bridge]

Somebody said you don't love me no more baby

I don't know why you're hurting me

The way you're hurting me

Right now I know the truth about

You and your new lover

I'm running for cover

So you can say what you want to say

Say what you're gonna do

I can't stand the way you treat me

I'm giving up on you

[Repeat Chorus]

[Repeat Bridge]

[Repeat Chorus]

letra de Nothing Else Matters
Do I love you?

Let me tell ya,

My mona lisa with a smile,

Knowing all that we've been through,

Together,

We've lasted for a while.

Hasn't it been so easy?

But life can be that way,

You made all the mountains,

Seem so small.

'cause when there's love,

True love,

Nothing else matters,

At all.

Those precious moments,

Are filled with so much tears and laughter;

Funny how the time does fly.

Was it all a plan,

Or some passing chances?

I won't ask the reason why.

If I say I love you,

Let me tell you like it is,

Love you till the stars stars,

All start to fall.

'cause when there's love,

True love,

Nothing else matters,

At all.

When I say I love you,

Let me tell you like it is,

Love you till the stars,

All start to fall.

Yes when there is love,

True love.

Yes when there is love,

True love.

Yes when there is love, true love;

Nothing else matters,

Nothing else matters,

Nothing else matters,

At all......

letra de Ordinary Girl
How will I know if someone loves me
How will I know if there is no one else
Dying to have someone who loves me
But I want them to love me for myself
Looked for love in all the wrong places
I searched the moon and stars
Found myself lost in a world full of faces
The place I didn't look was my heart

I've been all around the world try to find something new,
Lord knows that something was you
'Cause I found in myself the one thing that is true
All I want is an ordinary girl
All I need is an ordinary girl

Ordinary

All I want is someone I can talk to
Someone I can lean on now and then
And I don't wanna lie, pretend I am someone else
I am just looking for a friend
My heart was going through so many changes,
I didn't know which way to turn
Just when I thought I had all of the answers
I found I still had so much to learn

I've been all around the world try to find something new,
Lord knows that something was you
'Cause I found in myself the one thing that is true
All I want is an ordinary girl
All I need is an ordinary girl

Ordinary
Someone to love me
Ordinary

I just wanna feel lost in love forever
wanna see that look in your eyes
I hope that you understand what I am saying, baby
Cause girl I need you right by my side

I've been all around the world trying to find something new,
Lord knows that something was you
'Cause I found in myself
the one thing that is true
All I want is an ordinary girl
All I need is an ordinary girl

Ordinary
Someone to love me
Ordinary

[Talking:]
You know I've been all around the world
trying to find someone new
he, you know what ended up my search:
that someone was you
And I found in my heart there can be no one but you

All I need is an ordinary girl
Your love, my love
you know heaven send you from above
Oh girl, it is only you
You are the best thing in my life girl
You are the best thing in my life ooooooooh
ooh girl...

letra de Say I Do
Say I do I do I do

Say I do I do I do

Never thought that love could make me fall

Never thought I needed love at all

Took me a while to finally realize

That your love was all I needed to complete my life

Will you make this sacrifice

It's hard to believe

But your love has turned my around

I can make a commitment now

[Chorus]

Say I do I do I do

If you really love me

Say I do I do I do

If you wanna be with me

Say I do I do I do

Cause I really wanna be with you

Say I do I do I do

Found myself searchin' what was in my heart

Scared me when I saw us drifting apart

Even though I didn't know any other way

I don't wanna lose you

I want you to stay

To complete my life

Will you make this sacrifice

It's hard to believe

That your love has turned me around

Are you ready for love, I am now

[Repeat Chorus]

Oh baby, my lady

I can't wait to give you my heart

My lady, sweet lady

Give me your hand in love

[Repeat Chorus]

If you want me girl and I want you

Why don't you say I do I do I do

If you need me girl like I need you

Why don't you say I do I do I do

Surrender

Forever

Say I do I do I do

letra de Paradise
Let me tell you this
Your love I can't resist
I just start to fantasize
Every time I look into your eyes

I want to laugh and talk
And say the words you long to hear
I want to fill you up with so much love
The real world will just disappear

Chorus: let me take you to a place I call paradise
Hold you in my arms every day and night
Tell you all the things that I really feel
Show you that my love is for real
Let me take you to paradise
Take you to paradise

Let me be your guide
On a magic carpet ride
To a place where love is pure
And our passions can endure
I want you to close your eyes and realize
A world for two
I want you to hear me whisper in your ear
I want to make love to you

Let me take you to a place I call paradise
Hold you in my arms every day and night
Tell you all the things that I really feel
Show you that my love is for real
Let me take you to paradise
Take you to paradise

Do you want to go?
Don't? you want to know?
About a real love
Give me just some time
You'll like what you find
I know
It's so plain to me
We were meant to be
I want to show you baby
We'll unlock all of life's Mysteries
And realize how great our love can really be
Let me take you to paradise

letra de Lovers At First Sight
Love can have its mysteries

Some strange, enchanted notion

You can't explain just how it begins

A feel, a smile, a potion

But something goes off in your head

You can't believe the words you just said

It's not so hard to see the light

Lovers at first sight

When the right one comes along

There is no hesitation

You wonder how you lost all control

It's just a revelation

And that's the way I felt with you

One glance was all it took and I knew

You and I were just so right

Lovers at first sight

(Je t'aime beaucoups, mon cherie)

I love that you love me

(Jai' envie d'etre pres de toi)

I want you too

'Cause when we are together

There is no place in this world that I'd rather be

Girl,

(Dura-t-il pour toujours?)

Yes, it's forever

(Est-ce que tu me promets?)

I promise my cherie

'Cause you know nothing will change

The way we're gonna live together

In our litle fantasy

That's the way I felt with you

One glance was all it took and I knew

You and I were just so right

Lovers at first sight

Fade...

(Depuis que j'etais un enfant)

(Je t'aimais)

(Mais tu ne savais pas que j'existais)

(Et maintenant que nous sommes ensemble)

(Tu dis que c'est l'amour du premier coup)

Climbing to the top

I'll tell you anything you want

We're on this planetary journey to a place beyond

The independent minds will tell you

The colors you should wear

But know the game of life

Is just a game of solitaire

Climbing to the top

The ones you love will come and go

When you lose you sacrifice

Chasing the rainbow

And if you should climb this magic ladder

The story will unfold

Just remember when you reach the top

All that glitters is not gold

Time, just take the time

What you think is what you find

You know the answers

You're no ordinary dancer

Face the changes you go through

Have the faith in what you do

You know the answers

You're no ordinary dancer

Climbing to the top

I'll tell you anything you want

Were on this planetary journey

To a place beyond

You can climb the highest mountain

Swim the deepest seas

The only thing that matters

Is you will find your destiny

You know the answers

You're no ordinary dancer

Climbing to the top

I'll tell you anything you want

You're on an imaginary journey

To a place beyond

You can climb the highest mountain

Swim the deepest seas

The only thing that matters

Is you will find your destiny
