Sobre el álbum
Con el álbum Vintage, lanzado en 2003, Michael Bolton se sumergió de lleno en el cancionero clásico americano, interpretando una cuidada selección de estándares del jazz y del pop de las décadas de los 40, 50 y 60. Este trabajo supuso un giro elegante y sofisticado en su carrera, alejándose temporalmente del pop-rock para abrazar un sonido más íntimo y atemporal.
El disco es un homenaje a algunos de los más grandes compositores e intérpretes, como Frank Sinatra, Ray Charles o Etta James. En lugar de la grandilocuencia de sus producciones anteriores, aquí encontramos arreglos sutiles, a menudo con una big band o una sección de cuerdas, que crean una atmósfera de club de jazz.
Su voz se muestra en un registro diferente, más contenido y lleno de matices. Interpretaciones como "The Very Thought of You" o "Summertime" revelan a un Michael Bolton crooner, capaz de susurrar y frasear con una delicadeza que sorprendió a muchos. Es una demostración de su gran versatilidad.
"Vintage" es un álbum exquisito y de gran clase. No solo es un tributo a una era dorada de la música, sino también una oportunidad para apreciar la voz de Michael Bolton en un contexto completamente nuevo, demostrando que su talento va mucho más allá de la balada poderosa.

- The Very Thought Of You
Letra
The very thought of you and I forget to do The little ordinary things that everyone ought to do I'm living in a kind of daydream I'm happy as a king And foolish as it may seem To me that's everything The mere idea of you, the longing here for you You'll never know how slow the moments go till I'm near to you I see your face in every flower Your eyes in stars above It's just the thought of you The very thought of you, my love I see your face in every flower Your eyes in stars above It's just the thought of you The very thought of you, my love - All The Way
Letra
When somebody loves you It's no good unless they love you all the way Happy to be near you When you need someone to cheer you all the way Taller than the tallest tree is That's how it's got to feel Deeper than the deep blue sea is That's how deep it goes if it's real When somebody needs you It's no good unless they need you all the way Through the good or lean years And for all the in-between years, come what may Who knows where the road will lead us? Only a fool would see But if you'll let me love you For sure I'm gonna love you all the way, all the way When somebody loves you It's no good unless they love you all the way Happy to be near you When you need someone to cheer you, come what may Who knows where the road will lead us? Only a fool would see If you'll let me love you For sure I'm gonna love you all the way All the way - If I Could
Letra
If I could I'd protect you from the sadness in your eyes Give you courage in a world of compromise Yes, I would If I could I would teach you all the things I never learned And I'd help you cross the bridges that I burned Yes, I would If I could I would try to shield your innocence from time But the part of life I gave you isn't mine I watched you grow So I could let you go If I could I would help you make it through the hungry years But I know that I can never cry your tears But I would If I could If I live In a time and place Where you don't want to be You don't have to walk along this road with me My yesterday Won't have to be your way If I knew I'd have tried to change the world I brought you to Through there wasn't very much that I could do But I still would If I could If, if I could I would try to shield your innocence from time But the part of life I gave you isn't mine. I watched you grow So I could let you go If I could I would help you make it through the hungry years But I know that I can never cry your tears But I would If I could Yes, I would Yes, I would If I could - A Kiss To Build A Dream On
Letra
(written by: Bert Kalmar, Harry Ruby & Oscar Hammerstein ii) Give me a kiss to build a dream on, And my imagination will thrive upon that kiss. Sweetheart, I ask no more than this: A kiss to build a dream on. Give me a kiss before you leave me, And my imagination will feed my hungry heart. Leave me one thing before we part, A kiss to build a dream on. When I'm alone with my fancies, I'll be with you, Weaving romances, making believe they're true. Oh, give me your lips for just a moment, And my imagination will make that moment live. Give me what you alone can give, A kiss to build a dream on. When I'm alone with my fancies, I'll be with you, Weaving romances, making believe they're true. Oh, give me your lips for just a moment, And my imagination will make that moment live. Give me what you alone can give, A kiss to build a dream on. Give me what you alone can give, A kiss to build a dream on. - When I Fall In Love
Letra
When I fall in love it will be forever Or I'll never fall in love In a restless world like this is Love has ended before it's begun And too many moonlight kisses Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun When I give my heart it will be completely Or I'll never give my heart And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too It's when I fall in love with you And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too It's when I fall in love with you - At Last
Letra
At last My love has come along My lonely days are over And life is like a song Ooh at last, at last The skies above are blue My heart was wrapped up in clover The night I looked at you I found a dream That I could speak to A dream that I could call my own I found a thrill To press my cheek to A thrill that I have never known You smile You smile And then the spell was cast And here we are in heaven For you are mine at last I found a dream That I could speak to A dream that I Can call my own I found a thrill To press my cheek to A thrill that I have never known You smile You smile And then the spell was cast And here we are in heaven For you are mine at last - Smile
Letra
Smile, though your heart is aching Smile, even though it's breaking When there are clouds in the sky You'll get by... If you smile With your fear and sorrow Smile and maybe tomorrow You'll see the sun come shining through For you... Light up your face with gladness Hide every trace of sadness Although a tear may be ever so near That's the time you must keep on trying Smile, what's the use of crying You'll find that life is still worthwhile If you just smile That's the time You must keep on trying Smile, What's the use of crying? You'll find that life Is still worth-while If you just smile - You Don't Know Me

Letra
What are you doing the rest of your life? North and South and East and West of your life I have only one request of your life That you spend it all with me All the seasons and the times of your days All the nickels and the dimes of your days Let the reasons and the rhymes of your days All begin and end with me I want to see your face in every kind of light In the fields of dawn and the forests of the night And when you stand before the candles on a cake Oh, let me be the one to hear the silent wish you make Those tomorrows waiting deep in your eyes In the world of love that you keep in your eyes I'll awaken what's asleep in your eyes It may take a kiss or two Through all of my life Summer, Winter, Spring, and Fall of my life All I ever will recall of my life Is all of my life with you
