Against All Odds是Phil Collins(菲尔·柯林斯)为1984年的电影”Against All Odds”演唱的同名主题曲,电影名《再看你一眼》(该电影有三个广泛流传的译名《危情十日》、《似是故人来》及《再看你一眼》)。柯林斯Phil Collins近乎嘶喊的情感唱腔深刻传达片中男、女主角深陷情义困境的无奈,这首歌让柯林斯首度同时获得奥斯卡,金球与格莱美奖最佳电影主题曲的提名肯定,当然也是排行榜上红极一时,分别在美、英两地拿下冠、亚军。
这首歌曲之所以成为情歌中的经曲,精彩的并不是它的歌词,而是它抑扬顿挫、感天动地的旋律和演唱。钢琴和吉他勾勒了演唱主线的粗线条,而键琴则铺垫了厚重而深沉的氛围,尤其在歌曲结束处,菲尔·柯林斯缠绵执著的演唱,伴随着有力的鼓点,实在让人动容。
菲尔·柯林斯Phil Collins(全名Philip David Charles Collins)于1951年1月30日生于伦敦西部一个叫CHISWICK的小镇。童年时代酷爱戏剧,曾因在舞台剧“雾都孤儿”中出色的演出而受到好评。70年代初,菲尔·柯林斯Phil Collins加入“创世纪"(GENESIS)乐队接替鼓手职位。这支以彼得- 加布里尔(Peter Gabriel)为首的先锋乐队已成立了二、三年左右,他们的作品大多涉及社会内容,风格独特,深得乐坛好评。
