Howard Jones – What Is Love?（1983）
タイトルはシンプルですが、これからWISH生の皆さんが一生をかけて向き合って行く難問中の難問ですね。
見た目のポップさからやや華奢なイメージがありましたが、改めて歌詞を読むと、たいへん骨太な愛についての信念が歌われていました。
I love you whether or not you love me I love you even if you think I don’t
Sometimes I find you doubt my love for you
But I don’t mind
Why should I mind, Why should I mind
君が僕を愛していようがいまいが僕は君を愛している もし君が僕が愛していないと考えたとしても僕は君を愛している ときどき君が僕の愛を疑っていることがわかるけれど 僕は気にしない なぜ気にしなければいけないのか
Can anybody love anyone so much that they will never fear
Never worry never be sad
The answer is they cannot love this much nobody can
This is why I don’t mind you doubting
What is love anyway
恐れたり苦しんだり悲しんだりせずに 誰かが誰かを愛せるだろうか その答えは「そんなことは誰にも出来ない」 だから僕は君の疑いを気にしない
結局のところ愛とは何だろう？
I love you whether or not you love me I love you even if you think I don’t
Sometimes I find you doubt my love for you
But I don’t mind
Why should I mind, Why should I mind
What is love anyway, does anybody Love anybody anyway
What is love anyway, does anybody Love anybody anyway
Can anybody love anyone so much that they will never fear
Never worry never be sad
The answer is they cannot love this much nobody can
This is why I don’t mind you doubting
What is love anyway, does anybody Love anybody anyway
What is love anyway, does anybody Love anybody anyway
And maybe love is letting people be just what they want to be
The door always must be left unlocked
To love when circumstance may lead someone away from you
And not to spend the time just doubting
What is love anyway, does anybody Love anybody anyway
What is love anyway, does anybody Love anybody anyway
