西洋樂壇上更換團員、一哄而散、單飛求生、舊瓶新酒的現象,
坦白說,實在是早就見怪不怪了!(無怪乎Family Tree如此枝繁葉茂)
特別是在80年代末期,許多搖滾菁英們重新組合再出發這樣的情形更是屢見不鮮。
由The Babys前主唱John Waite串聯前Journey合唱團的吉他手Neal Schon及鍵盤手Jonathan Cain
加上貝斯手Ricky Phillips、鼓手Deen Castronovo組成的Bad English就是其中之一。
1989年的首張同名專輯When I See You Smile這雙週冠軍曲不僅旋律優美,
編曲風格清新頗具AOR美感,金屬喧囂成份極低,
再加上風格獨特的John Waite式唱腔,
相信不是金屬 / 搖滾迷的朋友也會一聽傾心。

When I See You Smile – Bad English
Sometimes I wonder
How I'd ever make it through,
Through this world without having you
I just wouldn't have a clue
'Cause sometimes it seems
Like this world's closing in on me,
And there's no way of breaking free
And then I see you reach for me
Sometimes I wanna give up
I wanna give in,
I wanna quit the fight
And then I see you, baby
And everything's alright,
everything's alright
When I see you smile
I can face the world, oh oh,
you know I can do anything
When I see you smile
I see a ray of light, oh oh,
I see it shining right through the rain
When I see you smile
Oh yeah, baby when I see you smile at me
Baby there's nothing in this world
that could ever do
What a touch of your hand can do
It's like nothing that I ever knew
And when the rain is falling
I don't feel it,
'cause you're here with me now
And one look at you baby
Is all I'll ever need,
you're all I'll ever need
Chorus
Sometimes I wanna give up
I wanna give in,
I wanna quit the fight
And then I see you baby
And everything's alright,
everything's alright
So right...
