1. 개요

스티비 원더의 1976년 앨범 Songs in the Key of Life의 1번째 트랙.

2. 상세

스티비 원더는 노랫말보다 노래의 제목을 먼저 떠올리고 곡을 썼다고 한다. 그가 이 곡에 대해 가지고 있던 생각은 사랑은 그 자체로는 공허한 것이고, 사랑이 효과적이려면 사랑도 영양을 섭취할 필요가 있다는 것이었다.

그는 당시의 파트너 욜란다 시먼스가 딸 아이샤를 임신하고 있던 1974년 말 뉴욕의 어느 호텔에서 이 곡을 쓰기 시작했다. 그 후 로즈 일렉트릭 피아노를 이용해 카세트데모를 녹음했다. 본격적인 녹음은 할리우드의 크리스탈 사운드 스튜디오에서 진행했고 곡을 발전시키는 과정에서 데모에서 D조였던 조성을 E♭로 옮겼다. 이 곡의 스트링은 야마하 GX-1의 소리인데, 알 그린의 음악에서 영향 받았다고 한다.

Could change your joy and laughter to tears and pain
