Bicara tentang lagu ballad 90an belum lengkap tanpa membahas musisi asal Australia, Rick Price. Ia dikenal berkat sentuhan magisnya di nada-nada melankolis nan menyentuh.
Heaven Knows, Where is the Love, dan If You Were My Baby merupakan sejumlah masterpiece yang senantiasa membekas di hati banyak orang. Hingga saat ini Rick Price pun masih bersemangat melakoni tur di berbagai belahan dunia.
Lagu Heaven Knows dirilis pada 1992, berbarengan dengan dirilisnya album perdana berjudul sama. Sepanjang karier, Rick Price telah mengoleksi 8 album studio dan 3 album kompilasi. Kehebatannya menjiwai lagu ballad bakal jadi warisan untuk para musisi lain, terutama generasi muda.
Rick Price - Heaven Knows
She's always on my mind
From the time I wake up 'til I close my eyes
She's everywhere I go
She's all I know
And though she's so far away
It just keeps gettin' stronger, every day
And even now she's gone
I'm still holding on
So tell me where do I start
'Cause it's breakin' my heart
Don't want to let her go
Maybe my love will come back some day
Only heaven knows
And maybe our hearts will find a way
Only heaven knows
And all I can do is hope and pray
'Cause heaven knows
My friends keep tellin' me
That if you really love her
You've gotta set her free
And if she returns in kind
I'll know she's mine
So tell me where do I start
'Cause it's breakin' my heart
Don't want to let her go
Maybe my love will come back some day
Only heaven knows
And maybe our hearts will find a way
Only heaven knows
And all I can do is hope and pray
'Cause heaven knows
Why I live in despair
'Cause wide awake or dreaming
I know she's never there
And all the time I act so brave
I'm shaking inside
Why does it hurt me so
Maybe my love will come back some day
Only heaven knows
And maybe our hearts will find a way
Only heaven knows
And all I can do is hope and pray
Maybe my love will come back some day
Only heaven knows
And maybe our hearts will find a way
Only heaven knows
And all I can do is hope and pray
'Cause heaven knows
Heaven knows
Heaven knows
