1. 想起要为这歌写blog是因为在与友人讨论"信任与真相"的时候想起此歌的歌词: "there's no comfort in the truth, pain is all you'll find"!
2. 这歌在我听歌的生涯中有其极重要的地位，亦是我喜欢1984的其中一个原因，我在那年第一次听到这首歌，即便深深爱上它！而亦由此歌开始，我认真的爱上听英文歌，以前都是hit的就听下，没有怎样留意英美乐坛，因此这歌对我来说是有象徵意义的！

3. 有些好歌听得多就会开始厌倦又或者大大减低它的好听程度，不过Careless Whisper对我来说仍是百听不厌的好歌！
4. 当年WHAM!红得很，这歌出现在他们最好卖的大碟"Make It Big"内，这歌亦把他们的音乐带到另一层面！不说不知，原来这歌正式来说不是Wham!的歌，是George Michael的first solo single，只是放了在"Make It Big"的大碟！不过，最奇怪的是几乎所有Wham!的歌也是George Michael写的，反而此歌是与队友Andrew Ridgeley合写的！

5. 话说Careless Whisper的起源是当George Michael还未出道，在戏院当带位，一天工作时脑中便出现这歌的melody，后在回家途中想到那段经典的saxophone riff！我在想有人能够作出这么的一首歌，无论他之后有如何多的负面新闻也是值得原谅的，况且George Michael的音乐才华是无容置疑的，他之后也写出无数好作品，尤其喜欢他的melancholy作品！
6. 那年香港也有三个改编版，日本也有西城秀树改编！不过三个香港版其实词也不是填得特别好，最多人识的应是梅艳芳的"梦幻的拥抱"，不过我个人较喜欢蔡国权的"无心快语"，也是最贴题，当然Anita唱歌的哀怨味道是无人能及！

8. Lyrics:
I feel so unsure,
As I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor.
As the music dies...
Something in your eyes,
Calls to mind a silver screen,
And all its sad goodbyes.
CHORUS
I'm never gonna dance again,
Guilty feet have got no rhythm.
Though it's easy to pretend,
I know you're not a fool.
I should have known better than to cheat a friend,
And waste this chance that I'd been given.
So I'm never gonna dance again,
The way I danced with you.
ooh ooh
Time can never mend,
The careless whisper of a good friend.
To the heart and mind,
Ignorance is kind
There's no comfort in the truth,
Pain is the all you'll find.
CHORUS
I'm never gonna dance again,
Guilty feet have got no rhythm.
Though it's easy to pretend,
I know you're not a fool.
I should have known better than to cheat a friend,
And waste this chance that I'd been given.
So I'm never gonna dance again,
The way I danced with you.
BRIDGE
Tonight the music seems so loud,
I wish that we could lose this crowd.
Maybe it's better this way,
We'd hurt each other with the things we want to say.
We could have been so good together,
We could have lived this dance forever...
But now, who's gonna dance with me?
Please stay.
CHORUS
And I'm never gonna dance again,
Guilty feet have got no rhythm.
Though it's easy to pretend,
I know you're not a fool.
I should have known better than to cheat a friend,
And waste this chance that I'd been given.
So I'm never gonna dance again,
The way I danced with you.
ooh ooh
Now that you're gone...
Now that you're gone...
Now that you're gone...
Was what I did so wrong?
So wrong that you had to leave me alone?
引用George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley have announced that they will come together 30 years after splitting up Wham! to promote Make It Bigger, an expanded reissue of the band’s 1984 studio album due later this year
The pair ruled the pop airwaves in 1984 with a series of smash hits taken from Make It Big, including Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go, Freedom and Everything She Wants. To date Make It Big has sold nearly 10m copies worldwide. George and Andrew eventually called it a day with The Final Concert at Wembley Stadium in June 1986, just as they chalked up another number on single in the UK with The Edge of Heaven.
Full details of the Make It Bigger reissue have yet to be announced, but the unreleased-on-CD ‘Special Version’ of Careless Whisper (aka the Jerry Wexler Mix) has been confirmed as appearing on the bonus disc along with a previously unreleased seven-minute instrumental guitar demo written by Ridgeley. A source close to the duo told SDE that including a Ridgeley solo composition was “key” to persuading him step back into the public eye and help promote Make It Bigger.
Other bonus content will include the Long Version of Freedom, the Pudding Mix of Last Christmas (the festive number wasn’t on the original album, of course), and all the instrumentals issued at the time (largely used as B-sides). In total, three versions extra of Everything She Wants will feature on the deluxe including Everyting She Want (the much-bootlegged ‘Jamaican Mix’) and a reworking of the 1997 version from The Best of Wham: If You Were There compilation, called Everything She Wants 97 16.
The ‘Special Version’ of Careless Whisper will see its CD debut on Make It Bigger.
Perhaps the most anticipated track on Make It Bigger will be the previously unheard outtake (I’m) Super Hard, Lady. This infamous ‘X-rated’ number was confined to the vaults on the insistence of manager Simon Napier-Bell after he heard the demo and called it “vulgar” (George later reworked it as Credit Card Baby).
As well as the two-CD set, a Make It Bigger deluxe box will be issued which will include both CDs, a DVD of promo videos (plus the Foreign Skies film), a shuttlecock, a ‘Choose Life’ T-shirt, a teeth whitening kit and a 64-page hardcover photo book: I Know You’re Not A Fool: Wham! in ’84.
George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley are expected to support the reissue with a committed media campaign. Appearances on top tier UK TV shows are promised, including Loose Women and Sunday Brunch. Broadcaster Nick Knowles also let slip recently that he had filmed an episode of his BBC show DIY SOS at Ridgeley’s home in Cornwall, which is due to be broadcast in October.
Make It Bigger is expected later this year.

AllMusic Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine [-]
The title was a promise to themselves, Wham!'s assurance that they would make it big after struggling out of the gates the first time out. They succeeded on a grander scale than they ever could have imagined, conquering the world and elsewhere with this effervescent set of giddy new wave pop-soul, thereby making George Michael a superstar and consigning Andrew Ridgeley to the confines of Trivial Pursuit. It was so big and the singles were so strong that it's easy to overlook its patchwork qualities. It's no longer than eight tracks, short even for the pre-CD era, and while the four singles are strong, the rest is filler, including an Isley Brothers cover. Thankfully, it's the kind of filler that's so tied to its time that it's fascinating in its stilted post-disco dance-pop rhythms and Thatcher/Reagan materialism -- an era that encouraged songs called "Credit Card Baby." If this dichotomy between the A-sides and B-sides is far too great to make this essential, the way Faith later would be, those A-sides range from good to terrific. "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" is absolute silliness whose very stupidity is its strength, and if "Everything She Wants" is merely agreeable bubblegum, "Freedom" is astounding, a sparkling Motown rip-off rippling with spirit and a timeless melody later ripped off by Noel Gallagher. Then, there's the concluding "Careless Whisper," a soulful slow one where Michael regrets a one-night stand over a richly seductive background and a yearning saxophone. It was an instant classic, and it was the first indication of George Michael's strengths as a pop craftsman -- which means it points the way to Faith, not the halfhearted Edge of Heaven.
Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou (25 June 1963 – 25 December 2016), known professionally as George Michael, was an English singer, songwriter, philanthropist and record producer who rose to fame as a member of the music duo Wham! He was best known for his work in the 1980s and 1990s, including hit singles such as "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" and "Last Christmas", and albums such as Faith (1987) and Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1 (1990).
