His extravagance, combined with tenderness and complimented by a whole lot of 'Funkiness', is enriched through years of recording with award-winning stars like Steve Vai, Cindy Lauper, Little Steven, Tina Turner and Billy Joel. A former member of he Pretenders, TM recorded on the platinum album "Get Close" and also produced and arranged, amongst others, the album "Tribute to Deep Purple According to New York" on which artists like Yngwie Malamsteen, members of Living Colour and Bernie Worrell (P-Funk) all participated. It was TM who contributed the compelling groove with his unmistakable style on Joe Cocker's mainstream classic "Unchain my Heart."

Why
T.M. Stevens Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
滴答滴答 剩大钟在陪着我回忆
电话里头曾经是你最温柔的声音
现在只有空气 冷漠地回应
OH 给你我的心 能否请你别遗弃
一句爱你爱你爱你爱你 能否再也不分离
OH 给你我的心 为什么你却给了我孤寂
就算爱你爱你爱你爱你 可能你也不想听
现在换了谁安睡在你胸口的位置
你的承诺曾是一种不自觉的甜蜜
现在一划一笔 刺在我心里
OH 给你我的心 能否请你别遗弃
一句爱你爱你爱你爱你 能否再也不分离
OH 给你我的心 为什么你却给了我孤寂
就算爱你爱你爱你爱你 可能你也不想听
回忆 对你最后的回忆 (回忆 最后的回忆)
是你 慢慢走远的身影 (是你走远的身影)
然后你 离开了没有痕迹 (然后你 离开)
然后我 崩溃了放纵哭泣 (然后我 哭泣)
恨你恨你 (每当我想起你) 每当我想起曾经
还是爱你爱你爱你爱你 难道还不能清醒
OH 给你我的心 能否请你别遗弃
一句爱你爱你爱你爱你 能否再也不分离
OH 给你我的心 为什么你却给了我孤寂
就算爱你爱你爱你爱你 可能你也不想听
Your confession remains to be my final pleading,
But the only thing that's here with me is tic tac tic tac tic tac tic tac
The lyrics of "Why" by T.M. Stevens delve into the emotions of heartbreak and longing after a separation. The singer reflects on the quietness that follows each night since the breakup, emphasizing the loneliness and nostalgia that come with it. The ticking of the clock becomes a constant companion, reminding them of the memories they shared with their partner, whose gentle voice once filled their phone calls but now only meets with cold silence. The plea to not abandon their heart and the repeated declarations of love underscore a desperate desire to hold onto what once was, despite the inevitable distance that has now grown between them.
As the lyrics lament the loss of warmth in the partner's embrace and the unfamiliarity of someone else now occupying the once-familiar place on their chest, there is a sense of betrayal in the contrast between past promises of sweetness and the present reality of painful detachment. The singer questions why they have been left with solitude instead of the love they had hoped for, even as they acknowledge that perhaps the other person may not want to hear those declarations of love anymore. The imagery of the past recollections fading into distant shadows and the singer's subsequent breakdown into tears highlight the depth of their hurt and confusion.
The internal conflict between love and resentment is palpable in the lyrics as the singer struggles to reconcile their lingering affection with the bitterness of being left behind. The recurring motif of pleading for the return of love and unity, juxtaposed with the harsh acknowledgment that their heart has been met with loneliness instead, showcases the desperation and heartache that permeate the song. The final words of pleading and a poignant reference to the confession becoming a final plea, accompanied by the relentless ticking of the clock, encapsulate the cyclical nature of their emotions and the constant reminder of time passing by in the absence of resolution or reconciliation. Through its vivid imagery and emotional depth, "Why" captures the complex aftermath of a love lost and the enduring ache of unrequited longing.
