Volume II showcases Wonder's unmatched versatility. It opens with the now-universal ode to parenthood, "Isn't She Lovely," famously featuring the sounds of his newborn daughter Aisha Morris splashing in a bath. The disc then moves through the heartfelt "Joy Inside My Tears", the powerful history lesson of "Black Man" which breaks down racial contributions across the globe, and the tender, harp-led "If It's Magic". The second half builds to a majestic conclusion: the epic "As," a soul-stirring declaration of love that measures time in cosmic terms (“Until the day that you are me, ha ha”), followed by the relentlessly joyous and percussive "Another Star," which features a brilliant shift from minor-key verses to a major-key, Afro-Brazilian inspired release. The set closes with the final two EP tracks, "All Day Sucker" and the gorgeous instrumental "Easy Goin' Evening (My Mama's Call)".
最初的原始黑胶版本以一套双张 LP 外加一张 7 英寸四首歌 EP 的形式发行——因为 Stevie Wonder 创作的歌曲数量太多,一张标准 LP 根本无法承载。这套宏大的作品后来被完美地转制为“2CD”数字格式,将原版双张黑胶唱片和附加 EP 的全部曲目整合为两张 CD,让乐迷能够更方便地在现代设备上完整欣赏这部时长近 105 分钟的音乐巨制。关于 2CD 版本的曲目信息可以参考 Discogs 收录的具体曲目列表。 stevie wonder songs in the key of life 2cdrar
