She's faced the hardest times you could imagine And many times her eyes fought back the tears And when her youthful world was about to fall in Each time her slender shoulders bore the weight of all her fears And a sorrow no one hears Still rings in midnight silence in her ears
Let her cry, for she's a lady (She's a lady) Let her dream, for she's a child (Child) Let the rain fall down upon her She's a free and gentle flower growing wild
And if by chance I should hold her (If by chance that I should hold her) Let me hold her for a time (Let me hold her for a time) But if allowed just one possession I would pick her from the garden to be mine (I would pick her from the garden to be mine)
Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm Be careful how you touch her, for she'll awaken And sleep's the only freedom that she knows And when you walk into her eyes, you won't believe The way she's always payin' for a debt she never owes And a silent wind still blows That only she can hear, and so she goes
Let her cry, for she's a lady Let her dream, for she's a child Let the rain fall down upon her She's a free and gentle flower growing wild
Let her cry, for she's a lady (She's a lady) Let her dream, for she's a child Let the rain fall down upon her She's a free and gentle flower growing wild She's a flower growing wild She's free
There comes a time when we need a certain call When the world must come together as one There are people dying Oh, and it's time to lend a hand to life The greatest gift of all We can't go on pretending day by day That someone, somehow will soon make a change We're all a part of God's great big family And the truth - you know love is all we need
We are the world, we are the children We are the ones who make a brighter day so let's start giving There's a choice we're making We're saving our own lives It's true we'll make a better day Just you and me
Well, send'em you your heart So they know that someone cares And their lives will be stronger and free As God has shown us By turning stone to bread And so we all must lend a helping hand
We are the world, we are the children We are the ones who make a brighter day so let's start giving There's a choice we're making We're saving our own lives It's true we'll make a better day Just you and me
When you're down and out There seems no hope at all But if you just believe There's no way we can fall Well, well, well, let's realize That one change can only come When we stand together as one
We are the world, we are the children We are the ones who make a brighter day so let's start giving There's a choice we're making We're saving our own lives It's true we'll make a better day Just you and me
I know your eyes in the morning sun I feel you touch me in the pouring rain And the moment that you wander far from me I wanna feel you in my arms again
And you come to me on a summer breeze Keep me warm in your love and then softly leave And it's me you need to show
How deep is your love, how deep is your love I really need to learn 'Cause were living in a world of fools Breaking us down When they all should let us be We belong to you and me
I believe in you You know the door to my very soul Youre the light in my deepest darkest hour You're my saviour when I fall
And you may not think I care for you When you know down inside that I really do And it's me you need to show
Born down in a dead man's town The first kick I took was when I hit the ground You end up like a dog that's been beat too much Till you spend half your life just covering up
비루한 동네에서 태어나, 발을 딛자마자 난 걷어차였지
인생의 절반을 그저 지내면서, 개처럼 이리저리 채이다가 인생을 마치겠지.
Borninthe U.S.A., I was borninthe U.S.A. I was borninthe U.S.A., borninthe U.S.A.
Got in a little hometown jam So they put a rifle in my hand Sent me off to a foreign land
To go and kill the yellow man
작은 마을 소동에 휘말리면서
그들(미국 정부)이 내 손에 총을 쥐어주고 낯선 땅으로 날 보내버렸다네 황인종(베트공)을 죽이라고 말이야.
Borninthe U.S..A....
Come back home to the refinery Hiring man said "Son if it was up to me" Went down to see my V.A. man He said "Son, don't you understand"
고향에 돌아와 제련소로 일자리를 알아보러 갔더니
담당자는 말하길, "이봐 내가 자네라면 재향군인회에 가볼거야.
내말 알아듣겠지?"
I had a brother at Khe Sahn Fighting off the Viet Cong They're still there, he's all gone
나는 케산에 형제가 하나 있는데,
베트공을 물리친 후, 아직도 거기에 있지, 완전히 맛이 갔어.
He had a woman he loved in Saigon I got a picture of him in her arms now
사이공에는 그가 사랑하는 여인이 있어.
그가 그녀에게 안긴 사진도 있지.
Down inthe shadow of the penitentiary Out by the gas fires of the refinery I'm ten years burning down the road Nowhere to run ain't got nowhere to go
고해소의 그림자 아래서 제련소의 가스불 옆에서
나는 10년의 세월을 날려버렸지
도망칠 곳도, 갈곳도 없는 채로.
Borninthe U.S.A., I was borninthe U.S.A. Borninthe U.S.A., I'm a long gone Daddy inthe U.S.A. Borninthe U.S.A., Borninthe U.S.A. Borninthe U.S.A., I'm a cool rocking Daddy inthe U.S.A.
Load up on guns and bring your friends It's fun to lose and to pretend She's over bored and self assured Oh no, I know a dirty word
Hello, hello, hello, how low? (x4) With the lights out it's less dangerous Here we are now, entertain us I feel stupid and contagious Here we are now Entertain us, a mulatto , an albino , a mosquito, my libido I'm worse at what I do best And for this gift I feel blessed Our little group has always been And always will until the end
And I forget just why I taste Oh yeah, I guess it makes me smile I found it hard, it was hard to find Oh well, whatever never mind
[Eminem] May I have your attention please? May I have your attention please? Will the real Slim Shady please stand up? I repeat, will the real Slim Shady please stand up? We're gonna have a problem here..
Y'all act like you never seen a white person before Jaws all on the floor like Pam, like Tommy just burst in the door and started whoopin her ass worse than before they first were divorce, throwin her over furniture (Ahh!) It's the return of the... 'Ah, wait, no way, you're kidding, he didn't just say what I think he did, did he?' And Dr. Dre said... nothing you idiots! Dr. Dre's dead, he's locked in my basement! (Ha-ha!) Feminist women love Eminem {*vocal turntable: chigga chigga chigga*} 'Slim Shady, I'm sick of him Look at him, walkin around grabbin his you-know-what Flippin the you-know-who,' 'Yeah, but he's so cute though!' Yeah, I probably got a couple of screws up in my head loose But no worse, than what's goin on in your parents' bedrooms Sometimes, I wanna get on TV and just let loose, but can't but it's cool for Tom Green to hump a dead moose 'My bum is on your lips, my bum is on your lips' And if I'm lucky, you might just give it a little kiss And that's the message that we deliver to little kids And expect them not to know what a woman's clitoris is Of course they gonna know what intercourse is By the time they hit fourth grade They got the Discovery Channel don't they? 'We ain't nothing but mammals..' Well, some of us cannibals who cut other people open like cantaloupes {*SLURP*} But if we can hump dead animals and antelopes then there's no reason that a man and another man can't elope {*EWWW!*} But if you feel like I feel, I got the antidote Women wave your pantyhose, sing the chorus and it goes
Chorus: Eminem (repeat 2X)
I'm Slim Shady, yes I'm the real Shady All you other Slim Shadys are just imitating So won't the real Slim Shady please stand up, please stand up, please stand up?
[Eminem] Will Smith don't gotta cuss in his raps to sell his records; well I do, so fuck him and fuck you too! You think I give a damn about a Grammy? Half of you critics can't even stomach me, let alone stand me 'But Slim, what if you win, wouldn't it be weird?' Why? So you guys could just lie to get me here? So you can, sit me here next to Britney Spears? Shit, Christina Aguilera better switch me chairs so I can sit next to Carson Daly and Fred Durst and hear 'em argue over who she gave head to first You little bitch, put me on blast on MTV 'Yeah, he's cute, but I think he's married to Kim, hee-hee!' I should download her audio on MP3 and show the whole world how you gave Eminem VD {*AHHH!*} I'm sick of you little girl and boy groups, all you do is annoy me so I have been sent here to destroy you {*bzzzt*} And there's a million of us just like me who cuss like me; who just don't give a fuck like me who dress like me; walk, talk and act like me and just might be the next best thing but not quite me!
Chorus
[Eminem] I'm like a head trip to listen to, cause I'm only givin you things you joke about with your friends inside your living room The only difference is I got the balls to say it in front of y'all and I don't gotta be false or sugarcoated at all I just get on the mic and spit it and whether you like to admit it {*ERR*} I just shit it better than ninety percent of you rappers out can Then you wonder how can kids eat up these albums like valiums It's funny; cause at the rate I'm goin when I'm thirty I'll be the only person in the nursin home flirting Pinchin nurses asses when I'm jackin off with Jergens And I'm jerkin but this whole bag of Viagra isn't working And every single person is a Slim Shady lurkin He could be workin at Burger King, spittin on your onion rings {*HACH*} Or in the parkin lot, circling Screaming 'I don't give a fuck!' with his windows down and his system up So, will the real Shady please stand up? And put one of those fingers on each hand up? And be proud to be outta your mind and outta control and one more time, loud as you can, how does it go?
Chorus 2X
[Eminem] Ha ha Guess there's a Slim Shady in all of us Fuck it, let's all stand up
제랄드 졸링(Gerard Joling, 네덜란드 출신으로 현지 발음으로는 헤라르트 욜링이다. 하지만 1985년 발표한 이 곡이 국내에서 히트하면서 내한 공연까지 할 정도로 인기를 끌었고 그 당시 이름이 제랄드 졸링으로 소개되었기 때문에 한국에서는 제랄드 졸링이라는 이름으로 널리 알려져있다)의 데뷔곡이자 그의 최대 히트곡.
특이하게도 서구권에서는 크게 히트하지 못했지만 한국과 일본등 아시아권에서 대히트를 기록했다.
실연의 아픔을 잊기 위해 어딘가로 떠나려는 남자의 마음을 직설적인 가사와 정말 열대섬에 어울리는 감미로운 멜로디를 그에 걸맞는 아름다운 미성으로 부른다.
목소리가 정말 미성인데 원래 성악을 전공했다.
-----------------------------------
Here I'm sittin' and it's getting cold The morning rain's against my window pane While the world it looks so cold and grey In my mind I drift away When I'm on my way to a tropic island You would always say I was a dreamer You were right...
지금 내가 앉아있는 여긴 점점 추워져요. 창문 유리창에는 아침비가 부딪혀, 세상은 차갑고 잿빛으로 보여요. 내 마음은 정처없이 떠돌며 어느 열대의 섬으로 향하죠. 그대는 언제나 나를 몽상가라 했었죠. 맞아요.
Gonna buy me a ticket to the tropics Forget our love and leave this place behind me Gonna buy me a ticket to the tropics And prove myself that I can live without your love
나는 열대섬으로 가는 표를 한장 살거에요. 우리의 사랑을 잊고 여기를 떠날거에요. 나는 열대섬으로 가는 표 한장을 사서, 당신의 사랑 없이도 살 수 있다는 것을 보여줄 거에요.
Here I'm sittin' in the midday plane The sun is shining on my face again Thinking 'bout the way it had to end Now I'm sittin' here alone And it's not the way we were together I want you to know I'm gonna miss you Miss you bad...
나는 여기 한낮의 비행기에 앉아 다시금 내 얼굴을 비추는 태양빛을 받으며 그렇게 끝내야 했던 우리의 사랑을 생각해요. 지금 난 여기에 홀로 앉아보니, 우리가 함께 했던 때와는 다르군요. 내가 당신을 그리워한다는 걸 당신이 알기를 바래요, 너무나 그리워요.
Gonna buy me a ticket to the tropics Forget our love and leave this place behind me Gonna buy me a ticket to the tropics And prove myself that I can live without your love
Gonna buy me a ticket to the tropics Forget our love and leave this place behind me Gonna buy me a ticket to the tropics And prove myself that I can...
이미 10대 Idol로 한국 대중가요의 축이 옮겨진지도 20년도 넘은 것 같다. 시대의 흐름을 어찌할 수 없겠지만
그래도 예전의 원숙함이 그리워짐은 어쩔 수 없는 노땅들의 세대차인듯.
그래도 2009년은 대한민국 가요계를 Idol이라고는 하지만 음악적 성취에 있어서만은 꽤 의미 있는 해가
되지 않았나 싶다. 물론 그것도 다 각본에 짜여져 있는 것이긴 하겠지만 말이다.
그래도 음악은 듣고 좋아서 즐기면 그만 아니겠는가.
<브라운 아이드 걸즈>
최근 아이돌 그룹 특히 걸그룹들중 가장 음악의 완성도가 높다고 하겠다.
그래도 살만한 가치가 있는 앨범을 내놓고 있다. 조금 상업적인게 지나쳐서 들을만한 노래들을
찢어서 음반을 Part1, Part2로 내고 있어서 좀 짜증은 나지만 요즘같이 가수들 먹고 살기 힘든
현실이라 수긍은 된다. "노래가 좋으면 음반을 사라. 초중고대딩들아!" 빨아만 먹다보면 결국
나중엔 꿀은 한점도 없는 설탕물만 먹게 될거다
<리쌍>
2009년에 내놓은 Hexagonal은 꽤 대중에 어필하는 넘버가 들어있다. 특히 장기하와 얼굴들이 Feat.한
노래에는 정말 간만에 유쾌한 해학이 있다. 내가 좋아하는 넘버는 "내 몸은 너를 지웠다"인데 19금이란다.
썅~ 미친리쌍에서도 좋아하던 노래가 "조까라마이싱"이었는데. 그것도 19금인가?
<K-Will>
발라드가 살아남을 자리가 있긴 한건가? 그래도 명맥을 유지하고 있긴 한 것 같다.
이건 모 심의에 걸려서 뮤비가 공개불가 판정을 받았다고 한다.
공륜은 다 나가 뒈졌으면 싶은게 솔직한 국민의 심정이다. 내가 내는 세금이 왜 그런
쓰잘데기 없는 일을 하는 새끼들 밥값으로 들어가야 하는지 도저히 알 수가 없다. 좃도.
<원투>
못된여자1보다 1250배쯤 좋은 것 같다. 피처링은 서인영이라고 하는데 얼굴만 피처링한건가?
<포미닛>
2NE1과 함께 파워풀한 보칼과 댄스의 힘이 느껴진다.
<2NE1>
라이브를 보면 이 아이들은.. 아이들이 아니다. 산다라의 보칼능력이 조금 처지는 것이 유일한 단점이다.
<Super Junior>
노래의 간지로는 2009년 쵝오다.
지극히 주관적인 입장에서 선호하는 것들만 뽑아서 매우 편중된 느낌은 들지만 그럭저럭
2009년 들어줄만한 가요들도 꽤 많았던 것 같다.
