昨日の通勤の1曲目は、Kissの♪I Was Made For Lovin' Youだった。続けてLed Zeppelinの♪移民の歌。ア〜〜!ロックだぜ。 最近はどうかは知らないが、昔々はフォークにしろロックにしろ体制側に立ち向かう反体制という構図になっていた。ベトナム反戦の頃、Love & Peaceを大合唱した時もそうだった。
♪Desperado, why don't you come to your senses You've been out ridin' fences, for so long - now. Ohh you're a hard one. I know that you've got your reasons. These things that are pleasin'you Can hurt you somehow.
Don't you draw the queen of diamonds boy She'll beat you if she's able. You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet. Now it seems to me, some fine things Have been laid upon your table. But you only want the ones That you can't get.
Desperado, Ohhhh you aint getting no younger. Your pain and your hunger, They're driving you home. And freedom, ohh freedom. Well that's just some people talking. Your prison is walking through this world all alone.
Don't your feet get cold in the winter time? The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine. It's hard to tell the night time from the day. And you're losing all your highs and lows aint it funny how the feeling goes away...
Desperado, Why don't you come to your senses? come down from your fences, open the gate. It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you. You better let somebody love you. (let sombody love you) You better let somebody love you...ohhh..hooo before it's too..oooo.. late.
今日は音楽鑑賞。大好きな曲の中で、Wilie Nelsonが歌うAlways on My Mindというラブソングがある。元々Brenda Leeが1972年に歌い、Elvis Preslyがカバーした曲。1982年にWilie Nelsonが歌い大ヒットした。最近ではPetshop Boysもカバーしている。聞き比べをしてみたが、やはりWilie Nelsonの味のある声が一番素敵だ。
このAlways on My Mindだが、恋人とのこれまでのことを振り返り、いかに彼女を愛していたのに彼女に対して何もしてあげられていなかったことに気づき、もう一度チャンスをもらえるなら君を喜ばせたいと歌うバラードだ。「You were always on my mind(君はいつも僕の心の中にいた)」と繰り返し歌うNelsonの歌声が素敵なのだ。
Always on My Mind
Maybe I didn't love you Quite as often as I could have Maybe I didn't treat you Quite as good as I should have If I made you feel second best Girl I'm sorry I was blind
You were always on my mind You were always on my mind
Maybe I didn't hold you All those lonely, lonely times And I guess I never told you I'm so happy that you're mine Little things I should have said and done I just never took the time
You were always on my mind You were always on my mind
Tell me, tell me that your Sweet love hasn't died And give me Give me one more chance To keep you satisfied satisfied
Little things I should have Said and done I just never took the time
You were always on my mind You were always on my mind You were always on my mind....
