알란파슨스 프로젝트 * Ammonia avenue

Alan Parsons Project - Ammonia Avenue


Is there no sign of light as we stand in the darkness?
Watching the sun arise
Is there no sign of life as we gaze at the waters?
Into the strangers eyes

And who are we to criticize or scorn the things that they do?
For we shall seek and we shall find Ammonia Avenue

If we call for the proof and we questions the answers
Only the doubt will grow
Are we blind to the truth or a sign to believe in?
Only the wise will know

And word by word they handed down the light that shines today
And those who came at first to scoff, remained behind to pray
Yes those who came at first to scoff, remained behind to pray

When you can't hear the rhyme and you can't see the reason
Why should the hope remain?
For a man will be tired and his soul will grow weary
Living his life in vain

And who are we to justify the right in all we do?
Until we seek until we find Ammonia Avenue

Through all the doubt somehow they knew
And stone by stone they built it high
Until the sun broke through
A ray of hope, a shining light Ammonia Avenue

Kansas * Dust in the wind

고3때였던가? 이 노래를 너무 좋아한 나머지....
책상 앞에 노랫말을 붙여놓고 하염없이 보면서 외웠었는데..
[Hold on]같은 신나는 노래도 좋아하지만,,
역시 [Dust in the wind]는 명곡 중의 명곡 인 듯 싶습니다..

고3때의 기분으로 다시 불러봐야겠군요..^^




DUST IN THE WIND


I close my eyes.
Only for a moment.
And the moment's gone.
All my dreams.
Pass before my eyes a curiosity.
Dust in the wind.
All they are is dust in the wind.

Same old song.
Just a drop of water in on endless sea.
All we do.
Crumbles to the ground though we refuse to see.
Dust in the wind.
all we are is dust in the wind.

Don't hang on.
Nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky.
It slips away.
All your money won't another minute buy.

Dust in the wind.
All we are is dust in the wind.
Dust in the wind.
Everything is dust in the wind.    

Camel * Long Goodbyes

숨막히도록 좋아했던 곡이다..
[Stationary Traveller]와 더불어..



Long goodbyes

Down by the lake a warm afternoon -
breezes carry children's balloons.
Once upon a time, not long ago,
she lived in a house by the grove.
And she recalls the day, when she left home...


Long good-byes, make me so sad.
I have to leave right now.
And though I hate to go,
I know it's for the better.

Long good-byes, make me so sad.
Forgive my leaving now.
You know I'll miss you so
and days we spent together.


Long in the day moon on the rise -
she sighs with a smile in her eyes.
In the park, it's late afterall,
she sits and stares at the wall.
And she recalls the day, when she left home...

(repeat chorus)

비발디 * 세상엔 참 평화 없어라

고음악 소프라노의 황금기를 구가하고 있는 Emma Kirkby(엠마 커크비)가 부른,,
그 유명한 비발디의 '세상엔 참 평화 없어라'...
영화 '샤인'에서 사용함으로서 세상 사람들에게 좀 더 주목을 받을 수 있었던 곡이였죠?

평화와 안락이 느껴지는 아름다운 곡으로 유난히 아침에 잘 어울리는 음악인 것 같아요..

요시카즈메라 * 옴브라마이푸

헨델의 오페라 [세르세]중 옴브라마이푸 (그 어디에도 없을 나무 그늘이여)...

좋아하는 헨델 성악곡 중 한곡이예요..^^

요시카즈 메라가 부른 '옴브라 마이푸'는 그의 청아한 보이스와 몽환적인 연출이
이 곡의 색깔과 썩 잘 어울렸다는 느낌을 받아요..
