Ben Folds - Rockin' the Suburbs

Posted 2011/07/29 10:59 by 바삭

기타리스트 없는 락밴드 벤폴즈 파이브 해체 후 발매한 벤 폴즈의 1집
'Rockin' the Suburbs'

밴 폴즈 파이브의 실질적인 해체 원인은 벤 폴즈가 결혼 후 호주에 정착을 한 것 때문인 것으로 알려졌다..

벤 폴즈는 이 앨범에서 보컬과 피아노 외에도 위 사진과 같이 기타와 드럼 등 다른 악기들가지 연주하며 원맨 밴드로서 거듭난다... 

수록곡들 중 'Still Fighting It'은 피아노 반주에 어쿠스틱 기타와 일렉트릭 기타가 어우러져 아름다운 멜로디를 만들어내며 단연 귀에 쏙 들어온다.
 
이 곡은 벤 폴즈가 그의 아들을 위해 쓴 곡인데, 어렵지 않은 가사를 읽고 듣다보면 내 마음도 별반 다르지 않다는게 느껴진다.. 

얼마 전 내한공연도 성공리에 끝낸 벤 폴즈...
어쨎든 우리나라 공연시장은 점점 더 풍성해 지는것 같다.

Still Fighting It

Good morning, son.
I am a bird
Wearing a brown polyester shirt
You want a coke?
Maybe some fries?
The roast beef combo’s only $9.95
It’s okay, you don’t have to pay
I’ve got all the change

Everybody knows
It hurts to grow up
And everybody does
It's so weird to be back here
Let me tell you what
The years go on and
We’re still fighting it, we’re still fighting it
And you’re so much like me
I’m sorry

Good morning, son
In twenty years from now
Maybe we’ll both sit down and have a few beers
And I can tell you ‘bout today
And how I picked you up and everything changed
It was pain
Sunny days and rain
I knew you’d feel the same things

Everybody knows
It sucks to grow up
And everybody does
It's so weird to be back here.
Let me tell you what
The years go on and
We’re still fighting it, we’re still fighting it
You’ll try and try and one day you’ll fly
Away from me

Good morning, son
I am a bird

It was pain
Sunny days and rain
I knew you’d feel the same things

Everybody knows
Tt hurts to grow up
And everybody does
It's so weird to be back here.
Let me tell you what
The years go on and
We’re still fighting it, we’re still fighting it
Oh, we’re still fighting it, we’re still fighting it

And you’re so much like me
I’m sorry
