Sweet Music Man, 허스키한 털보 Kenny Rogers...

*파란블로그(음악이있는응접실|2008/06/14 19:04)에서 옮겨온 글입니다.

 

여가수와 Duet으로 가장 잘 어울린다는 털보 가수 Kenny Rogers.

무성한 털북숭이 얼굴은 그의 트레이드마크다.

 

각설하고,

그의 사진을 보니 이젠 완연한 할아버지의 모습이다.

7-80년대 팝, 컨트리 가수 겸 영화배우로 맹활약하던 그의 명성도

세월의 힘엔 어쩔 수 없나보다.

 

하긴 본시부터 늙수구레한 그이기는 하지만,

1938년생으로 만 70세가 되는 할아버지<케니 로저스>에게서

새삼 세월의 무상함을 느끼지 않을 수 없다.

 

오랜만에,

허스키하지만 감미로운 케니의 노래 한 곡 들어보자.

Sweet Music Man

 

I wouldn't listen and I couldn't see

And all I have left now are words you said to me,

 

Sing a song sweet music man

'Cause I won't be there

to hold your hand like I used to

I'm through with you

You're a hell of a singer and powerful man

But you surround yourself with people

who demand so little of you

 

You touched my soul with your beautiful song

You ever had me singing along right with you

You said I need you

Then you changed the words and added harmony

And you sang the song you had written

for me to someone new

 

But nobody sings a love song quite like you do

And nobody else can make me sing along

And nobody else can make me feel

that things are right when I know they're wrong

Nobody sings a love song quite like you

 

Sing your song sweet music man

And travel the world with a six-piece band

that does for you what you ask him to

And you try to stay young

but the song's just sung to so many people

We've begun become back on you

 

Sing your song sad music man

You're making your living doing

One night stands

'Cause they're through with you

They don't need you

You're still a hell of a singer

but a broken man but you'll keep on

looking for one last fan to sing to

 

But nobody sings a love song quite like you do

And nobody else can make me sing along

And nobody else can make me feel

that things are right when I know they're wrong

Nobody sings a love song quite like you

 

Sing your song sweet music man

I believe in you
