옛날 음악이 무조건 훨씬 더 훌륭하다고 생각지 않습니다, 절대로 - Bruised by Jack's Mannequin

제가 열심히 듣는 철수 형님 방송에서 며칠 전에 Train이라는 band의 음악을 소개하면서 위와 비슷한 얘기를 했었습니다. 물론 Beatles, Pink Floyd, Pat Metheny 등 예전부터 지금까지 훌륭한 사람들이 많죠. 그렇다고 해서 지금 현재 음악을 만들고 연주하고 하는 사람들이 '일반적으로' 떨어진다고 얘기할 수는 없다고 봅니다. 저는 Train도 좋지만 제가 좋아하는 다른 band를 소개하고 싶네요. 제가 써 놓고 보니 제목이나 글 내용 자체가 좀 말이 안 되는 얘기네요. 예전이나 지금이나 잘 찾아보면 훌륭한 musician들 당연히 많습니다.

I've got my things, I'm good to go
You met me at the terminal
Just one more plane ride and it's done

We stood like statues at the gate
Vacation's come and gone too late
There's so much sun where I'm from
I had to give it away, had to give you away

And we spent four days on an
Island at your family's old hotel
Sometimes perfection can be
It can be perfect hell, perfect...
(perfect하다는 것이 지옥일 수도 있다는...)

Hours pass, and she still counts the minutes
That I am not there, I swear I didn't mean
For it to feel like this
Like every inch of me is bruised, bruised
And don't fly fast. Oh, pilot can you help me?
Can you make this last? This plane is all I got
So keep it steady, now
Cause every inch you see is bruised

I lace my Chucks, I walk the aisle
I take my pills, the babies cry
All I hear is what's playing through
The in-flight radio
Now every word of every song
I ever heard that made me wanna stay
Is what's playing through
The in-flight radio, and I
And I am, finally waking up

Hours pass, and she still counts the minutes
That I am not there, I swear I didn't mean
For it to feel like this
Like every inch of me is bruised, bruised
Don't fly fast. Oh, pilot can you help me?
Can you make this last? This plane is all I got
So keep it steady, now
Cause every inch you see is bruised, yeah

So read your books, but stay out late
Some nights, some nights, and don't think
That you and I can't stop by the bar
You haven't shown your face here since the bad news
Well I'm here till close, with fingers crossed
Each night cause your place isn't far

And hours pass, and hours pass, yeah

Yeah she still counts the minutes
That I am not there, I swear I didn't mean
For it to feel like this
Like every inch of me is bruised, bruised
And don't fly fast. Oh, pilot can you help me?
Can you make this last? This plane is all I got
So keep it steady, now
Cause every inch you see is bruised, bruised, bruised

취향이라는 것은 지극히 개인적인 것이니까 저는 좋아도 당연히 별로 맘에 안 들 수 있습니다. 제가 말씀드리고자 하는 것은 여전히 좋은 음악이 많이 있으니까 찾아서 들으시고 be happy하시라고요.
