참 매력 있는 음악을 했었는데요 - Glycerine and Swallowed by Bush

요즘도 가끔씩 듣고 있습니다. 목소리도 좋고 단순하면서도 힘있는 음악을 들려줘서 좋았는데 어느 때부터인가는 아무 소식이 없더군요.

Must be your skin that I'm sinkin in
Must be for real cause now I can feel
and I didn't mind
it's not my kind
not my time to wonder why
everything's gone white
and everything's grey
now your here now you away
I don't want this
remember that
I'll never forget where your at
don't let the days go by
glycerine

I'm never alone
I'm alone all the time
are you at one
or do you lie
we live in a wheel
where everyone steals
but when we rise it's like strawberry fields

If I treated you bad
you bruise my face
couldn't love you more
you got a beautiful taste
don't let the days go by
could have been easier on you
I coudn't change though I wanted to
could have been easier by three
our old friend fear and you and me
glycerine
don't let the days go by
glycerine

I needed you more
when we wanted us less
I could not kiss just regress
it might just be
clear simple and plain
that's just fine
that's just one of my names
don't let the days go by
could've been easier on you
glycerine

'Don't speak'라는 노래를 힛트시켰던 No Doubt라는 band의 Gwen Stefani랑 결혼하고 애 낳고 하더니 음악 관련 소식은 전혀 없네요. wife는 musician으로는 아니더라도 활발히 뭔가 하는 듯 합니다만.

Warm sun feed me up
And I'm leery loaded up
Loathing for a change
And I slip some boil away

Swallowed followed
Heavy about everything but my love
Swallowed sorrowed
I'm with everyone and yet not

Just wanted to be myself
Hey you said you would love to try some
Hey you said you would love to die some
In the middle of a world on a fishhook
You're the wave

Swallowed followed
Heavy about everything but my love
Swallowed hollowed
Sharp about everyone but yourself
Swallowed oh no
I'm with everyone and yet not

Piss on self-esteem
Forward Busted knee
Sick head blackened lungs
And a simple selfish son

Swallowed followed
Heavy about everything but my love
Swallowed oh no
I'm with everyone and yet not

Gotta get away from here

I miss the one that I love a lot

노래 가사도 이제 다시 읽어 보니 무슨 소린지 잘 모르겠네요. 그냥 그 때 기분을 표현한 게 아니였나 합니다. 외모로 봐서는 배우 등을 해도 되지 않았을까 합니다. 어떻게 보면 영국을 대표하는 배우인 Jude Law와 좀 비슷하지 않나 하고요.

하긴 이 band 말고도 노래 한 두 곡만 하고 영원히 사라진 사람들이 한 둘이 아니죠. Bush를 그렇게 부를 것은 아니겠지만 'one-hit wonder' 라고 거의 전문 용어처럼 들리는 말도 있으니까요.
