항상 다르다고 생각합니다 - Regina Spektor

말이든 글이든 앞뒤의 문맥을 잘 들어야 맞네 틀리네 등을 얘기할 수 있기는 합니다. 흔히 듣는 말중에 '사람들이 다 똑같지', '한국사람들이 다 그렇지' 하는 얘기를 들을 때마다 저는 안 그렇다고 저 혼자 생각하곤 합니다. 저는 항상 사람들은 다르다고 보죠. 이렇게 생각하는 사람 저렇게 보는 사람, 이런 면을 좋아 하는 사람 또는 싫어하는 사람 등 때마다 경우마다 다른 경우가 너무 흔하다고 생각합니다. 음악도 그런 면에서 개성 있는 음악을 좋아합니다. 재밌다고 할 수는 없을 지는 몰라도 나름 대로 특이하고 기억 나는 영화인 '500 days of Summer'를 통해서 알게 된 가수인데. 제 Music player에서 나올 때 마다 volume을 높이게 됩니다. 좀 다르고 그래서 좋습니다.

영화에 나왔던 'Us'라는 노래입니다.

They made a statue of us
And it put it on a mountain top
Now tourists come and stare at us
Blow bubbles with their gum
Take photographs have fun, have fun

They'll name a city after us
And later say it's all our fault
Then they'll give us a talking to
Then they'll give us a talking to
Because they've got years of experience
We're living in a den of thieves
Rummaging for answers in the pages
We're living in a den of thieves
And it's contagious

We wear our scarves just like a noose
But not 'cause we want eternal sleep
And though our parts are slightly used
New ones are slave labor you can keep

We're living in a den of thieves
Rummaging for answers in the pages
We're living in a den of thieves
And it's contagious

They made a statue of us
They made a statue of us
The tourists come and stare at us
The sculptor's marble sends regards
They made a statue of us
They made a statue of us
Our noses have begun to rust
We're living in a den of thieves
Rummaging for answers in the pages
Were living in a den of thieves

And it's contagious

좀 조용한 분위기의 'Samson'이라는 노래입니다.

이 노래도 재밌다고 생각합니다. 'On the Radio"라는 노래입니다.

This is how it works
It feels a little worse
Than when we drove our hearse
Right through that screaming crowd

While laughing up a storm
Until we were just bone
Until it got so warm
That none of us could sleep

And all the Styrofoam
Began to melt away
We tried to find some words
To aid in the decay

But none of them were home
Inside their catacomb
A million ancient bees
Began to sting our knees

While we were on our knees
Praying that disease
Would leave the ones we love
And never come again

On the radio
We heard, 'November Rain'
That solo's really long
But it's a pretty song
We listened to it twice
'Case the DJ was asleep

This is how it works
You're young until you're not
You love until you don't
You try until you can't

You laugh until you cry
You cry until you laugh
And everyone must breathe
Until their dying breath

No, this is how it works
You peer inside yourself
You take the things you like
And try to love the things you took

And then you take that love you made
And stick it into some
Someone else's heart
Pumping someone else's blood

And walking arm in arm
You hope it don't get harmed
But even if it does
You'll just do it all again

And on the radio
You hear, 'November Rain'
That solo's awful long
But it's a good refrain
You listen to it twice
'Cause the DJ is asleep

On the radio,

금요일에 술 마시고 늦게 들어왔는데요. 아침에 쿵하는 천둥 소리가 있었는데 저는 서울에 폭탄 떨어진 줄 알고 자다가 깜짝 놀라 일어났습니다. 아직 'November Rain'라고 부를 수 있는 거죠?
