20130123 Culture Club - Victims

2013년 1월 23일 오늘의 추천곡은 요즘 제가 꽂힌 Culture Club 의 Victims 입니다. Culture Club은 Karma Chameleon으로 대박 히트를 친 80년대 영국가수인데요. 여자보다 예쁜 여장남자 Boy George가 그룹의 메인보컬로서 유명했죠. Culture Club은 Boy George의 비쥬얼적인 면이 음악성보다 부각된 면이 있는데요. 음악성또한 그에 못지 않습니다. 이 곡 Victims는 서정적인 피아노 선율과 Boy George의 중성틱한 목소리가 어우러지면서 아름다운 멜로디를 만들어 내고 있습니다. 눈물이 날 거 같은 노래네요. 즐감하세요!

컬처클럽 - 희생자들

The victims we know so well
They shine in your eyes
When they kiss and tell
Strange pieces we never see
But you're always there
Like a ghost in my dream
And I keep on telling you
Please don't do the things you do
When you do those things
Pull my puppet strings
I have that strangest void for you
We love and we never tell
What pieces our hearts in the wishing well
Love lead us into the stream
And it's sink or swim
Like it's always been
And I keep on loving you
It's the only thing to do
When the angel sings
There are greater things
Can I give them all to you
Pull the strings of emotion
Take a ride into unknown pleasure
Fell like a child
On a dark night
Wishing there was some kind of heaven
I could be warm with your smiling
Hold out your hand for a while
The victims
We know them so well
The victims we know so well
They shine in your eyes
When they kiss and tell
Strange places we never see
But you're always there
Like a ghost in my dream
And I keep on telling you
Please don't do the things you do
When you do those things
Pull my puppet strings
I have the strangest void for you
Show my heart some devotion
Push aside those that whisper never
Feel like a child on a dark night
Wishing we could spend it together
I could be warm with your smiling
Hold out your hand for a while
The victims
We know them so well
