20130730 Alanis Morissette - Ironic

 

2013년 7월 30일 오늘의 곡은 Alanis Morissette의 Ironic입니다. 앨라니스 모리셋은 캐나다의 싱어송라이터로 1991년 첫번째 앨범 Alanis로 데뷔합니다. 1995년에 발매한 세번째 앨범 jagged Little Pill이 전세계적인 히트를 기록하여 3천3백만장의 앨범 판매고를 기록합니다. 타이틀곡인 You Oughta Know 빌보드 6위, 3번째 곡인 이곡 Ironic은 빌보드 4위까지 올라갑니다. 네번째 싱글곡인 You Learn또한 빌보드 6위까지 오르며 한앨범에서 탑텐 곡이 세곡이 나오지요. 특히 You Oughta Know는 빌보드에서 선정한 90년대 빌보드차트 전체1위를 차지하기도 합니다. 이 곡 아이러닉은 차안에서 혼자 여러사람을 연기하는 앨라니스 모리셋과 전체적인 곡 분위기, 앨라니스의 힘있는 창법이 잘 어울리는 곡이지요. 앨라니스는 연기 경력도 많은데요. 가장 유명한 것은 섹스앤시티에서 사라제시카 파커랑 키스하는 Dawn 역할을 했던게 아닐까 하네요 ㅎ

An old man, turned 98
He won the lottery, and died the next day
It's a black fly in your chardonnay
It's a death row pardon, two minutes too late
And isn't it ironic?
Don't you think?

It's like rain, on your wedding day
It's a free ride, when you've already paid
It's the good advice, that you just didn't take
And who would've thought? It figures

Mr. Play-It-Safe, was afraid to fly
He packed his suitcase, and kissed his kids goodbye
He waited his whole damn life, to take that flight
And as the plane crashed down he thought, "Well isn't this nice?"
And isn't it ironic?
Don't you think?

It's like rain, on your wedding day
It's a free ride, when you've already paid
It's the good advice, that you just didn't take
And who would've thought? It figures

Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
When you think everything's okay and everything's going right
And life has a funny way of helping you out
When you think everything's gone wrong and everything blows up in your face

A traffic jam, when you're already late
A "No smoking" sign, on your cigarette break
It's like ten thousand spoons, when all you need is a knife
It's meeting the man of my dreams, and then meeting his beautiful wife
And isn't it ironic?
Don't you think?
A little too ironic?
Yeah I really do think

It's like rain, on your wedding day
It's a free ride, when you've already paid
It's the good advice, that you just didn't take
And who would've thought?
It figures

Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
And life has a funny, funny way, of helping you out
Helping you out
