大好きなアーティストのひとり
― City and Colour * をとおして知ったばかりで
彼女のブログ― The Bee’s Kneesを読み進めているところ。
ことばになりません… * City and Colourについては、↓のポストをどうぞ
I believe the power of love and hope.
I really want to believe we can find love and hope
even in our darkest time.
Though there are sufferings and heartbreaks,
life is still so beautiful…
You need not to climb mountaintops,
You need not to cross the sea,
You need not to find a cure
for everything that makes you weak.
You need not to reach for the stars
when life becomes so dark,
And when the wind does blow against the grain,
You must follow your heart,
You must follow your heart.
When all your friends have come and gone,
And the sun no longer shines,
And the happiness for which you long
is washed away like an ocean’s tide,
When all the hard times outweigh the good,
And all your words are misunderstood,
When the day seems lost from the start
You must follow your heart,
You must follow your heart.
If you feel you’ve paid the price,
And your wounds should cease to heal
And everything you love in life
spins like a winding wheel.
If you should wake to find you’re abandoned,
And the road you’ve traveled leads to a dead-end
When death creeps in to play it’s part,
You must follow your heart,
You must follow your heart.
The Duke & The Kings * も、The Felice Brothersも
よく聴いているだけに、ホントびっくりしたんですが
現在のSimoneは、曲を書いたり、森を散歩したり Clearwater Festivalに参加したりと、順調に回復し
8月にはツアーに戻れそう、とのこと。
D&Kのニューアルバムも、予定どおり9月発表だそうです。
くれぐれも無理せずお大事に! * デビューアルバム― Nothing Gold Can Stayはすばらしい!!
The Felice Brothersよりフォーキーでポップ寄り。
ザラザラ感は薄れていますが、繊細なメロディと歌詞は、ほんとうに美しいです
So with a new chrome heart full of joy, melodies,
and renewed purpose,
I say: See you all down the highway,
where we’ll sing us a jailbird song, a rebel song,
a song to keep us warm.
♫ If You Ever Get Famous／The Duke & The King
Helpless originally by Neil Young
100年後も輝きを失わない名曲だと思います。大好き!
