하루 한 곡(20180227)

2018.02.27. 화요일 "하루 한 곡"

Song : Down By The River

Musician : Neil Young with Crazy Horse

Album : Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere(1969년)

Note : 요즘 "더 기타리스트"라는 책을 읽고 있다. 락 음악계의 주목할만한 기타리스트들을 소개하는 책인데, 오늘 마침 "닐 영" 부분을 읽고 이 곡을 다시 꺼내 들었다. 그런데...와...이 곡이 이렇게 멋있는 곡이었나? 닐 영의 혼란스러운 가운데 몽환적인 기타 솔로 연주가 정말로 환상적이다. 

"Down By The River"

Be on my side,

I'll be on your side,

baby

There is no reason

for you to hide

It's so hard for me

staying here all alone

When you could be

taking me for a ride.

Yeah, she could drag me

over the rainbow,

send me away

Down by the river

I shot my baby

Down by the river,

Dead, oh, shot her dead.

You take my hand,

I'll take your hand

Together we may get away

This much madness

is too much sorrow

It's impossible

to make it today.

Yeah, she could drag me

over the rainbow,

send me away

Down by the river

I shot my baby

Down by the river,

Dead, oh, shot her dead.

Be on my side,

I'll be on your side,

baby

There is no reason

for you to hide

It's so hard for me

staying here all alone

When you could be

taking me for a ride.

Yeah, she could drag me

over the rainbow,

send me away

Down by the river

I shot my baby

Down by the river,

Dead, oh, shot her dead.
