Angel - Sarah McLachlan
Spend all your time waiting
For that second chance
For the break that would make it okay
There's always some reason
To feel not good enough
And it's hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction
Oh beautiful release
Memories seep from my veins
Let me be empty
Oh, and weightless and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight
In the arms of the angel
Fly away from here
From this dark cold hotel room,
And the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage
Of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort here
So tired of the straight line,
And everywhere you turn
There's vultures and thieves at your back
And the storm keeps on twisting,
You keep on building the lies
That you make up for all that you lack
It don't make no difference
Escaping one last time
It's easier to believe
In this sweet madness,
Oh this glorious sadness
That brings me to my knees
In the arms of the angel
Fly away from here
From this dark, cold hotel room,
And the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage
Of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort here
In the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort here
헝가리 근무 시절 보게된 비긴 어게인 헝가리편.
그 중에서도 가장 나의 마음속에 깊이 남은 명곡중의 명곡.
최근 딸의 영어 공부를 위해 팝송 가사를 외우게 하고 있는데,
가사를 하나하나 음미하면서 외워도 좋을만한 팝송인 것 같다.
한 편의 시를 읽은 듯한 느낌.
원곡인 Sarah McLachlan이 부른 곡도 물론 좋지만 덤덤한 편이라면
박정현은 감정을 휘몰아치게 만드는 느낌이다.
