Sarah Mclachlan / River

 

조니 미첼!

미국의 대표적인 음유 시인이며 음악가

레오날드 코헨과 같은 음유시인의 대표주자로서

미국의1970년대의

음유시의 대중화를 이끌기도 한다.

리버는 앨범 타이틀이기도 하다 

 앨범타이틀의 "Blue" 라는 곡도 무척 좋다.

여울과견지 창립자인

이재일님의 사진 중에서

동강의 가을 사진이 무척 아름답다.

조니 미첼의 음원을 찾을수 없어

사라 맥클레인의 노래로 들어 본다

 

많은 원판 레코드가 있었는데

군대 다녀온후에 보니

그많던 레코드가 다 어디로 갔는지???

지금도 안타깝다.

 

  

                                                                                                       

                                                                                                            

                                                

                                  

River

It's coming on Christmas
They're cutting down trees
They're putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
But it don't snow here
It stays pretty green
I'm going to make a lot of money
Then I'm going to quit this crazy scene
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I wish I had a river so long
I would teach my feet to fly
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I made my baby cry

He tried hard to help me
You know, he put me at ease
And he loved me so naughty
Made me weak in the knees
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I'm so hard to handle
I'm selfish and I'm sad
Now I've gone and lost the best baby
That I ever had
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I wish I had a river so long
I would teach my feet to fly
Oh I wish I had a river
I made my baby say goodbye

It's coming on Christmas
They're cutting down trees
They're putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
