Suzanne Vega / 'Retrospective Best Of' 中 6곡

차분하고 지적인 포크 싱어 송라이터, Suzanne Vega 1960년 7월 11일 캘리포니아 산타 모니카(Santa Monica)에서 출생한 수잔 베가(Suzanne Vega)는 2살에 뉴욕(New York City)으로 이사해 그곳에서 자랐다. 고교 시절 연극, 연기, 음악 교육을 받아 재능을 양성했고, 바나드 대학(Barnard College)에 진학, 학업과 병행해 예술가들이 많이 사는그리니치 빌리지(Greenwich Village)의포크(folk) 클럽에서 영역을 넓혀갔고 송라이터들을 주로 다루는 잡지 <쿱(The CooP)>를 통해 수 차례 소개되어 주목받게 되었다. 1984년 A&M과 계약한 그녀는 이듬 해 데뷔 앨범 [Suzanne Vega]를 발표, 평론가들에게 극찬을 받으며 성공으로 데뷔,1987년 발표된 2집 앨범 [Solitude Standing]은 그녀를 전 세계적으로 알린 대 히트 곡 'Luka'를 담고 있었다. 아동 학대를 다룬 이 곡은 그 가사에 있어서도 큰 화제를 낳았고, 골드 디스크로 인증받는다. 창작 활동에만 전념하던 그녀는 그로부터 3년 후인 1990년 3집 앨범 [Days Of Open Hand]를 발표했지만 지나치게 음악성에만 치중한 나머지 대중적으로는 큰 반응을 얻어내기 힘든 정도였다. 하지만 몇 달 뒤 영국 출신의 클럽 DJ들인 D.N.A.가 그녀의 전작 앨범에 수록되어 있던 아 카펠라 곡 'Tom's Diner'를 편곡해 히트시키면서 그녀는 새삼 주목받게 되었다. 1992년의 [99.9?F] 앨범은 그녀가 클럽 테크노 비트에 큰 관심을 가지게 되었음을 미뤄 짐작케 하는 획기적인 변신과 실험 정신에 투철한 작품집이었다. 1996년 5집 앨범 [Nine Objects Of Desire]가 발매되었고 그 후로 베스트 앨범 및 라이브 앨범이 더러 출시되었다. 평소 대중적 히트나 명성에는 별 연연하지 않는 모습이고 앨범 작업도 천천히 그리고 충실하게 진행하는 편이지만 지금도 그녀는 어디에선가 작업 중일 것이다. - 오이뮤직 -               Retrospective Best Of [Best of] April 15 2003     전곡이어듣기   x-text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" autostart="false" showpositioncontrols="0" EnableContextMenu="" loop="true" volume="0" showstatusbar="" allowNetworking="internal" x-x-allowscriptaccess="never" invokeURLS="false" x-x-allowscriptaccess="never">  04.

Caramel   It won't do To dream of caramel, To think of cinnamon And long for you. It won't do To stir a deep desire, To fan a hidden fire That can never burn true.   I know your name, I know your skin, I know the way These things begin; But I don't know How I would live with myself, What I'd forgive of myself If you don't go.   So goodbye, Sweet appetite No single bite could satisfy... I know your name, I know your skin, I know the way These things begin;   But I don't know How I would live with myself, What I'd forgive of myself If you don't go. It won't do To dream of caramel, To think of cinnamon And long for you.   소용없어요 카라멜 꿈을 꾸는 것도, 계피를 생각하는 것도, 그리고 그대를 그리워하는 것도. 소용없어요 깊은 욕망을 젓는 것도, 숨겨진 불꽃에 부채질을 하는 것도, 절대 진실하게 타오를 순 없어요.   당신의 이름을 알아요 당신의 살결을 알아요 이런 것들이 어떻게 시작되는지 난 알아요 하지만 난 몰라요 만일 당신이 가지 않는다면 내 자신 어떻게 살아가게 될지 내 자신 어떻게 살아가게 될지   그러니 잘가요 달콤한 입맛이여 단 한 입으로 만족하지 못하겟죠 당신의 이름을 알아요 당신의 살결을 알아요 이런 것들이 어떻게 시작되는지 난 알아요   하지만 난 몰라요 당신이 가지 않는다면 내 자신 무엇을 주게 될지 내 자신 어떻게 살아가게 될지 소용없어요 카라멜 꿈을 꾸는 것도, 계피를 생각하는 것도, 그리고 그대를 그리워하는 것도..             x-text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" autostart="false" x-x-allowscriptaccess="never" invokeURLS="false" showpositioncontrols="0" EnableContextMenu="" loop="true" volume="0" showstatusbar="" allowNetworking="internal" x-x-allowscriptaccess="never">  10.

Gypsy   You come from far away With pictures in your eyes Of coffeeshops and morning streets In the blue and silent sunrise But night is the cathedral Where we recognized the sign We strangers know each other now As part of the whole design Oh, hold me like a baby That will not fall asleep Curl me up inside you And let me hear you through the heat You are the jester of this courtyard With a smile like a girl's Distracted by the women With the dimples and the curls By the pretty and the mischievous By the timid and the blessed By the blowing skirts of ladies Who promise to gather you to their breast Oh, hold me like a baby...   You have hands of raining water And that earring in your ear The wisdom on your face Denies the number of your years With the fingers of the potter And the laughing tale of the fool The arranger of disorder With your strange and simple rules Yes now I've met me another spinner Of strange and gauzy threads With a long and slender body And a bump upon the head Oh, hold me like a baby... With a long and slender body And the sweetest softest hands And we'll blow away forever soon And go on to different lands And please do not ever look for me But with me you will stay And you will hear yourself in song Blowing by one day Oh, hold me like a baby             x-text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" autostart="false" x-x-allowscriptaccess="never" invokeURLS="false" showpositioncontrols="0" EnableContextMenu="" loop="true" volume="0" showstatusbar="" allowNetworking="internal" x-x-allowscriptaccess="never">  18.

I wait to here. The mother, and the matador, the mystic,all were here before, like meto stare you down. You appear without a face, disappear,but leave yourface, I feel your unseen frown.   Now what would you have me do, I ask you please? I wait to hear your voice, the world, you say. I wait to see your sign would I obey? I look for you in healthered moor, the desert, and the ocean floor how low does one heart go. Looking for your fingerprints I find them in coincidence, and make my faith to grow. Forgive me all my blindnesses my weakness and unkindnesss as yet unbending still.

Rosemary   Do you rember how you walkled with me down the street into the square? How the women selling rosemary pressed luck and the rest, and put their fingers in your hair?   I had met you just the day before, like an accident of fate, in the window there behind you door. How I wanted to break in to the room beneath your skin, but all that would have to wait.   In the carmen df the Martyrs, with the statues in the courtyard whose heads and hands were taken, in the burden of the sun; I had come to meet you with a question in my footsteps. I was going up the hillside and the journey just begun.   My sister says she never dreams at night there are days when I know why; those possibilities withen her sight, with no way of coming true. Some things just don't get through into this world, although they try.   In the carmen df the Martyrs, with the statues in the courtyard whose heads and hands were taken, in the burden of the sun; I had come to meet you with a question in my footsteps.
