ここ数年で一番気に入っている歌がこの曲だ。Viva La Vida - Coldplay Official Promo (このYouTubeは、貼れない様になっている)
歌詞もいけてると思う。
I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own
I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing:
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
Once you go there was never
Never an honest word
And that was when I ruled the world
It was the wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in.
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People couldn't believe what I'd become
Revolutionaries wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh who would ever want to be king?
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
(ruled the world で意味も無く、Tears & Fears の "Everybody wants to rule the world" を思い出した。こっちもイギリスのバンド、25年も前の曲だ。ボーカルのピンクのポロシャツ、この髪型でのポニーテールに注目、シブい。)
曲の感じからクラシックで楽しめると思っていたら、やっぱり。
聞いてみて下さい。
プレビューではキチンと貼れているのですが、なぜか、ブログ上では変な事になる。(Lilacさんに大感謝、貼れる様になりました。)
このバイオリンのお兄ちゃん、Eric Wuest って言う名前らしいだが、いろんなカバーをやっている。売り出しているCDには入ってないようだが、↓も↑に劣らず良かった。
昨晩、家族が寝静まった後で、健康保険改革法案の行方をすっとテレビで追っていて、失望感もあって疲れた。自分でも恥ずかしい位、手抜きなエントリーでした。やはり疲れた時は、管では無く弦かなー。
