Christina Perri
A Thousand Years
Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave
How can I love when I’m afraid to fall
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow
One step closer
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don’t be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I love you for a thousand more
Time stands still
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything take away
What’s standing in front of me
Every breath
Every hour has come to this
One step closer
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don’t be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I love you for a thousand more
All along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I love you for a thousand more
One step closer
One step closer
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don’t be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I love you for a thousand more
And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I love you for a thousand more
살다 보면 세상 모든 것을 사랑하고 싶은 순간이 있는데
그저께가 그런 날이었다, 그리고
그때 마침 이 곡이 들렸지.
세 시간 산책 내내 들었다.
집에 와서 검색해 보니 브레이킹 던에 나왔던 노래라면서.
주변의 열광에도 불구하고 지극히 소녀적 취향, 이라 생각하여 보지 않았었는데
음악이 좋네.
멜로디도 괜찮지만 가사가 참 좋다.
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
이런 말을 듣게 되는 사랑
이런 말을 하게 되는 사랑
모두 다 지워버렸다고 생각했는데.
가수 이름을 보지 않은 채 제목만 보고서 Azure Ray의 곡인가? 했다.
설마... 오래된 듀오이기도 하거니와, 활발히 활동하던 당시에도 메이저와는 거리가 먼 뮤지션이었던 것을.
Azure Ray의 감성적인, 감성적이면서도 사색적인 곡과는 많이 다른 스타일의 가사지만
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
다른 부분 죄다 없애고 이 부분의 가사 만으로도 충분히
세 시간 내내 리플레이해서 들을 가치가 있었다.
Azure Ray
A Thousand Years
I'm saving all I'm not giving
But it's overflowing, evaporating in the air
As I'm walking, I know I'm not breathing, I'm not breathing only air
'Cause it's filled with words once spoken by people everywhere
And I can hear all the whispers that have lived a thousand years
It just took me being open for them to reach my eager ears
Now they've reached my eager ears
And I hope I'll be ready
When my light, when my life divides
이것이 Azure Ray 의 A Thousand Years.
이 가사는 너무나 절실하게 와닿아서는.
요즘따라 더욱 부쩍 산책할 때마다 드는 생각.
