Ben Folds Five - Still Fighting It

Alternative Piano Rock!
그 이름만으로도 매력적인 Ben Folds의 새앨범

(Ben Folds - Rockin' The Suburbs )

밴드 시절 때보다 다소 소박한 스케일의 곡들을 보여주기는 하지만

촌철살인(寸鐵殺人)의 가사는 여전한데, 첫 트랙인 ‘Annie Waits'는

피아노와 첼로의 멜로디 라인이 돋보이며, 역동적인 피아노 연주와

가성을 쓰기도 하는 벤 폴즈의 보컬이 한껏 흥겨움을 더해주는

’Zak And Sara'는 마치 빌리 조엘을 연상시키기도 한다.

* Ben Folds Five - Still Fighting It *

Good morning, son.
I am a bird
Wearing a brown polyester shirt
You want a coke?
Maybe some fries?
The roast beef combo’s only $9.95
It’s okay, you don’t have to pay
I’ve got all the change

Everybody knows
It hurts to grow up
And everybody does
It’s so weird to be back here
Let me tell you what
The years go on and
We’re still fighting it, we’re still fighting it
And you’re so much like me
I’m sorry

Good morning, son
In twenty years from now
Maybe we’ll both sit down and have a few beers
And I can tell you ‘bout today
And how I picked you up and everything changed
It was pain
Sunny days and rain
I knew you’d feel the same things

Everybody knows
It sucks to grow up
And everybody does
It’s so weird to be back here.
Let me tell you what
The years go on and
We’re still fighting it, we’re still fighting it
You’ll try and try and one day you’ll fly
Away from me

Good morning, son
I am a bird

It was pain
Sunny days and rain
I knew you’d feel the same things

Everybody knows
It hurts to grow up
And everybody does
It’s so weird to be back here.
Let me tell you what
The years go on and
We’re still fighting it, we’re still fighting it
Oh, we’re still fighting it, we’re still fighting it

And you’re so much like me
I’m sorry
