[펌] The Smashing Pumpkins - 1979

거짓말 안하고 만번도 더 들은 음악

들으면 들을수록 더 깊이 빠져드는 음악

내가 1979년생이었으면.. 하는 생각을 들게하는 음악

 

리뷰에 나오듯이 나도 한 때 X 세대였기 때문일까.

이 음악의 가사와 뮤비는 여전히 나에게 잔잔한 감동을 준다.

(용량문제로 뮤비를 올릴 수 없는 것이 안타깝군..)

 

shakedown 1979, cool kids never have the time
on a live wire right up off the street
you and i should meet
junebug skipping like a stone
with the headlights pointed at the dawn
we were sure we'd never see an end to it all
and i don't even care to shake these zipper blues
and we don't know
just where our bones will rest
to dust i guess
forgotten and absorbed into the earth below

 

double cross the vacant and the bored
they're not sure just what we have in the store
morphine city slippin dues down to see
that we don't even care as restless as we are
we feel the pull in the land of a thousand guilts
and poured cement, lamented and assured
to the lights and towns below
faster than the speed of sound
faster than we thought we'd go, beneath the sound of hope

 

justine never knew the rules,
hung down with the freaks and the ghouls
no apologies ever need be made, i know you better than you fake it
to see that we don't care to shake these zipper blues
and we don't know just where our bones will rest
to dust i guess
forgotten and absorbed into the earth below

 

the street heats the urgency of sound
as you can see there's no one around

 

 

AMG REVIEW - Amy Hanson:

Light, bright and just slightly off-kilter, 1979 was a somewhat surprising hit for the Smashing Pumpkins in February 1996. With James Iha guitars conjuring up just a hint of down-tuned drone a la My Bloody Valentine, and Corgan winding a clear vocal through a mid-tempo melody with nary a shout or wrenching outburst in sight, the song was the perfect winter wonder. Disaster was lurking around the edges though, as a key portion of the accompanying video was lost when a production crew associate left the only copy on top of his car like the proverbial cup of coffee, or wallet, or important files, and drove away, effectively driving the images into nowhere. Never recovered, a frustrated band managed to recreate the moment, and duly dispatched it to MTV, where it became a heavy hitter. Although this wobble would become one of the earliest in a string of disasters that would eventually unhinge the band, before hindsight shook out its mane, the beauty and tenderness of 1979 with the pure poetry in lyrics like you and I should meet, junebug skipping like a stone?did more to erase the angst and anger of a generation of X-ers with its nostalgia tripping than just about anything else.

 

( 머 간단하게 말하자면 제임스 이하의 기타와 빌리 코건의 보컬이

만들어낸 이 음악. 첨에 찍은 뮤비가 사고로 인해 못쓰게되서

다시 찍었는데 그게 엄청난 성공을 가져왔다는.. 이 음악의 시적인 가사는

당시 X 세대의 심정을 대변한다.. 머 그런 내용.. 자세한 건 직접 해석 -_ -,,

그리고 가사는 지식인에서 찾으면 해석한 거 나옴)
