Get Some Sleep / Bic Runga

 

  

 

From here to there to everywhere
And back to Union Square
Where do I get some sleep?
Anywhere the sleep dust lies
It decorates your eyes
Where do I get some sleep?

Stranded in June
Whistling the same old tune
But I do believe I might be having fun
I believe I might be having fun
Impeccably dressed in your second hand vest
We were waiting for the taxi to come

Putting on my daytime eyes
A good enough disguise
Until I get some sleep
Reading out the horoscopes
And using up our jokes
When do we get to sleep?

Stand on the moon
Find the light of my living room
Yes I do believe I might be having fun
I believe I might be having fun
Tune into the station
Make a dedication
This is going out to everyone

This is going out to everyone
This is going out to everyone
Something in the phrasing was quietly amazing
We were waiting for the chorus to come
This is going out to everyone
This is going out to everyone

From here to there to everywhere
And back to union square
Where do I get some sleep?
Anywhere the sleep dust lies
It decorates your eyes
When do I get some sleep?

Stranded in June
Whistling the same old tune
Yes I do believe I might be having fun
I believe I might be having fun
Tune into the station
Make a dedication
This is going out to everyone
This is going out to everyone
This is going out to everyone
This is going out to everyone
Going out to everyone
This is going out to everyone

 

 

 

2004년 5월 12일 2집 수록곡

 

화려한 테크닉을 자랑하는 연주와 아주 복잡한 사운드의 음악에 감탄할 때도 있지만,

 

심플한 구성과 소박한 목소리로 이루어진 음악이 좋아지는 때가 있다.

 

 여지없이 꽉 찬 사운드가 아니라서 쉽게 질리지 않고

 

들을 때마다 여백이 새롭게 채워지는 그런 음악.
이 앨범의 주인공 빅 룽아 역시 그런 음악을 들려준다.

 

화려하지 않은 만큼 더 찾아 듣게 되는 소박하고 진실한 음악.

 

 <Get Some Sleep>은 2년간의 투어에서

 

영감을 받아 만든 곡이라고 하는데, 스트링 연주가 돋보인다.
