이 앨범은 매우 독특한 편집앨범으로 '먼 기억'의 곡들에 대한 사랑과 '테마'를 담고 있는 앨범이다. 우선 국내의 최 정상급 하드락 그룹인 블랙신드롬과 뛰어난 가창력과 다양한 음악성이 돋보이는 락 그룹, 모비딕이 팝 음악의 편집앨범에 참여하고 있으며, 이 앨범을 통해 자신들의 싱글을 소개하여 차기 앨범을 팬들에게 선보이는 형태를 취하고 있다. 그래서 앨범 '노스탤지아'는 이미 발매 전부터 많은 찬사와 부러움을 받은 성공적인 앨범이다. 또한 이번 싱글 제작은 처음부터 '세계로의 진출'을 도모하려는 데에 있었고, 제작이 진행되는 동안 앨범의 향방이 여러차례 수정되는 '선진형 음반 제작'의 아픔도 겪으며 두 계절을 소비했다. 이렇게 '모난' 곡들이 완성되는 동안 스물 세곡의 팝 수록곡이 정해졌다. 2장의 앨범에 총 25곡을 담고 있는 '노스탤지아'는 100% 팝 음악으로 구성되었지만, 매우 한국적인 정서를 지니고 있는 앨범이다. 블랙신드롬의 'She's Gone'으로 거친 남자의 고독이 빗속에서 절규하며 시작되어 한 앨범의 테마가 끝나면 모니딕의 'The Rose'가 향수처럼 퍼지며 앨범 전체에 흐르며 우아하고 아련한 볼레로로 이 앨범의 아름다움을 빛내주며 함께 수록된 팝의 명곡들은 희미한 기억에로의 여행과 찬란한 커피 한 잔의 넉넉함을 선사한다. "...아! 이 노래... 어디였던가..." 마치 꿈속의 영화 구경 처럼... 이 앨범은 그래서 노래보다는 영화이기가 쉽다. 이 '음악 영화'는 '먼 기억속, 바람결로도 느낄 수 있는' 가슴 벅찬 고독이 담겨 있다. 기억이 바람되고, 그리움이 한 편 영화처럼 느껴질 수 있는 추억 속의 멜로디 모음집인 것이다.
I've been gone a long long time - waiting for you I din't want to see you go, oh, no, no And now it's hurting so much, what can I do? I wanted you to be my wife
The days are passing slowly, since you've gone Your memories are all I have, yes I have I sit here waiting but you'll never show Without you I can't carry on, ooh my baby
You said you'd always love me, all of my life And then you said your last goodbye, yeah, goodbye Why the sudden change, why all the lies? I should have seen it in your eyes
The endless hours of heartache, waiting for you My summer love has turned to rain, all the pain The silent emptiness of one sided love My life means nothing now you're gone, ooh my baby
When the sun beats down And burns the tar up on the roof And your shoes get so hot You wish your tired feet were fireproof
Under the boardwalk Down by the sea On a blanket with my baby Is where I'll be
(Under the boardwalk) Out of the sun (Under the boardwalk) We'll be having some fun (Under the boardwalk) People walking above (Under the boardwalk) We'll be making love (Under the boardwalk, boardwalk)
From the park you'll hear The happy sound of a carousel You can almost taste the hot dogs And French fries they sell
Under the boardwalk Down by the sea, yeah On a blanket with my baby Is where I'll be
(Under the boardwalk) Out of the sun (Under the boardwalk) We'll be having some fun (Under the boardwalk) People walking above (Under the boardwalk) We'll be making love (Under the boardwalk, boardwalk)
Oh, under the boardwalk Down by the sea On a blanket with my baby Is where I'll be
(Under the boardwalk) Out of the sun (Under the boardwalk) We'll be having some fun (Under the boardwalk) People walking above (Under the boardwalk) We'll be falling in love (Under the boardwalk, boardwalk)
Hoverin' by my suitcase, tryin' to find a warm place to spend the night Heavy rain fallin', seems I hear your voice callin' "It's all right" A rainy night in Georgia, a rainy night in Georgia It seems like it's rainin' all over the world I feel like it's rainin' all over the world
Neon signs a-flashin', taxi cabs and buses passin' through the night A distant moanin' of a train seems to play a sad refrain to the night A rainy night in Georgia, such a rainy night in Georgia Lord, I believe it's rainin' all over the world I feel like it's rainin' all over the world
How many times I wondered It still comes out the same No matter how you look at it or think of it It's life and you just got to play the game
I find me a place in a box car, so I take my guitar to pass some time Late at night when it's hard to rest I hold your picture to my chest and I feel fine But it's a rainy night in Georgia, baby, it's a rainy night in Georgia I feel it's rainin' all over the world, kinda lonely now And it's rainin' all over the world
Oh, have you ever been lonely, people? And you feel that it was rainin' all over this man's world You're talking 'bout rainin', rainin', rainin', rainin', rainin', rainin', rainin', rainin', rainin', rainin', rainin', rainin'...
Well Today I'm so weary Today I'm so blue Sad and broken hearted And it's all because of you Life was so sweet dear Life was a song Now you're gonna and left me Oh where do I belong
*And it's all for the love of a dear little girl All for the love that sets your heart in a world I'm a man who'd give his life and the joys of this world All for the love of a girl
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses? You been out ridin' fences for so long now. Oh, you're a hard one, but I know that you've got your reasons. These things that are pleasin' you can hurt you somehow.
Don't you draw the queen of diamonds, boy! She'll beat you, if she's able. You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet. Now it seems to me some fine things have been laid upon your table, but you only want the ones that you can't get.
Desperado, ah, you ain't gettin' no younger. Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home. Freedom, oh, freedom. That's just some people talkin' You're a prisioner walking through this world all alone.
Don't your feet get cold in the wintertime? The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine. It's hard to tell the nighttime from the day. You're losin' all your highs and lows. Ain't it funny how the feeling goes away?
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses? Come down from your fences, open the gate. It may be rainin' , but there's a rainbow above you. You better let somebody love you (2x) before it's too late.
You packed in the morning, I stared out the window And I struggled for something to say You left in the rain without closing the door I didn't stand in your way.
But I miss you more than I missed you before And now where I'll find comfort, God knows 'Cause you left me just when I needed you most Left me just when I needed you most.
Now most every morning, I stare out the window And I think about where you might be I've written you letters that I'd like to send If you would just send one to me.
'Cause I need you more than I needed before And now where I'll find comfort, God knows 'Cause you left me just when I needed you most Left me just when I needed you most.
You packed in the morning, I stared out the window And I struggled for something to say You left in the rain without closing the door I didn't stand in your way.
Now I love you more than I loved you before And now where I'll find comfort, God knows 'Cause you left me just when I needed you most Oh yeah, you left me just when I needed you most You left me just when I needed you most.
Lonely days are gone, I'm a-goin' home, 'Cause my baby wrote me a letter. I don't care how much money I gotta spend, Got to get back to my baby, Lonely days are gone, I'm a-goin' home, 'Cause my baby wrote me a letter. Well, she wrote me a letter, Said she couldn't live without me no more. Listen, mister, can't you see I got to get back To my baby once more--anyway... Gimme a ticket for an aeroplane, I ain't got time to take a fast train. Lonely days are gone, I'm a-goin' home, 'Cause my baby wrote me a letter.
I took my troubles down to Madame Ruth You know that gypsy with the gold-capped tooth She's got a pad down on Thirty-Fourth and Vine Sellin' little bottles of Love Potion Number Nine I told her that I was a flop with chics I've been this way since 1956 She looked at my palm and she made a magic sign She said "What you need is Love Potion Number Nine" She bent down and turned around and gave me a wink She said "I'm gonna make it up right here in the sink" It smelled like turpentine, it looked like Indian ink I held my nose, I closed my eyes, I took a drink I didn't know if it was day or night I started kissin' everything in sight But when I kissed a cop down on Thirty-Fourth and Vine He broke my little bottle of Love Potion Number Nine I held my nose, I closed my eyes, I took a drink I didn't know if it was day or night I started kissin' everything in sight But when I kissed a cop down on Thirty-Fourth and Vine He broke my little bottle of Love Potion Number Nine Love Potion Number Nine Love Potion Number Nine Love Potion Number Nine
The past, past, well now let me tell you about the past The past is filled with silent joys and broken toys, laughing girls and teasing boys, Was I ever in love? I called it love- I mean, it felt like love, There were moments when, well, there were moments when
Present, Go out with you? Why not Do I like to dance? Of Course, Take a walk along the beach tonight? I'd love to, But don't try to touch me, don't try to touch me Cos that will never happen again, Shall we dance
The future, Tommorow? well tommorows a long way off Maybe someday I'll have somebody's hand Maybe somewhere someone will understand You know I used to sing- a tisket a tasket a green and yellow basket I'm all packed up and I'm on my way and I'm gonna fall in love, But at the moment it doesn't look good At the moment it will never happen again
I want to spend my life with a girl like you And do all the things that you want me to Till that time has come that we might live as one Can I dance with you?
I tell by the way you dress that you're so refind And by the way you talk that you're just my kind girl Girl,why should it be that you don't notice me? Can I dance with you?
Baby, baby, is there no chance I can take you for the last dance? All night long year I've been waiting Now there I'll be no hesitating
So before this dance has reached the end To you across the floor my love I'll send I just hope and pray that I'll find a way to say Can I dance with you?
Some say love, it is a river That drowns the tender reed Some say love, it is a razor That leaves your soul to bleed Some say love, it is a hunger, An endless aching need I say love, it is a flower, And you its only seed
It's the heart, afraid of breaking, That never learns to dance It's the dream, afraid of waking, That never takes a chance It's the one who won't be taken, Who cannot seem to give And the soul, afraid of dyin', That never learns to live
When the night has been too lonely, And the road has been too long And you think that love is only For the lucky and the strong Just remember in the winter Far beneath the bitter snows Lies the seed, that with the sun's love, In the spring becomes the rose
The changing of sunlight to moonlight Reflections of my life Oh, how they fill my eyes The greetings of people in trouble Reflections of my life Oh, how they fill my eyes
*All my sorrow, sad tomorrows Take me back to my own home All my crying, all my crying Feel I'm dying, dying Take me back to my own home
I'm changing, arranging I'm changing I'm changing everything Ah, everything around me The world is a bad place, a bad place A terrible place to live Oh, but I don't wanna die
I saw her sitting in the rain Raindrops falling on her She didn't seem to care She sat there and smiled at me Then I knew... I knew... I knew... I knew... I knew... She could make me happy... happy... Happy... She could make me very happy.. Flowers in her hair... flowers everywhere Everywhere...
I love the flower girl Oh I don't know just why; she simply caught my eye I love the flower girl She seemed so sweet and kind; she crept in to my mind To my mind... to my mind
I knew I had to say hello Hello... hello She smiled up at me And she took my hand and we walked through the park alone And I knew... I knew... I knew... I knew... I knew... She had made me happy... happy... Happy... She had made me very happy... Flowers in her hair... flowers everywhere Every here ...
I love the flower girl Oh I don't know just why; she simply caught my eye I love the flower girl She seemed so sweet and kind; she crept in to my mind To my mind ... to my mind
Suddenly, the sun broke through See the sun I turned around she was gone Where did she go? And all I had left was one little flower in my hand But I knew... I knew... I knew... I knew... I knew... She had made me happy... happy... happy... She had made me very happy.. Flowers in her hair... flowers everywhere Everywhere...
I love the flower girl Was she reality or just a dream to me? I love the flower girl Her love showed me the way to find a sunny day Sunny day... sunny day... sunny day I love the flower girl Was she reality or just a dream to me?
I don't know when I've been so blue Don't know what's come over you You've found someone new And don't it make my brown eyes blue
I'll be fine when you're gone I'll just cry all night long Say it isn't true And don't it make my brown eyes blue
*Tell me no secrets, tell me some lies Give me no reasons, give me alibis Tell me you love me and don't let me cry Say anything but don't say goodbye
I didn't mean to treat you bad Didn't know just what I had But honey now I do And don't it make my brown eyes Don't it make my brown eyes Don't it make my brown eyes blue
Faded photographs, covered now with lines and creases, tickets torn in half, memories in bits and pieces... Traces of love, long ago, that didn't work out right.. Traces of love.
Ribbons from her hair, souviners of days together. The ring she used to wear, pages from an old love letter. Traces of love, long ago, that didn't work out right, traces of love....with me, tonight.
I close my eyes...and say a prayer, That in her heart she'll find, A trace of love still there...somewhere, ohhh oh.
Traces of hope...in the night,that she'll come back and dry, these, traces of tears, from my eyes. Ohh oh oh ohhhh...
When I saw you standing there I about fell off my chair When you moved your mouth to speak I felt the blood go to my feet
Now it took time for me to know What you tried so not to show Something in my soul just cried I see the want in your blue eyes
*Baby, I'd love you to want me The way that I want you The way that it should be Baby, you'd love me to want you The way that I want to If you'd only let it be
You told yourself years ago You'd never let your feelings show The obligation that you made For the title that they gave
*Repeat
Now it took time for me to know What you tried so not to show Something in my soul just cried I see the want in your blue eyes
As I walk along, I wonder what went wrong, With our love, a love that was so strong. And as I still walk on, I think of the things we've done Together, a-while our hearts were young.
*I'm a-walkin' in the rain, Tears are fallin' and I feel the pain, Wishin' you were here by me, To end this misery And I wonder-- I wah-wah-wah-wah-wonder, Why, Why, why, why, why, why she ran away, Yes, and I wonder, A-where she will stay-ay, My little runaway, Run, run, run, run, runaway.
Dizzy I'm so dizzy, my head is spinnin' Like a whirlpool, it never ends And it's you, girl, makin' it spin You're makin' me dizzy
First time that I saw you, girl I knew that I just had to make you mine But it's so hard to talk to you With fellas hangin' round you all the time I want you for my sweet pet But you keep playin' hard to get I'm goin' around in circles all the time
Dizzy I'm so dizzy, my head is spinnin' Like a whirlpool, it never ends And it's you, girl, makin' it spin You're makin' me dizzy
I finally got to talk to you And I told you just exactly how I felt Then I held you close to me And kissed you and my heart began to melt Girl, you've got control of me 'Cause I'm so dizzy I can't see I need to call a doctor for some help
Dizzy I'm so dizzy, my head is spinnin' Like a whirlpool, it never ends And it's you, girl, makin' it spin You're makin' me dizzy My head is spinnin' Like a whirlpool, it never ends And it's you, girl, makin' it spin You're makin' me dizzy You're makin' me dizzy You make me so dizzy Yeah, I'm so dizzy
