97년 MMMBOP의 강력한 데뷔로부터 10년!훈훈한 청년이 되어 돌아온 핸슨의 새 앨범! [THE WALK]히트 싱글 “GO”와 세계 에이즈 데이에 맞춰 아이튠스에서 선행 판매된 자선곡 “GREAT DIVIDE” 외 세 곡의 라이브 보너스 트랙을 실은 초호화 스페셜 에디션!그들 역사상 가장 강력한 명작으로 회자될지도 모를 만큼 단단하고 간결한 앨범 THE WALK1997년 데뷔 곡 ‘MMMBOP’의 전세계적인 대히트와 함께 선명하고 강렬한 데뷔를 장식했던 오클라호마주 출신의 형제밴드 핸슨"HANSON". 이후 메이저 음반사를 떠나 독자적인 레이블 3CG RECORDS를 설립, 그 첫 신호탄이었던 3집 앨범「UNDERNEATH」 에 이어, 2007년 4집「THE WALK」를 정식 릴리즈한다. 이번 앨범은 음악이란 1차원적인 의미를 뛰어넘어 그들 스스로 음악인으로서의 철학적 사고와 행동에 대한 고찰을 그려냈다는 점에서 의미가 깊다. 어린 소녀들의 스타에서 성숙한 아티스트로 진화한 핸슨의 마법 같은 진지함이 묻어난「THE WALK」. 지난친 10년의 세월만큼이나 진하게 번지는 17개 트랙의 오롯한 팝 록은 강렬하면서도 사랑스럽다. .... ....
The earth is shaking under seige Every breath will meet its fate Still we hunger for our moment of freedom Even though the hour's late Oh, yeah
I find hope and it gives me rest I find hope in a beating chest I find hope in what eyes don't see I find hope in your hate for me Have no fear when waters rise We can conquer this great divide
This great divide
When every eye is on the fortune Well, it can only breed contempt They say blood is thicker than oceans Still we box our brothers in
Oh, yeah
I find hope and it gives me rest I find hope in a beating chest I find hope in what eyes don't see I find hope in your hate for me Have no fear when waters rise We can conquer this great divide
And we're gone And we're gone, yeah, yeah And we're holding on And we're holding on And we're holding on, woah
I find hope and it gives me rest I find hope in a beating chest I find hope in what eyes don't see I find hope in your hate for me Have no fear when, have no fear Have no fear, whoa Have no fear when waters rise We can conquer this great divide
There's a down town corner People down town know And a back-beat rhythm On the radio
And the girl who listens To a young mans song On the block I live on In the place I'm from
Well, the young man sitting On the dock of the bay He took a long-term trip on A first class plane Now the whole world listens To that one mans song On the block I live on In the place I'm from
Won't you tell me does it move you? Does it soothe you? Does it fill your heart and soul with the Roots of rock and roll? Does it move you? Does it soothe you? Does it fill your heart and soul with the Roots of rock and roll?
(Rock and roll) Ooo, nah (Rock and roll) (Rock and roll)
Well, the man in black sits On a screened in porch Making birthday wishes 71 almost You can hear him singing Chariot, swing low On the block I live on In the place I know
Won't you tell me does it move you? Does it soothe you? Does it fill your heart and soul with the Roots of rock and roll? Does it move you? Does it soothe you? Does it fill your heart and soul with the Roots of rock and roll?
(Rock and roll) (Rock and roll) (Rock and roll)
Won't you tell me does it move you? Does it soothe you? Does it fill your heart and soul with the Roots of rock and roll? Does it move you? Does it soothe you? Does it fill your heart and soul with the Roots of rock and roll?

For all the love we've made Just one thing stays the same The lamp gets dusty The pipes get rusty But I don't wanna wash my hands clean
Well you say you love me too Then why won't you go through With the nightly kisses With the hits and the misses Well if you can make it on your own
Then go if you wanna go But stay if you want to know the way Through the mess we've made Or lie in the bed you know or go
I heard your moving van But I didn't take a stand You can't leave with 'em You can't live without 'em I never thought I'd want to let you
Go if you wanna go But stay if you want to know the way Through the mess we've made And lie in the bed you know or go, go! Or go
For all the love we've made Just one thing stays the same The lamp gets dusty The pipes get rusty But I don't wanna wash my hands clean
(Then go if you wanna go) Well you say you love me too (But stay if you wanna know the way ) Then why won't you go through (Through the mess we've made) With the nightly kisses (Or lie in the bed you know or go) With the hits and the misses Well if you can make it on your own then go
we sit secure in time-honored traditions made never wondering where or when the sickle may come If we don't seek our knowledge to be greater men When the rain starts falling gonna drown before we get our feet wet
We build our ivory towers to protect us from the flood A fleet of vessels made of wood so they won't rust But can we see the bottom of the bottle when we start to drink? There's fire on the mountain fire and it's coming our way
Can we pick the pieces up We're mending Babylon
Tryin' to right the wrong Can we pick the pieces up
Live learn life love die dust gone
There's fire on the mountain
Can we pick the pieces up We're mending Babylon Tryin' to right the wrong Can we pick the pieces up
I sit here by myself Just staring into space I thought I knew you well Well who can ever say
It seems I've spent so long I can't define my right from wrong
One more for the night One more for the pain and One more, long goodbye And one shot to the brain And one more takes the knife And one more takes the train Who do I name today
A dream of better days Was long gone by the way Is there a better place Well who can ever say
It seems I've spent so long I can't define my right from wrong
One more for the night
One more for the pain and One more, long goodbye And one shot to the brain And one more takes the knife And one more takes the train Who do I name today Who do I blame today
Nothing's over 'til it's over And if it's over I don't Want to hear it Look into my eyes I told her Holding onto what is gone won't heal it
It seems I've spent so long I can't Define my right from wrong
One more for the night One more for the pain and One more, long goodbye And one shot to the brain And one more takes the knife And one more takes the train Who do I name today Who do I blame today
I'm blind with eyes wide open My body's tired and broken I want a taste of something, that doesn't leave me dry This hope for answered questions As rare as true conviction I stare into the distance, there is no truth in sight Who can tell me why
Everybody's looking for a blue sky Searching for an answer on a satellite I know that there's got to be a blue sky out there to see A blue sky waiting for me
I've seen the main attraction I've felt the moment's passion I won't be no soap box teacher, just taking your time Just taking your time Who can tell me why
Everybody's looking for a blue sky Searching for an answer on a satellite I know that there's got to be a blue sky out there to see A blue sky
Everywhere I go, it feels like I'm always searching for something 'Til I know for sure, I'll be right here waiting for something More, more, for something more, for something more
Everybody's looking for a blue sky Searching for an answer on a satellite I know that there's got to be a blue sky out there to see Somewhere there's a blue sky waiting Everybody's looking for a blue sky Searching for an answer on a satellite I know that there's got to be a blue sky waiting for me A blue sky
I am, taking a chance Walking with my laces loose Wrapped up, taking the maze That everybody's running through I'm sick of, black tie Nickel and dime We're going through the roof
I'm not a wise man But I see the haze And this is what I'm gonna do
Tearing it down Tearing it down Whoo, whoo
Tearing it down Tearing it down Whoo, whoo
There's a fine line You walk everyday 'Cause somebody told you to A white lie You can't erase Now you're gonna have to choose
You know a blind man Won't show the way But he can tell you What it's coming to
Tearing it down Tearing it down
Whoo, whoo Tearing it down Tearing it down Whoo, whoo Tearing it down
Ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni Ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni now Ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni Ni ni ni now Ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni Ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni now
I'm not a wise man But I see the haze And this is what I'm gonna do
Tearing it down Tearing it down Tearing it down Whoo, whoo Tearing it down Tearing it down Whoo, whoo Tearing it down Tearing it down Whoo, whoo Tearing it down Tearing it down Whoo, whoo Tearing it down Tearing it down Whoo, whoo
Are you falling asleep at the wheel Maybe there's a feeling, you've been brushing off Asking reason, what's left for me here Well he's all out of answers You're not out of luck
I've got this something That's been going round I've got this something You don't know it But you need it I've got this something That's been going round I've got this something You don't know it But you need it now
Are you hungry? Won't you come get your fill We could put this thing in motion If you'd stop acting tough Superstar you sit up high on your hill I know why you're running Only you know what you've lost
I've got this something That's been going round I've got this something You don't know it But you need it I've got this something That's been going round
I've got this something You don't know it But you need it now
When the sun goes down It's here waiting It is still right here for you now And when the sun comes out It's still waiting It is still right here for you now
I've got this something That's been going round I've got this something You don't know it But you need it
I've got this something I've got this something, yeah I've got this something You don't know it But you need it Yeah yeah, you don't know it Yeah, you don't know it But you need it I've got this something I've got this something, yeah You need this something now
You say you want to kill yourself It might make it just a little bit easier You think you're the only one who hurts Try looking just a little bit harder I don't know why you're holding on To the damage that's been done
'Cause you've got me wrapped up in your illusion I keep on trying to change your conclusion But you've got me wrapped up in your illusion I keep on dying 'cause you're busy wasting life
Don't disguise your emptiness By placing blame on me and everyone else Protected by your safety nets But you can't put the heart of your fears at rest All I feel is deep regret for what you have become
You've got me wrapped up in your illusion I keep on trying to clear the confusion But you've got me wrapped up in your illusion
I keep on dying 'cause you're busy wasting I keep on trying 'cause you're busy wasting life
You're busy wasting life You're busy wasting life
I cannot go on this way I bring no consolation for you and your pain No one else can change your fate You'll have to do it for yourself
You've got me wrapped up in your illusion I keep on trying to clear the confusion But you've got me wrapped up in your illusion I keep on dying 'cause you're busy wasting life
You're busy wasting life, You're busy wasting life, you've got me wrapped up You're busy wasting life, 'cause I keep on trying You're busy wasting life, you've got me wrapped up You're busy wasting life, and I keep on dying
Well deep in the woods, where nothing is seen A tightrope is strung to his heel And high on the walk he's down on one knee He waits for the slow of the breeze Oh, wow, look at him now, on his feet High up in the sky And every moment stands endlessly It feels as though time isn't moving And every second, one breath not to breathe I watch as he moves to the beat
While down on the floor, I watch from my seat And watch as he sways with the trees And slowly he moves, but so elegantly I'm more on the edge of my seat
On the tightrope, everything's bare All that there is is from here to there On the tightrope, the goal is quite clear Don't lose yourself in your fear, fear, whoa
Everyone waits on the walk Some are long and some small But all of them tall Everyone must make a choice Will I go for it all And possibly fall The tightrope is thin I could possibly win on the walk
Well high on the walk, the tightrope it bends And nobody knows where it ends To win or to lose, you're all on your own Cause everyone must be alone
On the tightrope, everything's bare All that there is is from here to there On the tightrope, the goal is quite clear Don't lose yourself in your fear Fear, whoa Fear, ooooh
핸슨의 07년 12월 출시된 The walk 앨범 수록곡.뮤지스탤지아 신보 소개 시간에 나왔는데핸슨 노래 안 들은지가 꽤 되서 이런 스타일로 변했는지 몰랐다.깔끔하고 시원하네. 한참 좋아했던 Weired라는 곡이나 함 찾아봐야겠다.그들만의 레이블을 만들어서 앨범을 냈다고 우리 디제이가 소개해주신 듯.역시나 소개된지 일주일 정...
