1996년 늦가을 대한민국을 통째로 핑크빛으로 물들인 사랑의 노래 I.O.U. 그 주인공 CARRY & RON의 베스트 앨범.지금도 한국인이 애청하는 팝 베스트 100선에 고정적으로 선정되는 그들의 대표곡 I.O.U.가 1996년 가을 드라마 “애인”의 주제곡으로 사용되며 우리 나라에 처음 소개된 듀오 밴드 CARRY & RON은 아마도 우리나라에서 가장 성공한 독일 뮤지션 중 하나로 손꼽힐 것이다. 그런데 영화나 드라마의 주제곡 혹은 배경음악으로 성공한 음악의 뮤지션이 대체로 그러하듯이, 보다 더 작품성이 있고 더 아름다운 메시지를 담고 있는 다른 음악이 존재함에도 불구하고 CARRY & RON의 다른 앨범들과 음악들 역시 I.O.U.라는 히트곡에 가려져 큰 관심을 이끌지 못한다. 사람도 수년을 알고 지내봐야 그의 됨됨이를 제대로 알 수 있듯이, 음악도 여러 해 지나고 다시 접했을 때 그 진가를 알게 되기도 한다. 단순한 사랑 노래 정도로만 알고 있었던 CARRY & RON의 음악은 형식면에서 록, 포크, 컨트리, 블루스 등 여러 장르를 넘나들며 각각의 음악의 맛이 있는데, 특히 내용면에서는 연인에게 그리고 가족으로 사람이 어떻게 사랑하면 살아가야 하는가를 잔잔하고 진솔하게 노래하고 있다. 항상 돋보이는 가창력의 캐리의 허스키 보이스를 통해 그 메시지는 힘있게 전달된다. 기존 발표된 5종의 앨범에서 선곡되었는데 THE ROSE, BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATER, OH HAPPY DAY 등의 친숙한 팝 넘버들도 수록되어 있어 그 완성도를 높인다. .... ....
You believe that I've changed your life forever And you're never gonna find another somebody like me And you wish you had more than just a life time To give back all I've given you and that's you believe But I owe you the sunlight in the morning And the nights of all this loving that time can't take away I owe you more than life now more than ever I know that it's the sweetest debt I'll ever have to pay
I'm amazed when you say it's me you live for You know that when I'm holding you you're right where you belong And my love I can't help but smile with wonder When you tell me all I've done for you Cause I've known all along But I owe you the sunlight in the morning And the nights of all this loving that time can't take away And I owe you more than life now more than ever I know the it's the sweetest debt I'll ever have to pay Cause I owe you the sunlight in the morning And the nights of all this loving that time can't take away I owe you more than life now more than ever I know that it's the sweetest debt I'll ever have to pay
Sometimes, in our lives We all have pain, we all have sorrow But, if we are wise We know that there's always tomorrow
*Lean on me, when you're not strong And I'll be your friend, I'll help you carry on For, it won't be long Til I'm gonna need somebody to lean on
Please swallow your pride If I have things you need to borrow For no one can fill Those of your needs that you won't let show
**You just call on me brother when you need a hand We all need somebody to lean on I just might have a problem that you'll understand We all need somebody to lean on
*Repeat
**Repeat
If there is a load You have to bear, that you can't carry I'm right up the road I'll share your load if you just call me Call me if you need a friend Call me just call me Call me if you need me Call me just call me
Some say love it is a river that drowns the tender reed Some say love it is a razer that leaves your soul to blead Some say love it is a hunger an endless aching need I say love it is a flower and you it's only seed
It's the heart afraid of breaking that never learns to dance It's the dream afraid of waking that never takes the chance It's the one who won't be taken who cannot seem to give and the soul afraid of dyingthat never learns to live
When the night has been too lonely and the road has been too lon and you think that love is only for the lucky and the strong Just remember in the winterfar beneath the bitter snows
lies the seed that with the sun's love in the spring becomes the rose
Oh! Happy day, (Oh! Happy day) Oh! Happy day (Oh! Happy day) When Jesus washed (When Jesus washed) Oh when He washed (When Jesus washed) When Jesus washed (When Jesus washed) He washed the sins away (Oh Happy day) Oh! Happy day (Oh Happy day) Oh! Happy day He taught me How to watch fight and pray, fight and pray and live Rejoicing every day every day
