줄리아 로버츠가 열연한 영화 [My Best Friends Wedding]의 삽입곡 ‘Always You’로 국내팬들에게 알려져 있는 스웨덴 스톡홀름 출신 여성 싱어 송 라이터 소피 젤마니의 2008년 발매 신작 [The Ocean And Me]. 14세때부터 기타를 연주하며 밥 딜런, 레오나드 코헨을 들으며 자란 그녀의 음악은 역시 정통 포크 뮤직이며 영미 포크음악을 듣는듯한 착각을 가져다 준다. 물론 본작도 영어 가창 앨범이다. 낮은 톤으로 속삭이는 여성 특유의 섬세한 보컬과 어쿠스틱 기타, 쓰디 쓴 사랑을 곱씹는 듯한 동경, 연민의 분위기는 지금껏 발매한 7매의 작품과 본작을 지배하는 소피 젤마니만의 고유한 스타일이다. 심플한 스타일의 여성 포크 뮤직을 선호하는 팬들에게는 더할 나위 없는 추천작. .... ....
I don’t understand why I’m leaving you I don’t understand what I’m doing Must follow what has gone from you Over sea it is moving
I don’t know what’s gonna meet me there I don’t know where I’m going All I find is that my heart’s not here If I stay, you’ll be lonely
The sail got wind in it and I need to see where it goes Yes the wind took my sail, and I Need to go where it blows
I don’t understand how I can be leaving you I could not see that happen Yesterday my world was to love you But now something Took my heart on the shipping
The sail got wind in it and I need to see where it goes Yes the wind took my sail, and I Need to go where it blows
Sometimes I suspect They’ve got commission I’ve got a suspicion Of what they’re trying to do
Sometimes I believe They’re trying to fool me To get something slip through me Like I had a way to go Sometimes I feel That they wonder When they’re talking Of what they think of you Sometimes I hear Without they are asking They want to know if I fell in love With you
If I only could tell them it doesn’t matter Many dreams are shattered Mine long ago
If I only could say There is no reason For them to ever put your name So close to mine
If I could explain Some things about age and prisons And how I never could be A woman of your time
Sometimes I discover them Poking in my closet They search my deposits Or trying something on
Sometimes I get afraid They will find it Awake and remind it Where it’s coming from Sometimes I wish I could warn them How close to me They should dare to go
And I believe they don’t see How they circle Around something That only I will know
