많은 사람들이 말랑말랑하고 상업주의에 찌든 팝을 듣는 것보다 록을 들어야 한다고 주장하는 것은 어쩌면 이기적이고 편협한 사고방식처럼 들리지만, 일단 무대 위의 어떤 아티스트가 악기를 들고 기타 튠(Tune)을 맞추며 다른 멤버들과의 조화로운 호흡을 통해 노래를 불러주는 모습을 보고 나면 이것이 정말 라이브의 진수구나, 아님 뮤지션이라면 적어도 이래야 하지 않을까란 생각에 빠지게 된다. 그만큼 록음악은 멤버들이 오랫동안 닦아온 팀웍의 명백한 증거로 탄생한 산물이며 적어도 그들만의 진정하고 솔직한 모습을 가장 직접적으로 느낄 수 있게 해주는 음악이기 때문이다.
무수히 많은 밴드의 흥망성쇠를 보면서 그들이 남긴 주옥같은 트랙들은 시간이 지나도 리스너의 가슴을 치고 머리를 뒤흔드는 무언가가 있다. 그리고 지금 소개하는 록 컴필레이션 [Let`s Rock]은 90년대 말에서 2002년을 관통하는 심장들만 모아 놓은 것 같다. 이런 감동과 흥분의 기회를 맞이하기란 쉽지 않을 듯. 여하간 록을 몰라도, 아니 록에 관심조차 없는 이들이라 해도 이 한 장의 앨범이면 최근 록 음악을 이해하기에 완벽하다고 감히 생각해본다. .... ....
Come and lay right on my bed, sit and drink some wine I'll try not to make you cry And if you get inside my head, then you'd understand Then you'd understand me Why I've felt so alone, why I kept myself from love And you became my favorite drug So let me take you right now and swallow you down, I need you inside
Chorus: If we had this night together If we had a moment to ourselves If we had this night together, then we'd be unstoppable
Do you think that this is right, or is it really wrong I know that this is what we've been wanting And all this burning in my soul, it fills up to my throat It fills up 'till my heart is breaking
Chorus
Now, we can both learn Somehow, you'll see it's all we have Love, it keeps us together And I need love
When I wake up without you, knowing you're not there I'm only feeling half as good Well I'm gonna find a way To wrap you in my arms, you make me feel alive
So I look in your direction But you paid me no attention do you
I know you don't listen to me cause you say you see straight through me don't you On and on from the moment I wake To the moment I sleep I'll be there by your side Just you try and stop me I'll be waiting in line Just to see if you care
Did she want me to change But I change for good And I want you to know But you always get your way I wanted to say Don't you Shiver Shiver Shiver I'll always be waiting for you So you know how much I need ya But you never even see me do you And is this my fin all chance of getting you but and on from the moment I wake To the moment I sleep I'll be there by your side Just you try and stop me I'll be waiting in line Just to see if you care if you care Did she want me to change Well I change for good And I want you to know that you'll always get your way I wanted to say Don't you shiver Don't you shiver Sing it loud and clear I'll always be waiting for you
Yeah I'll always be waiting for you Yeah I'll always be waiting for you Yeah I'll always be waiting for you for you I will always be waiting And it's you I see but you don't see me And it's you I hear so loud so and clear I sing it loud and clear And I'll always be waiting for you So I look in your direction But you pay me no attention And you know how much I need you But you never even seen me
The gap that grows between our lives The gap our parents never had Stop those thoughts control your mind Replace the things that you despise Oh you're old I hear you say It doesn't mean that I don't care I don't believe in it anymore Pathetic acts for a worthless cause
In the beginning when we were winning When our smiles were genuine In the beginning when we were winning When our smiles were genuine
But now unforgiven the everlasting Everlasting
The world is full of refugees They're just like you and just like me But as people we have a choice To end the void with all its force So don't forget or don't pretend It's all the same now in the end It was set in a different life Destroys my days and haunts my nights?
In the beginning when we were winning When our smiles were genuine In the beginning when we were winning When our smiles were genuine
But now unforgiving the everlasting Everlasting
In the beginning when we were winning When our smiles were genuine In the beginning when we were winning When our smiles were genuine
San Francisco Bay Past pier thirty nine Early p m Can't remember what time Got the waiting cab Stopped at the red light Address unsure of But it turned out just right

I can't help my feelings, I'll go out of my mind These players come to get me 'cause they'd like my behind I can't love my business if I can't get a trick Down on Santa Monica where tricks are for kids
Oh, come on and kick me Oh, come on and kick me Come on and kick me You've got your problems I've got my ass wide You've got your big G's I've got my hash pipe
I can't help my boogies they get out of control I know that you don't care but I want you to know The knee-stocking flavor is a favorite treat Of men that don't bother with the taste of a teat
Oh, come on and kick me Oh, come on and kick me Come on and kick me You've got your problems I've got my ass wide You've got your big G's I've got my hash pipe I've got my hash pipe
Oh, come on and kick me Oh, come on and kick me Come on and kick me You've got your problems I've got my ass wide You've got your big G's I've got my hash pipe I've got my hash pipe
Complicate this world you wrapped for me I'm acquainted with your suffering
And all your weight It falls on me It brings me down And all your weight It falls on me It falls on me
Hold me up to all whom you've deceived Promises you break you still believe
And all your weight It falls on me It brings me down And all your weight It brings me down It brings me down And all your weight It falls on me It brings me down And all your weight It falls on me It falls on me
And all your weight It falls on me It brings me down And all your weight It falls on me It falls on me
I took a walk around the world to ease my troubled mind I left my body lying somewhere in the sands of time I watched the world float to the dark side of the moon I feel there's nothing I can do
I watched the world float to the dark side of the moon After all I knew it had to be something to do with you I really don't mind what happens now and then As long as you'll be my friend at the end If I go crazy then will you still call me Superman If I'm alive and well will you be there holdin' my hand I'll keep you by my side with my superhuman might Kryptonite
You called me strong you called me weak but still your secrets I will keep You took for granted all the times I never let you down You stumbled in and bumped your head if not for me then you'd be dead I picked you up and put you back on solid ground If I go crazy then will you still call me Superman If I'm alive and well will you be there holdin' my hand I'll keep you by my side with my superhuman might Kryptonite
If I go crazy then will you still call me Superman If I'm alive and well will you be there holdin' my hand I'll keep you by my side with my superhuman might Kryptonite If I go crazy then will you still call me Superman If I'm alive and well will you be there holdin' my hand I'll keep you by my side with my superhuman might Kryptonite

Some call me a loser Some call me a cheater Some say I'm a selfish Untalented dreamer Cause all I try to do Is keep my dream alive But it's so hard to do When your working 9 to 5 I've never been one afraid to die But I'm afraid to leave behind The precious life that grows Through the sands of time Cause now I've got two daughters And I know they need their father To help them make it through All of the devious things that people do Cause every moment counts From the good times to the bad I don't have time to envy Those that got things I've never had Cause the one thing most important Is the one we take for granted And until your life is on that line I think it's the way God had planned it To open up your eyes And make you realize That to some life is money But what's money without life Cause alls I need Is the air that I breathe And my friends and family To believe in me As deep as the abyss Where the waters run As deep as the land Of the rising sun You know I'm down Even when them odds Are against us It doesn't even matter Nothing else matters As deep as the abyss Where the waters run As deep as the land Of the rising sun You know I'm down Even when them odds Are against us It doesn't even matter Nothing else matters We bleed the same blood We cry the same tears We have the same fears We pass the same years We see the same stars Under the same sky We pass the same time We all live and die Cause friends and family Wash thicker than blood And if ya never felt love Then I feel for you, Cuz Cause lives pass above us in 747s Deceased dwell below us Before they go to heaven Everything in between all has a meaning Some stay connected While others keep fiending Looking for that meaning But the lost can't be found Drop to your caps and pray Now can ya hear the sound Do ya feel it Do ya feel it comin Two triple zero The hunters are the hunted Electrical currents Conflict with the spirits Ah do ya hear it Ah or do ya feel it Deep like seven leagues Life intrigues intelligence Got no time for clutter You're late if there's hesitance Put your foot forward And there will be a helping hand Take a step back Then your stuck in the quick sand Ingesting toxins keeps us locked in A mental jail trap 99 where your family at Oh and I might fail Oh I might succeed Whatever the outcome is Just keep your faith in me Just believe in me And I will be there As deep as the abyss Where the waters run As deep as the land Of the rising sun You know I'm down Even when them odds Are against us It doesn't even matter Nothing else matters As deep as the abyss Where the waters run As deep as the land Of the rising sun You know I'm down Even when them odds Are against us It doesn't even matter Nothing else matters As deep as the abyss Where the waters run As deep as the land Of the rising sun You know I'm down Even when them odds Are against us It doesn't even matter Nothing else matters As deep as the abyss Where the waters run As deep as the land Of the rising sun You know I'm down Even when them odds Are against us It doesn't even matter Nothing else matters
Standing by the window Eyes upon the moon Hoping that the memory Will leave her spirit soon She shuts the doors and lights and lays her body on the bed Where images and words are running deep She has too much pride to pull the sheets above her head So quietly she lays and waits for sleep She stares at the ceiling and tries not to think And pictures the chain she's been trying to link again But the feeling is gone And water can't cover her memory And ashes can't answer her pain God give me the power to |take breath from a breeze And call life from a cold metal frame In with the ashes Or up with the smoke from the fire With wings up in heaven Or here, lying in bed Palm of her hand to my head Now and forever curled In my heart and the heart of the world
