창백한 감수성과 재기 발랄한 위트의 공존. 평단과 대중이 극찬한 스웨디시 싱어송라이터 라세 린드"LASSE LINDH"의 3번째 영어 앨범 [SPARKS] 겨울 풍경을 연상시키는 시린 보이스 컬러와 상반되는 주체할 수 없을"?" 정도의 밝고 유쾌한 태도. 이는 스웨디쉬 싱어송라이터 라세 린드의 두 가지 모습이다. 그의 이러한 성격적인 면이 4계절 내내 변덕적인 날씨 속에서 살아가는 한국인의 취향을 관통한 것일까. 2006년, MBC 시트콤 ‘소울메이트’에 삽입된 록 발라드 넘버 ‘C’MON THROUGH’, 와 ‘THE STUFF’는 몇 년의 시간이 흐른 지금까지도 대중들의 뇌리 속에서 꾸준히 기억되는 곡이 되었다.문화도 환경도 다른 낯선 유럽에 찾아온 이 뮤지션의 음악적 해법은 한국땅에서 통할 수 밖에 없는 남다른 매력을 지니고 있던 것이 분명하다. 두 번의 내한 공연 모두 전색 매진되는 이례적인 사건을 발생시키며 국내에서 대중적 싱어송라이터로서의 적절한 포지션을 확보해냈던 라세 린드의 음악은 방송과 인터넷을 섭렵하며 대중과 평단, 뮤지션을 동시에 열광시켰다.이번앨범 [SPARK]는 그간 라세 린드의 음악적 궤적을 한 눈에 꿰뚫어볼 수 있게 해준다. 극도의 행복과 우울의 경계를 쉴새 없이 오가는 10곡의 트랙 속에는 록, 발라드, 기타팝, 뉴 웨이브부터 시규어 로스"SIGUR ROS", 엠에이티쓰리"M83"을 방불케 하는 북유럽 슈게이징의 영향까지 느껴진다. .... ....
You got to let go, I know if we could sum up our love I’ve done you much more good than wrong but its the wrong that counts and I have poisoned Our house of love and our dreams with my blanket of guilt I have let you down for the very last time
Hate on me, lay all your hate on me, cut me open and re-shape me I’m so tired of my body and my soul Hate on me, lay all your hate on me, cut me open and re-shape me I’m so tired of hating myself, please set me free
It cuts like a knife to know that you will walk in pain and you will fall and you will break but in the end it’s for the good cause you’ll rise And you will find a man that can give you all that I never could and he’ll bring the light back in your eyes
Hate on me, lay all your hate on me, cut me open and re-shape me I’m so tired of my body and my soul Hate on me, lay all your hate on me, cut me open and re-shape me I’m so tired of hating myself, please set me free
Id been looking for so long All over the city and in all the bars For someone just like you And all this time you were right by my side
Oh this night is so strange, but what’s so wrong with strange?
Don’t go yet, don’t say we don’t rime, we still own the night Don’t go yet no, no, no time to get shy. Talk about passion Don’t go yet, don’t go, I can lie. I won’t tell you about this storm in my heart, this hunger inside I feel when I look in your eyes
Id been broken for so long I thought I was wasted and used up for good And now that I have you I will never, never ,never let go
But I don’t need to rush, Ill pretend it’s just for tonight
Don’t go yet, don’t say we don’t rime, we still own the night Don’t go yet no, no, no time to get shy. Talk about passion Don’t go yet, don’t go, I can lie. I won’t tell you about this storm in my heart, this hunger inside I feel when I look in your eyes
You been falling out of place and you feel distant from yourself You walk without a shadow and you feel empty through and through You look for a purpose but don’t know what, you live your days without any lust You meet your friends and you find lovers but something is lost Well the hardest part is the easiest
Hold on hold on to love, you can make it trough the rain a hurricane is nothing new You have fought before and can fight again so Hold on hold on to love, when you feel lost and life hits hard When hate corrupts our weakened soul save your tears in a bucket and hold on hold on to love
You have doubted your own heart, is it still able to love? You close your eyes at night but you never find real peace But after rain there’s always sun, so…
Hold on hold on to love, you can make it trough the rain a hurricane is nothing new You have fought before and can fight again so Hold on hold on to love, when you feel lost and life hits hard When hate corrupts our weakened soul save your tears in a bucket and hold on hold on to love
I’m gonna be flat out frank and tell it how it is I hate myself to the bones I’m a good seed in the wrong fucking field, caught up in lies I didn’t mean this to happen, didn’t think it could happen, oh I’m lost in the sea And I never learned how to swim
God left my heart a long time ago He got out when the first bomb fell He’s no, no friend of mine And now I’m stuck with this black, cold, big-hate lump deep inside
I’ve always thought of myself as a stand-up guy in rain in storm and in fire I treated you good, we were sparks in the sky and kites in the night But I am weak and I’m tall when I get wet on the dance floor, I’m no good for anyone And for causing you pain I’m always ashamed
God left my heart a long time ago He got out when the first bomb fell He’s no, no friend of mine And now I’m stuck with this big, black, cold-hate lump deep inside
Yeah I liked you from the start, you glittered and looked so cool It was like you know something nobody else knew And it protected you from the evil and the shadows in this world So yeah I was shocked and I was sad when I got your letter but…
Don’t change, don’t let life wear you out, you will always be miss most likely to succeed Don’t change, don’t loose you soul and heart, you will always be miss most likely to succeed To me
You wrote that love had found and robbed you and you felt old Like a stupid hand trying to old on to water, you asked why I never made a pass on you? Well here’s my answer Jean “if you look up a bird long enough it forgets how to fly”
Don’t change, don’t let life wear you out, you will always be miss most likely to succeed Don’t change, don’t loose you soul and heart, you will always be miss most likely to succeed to me
So no matter how good of friends we were or how we ruled the city or how much I love to be with you. I won’t meet you by our old place and I won’t try to hold you warm, I will write this letter and tell you this:
Don’t change, don’t let life wear you out, you will always be miss most likely to succeed Don’t change, don’t loose you soul and heart, you will always be miss most likely to succeed to me
Its the way you kick-start my body when its of, its the way you shiver Its the way you hold me when the night is rough, its the way you touch me When I’m feeling sore
Its the way you shake me when I’m going black, its the way your yes burn Its the way you giggle, the way you fall asleep when you watch TV
Its so strange how easy you scare the rain away And you make me feel like I’m young I wanna scream in the night that I love you I do
Its the way you jump-dance when we’re at a club, its the way you rumble Its the way you whisper in my ear at night, its the way you love me
Its so strange how easy you scare the rain away And you make me feel like I’m young I wanna scream in the night that I love you I do
I’ve been running on fumes for so long Is this my life? I’ve been talking, I’ve been talking to people I don’t even like
Shake me, shake me, shake me, shake me, shake me piggy in the mirror shake me up Shake me, shake me, shake me, shake me, shake me piggy in the mirror shake me up
They call it ups and downs, Well where the hell is my ups? I don’t even remember choosing this road I feel so lost
Shake me, shake me, shake me, shake me piggy in the mirror shake me up Shake me, shake me, shake me, shake me piggy in the mirror shake me up
We been over this inside and out and under All the angles we could try You fight I fight you cry I cry We try but we never seem to work it out Oh angel of mine I will leave you high and dry Oh angel of mine I gotta leave you high and dry I gotta run for my life
It's a killer thing its gonna burn us good But I see no other way If I stay we break If I say goodbye we never make it all the way Oh angel of mine I will leave you high and dry Oh angel of mine I gotta leave you high and dry I gotta run for my life
Oh angel of mine I will leave you high and dry Oh angel of mine I gotta leave you high and dry I gotta run run
Oh angel of mine I will leave you high and dry Oh angel of mine I gotta leave you high and dry I gotta run for my life
