[비교열전] Earth, Wind & Fire - After The Love Has Gone

프롤로그...

 

퇴근 후 피곤하게 누워있는 형에게 내가 물었다.

 

나 : "형! 요즘 Earth, Wind & Fire, 뭐하는 줄 알아?"

 

형 : "아니~~"

 

나 : "나도 몰라~"

 

뭐 어쨌든... 시작해보자.

 

 

Earth, Wind & Fire (이른바, "지,풍,화")

삼성 갤럭시 노트의 광고음악, September로 우리에게 익숙한 그룹이다.

 

한번 감상해보자.

 

 

 

 

 

어렸을 때, 이 노래를 "두 유 리멤바~ 투에니포쎄븐 개고기~" 라고 개사해서 불렀던 기억이 난다.
 자, 이제 "아!!" 하고 딱 감이 잡히시는가?  
 그렇다. 이 분들이시다. 해외에선 꽤나 유명하신 분들이다.

Earth, Wind & Fire - After The Love Has Gone (Live in Japan)

옛날 영상 치곤, 꽤 깔끔한 편이다.

 

 

 

 

아래는 가사...

 

For a while, to love was all we could do 
We were young and we knew 
In our eyes were alive 
Deep inside we knew our love was true 
For a while, we paid no mind to the past 
We knew love would last 
Every night, something right 
Would invite us to begin the day 

Something happened along the way 
What used to be happy was sad 
Something happened along the way 
And yesterday was all we had 

And, oh, after the love has gone
How could you lead me on 
And not let me stay around? 
Oh, oh, oh, after the love has gone
What used to be right is wrong 
Can love that's lost be found? 

For a while, to love each other with all 
We would ever need 
Love was strong for so long 
Never knew that what was 
Wrong, oh, baby, wasn't right 
We tried to find what we had 
Till sadness was all we shared 
We were scared 
This affair would lead our love into 

Something happened along the way 
Yesterday was all we had 
Something happened along the way 
What used to be happy is sad 
Something happened along the way 
Yesterday was all we had ~~~~

And, oh, after the love has gone
How could you lead me on 
And not let me stay around? 
Oh, oh, oh, after the love has gone
What used to be right is wrong 
Can love that's lost be found? 

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, after the love has gone
What used to be right is wrong 
Can love that's lost be found? 

 

 캬...

 

 

 박수 한 번씩들 쳐 주시고...

 

 

 오늘도 즐거운 하루를 보내시길...

 

 이만 총총.
