Wham의 솔로본능 잡다한 생각들...

예전부터 느꼈던 것이지만, Wham, 그리고 조지 마이클의 노래를 들어보면 이건 진퉁 쏠로의 냄새가 납니다.

1번 타자, Wham 최고의 앨범 <Make It Big>(뭔가 크게 해먹자라는 느낌이 오는 군요. 제대로 찌질함을 보여주겠다는 의지였을까요?) <Wake me up before you go-go>. 
굉장히 흥겨운 노래이지만, 가사를 파헤쳐봅시다.

"Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go"

Jitterbug [4X]

You put the boom-boom into my heart
You send my soul sky high when your lovin' starts 사귈땐 모두 다 좋죠~
Jitterbug into my brain
Goes a bang-bang-bang 'til my feet do the same
But something's bugging you 슬슬 조짐이 보이는군요.
Something ain't right 뭔가 잘못되었군요.
My best friend told me what you did last night 
Left me sleepin' in my bed
I was dreaming, but I should have been with you instead. 니 옆엔 내가 있어야만 했어.ㅠ.ㅠ

Wake me up before you go-go 
Don't leave me hanging on like a yo-yo 완전 그녀 손아귀에서 놀아나는 요요군요.
Wake me up before you go-go
I don't want to miss it when you hit that high
Wake me up before you go-go
'Cause I'm not plannin' on going solo 다들 그렇게 계획되지 않은 채로 솔로가 되어가는 겁니다.
Wake me up before you go-go
Take me dancing tonight 자존심은 어따 팔아먹었는지...ㅠ.ㅠ
I wanna hit that high (yeah, yeah)

You take the grey skies out of my way
You make the sun shine brighter than Doris Day 원래 여자는 첨에 다 영화배우보다 더 이뻐보이는 법.
Turned a bright spark into a flame 
My beats per minute never been the same

'Cause you're my lady, I'm your fool
It makes me crazy when you act so cruel
Come on, baby, let's not fight 여자가 고수군요, 주인공이 나쁜 여자한테 단단히 당했나보군요.
We'll go dancing, everything will be all right 춤바람이 단단히 나셨군요. 춤추러 간다고 해서 여자맘이 돌아올까요?

Wake me up before you go-go 
Don't leave me hanging on like a yo-yo
Wake me up before you go-go
I don't want to miss it when you hit that high
Wake me up before you go-go
'Cause I'm not plannin'' on going solo
Wake me up before you go-go
Take me dancing tonight
I wanna hit that high (yeah, yeah, baby)

(Jitterbug)
(Jitterbug)

Cuddle up, baby, move in tight
We'll go dancing tomorrow night
It's cold out there, but it's warm in bed
They can dance, we'll stay home instead

(Jitterbug)

Wake me up before you go-go 
Don't leave me hanging on like a yo-yo
Wake me up before you go-go
I don't want to miss it when you hit that high
Wake me up before you go-go
'Cause I'm not plannin' on going solo
Wake me up before you go-go
Take me dancing tonight
Wake me up before you go-go, don't you dare to leave me hanging on like a
yo-yo
Take me dancing

(Boom-boom-boom)

전체적인 분위기가 맘떠난 여자를 붙잡고자 하는, 남자의 찌질함절절함이 듬뿍 묻어나오는 노래입니다.


2번타자, 같은 앨범의 <Freedom>

"Freedom"

Everyday I hear a different story 소문이 안 좋군요.
People say that you're no good for me 주위 사람들이 말리는군요.
So you love another
And she's making a fool of you 여자들이 완전 주인공을 바보로 만드는.ㅜ.ㅜ
Oh
If you love me baby
Don't deny it
But you left me
And tell me
I should try it
Tell me I'm a baby
And I will understand 여자가 굉장히 나쁘면서 우유부단하군요.여지를 남기는 듯 하면서 확신을 안 주는!

But to know that I'll forgive you
Just this once, twice, forever 이거 남자가 호구임을 증명하고 있네요.
'Cause baby
You could take me to hell and back 천당과 지옥을 맛보게 하는 나쁜여자~
Just as long as we're together 
And you do

I don't want your freedom 
I don't want to play around
I don't want nobody's baby
Part-time love just brings me down Full-time love가 아닌 Part-time love라니...ㅠ.ㅠ 사랑도 청년실업시대였던 건가요...ㅠ.ㅠ
I don't need your freedom
Girl all I want right now is you

Like a prisoner who has his own key
But I can't escape until you love me 
I just go from day to day 완전히 정신적으로 여자한테 잡혔군요. 
Knowing all about the other boys
You take my hand and tell me I'm a fool
To give you all I do
Bet you someday
Baby
Someone says the same to you

But to know that I'll forgive you
Just this once, twice, forever
'Cause baby
You could take me to hell and back
Just as long as we're together
And you do

Oh

I don't want your freedom
I don't want to play around
I don't want nobody's baby
Part-time love just brings me down
I don't need your freedom
Girl all I want right now is you

But to know that I'll forgive you
Just this once, twice, forever
'Cause baby
You could take me to hell and back
Just as long as we're together
And you do

I don't want your freedom
I don't need to play around
I don't want nobody's baby
Part-time love just brings me down

I don't want your
(I don't want your)
I don't want your
(I don't want your)
I don't want your
(I don't want your)
I don't want your
(I don't want your) 여기쯤에서 I don't want you를 강하게 외쳤어야 했습니다.
Oh...

여기서 끝날리가요. 3번타자, <Heartbeat>

"Heartbeat"

Another summer
Another vacation is over
It is September now with the sun and the smell of the clover
Down by the gate we sit and watch all our friends go by
And pretend we don't hear the bell that rings through the summer sky 여기까지는 꿈인거 같습니다.(용사여, 깨어나세요~~~)

I was happy with the kisses she gave me
It is just that happy was all she made me
Happy that was until I saw you 여기서도 남자는 키스 한방에 무너졌다는 걸 알수 있죠.

[Chorus]
Heartbeat
Heartbeat, what do you bear me now
You hurt me, desert me in my darkest hour 여기서 또 여자한테 채입니다. 암흑이죠. 채이면...ㅠ.ㅠ
Heartbeat
Heartbeat, Why do you keep me here 
How help but admire her beauty 역시 여자는 이쁘고 볼 일입니다.
Standing on the line between desire and duty
Heartbeat
Heartbeat, it'll end in tears 흑;;; 제 눈에도 눈물이 나올라 합니다...ㅠ.ㅠ

I need a lover when love is such dangerous place to be
If we were meant for each other then why don't you answer me
Don't keep me waiting, you know I long to be by your side 여기서도 나쁜 여자의 본색이 나오는군요. 제대로 확신 안주는;;;
We could even by together tonight

I was happy with the kisses she gave me
But now there's nothing on earth can save me Kiss & Kick이군요. 키스하고 차이는...ㅠ.ㅠ
Why should I care I can't have you.

4번 타자, 시적으로 미쳐가는 <Careless Whisper>

"Careless Whispers"

Time can never mend the careless whispers, of a good friend
To the heart and mind, ignorance is kind
There's no comfort in the truth 
Pain is all you'll find 여기쯤 오니까 표현이 시적으로 변하는군요. 정신상태가 맛이 간 게 보입니다.

Should've known better

I feel so unsure
As I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor
As the music dies, something in your eyes
Calls to mind the silver screen
And all its sad good-byes 역쉬, 여자가 변심하면 눈빛부터 변한다더니...

I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know your not a fool 여자는 끝까지 남자를 바보취급하나봅니다.

Should've known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I've been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you 춤바람 단단히 나셨군요. 정신과 의사를 권해주고 싶군요.

Time can never mend
The careless whispers of a good friend
To the heart and mind
Ignorance is kind
There's no comfort in the truth
Pain is all you'll find

I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know your not a fool

Should've known better than to cheat a friend
And waste this chance that I've been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you

Never without your love

Tonight the music seems so loud
I wish that we could lose this crowd
Maybe it's better this way
We'd hurt each other with the things we'd want to say 이쯤되면 멘붕이라고 봐야겠죠...ㅠ.ㅠ

We could have been so good together 다들 그렇게 생각하죠.
We could have lived this dance forever 
But no one's gonna dance with me 이런...ㅠ.ㅠ 죄다 채였군요.
Please stay

And I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm 
Though it's easy to pretend
I know your not a fool

Should've known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I've been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you

(Now that you're gone) Now that you're gone
(Now that you're gone) What I did's so wrong 첨 헤어졌을땐, 뭘 잘못했는지 모르죠.
That you had to leave me alone 윽, 인생은 혼자인 겁니다...ㅠ.ㅠ

이 네곡 말고도 이 앨범의 다른 곡들도 뭐...

여튼 다시 보니, 엄청나군요.
