二つの歌 - nihongoのブログ

　shohojiさんにコメント欄で教えていただいたジョン・レノンのマザーというのをYou　Tubeで聴いてみました。

　こんな歌をレノンが歌っていたとは、驚き。

Mother, you had me, but I never had you
I wanted you, you didn't want me
So I, I just got to tell you
Goodbye, goodbye

Father, you left me, but I never left you
I needed you, you didn't need me
So I, I just got to tell you
Goodbye, goodbye

Children, don't do what I have done
I couldn't walk and I tried to run
So I, I just got to tell you
Goodbye, goodbye

Mama, don't go
Daddy, come home
(repeat 9 more times)

　最後の繰り返しのところなど、魂が傷ついた子供のむきだしの叫びのようで、衝撃を受けました。
　熱狂的な人気を得ても、名声を得ても、大金を得ても、埋まらない何か、というより何かが埋まらないからそれを埋めようとして外からいろいろと詰め込んでみて、でもそういうものでは埋められない穴がある。そんな印象を受けました。

　オノヨーコと出会って、彼の空洞は埋められたということでしょうか？

　もう一つは、カーク・フランクリンのImagine me。

Imagine me loving what I see when the mirror looks at me cause I, I imagine me.
In a place, of no insecurities and I'm finally happy cause I imagine me.
Letting go of all of the ones who hurt me cause they never did deserve me, can you imagine me.
Saying no to thoughts that try to control me, remembering all you told me, Lord can you imagine me?
Over what my momma said, and healed from what my daddy did and I wanna live and not read that page again.
(Chorus)
Imagine me, being free, trusting you totally, finally I can imagine me, I admit it was hard to see you being in love with someone like me, finally I can imagine me.
Imagine me
Being strong and not letting people break me down, you won't get that joy this time around. Can you imagine me?
In a world, in a world nobody has to live afraid, because of your love, fear's gone away, can you imagine me.
Letting go of my past and glad I have another chance and my heart will dance cause I don't have to read that page again.
(Repeat Chorus 2x’s)
Kirk talks:
This song is dedicated to people like me, those that struggle with insecurities, acceptance and even self esteem, you never felt good enough, you never felt pretty enough but imagine God whispering in your ear letting you know that everything that has happened is now.
Gone, Gone, Its’ Gone, All Gone
Repeat 8
Kirk’s remarks

Oh na-na-na-na
