[스크랩] [퓨전재즈] Tony Joe White / Rainy Day Lover외..

Closer To The Truth Strong instinct for survival Romantically insane Moving soft along the edge of time Like a panther in the rain Manipulated rebels With a total disregard for the rules When pride comes tumbling off the great white stallion You move closer to the truth And the search continues for the meaning They build the cathedrals high But we keep our weapons ready Looming dark against the sky They're taking down the rain forest Changing it to a room without a view And the big trees fall like dominoes And we move closer The eagle watches from the mountain As the warriors turn into fools And the dice are thrown on sacred ground And they move closer to the truth And who's gonna tell the children How the rivers used to flow cystal blue And we keep leaving scars on Mother Earth And moving closer to the truth *** Rainy day lover She's a rainy day lover She only comes by when she pleases Although she tells me that she needs me I never know when she'll be leaving But every time I hear the rain I stopped looking out my window pane From my rainy day lover She's a rainy day lover She don't want no chains to bind her She gives me love and then she goes I never know where to find her She just leaves me all alone She don't even telephone Rainy day lover She's a rainy day lover But I just can't break away Because every time she comes to see me I keep hoping she might stay She gives me love and when she's gone Oh, she keeps me hanging on Rainy day lover Foreign Affair ('89) 앨범에서 티나 터너가 부른 곡을... 노래를 만든 White가 직접 불렀다. Undercover Agent For The Blues He was my lover, he was working undercover The fellow knew all of the moves He really had me romping, bare footing stomping He just kept igniting my fuse He was blinded by the blackness of my long silk stocking He would rock me with an optical illusion And this ain’t how I thought it'd be He just kept on keeping me in a state of total confusion He took me for a ride And rattled me down to my shoes But I found out He was an undercover agent for the blues He never really needed love from any direction no I was just an innocent bystander He just kept getting kinkier, hook, line and sinker Just too hot to handle He took me by storm It must have been a season for the fools So bad He was an undercover agent for the blues He took me for a ride And rattled me down to my shoes But i found out He was an undercover agent for the blues Tony Joe White 더이상 흑인들만의 전유물이 아니라는 듯 60년대 초반 나타난 Blue Eyed soul (또는 화이트 소울)은 백인 뮤지션에 의해 불려진 Soul과 R&B를 말한다. 엄청난 환호를 지속적으로 받아왔던 음악인으로 지금 까지도 많은 영향력을 남기고 있는 Tony Joe White 도 그 중 빼놓을 수 없는 아티스트로 Rainy day lover 은 남부 작곡가 중에 따라올 자가 흔치 않다는 Tony Joe White의 숨은 멋이 있는 곡이다. 컨트리와 록, 펑키, 블루 아이드 소울을 혼합한 그의 1969년 톱10곡 'Polk Salad Annie'는 그의 저력을 인정받게 했다 http://cafe.daum.net/olivemusic
