ピーター・ガブリエル&ケイト・ブッシュ

明日の"A piece of rum raisin"も下書きで書いちゃったしね。やることないもの。音楽紹介でも。
お題が「ピーター・ガブリエル&ケイト・ブッシュ」なのに、トップ画像が「Shall We ダンス?」なのはなぜかって?そりゃあ、最後まで読めばわかるよ。

ピーター・ガブリエルとともに大好きなケイト・ブッシュ。

Kate Bush - Hounds of Love

知ってます?知らないよね?聴いてみて。

"It's in the trees!
It's coming!"

When I was a child:
Running in the night,
Afraid of what might be

Hiding in the dark,
Hiding in the street,
And of what was following me...

Now hounds of love are hunting.
I've always been a coward,
And I don't know what's good for me.

Here I go!
It's coming for me through the trees.
Help me, someone!
Help me, please!

Take my shoes off,
And throw them in the lake,
And I'll be
Two steps on the water.

I found a fox
Caught by dogs.
He let me take him in my hands.

His little heart,
It beats so fast,
And I'm ashamed of running away

From nothing real--
I just can't deal with this,
But I'm still afraid to be there,

Among your hounds of love,
And feel your arms surround me.
I've always been a coward,
And never know what's good for me.

Oh, here I go!
Don't let me go!
Hold me down!
It's coming for me through the trees.
Help me, darling,
Help me, please!

Take my shoes off
And throw them in the lake,
And I'll be
Two steps on the water.

I don't know what's good for me.
I don't know what's good for me.
I need your love love love love love, yeah!
Your love!

Take your shoes off
And throw them in the lake!

Do you know what I really need?
Do you know what I really need?
I need love love love love love, yeah!

もう一発。映画の英語版『Shall We Dance(シャル・ウィ・ダンス)』
挿入歌。
泣けるよ。
リチャード・ギア、スーザン・サランドン、ジェニファー・ロペスだぜ。
たまらんよ、これは。

ギアの嫁さん、スーザン・サランドンは、なんもかんも諦めて、ジェニファー・ロペスのさよならパーティーに出る衣装一式、夫のギアにプレゼントした。だけどね、ギアは、嫁さんの仕事先に、第一級礼式で現れて、パートナーはキミだけだ、と抜かすのだ。くさいだろう?でも、私もやりたい!
スーザン・サランドンの二人のアシスタントがいい味だしているんだ。その演技を見てやってほしい。キュッとなるよ。

Peter Gabriel - The Book of Love

The book of love is long and boring
No one can lift the damn thing
It's full of charts and facts and figures
And instructions for dancing

But I
I love it when you read to me
And you
You can read me anything

The book of love has music in it
In fact that's where music comes from
Some of it is just transcendental
Some of it is just really dumb

But I
I love it when you sing to me
And you
You can sing me anything

The book of love is long and boring
And written very long ago
It's full of flowers and heart-shaped boxes
And things we're all too young to know

But I
I love it when you give me things
And you
You ought to give me wedding rings

And I
I love it when you give me things
And you
You ought to give me wedding rings
You ought to give me wedding rings

ついでだから、日本のオリジナル、『Shall we ダンス?』のフルバージョンを。周防監督の嫁の草刈民代、役所広司、竹中直人、渡辺えり子、柄本明、原日出子、この出演者、泣けてしまうよ。

01:57:00頃から見るのだ。日本人ってさあ、全然、ファッショナブルじゃないし、格好悪いし、リチャード・ギアに比べて、役所広司なんてブキッチョで、嫁さん泣かせて、最後のダンスも一緒に参加しないけど、それが、私たち日本人なんだよ。無理にアメリカ人に合わすでもなく、この映画のオリジナルは周防正行監督なんだから。泣けてくるぜ。

Shall we ダンス?
