평범한 드러머 그 이상의 의미 Ringo Starr 그렇게 고대하던 Ringo Starr의 선물이 2006년 8월 한국에 도착했다!
여름의 끝에서 반복되는 일상으로 조금은 지쳤을 법한 당신에게 아주 특별한 선물이 도착했다. 비틀즈(Beatles)의 드러머(Drummer) 링고스타(Ringo Starr)로부터_
선물에 대한 설명을 조금 하자면_ 링고스타(Ringo Starr)와 올스타밴드, 1998년부터 시작된 링고스타와 수퍼 뮤지션들의 조인트 투어로 14년이 넘는 기간 동안 성공적으로 진행되고 있는 프로젝트이다. 본 앨범 Ringo Starr<The Anthology... So Far>은 1989년부터 2000년까지 링고스타와 동시대를 풍미한 최고의 뮤지션들의 라이브 공연의 베스트 콜렉션 모음집이다.
드러머가 이처럼 자신의 재능으로 주목 받는 경우는 드물다. 그렇기 때문에 더욱 더 기대되는 이 박스 세트는 현저한 업적을 기리며 그에게 봉헌하는 앨범이며, 또한 그에게 열광적이고 그를 숭배하는 대중들에게 발매되는 고대하던 선물 인 셈이다.
3장의 디스크에 47트랙, 총 길이 3시간 31분 57초의 놀라운 라이브의 향연이며 Ringo Starr & His All-Starr Band의 모든 투어공연의 하이라이트들로 가득하다. 본 앨범을 통해 링고스타의 히트곡들(솔로음악 활동과 비틀즈 시절의 명곡들)과 함께, Dr. John, Levon Helm, Rick Danko, Joe Walsh, John Entwistle, Dave Edmunds, Timothy B. Schmit, Felix Cavaliere, Randy Bachman, Burton Cummings, Peter Frampton, Simon Kirke, Jack Bruce, Eric Carmen, 그리고 위대한 Todd Rundgren등의 당대 최고의 뮤지션들의 대표 곡들과 연주를 만끽할 수 있을 것이다. 이 음반은 흥겹고, 최고의 연주로 채워져 있으며, 널리 알려진(그리고 들을수록 빠져드는)노래들로 가득하다. 옛 추억을 되찾고자 하는 이들에게 또한 충분한 향수를 전해줄 것이다. 특히 이 앨범에는, 다른 음반을 통해 발매되지 않은 6곡의 링고 스타의 곡들과, 13곡의 참여아티스트의 곡들이 포함되어 있다.
하지만 우리에게 정말 큰 선물은 올해로 66세를 맞이한 링고 스타일지도 모른다. 우리가 링고 스타와 동시대를 살아가고 있고, 그의 음악도 함께 세월이 묻는다. 세월이 묻은 그의 음악을 들을 수 있는 우리는 그의 팬으로써 얼마나 행복한가. Ringo Starr<The Anthology... So Far>을 통해 새삼 다시 느끼게 될 것이다. .... ....

Honey don't (4x) I say you will when you won't, Honey don't
Well I love you baby and you oughta know, I like the way that you wear your clothes, Everything about you is so doggone sweet, You got that sand all over your feet
Well someone's gotta love ya on a Saturday night, Sunday morning you don't look right, You've been out paintin' the town, Baby been steppin' around
EV´RY TIME I SEE YOUR FACE, IT REMINDS ME OF THE PLACES WE USED TO GO. BUT ALL I GOT IS A PHOTOGRAPH AND I REALISE YOU'RE NOT COMING BACK ANYMORE.
I THOUGHT I´D MAKE IT THE DAY YOU WENT AWAY, BUT I CAN'T MAKE IT TILL YOU COME HOME AGAIN TO STAY-YI-YAY-YI-YAY.
I CAN'T GET USED TO LIVING HERE, WHILE MY HEART IS BROKE, MY TEARS I CRIED FOR YOU. I WANT YOU HERE TO HAVE AND HOLD, AS THE YEARS GO BY AND WE GROW OLD AND GREY.
NOW YOU'RE EXPECTING ME TO LIVE WITHOUT YOU, BUT THAT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO.
I CAN'T GET USED TO LIVING HERE, WHILE MY HEART IS BROKE, MY TEARS I CRIED FOR YOU. I WANT YOU HERE TO HAVE AND HOLD, AS THE YEARS GO BY AND WE GROW OLD AND GREY.

EV´RY TIME I SEE YOUR FACE, IT REMINDS ME OF THE PLACES WE USED TO GO. BUT ALL I GOT IS A PHOTOGRAPH AND I REALISE YOU'RE NOT.
When I was a little boy, Way back home in Liverpool, My mama told me, I was great.
Then when I was a teenager, I knew that I had got something going, All my friends told me I was great.
And now I'm a man, A woman took me by the hand, And you know what she told me, I was great.
I was in the greatest show on earth, For what it was worth. Now I'm only thirty-two And all I want to do, is boogaloo!
Hey! I looked in the mirror, I saw my wife and kids, And you know what they told me, I was great.
Yes, my name is Billy Shears, You know it has been for so many years. Now I'm only thirty-two And all I want to do, is boogaloo!
Hey, hey, hey, (hey, hey, hey) yeah! (hey, hey, hey) I'm the greatest and you better believe it, baby! Ho! Ho! Ho! I'm gonna be the greatest in this world, (ho!) In the next world and in any world! (hey!)
When you wake up (I woke up) from a bad dream to the howling of a lonely night You feel (felt) the walls come closing in like the victim of a one-way fight
I don't remember many yesterdays, I left a lot of things undone Now I'm back and I'm here to say I'm looking after number one Oh! Don't go where the road don't go Oh, Don't go where the road don't go
Seeing people on the freeway takes me back to where it all begun I was riding on a big wheel, I was walking in a midnight sun I did a lot of favors then and asked for nothing in return Now those friends have all disappeared, I guess there's still so much to learn
[Chorus:] Oh! Don't go where the road don't go Oh, Don't go where the road don't go Oh, Don't go where the road don't go 'cause you'll never run, you'll never outrun the gun Now I'm the man up on the wire Not sung] Now I'm the man behind the wheel When I said it don't come easy Well I sure know how that feels
[Chorus: x2]
Don't go, don't go, don't go where the road don't go
They're gonna put me in the movies They're gonna make a big star out of me We'll make a film about a man that's sad and lonely And all I gotta do is act naturally
[Chorus:] Well, I'll bet you I'm a-gonna be a big star Might win an Oscar you can't never tell The movie's gonna make me a big star, 'Cause I can play the part so well
Well, I hope you come and see me in the movie Then I'll know that you will plainly see The biggest fool that's ever hit the big time And all I gotta do is act naturally
We'll make a scene about a man that's sad and lonely Begging down upon his bended knee I'll play the part but I won't need rehearsing All I'll have to do is act naturally
[Chorus]
Well, I hope you come and see me in the movie Then I'll know that you will plainly see The biggest fool that's ever hit the big time And all I gotta do is act naturally
Maybe your daddy never held you like he should Maybe your mama just held on the best she could Every soul has a secret, give it away or keep it But yesterday's gone so tell me why
You carry the weight, the weight of the world It's breakin' you down on your back like a boulder Before it's too late, get rid of it girl Get it off your shoulder, I know you've been used But you gotta lose the weight of the world
Maybe I haven't always been there just for you Maybe I try but then, I got my own life too Every heart has a hunger I'm not getting any younger I got all the crosses I can bear
Don't gimme the weight, the weight of the world It's breakin' me down on my back like a boulder Before it's too late, get rid of it girl Get it off of my shoulder, you know I've been used And I gotta lose the weight of the world
It all comes down to who you crucify You either kiss the future or the past goodbye We could fly so high
But we carry the world, the weight of the world It's breakin' us down on our backs like a boulder Before it's too late, get rid of it girl Get it off of our shoulders, we've all been used And we gotta lose the weight of the world
It's takin' us down and the night's growin' colder Just blame it on fate, that was yesterday girl And we're just growin' older, we've all been used Now it's time to lose the weight of the world The weight of the world The weight of the world
Back off, Boo-ga-loo, I said, Back off, Boo-ga-loo, come on, Back off, Boo-ga-loo, Boo.
Back off, Boo-ga-loo, What d'yer think you're gonna do I got a flash right from the start.
Wake up, meat head Don't pretend that you are dead Get yourself up off the cart.
Get yourself together now And give me something tasty, Everything you try to do You know it sure sound wasted!
Back off, Boo-ga-loo, I said, Back off, Boo-ga-loo. You think you're a groove Standing there in your wallpapers shoes And your socks that match your eyes
Back off, Boo-ga-loo, I said, Back off, Boo-ga-loo, come on, Back off, Boo-ga-loo, Boo.
In the town where I was born Lived a man who sailed to sea And he told us of his life In the land of submarines
So we sailed up to the sun Till we found the sea green And we played beneath the waves In our yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine A yellow submarine, a yellow submarine We all live in a yellow submarine A yellow submarine, a yellow submarine
And our friends are all aboard Many more of them live next door And the band begins to play
We all live in a yellow submarine A yellow submarine, a yellow submarine We all live in a yellow submarine A yellow submarine, a yellow submarine We all live in a yellow submarine
As we live a life of ease Every one of us has all we need Sky of blue and sea of green In our yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine A yellow submarine, a yellow submarine We all live in a yellow submarine A yellow submarine, a yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine A yellow submarine, a yellow submarine We all live in a yellow submarine A yellow submarine, a yellow submarine

"Thank you!" "I'd like to thank you for coming to see us tonight. Thanks for coming to see us Peace and love, peace and love. If you don't come we're up, we're up here on our own which would be pretty dull. Okay, like to do a...I keep saying I like to do, I like to do, I like to do...ha ha ha... As if I was going to do something else! Okay, and it's called It Don't Come Easy"
이 곡은 라흐마니노프의 피아노 협주곡 2번 2악장의 선율을 사용한 곡인데, 클래식 음악을 팝송에 적용시킨 대표적인 곡으로 꼽히고 있다.
When I was young I never needed anyone and making love was just for fun Those days are gone
Living alone I think of all the friends I've known, but when I dial the telephone nobody's home
All by myself, don't wanna be all by myself any more All by myself, don't wanna live all by myself any more
Hard to be sure, sometimes I feel so insecure
And love so distant and obscure remains the cure . .
내가 젊었을 적에는 아무도 필요치 않았어.사랑도 그저 재미삼아 했었지. 하지만 그런 날들을 이제 가 버렸어. 홀로된 삶을 살며 알고 지내던 친구들을 생각하지만 전화를 해보면 아무도 받지를 않아. 혼자이고 싶지 않아. 더 이상 혼자이고 싶지 않아. 홀로된 삶을 살고 싶지 않아. 더 이상은... 확실하지는 않지만, 때로 불안함이 엄습해 오지. 저 멀리 아련히 보이는 사랑만이 남아 날 치료 해줄 수 있을 뿐... 젊은 시절엔 아무도 필요하지 않았어. 사랑도 그저 재미삼아 했었지. 그런 날들은 이제 가버렸어.
'All By Myself'는 Eric Carmen이 70년대 초반에 'Raspberries'라는 밴드에서 활약하고 있었는데 1975년 셀프 타이틀 데뷔 앨범을 발표하여 빌보드 차트 2위까지 오른 이곡과 함께 'Never gonna fall in love again'이란 곡이 커다란 히트를 기록했었다.
데뷔 앨범 (Eric Carmen)에 수록된 이 노래는 주위의 친구와 연인이 떠난 후 그 외로움을 담고 있는 에릭카멘의 대표곡...
Okay, another one of those songs you all know and love and you all know The words so I want to hear you Louder than the band this time, okay?
Yeah! I said louder than the band this time, okay? Yeah! Thank you! Ha! Ha!
Pretty frightening when you do that! What would you do if I sang out of tune Would you stand up and walk out on me? Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song And I'll try not to sing out of key.
Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends, Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends, Oh, I'm gonna try with a little help from my friends.
What do I do when my love is away? (does it worry you to be alone?) How do I feel at the end of the day? (are you sad because you're on your own?)
No, I get by with a little help from my friends, Mm, I'm get high with a little help from my friends, Oh, I'm gonna try with a little help from my friends.
(do you need anybody?) I need somebody to love. (could it be anybody?) I just want someone to love.
(would you believe in a love at first sight?) Yes, I'm certain that it happens all the time. (what do you see when you turn out the light?) I can't tell you but I know it's mine.
Mm, I get by with a little help from my friends, let me see the figures! High with a little help from my friends, Mm, I'm gonna try with a little help from my friends.
(do you need anybody?) I need somebody to love. (could it be anybody?) I just want someone to love.
Hey! (do you need anybody?) I need somebody to love. (could it be anybody?) I just want someone to love.
(would you believe in a love at first sight?) Certain that it happens all the time. (what do you see when you turn out the light?) I can't tell you but I know it's mine.
Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends, Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends, Oh, I'm gonna try with a little help from my friends. Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends, With a little help from my friends.
Two, one, two, three, four, hey! Hey! Hey! Come on! Okay, you've been such a great audience, I love you all! Don't forget it's peace and love and thank you once again. Thank you and good night! Good night! (By with a little help from my friends) [Repeat: x8]
