브리티쉬 록 레전드 Richard and Linda Thompson의 아들로도 잘알려진 신세대 포크 아이콘 Teddy Thompson의 신작 [Upfront & Down Low]!!! 사운드트랙 "브로크백 마운틴"과 데뷰작 "Separate Ways"로 일약 스타덤에 오른 그의 이번 신작은 전작에서 보여줬던 컨템포러리 포크록에서 다소 벗어나 루트록에 가까운 컨츄리 사운드를 과감히 시도하여 눈길을 끌고 있다. 크리스 아이삭이 선보였던 흥겨운 루트 록앤롤풍의 "You Finally Said Something Good (When You Said Goodbye)"와 차분한 분위기로 전작의 분위기를 살린 "Down Low" 다양한 스트링 악기를로 구성된 블루그라스넘버 "Walking the Floor Over You"등 총 12곡 수록! .... ....
Well, I guess you must have had a change of heart You don't treat me like you did at the start Your campaign of love was quite a work of art Now I guess you must have had a change of heart
Guess, I took too much for granted anyway But it's just 'cause I'd believe those things you'd say Not so long ago you swore we'd never part Now I guess you must have had a change of heart
So goodbye to all those castles in the air And goodbye to all those plans we used to share They were fragments of a dream that fell apart Now they're gone because you had a change of heart They're all gone because you had a change of heart
Just because I ask a friend about her Just because I spoke her name somewhere Just because I rang her number by mistake today She thinks I still care
Just because I haunt the same old places Where the memories of her linger everywhere Just because I'm not the happy guy I used to be She thinks I still care
But if she's happy thinkin' I still need her Well let that silly notion bring her cheer But how could she ever be so foolish Ah, where would she get such an idea
Just because I ask a friend about her Just because I spoke her name somewhere Just because I saw her then went all to pieces She thinks I still care, she thinks I still care
In every other song that I've heard lately Some fellow gets shot And his baby and his best friend both die with him As likely as not
In half of the other songs some cats cryin' Well I wish I could die Lost most of our happy people I'ma wonderin' why
Let's think about livin', let's think about lovin' Let's think about the hoopin' and the hoppin' And the boppin' and the lovey, lovey dovin'
Let's forget about the whinin' The cryin', the shootin' and the dyin' The fellow with the switch blade knife Let's think about livin', let's think about life
We lost ol' Marty Bobbins Down in El Paso a hile back And now Miss Patty Page or one of them Is a wearin' black
And Cathy's Clown has Don and Phil Where they feel like they could die If we keep on a losin' our singers like that I'll be the only one you can buy
Let's think about livin', let's think about lovin' Let's think about the hoopin' and the hoppin' And the boppin' and the lovey, lovey dovin'
Let's forget about the whinin' The cryin', the shootin' and the dyin' The fellow with the switch blade knife Let's think about livin', let's think about life
Let's think about livin', let's think about lovin' Let's think about the hoopin' and the hoppin' And the boppin' and the lovey, lovey dovin'
Let's forget about the whinin' The cryin', the shootin' and the dyin' The fellow with the switch blade knife Let's think about livin', let's think about life Let's think about livin', let's think about life
