*타이틀 넘버인 "song for my father"는 불가사의한 존재감을 지닌 곡이다,리듬의 바탕을 한 보사노바인데 묵직하고 어두운 색 필터가 끼어있어 당시 유행했던 스탄게츠의 세련되고 도회적인 보사노바와는 분위기가 달랐다,아버지는 포르투칼 출신의 흑인,호레이스가 어렸을적 곧잘 동네 사람들은 악기를 들고 자기들끼리 모여 세션을 했다고 한다,그당시를 생각하며 이곡을 썼다고한다,그런 정겨운 뒷골목 냄새가 음악 구석구석에 푸근하게 베여있다,하드 밥도 아니고 펑키도 아닌 호레이스 실버의 개인적인 세계가 선명하게,조금은 신비스럽게 전개된다,멜로디는 뚝뚝 끊어지지만 꽤깊은 곡이다. +무라카미 하루키/재즈 에세이中~
Ladies and Gentlemen As you know we have something special for you At Birdland this evening A recording for Blue Note Records
Yeah, yeah, yeah - what's that? Diddi-diddi bop Funky funky - yeah yeah - diddi-diddi bop How 'bout a big hand now? Wait, wait a minute
Groovy groovy Jazzy funky pounce bounce dance As we dip in the melodic sea The rhythm keeps flowin, it drips to MC Sweet sugar pop, sugar pop rocks it pops ya Dont stop till the sweet beat drops I show and prove as a stick in move Hear the poems recited on top of the groove Smooth, mind, floating like a butterfly Notes start to float, suttle like a lullabye Brace yourself as the beat hits ya Dip trip, flip fantasia
Feel the beat, drop, jazz and hip hop Drippin in the dome and mix is on the lock Funk and fusion, a fly illusion Keeps ya coastin on the river we cruisin Up down round and round, round the found But nevertheless ya gots to get down Finesse the freak, thru the beat so unique Ya move your feet, the sweat from the heat
Back to the fact I'm the mack and I know that The way I kick the rhymes, some would call me a poet Funky flowin goin on with the sweet sound Caught in the groove in Fantasia I'm found Trip the tour upon the rhymes they soar To an infinite height to the realm of the hardcore Here we go off I take ya Dip trip - flip fantasia
Jump to the jam, boogy woogy jam slam Bust the dialect I'm the man in command Come flow with the sounds of the mighty mic masta When I rhyme on the mic I bring a sucka disasta Beaucoup bucks and I still rock Nike With the razzle dazzle star I might be Scribble scrabble on the microphone I babble As I flip the funky words, into a puzzle Yes yes yes, on and on as I flex Get with the flow words manifest Feel the vibe from here to Asia Dip trip - flip fantasia
I don't know why I didn't come I left you by the house of fun I don't know why I didn't come I don't know why I didn't come
When I saw the break of day I wished that I could fly away Instead of kneeling in the sand Catching teardrops in my hand
My heart is drenched in wine But you'll be on my mind Forever
Out across the endless sea I would die in ecstasy But I'll be a bag of bones Driving down the road along
My heart is drenched in wine But you'll be on my mind Forever
Something has to make you run I don't know why I didn't come I feel as empty as a drum I don't know why I didn't come I don't know why I didn't come I don't know why I didn't come
Some day my prince will come Some day I'll find my love
Some day some day I say some day my prince will come Some day some day
Some day my prince will come Some day I'll find my love And how thrilling that moment will be, When the prince of my dreams comes to me
He'll whisper "I love you" And steal a kiss or two Though he's far away I'll find my love some day Some day when my dreams come true, come true.
Some day Some day my prince will come Some day some day
Some day I'll find my love Someone to call my own And I'll know him the moment we meet, moment we meet For my heart will be skipping a beat
Some day we'll say and do All the things we've been longing to Though he's far away I'll find my love some day Some day when my dreams come true
He's somewhere waiting for me There is someone I'm longing to see Someone I simply can't help but adore Someone who thrills me forever more
Some day some day I said I'm gonna find my love some day Some day some day I said I'm gonna find my love my love some day Some day some day I said some day I'm gonna find my love Some day some day I said he's out there waiting for me Some day some day I said some day Some day some day Oh no no no no no no
Some day some day I said some day my prince is Some day some day He'll whisper "I love you" Some day some day I said he's somewhere waiting for me Some day some day I said he's gonna come baby to me Some day some day -
