노래가 하고 싶어 아직도 피가 끓는 포효하는 백 호랑이 임재범! “나는 가수다”에서 “너를 위해””여러분”으로 마음의 “빈잔” 을 가득 채워주었던 가수! 임재범! 그가 2011년 한 해를 마무리하며 한 해 동안의 사랑에 보답하는 리메이크 앨범 [풀이(Free…)]를 들고 “바람에 실려” 우리 곁으로 왔다.
이번 앨범은 가요와 POP을 함께 실은 2CD 리메이크 앨범으로 앨범 타이틀에 맞게 “그가 부르고 싶었던 노래” 그리고 “그가 사랑했던 노래”라는 테마로 구성되어져 있는 음반이다.
CD1 “그가 부르고 싶었던 노래 “ 에 수록된 곡들을 보면 .. “나는 가수다“에서 기라성 같은 선배가수들의 역작을 그 만의 색깔로 편곡하여 대한민국 7080세대 뿐 아니라 젊은 층 에게 까지 큰 감동과 돌풍을 일으켰던 남진의“빈잔”, 윤복희의 ”여러분”을 이번 앨범에서는 미국 노키아(NOKIA) 극장 Live 공연 7,000석 매진의 뜨거웠던 열기와 감동을 그 대로 전하기 위해 LIVE 버전으로 수록하였다.
또한 요즘 “나는 가수다 “에서 활약하고 있는 한때 한솥밥을 먹었던 후배 바비 킴 의 “ 사랑 그놈 ”을 그만의 애절하고 호소력 깊은 음색으로 불렀으며, 녹음을 하면서 “사랑..그놈”이게 바비 거야? “ 그놈 참! 어리게만 봤는데 이제 가수 다 됐네! 라고 농담을 던져 주변을 웃음바다로 만들었다는 후배 사랑의 에피소드가 있던 곡이다.
통기타 하나로 시적인 가사와 아름다운 멜로디가 인상적 이었던 선배가수 양희은의 “아침이슬”을 단 한번의 더빙으로 불러 주위를 놀라게 하였으며, 그만의 힘있는 목소리와 애절함 으로 절묘하게 조화를 이룰 수 있게 만들어 ,곡을 듣는 팬들에게 또 다른 추억과 감동을 선사 할 것이다. 그 외 시대를 초월한 명곡들인 음악천재 “고 김정호”의 역작 “이름 모를 소녀”날이 갈수록”과 세월을 노래하는 가수 임창재의 “얼굴”역시 그만의 색깔로 재 편곡되어 수록 되어 있다.
CD2 “그가 사랑하는 노래 ” 에서는.. “딥퍼플,이글스,알란파슨스 프로젝트,엘튼존,유라이어 힙,유리스 믹스,등 세대를 초월해 전세계인들의 사랑을 받은 뮤지션 들의 곡들을 그만의 감성코드로 채웠다. 작은 CD 원반 하나에 세대차이의 국경을 허물 음악들로 곡들이 채워져 있다고 해도 과언이 아니다.
영국의 전설적인 Rock 밴드 ”Deep Purple"의 ”Soldier of Fortune“ 과 미국 Rock 밴드의 모토인“Eagles"의 ”Desperado“ 를 UC버클리대학 강연”에서 기립박수를 받았던 생생했던 기억의 LIVE버전으로 담았으며, 영국의 음유시인 이자 싱어송 라이터Sting 의 “Shape of My Heart” 역시 LIVE 버전으로 “미국 노키아(NOKIA) 극장 공연의 뜨거운 환호와 감동 그대로 담아냈다.
또한 너무나 유명한 음악으로 2인조 혼성 팝 밴드 Eurythmics 의 ”Sweet Dream”을 미국 현지 오캐스트라의 파워플한 연주와 , 명품 기타사운드로 재무장해 원곡보다 더 쇼킹한 에너지를 전달할 만큼 강렬하게 재탄생 되었다. 그 외 Uriah Heep의 명곡 "Rain“ 과 영국팝 의 대부 Elton John의 "Don,t let the sun go down on me“ The Hollies의 "He ain,t heavey he,s my brother”경쾌한 펑키 리듬이 듣는 이의 귀를 확 사로잡는 Tom Jones의 “KiSS” James Ingram의“Just once” 까지 주옥 같은 명곡들이 마치 과거로 돌아간 듯한 추억을 불러 일으킨다.
그가 심혈을 기울여 만든 이번 리메이크 음반 “Free…”는 한마디로 세상에 나온 거인 임재범이 그만의 음악 세계를 자유롭운 시선으로 재해석한 편안하고 행복한 앨범이다. .... ....
풀잎에 연 이슬처럼 빛나던 눈동자 동그랗게 동그랗게 맴돌다 가는 얼굴 동그라미 그리려다 무심코 그린 얼굴 무지개 따라 올라갔던 오색빛 하늘 아래 구름속에 나비처럼 날으던 지난날 동그랗게 동그랗게 맴돌다 가는 얼굴 동그랗게 동그랗게 맴돌다 가는 얼굴 동그랗게 동그랗게 맴돌다 가는 얼굴 맴돌다 가는 얼 굴
긴 밤 지세 우고 풀잎마다 맺힌 진주보다 더 고운 아침이슬 처럼 내 맘에 설움이 알알이 맺힐 때 아침동산에 올라 작은 미소를 배운다. 태양은 묘지 위에 붉게 떠오르고 한낮에 찌는 더위는 나의 시련일지라. 나 이제 가노라. 저 거친 광야에 서러움 모두 버리고 나 이제 가노라. 내 맘의 설움이 알알이 맺힐 때 아침 동산에 올라 작은 미소를 배운다. 태양은 묘지 위에 붉게 떠오르고 한낮에 찌는 더위는 나의 시련일지라. 나 이제 가노라. 저 거친 광야에 서러움 모두 버리고 나 이제 가노라.
늘 혼자 사랑하고 혼자 이별하고 늘 혼자 추억하고 혼자 무너지고 사랑이란 놈 그 놈 앞에서 언제나 난 늘 빈털털일뿐
늘 혼자 외면하고 혼자 후회하고 늘 휘청거리면서 아닌척을 하고 사랑이란 놈 그놈 앞에서 언제나 난 늘 웃음 꺼릴뿐 사랑해 널 사랑해 불러도 대답없는 멜로디 가슴이 멍들고 맘에 문은 멀어도 다시 또 발길은 그 자리로 사랑해 또 사랑해 제멋대로 왔다가 자기 마음대로 떠나간다 왔을 때 처럼 아무말도 없이 떠나간다
늘 기억 땜에 살고 추억에 울어도 늘 너를 잊었다고 거짓말을 해도 숨을 삼키듯 맘을 삼키고 그저 웃으며 손을 흔든다 사랑해 널 사랑해 목이 메여 불러도 너는 듣지 못할 그 한 마디 고개 떨구며 사랑앞에 난 또 서 있다 사랑해 널 사랑해 ~ 제 멋대로 왔다가 자기 마음대로 떠나가고 왔을 때처럼 아무 말도 없이 떠나가도~ 모른 척 해도 날 잊는 대도 사랑은 다시 또 온다 사랑은 다시 또 온다
그대의 싸늘한 눈가에 고이는 이슬이 아름다워 하염없이 바라보네 내 마음도 따라 우네 가여운 나의 여인이여 외로운 사람끼리 아 만나서 그렇게 또 정이 들고 어차피 인생은 빈 술잔 들고 취하는 것 그대여 나머지 설움은 나의 빈잔 을 채워줘 아~ 그대의 싸늘한 눈가에 고이는 이슬이 아름다워 하염없이 바라보네 내 마음도 따라 우네 가여운 나의 여인이여 외로운 사람끼리 아 만나서 그렇게 또 정이 들고 어차피 인생은 빈 술잔 들고 취하는 것 그대여 나머지 설움은 나의 빈잔 을 채워줘 나의 빈잔을 채워줘 나의 빈잔을 채워줘 아~

I did my best But i guess my best wasn't good enough 'Cause here we are back where we were before Seems nothing ever changes We're back to being strangers Wond'ring if we ought to stay or head on out the door
Just once Can we figure out What we keep doin' wrong Why we never last for very long What are we doing wrong Just Once Can't we find a way to fin'lly make it right To make the magic last for more than just one night If we could just get to it I know we could break thru it
I gave my all But I think my all may have been too much Cause Lord knows We're not getting anywhere Seems we're always blowin Whatever we've got going And it seems at times with all we've got We haven't got a prayer
Just Once Can't we figure out what we keep doin' wrong Why the good times never last for long Where are we going wrong
Just once Can't we find a way to fin'lly make it right To make the magic last more than just one night I know we could break thru' it If we could just get to it Just Once I want to understand Why it always comes back to goodbye Why can't we get ourselves in hand And admit to one another We're no good without each other Take the best and make it better Find a way to stay together Just once Can't we find a way to finally make it right To make the magic last for more than just one night I know we could break thru it If we could just get to it Just once OH~ We can get to it Just once

It`s raining outside but that`s not unusual But the way that I`m feeling Is becoming usual I guess you could say The clouds moving away A way from your days and into mine
Now it`s raining inside And that`s kind of a shame And it`s getting to me A happy man why should you want to waste all my time The world is yours But I am mine Rain Rain Rain In my tears Measuring carefully My years Shame shame shame In my mind See what you`ve done to my life Rain Rain Rain In my tears Measuring carefully My years Shame shame shame In my mind See what you`ve done to my life
You don't have to be beautiful / To turn me on I just need your body baby / From dusk till dawn You don't need experience / To turn me out You just leave it all up to me / I'll show you what it's all about You don't have to be rich / to be my girl You don't have to be cool / to rule my world Ain't no particular sign / I'm more compatible with I just want your extra time and your KISS You got to not talk dirty baby / If you wanna impress me You can't be too flirty mama / I know how to undress me let me be your fantasy / Maybe, you could be mine You just leave it all up to me / We could have a real good time
You don't have to be rich / to be my girl You don't have to be cool / to rule my world Ain't no particular sign / I'm more compatible with I just want your extra time and your KISS think I,d better dance now..... Women and girls, rule my world / I said they rule my world Act your age mama / not your shoe size Maybe we could do the twirl You don't have to watch Dynasty / To have an attitude You just leave it all up to me / My love will be your food You don't have to be rich / to be my girl You don't have to be cool / to rule my world Ain't no particular sign / I'm more compatible with, I just want your extra time and your kiss
He deals the cards as a meditation And those he plays never suspect He doesn't play for the money he wins He doesn't play for respect
He deals the cards to find the answer The sacred geometry of chance The hidden law of a probable outcome The numbers lead the dance
I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier I know that the clubs are weapons of war I know that diamonds mean money for this art That's not the Shape of My Heart He may play the jack of diamonds He may lay the queen of spades He may conceal a king in his hand While the memory of it fades
I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier I know that the clubs are weapons of war I know that diamonds mean money for this art That's not the Shape of My Heart That's not the Shape ~ Shape of My Heart And if I told you that I loved you You maybe think there's something wrong I'm not a man of too many faces The mask I wear is one Those who speak know nothing And find out to their cost Like those who curse their luck in too many places And those who fear are lost I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier I know that the clubs are weapons of war I know that diamonds mean money for this art That's not the Shape of My Heart *2 That's not the Shape ~ Shape of My Heart
I can′t light no more of your darkness All my pictures seem to fade to black and white I′′m growing tired and time stands still before me Frozen here on the ladder of my life
Too late to save myself from falling I took a chance and changed your way of life But you misread my meaning when I met you Closed the door and left me blinded by the light
Don′′t let the sun go down on me Although I search myself it′′s always someone else I see I′d just allow a fragment of your life to wander free But losing everything is like the sun going down on me
I can′′t find, oh the right romantic line But see me once and see the way I feel
Don′′t discard me just because you think I mean you harm But these cuts I have oh they need love to help them heal
Don′′t let the sun go down on me Although I search myself it′′s always someone else I see I′d just allow a fragment of your life to wander free But losing everything is like the sun going down on me
Don′′t let the sun go down on me Although I search myself it′′s always someone else I see I′d just allow a fragment of your life to wander free But losing everything is like the sun going down on me

I have often told you stories About the way I lived the life of a drifter Waiting for the day When I'd take your hand And sing you songs Then maybe you would say Come lay with me and love me And I would surely stay But I feel I'm growing older And the songs that I have sung Echo in the distance Like the sound Of a windmill goin' 'round I guess I'll always be A soldier of fortune Many times I've been a traveller I looked for something new In days of old When nights were cold I wandered without you But those days I thought my eyes Had seen you standing near Tho' blindness is confusing It shows that you're not here Now I feel I'm growing older And the songs that I have sung Echo in the distance Like the sound Of a windmill goin' 'round I guess I'll always be A soldier of fortune Yes, I can hear the sound Of a windmill goin' 'round I guess I'll always be A soldier of fortune I guess I'll always be A soldier of fortune
Oceans apart day after day And I slowly go insane I hear your voice on the line But it doesn't stop the pain If I see you next to never How can we say forever Wherever you go Whatever you do I will be right here waiting for you Whatever it takes Or how my heart breaks I will be right here waiting for you
I took for granted, all the times That I thought would last somehow I hear the laughter, I taste the tears But I can't get near you now
Oh, can't you see it baby You've got me goin' crazy Wherever you go Whatever you do I will be right here waiting for you Whatever it takes Or how my heart breaks I will be right here waiting for you
I wonder how we can survive This romance But in the end if I'm with you I'll take the chance
Oh, can't you see it baby You've got me goin' crazy Wherever you go Whatever you do I will be right here waiting for you Whatever it takes Or how my heart breaks I will be right here waiting for you Waiting for you
Oh thinkin' about all our younger years There was only you and me We were young and wild and free
Now nothin' can take you away from me We bin down that road before But that's over now You keep me comin' back for more
Baby you're all that I want When you're lyin' here in my arms I'm findin' it hard to believe We're in heaven And love is all that I need And I found it there in your heart It isn't too hard to see We're in heaven
Oh once in your life you find someone Who will turn your world around Bring you up when you're feelin' down
Ya nothin' could change what you mean to me Oh there's lots that I could say But just hold me now Cause our love will light the way
N' baby you're all that I want When you're lyin' here in my arms I'm findin' it hard to believe We're in heaven And love is all that I need And I found it there in your heart It isn't too hard to see We're in heaven
I've bin waitin' for so long For something to arrive For love to come along
Now our dreams are comin' true Through the good times and the bad Ya I'll be standin' there by you N' baby you're all that I want When you're lyin' here in my arms I'm findin' it hard to believe We're in heaven And love is all that I need And I found it there in your heart It isn't too hard to see We're in heaven heaven oh~
Desperado why don't you come to your senses You've been out ridin' fences for so long now Oh, you're a hard one I know that you got your reasons These things that are pleasin' you Can hurt you somehow.
Don't you draw the queen of diamonds, boy She'll beat you if she's able You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet.
Now it seems to me, some fine things. Have been laid upon your table But you only want the ones that you can't get.
Desperado oh, you ain't gettin' no younger Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home And freedom, oh freedom well, that's just some people talkin' Your prison is walking through this world all alone
Don't your feet get cold in the winter time The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine It's hard to tell the night time from the day You're loosin' all your highs and lows Ain't it funny how the feeling goes away
Desperado why don't you come to your senses Come down from your fences, open the gate It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you You better let somebody love you (let somebody love you) You better Let somebody love you before it's too late
