Bill Withers의 노래 Ain't No Sunshine, 그리고 영화 노팅힐(1999)
노팅힐 Notting Hill (1999)
블로거 Deborah님의 포스팅 '외로움을 노래한 곡들'에 소개된 노래들을 듣다가 문득 Bill Withers의 노래 Ain't No Sunshine가 떠올랐습니다. 이 노래를 들을 때마다 저는 영화 '노팅힐 Notting Hill(1999)'에 나오던 런던의 거리가 떠오릅니다. '노팅힐'은 런던의 노팅힐에서 작은 책방을 운영하는 평범한 서점 주인 휴 그랜트와 세계적으로 유명한 배우로 나오는 줄리아 로버츠의 사랑을 다룬 로맨틱 코미디 영화였는데, 휴 그랜트가 줄리아 로버츠와의 짧은 만남 이후 방황하는 장면에서 나온 노래가 'Ain't No Sunshine'입니다.
Ain't No Sunshine
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
It's not warm when she's away
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And she's always gone too long
Anytime she goes away
Wonder this time where she's gone
Wonder if she's gone to stay
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't no home
Anytime she goes away
And I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know,
Hey, I oughtta leave young thing alone
But ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Only darkness every day
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't no home
Anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away
원래는 'Ain't No Sunshine'만 포스팅하고 끝내려고 했는데, 영화 '노팅힐'에 사용된 노래 몇 곡이 더 생각나서 끄적여봅니다.
1993년에 결성해서 이제는 50대를 바라보는 중년의 아저씨들이 되어버린 아일랜드의 보이밴드인 보이존(Boyzone)의 'No Matter What'입니다.
No Matter What
No matter what they tell us
No matter what they do
No matter what they teach us
What we believe is true
No matter what they call us
However they attack
No matter where they take us
We'll find our own way back
I can't deny what I believe
I can't be what I'm not
I know I'll love forever
I know no matter what
If only tears were laughter
If only night was day
If only prayers were answered
Then we would hear God say
No matter what they tell us
No matter what they do
No matter what they teach us
What we believe is true
And I will keep you safe and strong
And shelter from the storm
No matter where it's barren
A dream is being born
No matter who they follow
No matter where they lead
No matter how they judge us
I'll be everyone you need
No matter if the sun don't shine
Or if the skies are blue
No matter what the end is
My life began with you
I can't deny what I believe
I can't be what I'm not
I know, I know
I know this love's forever
That's all that matters now
No matter what
영화의 주제곡인 엘비스 코스텔로 Elvis Costello의 노래 'She'도 좋아하는 노래 중 하나입니다. 영화의 후반부에 줄리아 로버츠의 기자회견장에 휴 그랜트가 찾아간 것을 본 줄리아 로버츠가 환하게 웃으며 흘러나오는 장면과 함께 흘러나오는 엘비스 코스텔로의 목소리가 인상적이었던 노래였습니다.
SHE
She may be the face I can't forget
The trace of pleasure or regret
May be my treasure or the price I have to pay
She may be the song that summer sings
Maybe the chill that autumn brings
Maybe a hundred different things
Within the measure of a day
She may be the beauty or the beast
May be the famine or the feast
May turn each day into a Heaven or a Hell
She may be the mirror of my dreams
A smile reflected in a stream
She may not be what she may seem
Inside her shell
She, who always seems so happy in a crowd
Whose eyes can be so private and so proud
No one's allowed to see them when they cry
She may be the love that cannot hope to last
May come to me from shadows in the past
That I remember 'till the day I die
She maybe the reason I survive
The why and wherefore I'm alive
The one I'll care for through the rough in many years
Me, I'll take her laughter her tears
And make them all my souvenirs
And where she goes I've got to be
The meaning of my life is
She, she
Oh, she
아일랜드의 팝, 락 가수인 로넌 키팅 Ronan Keating의 "When You Say Nothing At All"도 이 영화에 OST였던 노래입니다. 원곡은 Keith Whitley의 노래인데, 영화에서는 로넌 키팅 Ronan Keating이 불렀습니다.
When You Say Nothing at All
It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart
Without saying a word, you can light up the dark
Try as I may I could never explain
What I hear when you don't say a thing
The smile on your face let's me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if wherever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all
All day long I can hear people talking out loud
But when you hold me near, you drown out the crowd
Try as they may they can never define
What's being said between your heart and mine
The smile on your face let's me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if wherever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all
The smile on your face let's me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if wherever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all
올해가 1999년이니 영화가 만들어진지 벌써 20년이나 지났네요. 영화가 나온지 몇 년 된 것 같지도 않은데 세월은 참 빠르게도 흘러갑니다.
