"느림씨어터 저놈, 맨날 eclectic한 척하면서 지 좋아하는 대중적이지 않은 쓸데없는 노래만 올려" 라는 분이 계실지도.. 오늘은 그런 분들까지도 만족할 만한 노래입니다.
가사 When I watch you, wanna do you, right where you're standing...yeah
Right on the foyer, on this dark day, right in plain view...oh, yeah
Of the whole ghetto, the boot-stomped meadows, but we ignore that, yeah
You're lovely baby, this war is crazy, I won't let you down...oh, no no...
No, I won't let them take you, won't let them take you...Hell, no no...
Oh, no…I won't let them take you, won't let them take you...Hell, no no...
No, oh no, no, no...
And when our city vast and shitty falls to the Axis, yeah...
They'll search the buildings, collect gold fillings, wallets, and rings...oh, yeah
But Miss Black Eyeliner, you'd look finer with each day in hiding, oh yeah
Beneath the wormwood, ooooo, love me so good...
They won't hear us screw away the day
I'll make you say:
“Alive! Alive! Alive with love, alive with love tonight...”
“Alive! Alive! Alive with love, alive with love tonight...”
(No, I won't let them take you, won't let them take you...Hell, no no...
Whoa, no...I won't let them take you, won't let them take you...Hell, no no...)
Our Treblinka is alive with the glory of love...
Treblinka, alive with the glory of love! Yeah!
(Okay, speed it up...Go!)
Should they catch us and dispatch us to those separate work camps
I'll dream about you, I will not doubt you with the passing of time...Oh, yeah
Should they kill me, your love will fill me as warm as the bullets, yeah
I'll know my purpose: this war was worth this
I won't let you down
No, I won’t
No, I won’t
No, I won’t
(Alive! Alive! Alive with love, alive with love tonight...)
Hell no, no..Whoa, no, I won't let them take you, won't let them take you..Hell, no, no
No! No!

Say Anything은 2001년에 결성되어 2004년에 정규 1집
...Is a Real Boy를 낸 pop punk 밴드인데, 밴드라고는 하지만 사실 거의 보컬/프론트맨 Max Bemis가 앞장서서 활동하는 개인 프로젝트에 가깝다. 상당수의 pop punk는 그 독창성 없는 단순무식함을 자랑처럼 내세우는 스타일이 귀에 거슬려서인지 이 장르를 그다지 즐겨 듣는 편은 아니지만, Say Anything의 음악에는 뭔가 끌리는, 그리고 계속 듣고 싶어지는, 마력이 있다. 사실 당연한 얘기지만, 같은 장르 안에서도 songwriting과 편곡의 능력차이에 따라 음악이 판이하게 달라지는 것 같다고 새삼 깨달은 척이 하고 싶어지는 밤이다.
곡은 1집에서 첫 싱글로 내세웠던
Alive with the Glory of Love. 홀로코스트 와중에 미친듯이
섹스사랑에 빠져 있는 Jewish 사람들의 이야기이다.
