Agnes Obel - Island Of Doom

덴마크의 독보적인 싱어송라이터 아그네스 오벨이 독일의 레이블 '도이치 그라모폰'과 만나 정규앨범 <Myopia>를 발매하게 된다.

Island Of Doom 은 이 앨범에 수록된 곡으로 상실을 노래한다.

 

 

평소 구독하던 도이치 그라모폰에서 언젠가부터 아그네스 오벨 이라는 아티스트를 소개해주기 시작했고,

그에 따라 나는 자연스럽게 아그네스 오벨의 음악을 접하게 되었다.

잔혹 동화를 연상케 하는 신비로운 목소리와 몽환적인 분위기가 내 이목을 끌어당겼다.

 

 

 

 

 

 "음악은 내가 누구인지, 혹은 내가 어디에 있는지를 명백하게 표현해준다. 외부와 차단된 자신만의 소우주에서 만들어낸 가사와 이야기가 뒤얽힌 산물이 바로 음악이라고 믿는다” - 아그네스 오벨

 

 

 

Island Of Doom 가사:

 

 

 

 

 

Destiny made her way and found you in a room,

They told me, they told me:

To undo the rule of mind and body,

And nature laughed away as their voices grew.

They told me, They told me:

“Clean out the room and bury the body”.

 

But I know you with a heartbeat So how does the night feel?

When the lights fade out

When the lights fade out

When the lights fade out

But now it’s gone, it’s gone, it’s gone.

But now it’s gone, it’s gone, it’s gone.

 

“Haven’t walked for days though I wanted to”

You told me, you told me:

“For with every move the feeling follows”,

“In nature’s empty face, I am of little use”,

You told me, you told me:

“I’m just another fool for the earth to swallow”.

 

But the road through mines will lead you back,

and I will be with you

Before the road of your mind will eat you up,

on your island of doom

Where the voices have all gathered up,

to a choir of fools

But I know my mind will reach you there,

and I will be with you.

 

Oh I know you with a heartbeat

So how does the night feel?

When the lights fade out

When the lights fade out

When the lights fade out

And now it’s gone, it’s gone, it’s gone

And now it’s gone, it’s gone, it’s gone.

Why you wake me up today?

Why you wake me up today?

One two three four five.
