Up On The Downside - Ocean Colour Scene
Nobody hears a word you say
복고풍의 감성적인 발라드 의 Ocean Colour Scene 곡중 우리에게 가장 대중적으로알려진 곡 . 가 97년 3집, 이 곡은 2001년 4번째 앨범 [ONE FROM THE MODERN]에 수록되어 있다.
Blur와 Oasis에 이은 브릿팝의 차세대 주자로 각광받기도 했다. 무엇보다도 소박함이 풍기는 연주와 쉬운 멜로디가 오션 컬러 씬을 돋보이게 했는데 이 곡 역시 5분여의 러닝타임동안 아무 부담없이 물흐르듯 즐길 수 있다. 쿵짝거리는 기타의 귀여움이 미소짓게 만든다.(그에 비해 노랫말엔 꽤나 진지함이 깃들어있다)
This England made me,
Between a war and a rocket span,
You've found a crib it saves me,
And teach me wrong and right,
And the world was talking,
Never got it's chance to say,
When there's too much talking,
Nobody hears a word you say
You won't see,
And baby now I won't hear,
It's blind communications,
Only lasts throughout the year,
And half of what we're saying,
Is half-way to the truth,
It's blind communications,
For a million hearts and fools
I am a witness,
To a land of a million fools,
All placing bets on life,
They hate the ones who lose,
And all the lonely,
Never get the chance to say,
That the one and only,
Will be the chance to even play
Hello Monday,
The weekend's just a blur,
I've been burning bridges,
And now I'm begging at your door,
So keep on working,
Cos it's a chance for me to play,
But too much talking,
When you believe the words I say
You won't see,
And baby now I won't hear,
It's blind communications,
Only lasts throughout the year,
And half of what we're saying,
Is half-way to the truth,
It's blind communications,
For a million hearts and fools...
