ANOTHER TIME
Where have you been to?
Where did you go?
Did you follow the Summer out
When The Windter pushed its face
In the snow?
Or have you come by again
To die again?
Try again another time
Did you follow the Crystal Swan?
Did you see yourself
Depp inside the Velvet Pond?
Or have you come by again
To die again?
Try again another time
When you set to shape the world
Was the shape the shape of You?
Or did you cast enchanting glance
Thru the Eye that all men use?
Or have you come by again
To die again?
Try again another time
Did you find that the Universe
Doesn't care at all?
Did you find that if you don't care
This whole wrong world will fall?
Or have you come by again
To die again?
Try again another time
Did you ever capture
All those jewels in the sky?
Did you find that the world outside
Is all inside your mind?
Or have you come by again
To die again
Try again another time

右に歌詞を記した ANOTHER
TIME は 1st Album の出だしの曲で、実はこれが Tom Rapp の最初に書いた曲だそうである。彼のインタビューを載せておこう。
I was in an Austin Healy Sprite convertible, I
was the passenger. The car missed a curve and went off into the service
road. I was thrown out. The car flipped over, the windshield was in a tree
about a hundred yards away. I had a little scrape on my elbow and that's
it! I suddenly realized, standing in the road and this came to me (honest
to God) is that the universe doesn't care at all. I built the first song
around that.
つまり偶然はちあわせた自動車事故から幸福にも命を拾った彼は、突然宇宙の中で一人立っている自分自身を感じたというところか．．．（車に乗ってた人はどうなったかも多少気にはなるが）
とにかく小さなレコード会社から発売されたこのアルバムは、それでも2500枚程は売れたようで、すくなからず彼らを当時のカウンターカルチャーの世界に紹介する事となる。

ちなみに最近手に入れたこのＣＤではどうも昔聞いたアナログＬＰとは感触が違うのだが、その浮遊感は多少は感じられる。（デジタルとは一番相性のよくない音といえるかもしれない）そのあやふやさは、それでも歌うという心地よさはとどめていてくれている。（でも早くアナログ・プレーヤーを手にいれなければ．．．） |
