今回紹介するのは

Jimmy Eat Worldというバンド

日本でもCMのおかげで結構有名なので

曲を聴いたら知ってる人も多いかもしれません



アメリカのバンドですが

ここイギリスでも人気があって

今回紹介する曲はみんなで大合唱でした


Sweetnessという曲です



歌詞↓


Are you listening. (Whoa,oh,oh,oh,oh,oh)
Sing it back. (Ah,oh,oh,oh,oh,oh)

String from your tether unwinds.
(string from your tether unwinds, uh oh, uh oh)
Up and outward to bind
(Up and outward to bind, uh oh, uh oh)
I was spinning free (Whoa,oh,oh,oh,oh,oh)
with a little sweet and simple numbing me

Are you listening? (Whoa,oh,oh,oh,oh,oh)
Sing it back. (Ah,oh,oh,oh,oh,oh)
So tell me what do I need (tell me what do I need, uh oh, uh oh)
When words lose their meaning (When words lose their meaning)
I was spinning free (Whoa,oh,oh,oh,oh,oh)
with a little sweet and simple numbing me
Yeah, stumble until you crawl (Whoa,oh,oh,oh,oh,oh)
Sinking into sweet uncertainty

Are you listening? Are you listening?
If you're listening (Whoa,oh,oh,oh,oh,oh)
If you're listening, Are you listening?
Sing it back (Ah,oh,oh,oh,oh,oh)
If you're listening, Are you listening?
I'm still running away
I'm still running away, uh oh, uh oh
Won't play your hide and seek game.
I was spinning free (Whoa,oh,oh,oh,oh,oh)
with a little sweet and simple numbing me.
What a dizzy dance (whoa,oh,oh,oh,oh,oh)
This sweetness will not be concerned with me.
No the sweetness will not be concerned with me.


聞いているなら 歌い返してくれ
緩められた君を繋いでいる糸が 縛るために外へと上がっていく
僕はそれを自由に紡ぐことができた
その甘さに痺れながら

聞いているかい? 歌い返してくれ
何が必要か言ってくれ
言葉が意味を失う前に
僕は自由に紡ぐことができた
その甘さに痺れながら
君がゆっくりと這って動くまでよろめいているんだ
予測のつかない甘みに沈むんだ

聞いているかい? 聞いているかい?
もし聞いているなら 歌い返してくれ
僕はまだ逃げ続けている 逃げ続けているんだ
君のかくれんぼには付き合いたくないんだ
僕は自由に紡ぐことができた
その甘さに痺れながら
なんて目眩がするダンスなんだ
この甘さは僕には関係ない 関係ないんだ


このバンドは

正直全然知らなかった

だけどすごく独特だったな

いままでロックやポップのある意味王道の音楽が続いてきたから

まさかここで金管楽器が登場するとは思ってませんでした



あまり知らないということで

説明も短いですが

曲はとても良いです


MadnessというバンドでEmbarrassmentという曲です





歌詞↓


Received a letter just the other day,
Don't seem they wanna know you no more,
They've laid it down given you their score,
Within the first two lines it bluntly read.
You're not to come and see us no more,
Keep away from our door,
Don't come 'round here no more
What on earth did you do that for?
Our aunt, she don't wanna know she says,
What will the neighbours think they'll think,
We don't that's what they'll think, we don't,
But I will, 'cause I know they think I don't.
Our uncle he don't wanna know he says,
We are a disgrace to the human race he says,
How can you show your face,
When you're a disgrace to the human race?
No committment, you're an embarrassment,
Yes, an embarrassment, a living endorsement,
The intention that you have booked,
Was an intention that was overlooked.
They say, stay away,
Don't want you home today,
Keep away from our door,
Don't come 'round here no more.
Our dad, he don't wanna know he says,
This is a serious matter,
Too late to reconsider,
No one's gonna wanna know ya !
Our mum, she don't wanna know,
I'm feelin' twice as old, she says,
Thought she had a head on her shoulder,
'Cause I'm feelin' twice as older,
I'm feelin' twice as older.
You're an embarrassment...


もうだいぶ前の話のような気がしますが

今回も今年のReading Fesのアーティスト紹介を・・・

このアーティストは透明感のある声

そしてポップなノリの曲が特徴です

Two Door Cinema Clubというバンドです



まだまだ2日目の中盤だというのに

会場の盛り上がりはすごかったな

凄い人気のあるバンドなんだなと実感しました


紹介するのはI Can Talkという曲です




歌詞↓


You won't believe what I tell you,
White coats and clever minds will choose
You get a lot from this
Loose tongue and arrogance
It's not appropriate
Don't think that this is it

Now I can talk, no one gets off
(I know how you like to)
Now I can talk, no one gets off
(repeat)

A longer sentence brings no more
Than one that I had said before
It's hard to compromise
When I see through your eyes
It's just a common view
I guess it's lost on you

Now I can talk, no one gets off
(I know how you like to)
Now I can talk, no one gets off
(repeat)

Now I can talk, no one gets off
(I know how you like to)
Now I can talk, no one gets off
(repeat)
