今日は洋楽を紹介したいと思います。
Oasis の 「Half The World Away」です。

オアシスといえば、8月にノエルが脱退を表明、
そしてつい先日にリアムもオアシスの終了を宣言しました。
今年になってからオアシスにハマり出した身としても非常に残念です。

7月のフジロック09でこの曲を披露したそうですが、
この曲はそんなオアシス、いや、ノエルの今の心情をよく表しているように思えます。

また、今現在の僕自身もまさにこんな心境で、曲を聴いていると切なく、泣きそうになります。


[Oasis - Half The World Away]

I would like to leave this city
This old town don't smell too pretty and
I can feel the warning signs running around my mind
And when I leave this island I'll book myself into a soul asylum
Cos I can feel the warning signs running around my mind

So here I go, I'm still scratching around in the same old hole
My body feels young but my mind is very old
So what do you say?
You can't give me the dreams that are mine anyway
You're half the world away
Half the world away
Half the world away
I've been lost, I've been found but I don't feel down.

And when I leave this planet
You know I'd stay but I just can't stand it and
I can feel the warning signs running around my mind
And if I could leave this spirit I'd find me a hole and I'll live in it and
I can feel the warning signs running around my mind

Here I go, i'm still scratching around in the same old hole
My body feels young but my mind is very old
So what do you say?
You can't give me the dreams that are mine anyway
You're half the world away
Half the world away
Half the world away
I've been lost, I've been found but I don't feel down
No I don't feel down
No I don't feel down

I don't feel down
I don't feel down
I don't feel down
I don't feel down
