“브라더스 포”(The Brothers Four)의 히트송
브라더스 포(The Brothers Four)는 1960년대 미국의 "포크 송의 부흥(folk revival)"에 앞장섰던 그룹으로 수 백만장에 이르는 음반 판매고와 듣기 편한 이지 스타일의 연주와 노래로 국내외 수많은 대중들로부터 인기를 누린 4인조 남성 보컬그룹이다.
1957년 워싱턴 대학에 재학 중이던 밥(Bob Flick, upright bass, vocal 담당), 마이크(Mike Kirkland, guitar, banjo, vocal 담당), 존(John Paine, guitar, vocal 담당), 리차드(Richard Foley, guitar, vocal 담당)에 의해 결성되었으나 이들의 본격적인 데뷔는 1959년 샌프란시스코의 유명한 클럽 헝그리 아이(Hungry I)에서 노래한 것이 계기가 되었다. 당시 그들의 노래를 듣고 있던 데이브 브루벡의 매니저 루이스 모트(Mort Lewis)의 눈에 띄게 된 것이 계기가 되었다. 그들은 콜럼비아 레코드와 계약을 맺고 두번째 앨범 <그린필즈 Greenfields>가 미국 레코드판매 차트에서 2위를 기록하면서 대중적인 포크 송 그룹으로 자리를 굳히게 된다. 따라 부르기 쉬운 멜로디와 서정적인 가사로 이루어진 브라더스 포의 노래는 대부분 50년대 히트곡 작사자인 이지 라이더즈(The Easy Riders)의 테리(Terry Gilkyson)로부터 받은 것이다.
창설 멤버로 활동하던 구성원 중에 1969년 커크랜드가 탈되하고 마크(Mark Pearson, banjo, guitar, piano 담당)를 영입하게 된다. 그 후 마크를 대신해 밥(Bob Haworth)이 1990년까지 활동을 한다. 70년대 중반에는 프릭을 대신해서 전자 베이즈 주자인 톰(Tom Coe)이 잠시 활동하기도 하였다. 창립 후 40여년이 지난 지금은 세계 각지에 다니며 연주여행을 하면서 7, 80년대 멤버로 재정비를 하고 레코딩 작업도 다시 시작하였다.
▲ ‘그린필즈’(Greenfields)- The Brothers Four
“Greenfields”
Music & Lyric by Terry Gilkyson, Rich Dehr, Frank Miller
Song by The Brothers Four
Once there were green fields kissed by the sun.
Once there were valleys where rivers used to run.
Once there were blue skies with white clouds high above.
Once they were part of an everlasting love.
We were the lovers who strolled through green fields.
Green fields are gone now, parched by the sun.
Gone from the valleys where rivers used to run.
Gone with the cold wind that swept into my heart.
Gone with the lovers who let their dreams depart.
Where are the green fields that we used to roam?
I'll never know what made you run away.
How can I keep searching when dark clouds hide the day.
I onl y know there's nothing here for me.
Nothing in this wide world, left for me to see.
But I'll keep on waiting until you return.
I'll keep on waiting until the day you learn.
You can't be happy while your heart's on the roam,
You can't be happy until you bring it home.
Home to the green fields and me onc e again.
“푸른 초원”
태양이 입맞추던 푸른 초원이 있었네.
언제나 개울이 흐르는 골짜기가 있었네.
흰구름 높이 떠 있는 푸른 하늘이 있었네.
거기, 끝없이 사랑하는 연인들이 있었네.
우리는 연인이었네, 그 푸른 초원을 뛰어다니던...
푸른 초원은 이제 가버렸네, 햇볕에 말라서.
가버렸네, 언제나 물이 흐르던 그 골짜기에서.
내 가슴 속으로 몰아치는 찬 바람과 함께.
꿈이 깨어진 연인들과 함께 사라졌네.
우리가 뛰놀던 그 푸른 초원은 어디로 갔는가...
나는 알 수 없네, 당신이 왜 떠났는지.
어떻게 찾을 수 있을지, 검은 구름이 햇빛을 가렸는데.
나는 알고 있네, 이제 내게 남은 건 아무 것도 없다는 걸.
이 넓은 세상에, 내가 보고싶은 것은 아무 것도 없네...
그러나, 나는 기다리겠소, 당신이 돌아올 때까지.
당신이 내 사랑을 알아줄 때까지.
당신은 결코 행복할 수 없을거에요, 당신의 마음이 방황하는 동안은.
당신은 결코 즐거움이 없을게요, 고향에 돌아올 때까지는.
푸른 초원으로 돌아와요, 나에게 다시 돌아와줘요.
* 가수 남진의 ‘저푸른 초원 위에 그림같은 집을 짓고...’ 와 비슷한 노래이다. 어릴적 푸른 초원에서 함께 뛰놀며 같이 자란 사랑하는 단짝이 자기만 남겨두고 도시로 가버려 그 외로운 심정과 다시 돌아오기를 간절히 바라는 심정을 노래한 것이다. (번역: suwon)
“500 Miles”
(Lyrics by The Brothers Four)
If you miss the train I'm on,
You will know that I am gone,
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles.
A hundred miles, a hundred miles,
A hundred miles, a hundred miles,
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles.
Lord, I'm one , Lord, I'm two,
Lord, I'm three, Lord, I'm four,
Lord, I'm 500 miles away from home.
Not a shirt on my back,
Not a penny to my name,
Lord, I can't go back home this a-way.
This a-way, this a-way,
This a-way, this a-way,
Lord, I can't go back home this a-way.
If you miss the train I'm on,
You will know that I am gone.
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles...
(Lyric: http://www.tsrocks.com/t/the_brothers_four_texts/500_miles.html)
“5백 마일”
만일 엄마가 내가 탄 기차를 놓치시면
내가 떠난 걸 아실 거에요.
기적소리 들리지요, 1백 마일.
1백 마일, 1백 마일,
1백 마일, 1백 마일,
기적소리 들리지요, 1백 마일.
아, 1백 마일, 아, 2백 마일
아, 3백 마일, 아, 4백 마일
아, 5백 마일이나 떠나 왔어요.
흰 셔츠도 입지 않고
내가 번 1페니도 없이
아, 난 이대로는 돌아갈 수 없어요.
이대로는, 이대로는,
이대로는, 이대로는,
아, 난 이대로는 돌아갈 수 없어요.
만일 엄마가 내가 탄 기차를 놓치시면
내가 떠난 걸 아실 거에요.
기적소리 들리지요, 1백 마일.
*돈 벌러 무작정 집을 떠난 젊은이...백 마일, 2백 마일... 기차 타고 도시로 떠나가지만 아직 돈 한푼 벌지 못한 실업자 풋내기 신세...그래서 이대로는 고향 부모님에게 돌아갈 수 없다는 하소연이다. (번역: Suwon)
▲ 영화 ‘셰난도’ 주제곡(Shenandoah by The Brothers Four)
“Shenandoah”
Oh, Shenandoah
I long to hear you,
Far away You rolling river.
Oh, Shenandoah
I long to hear you,
Away, I'm bound away
'Cross the wide Missouri.
For seven years
I courted Sally,
Far away
You rolling river.
For seven more
I longed to love her.
Away, I'm bound away
'Cross the wide Missouri.
Oh, Shenandoah
I'm bound to leave you,
Away, You rolling river.
Oh Shenandoah,
I'll not be seeing you.
Away...
Away...
Oh Shenandoah,
I long to hear you...
(Note: In the song "Shenandoah" is the name of an Indian chief, not the river valley in the Appalachian Mountains. The song originated with French voyageurs or Missouri River boatmen. It was soon claimed by high-seas sailors and became one of the best known and most frequently used of the capstan shanties. Lyric: http://www.cosfun.com/fun/shenandoah.htm)
“세난도”
오, 세난도,
당신 소식 정말 궁금해요.
멀리멀리, 강물따라 떠나간 그대....
오, 세난도,
당신 소식이 정말 궁금해요.
멀리멀리, 나도 떠나야 할 운명이라오.
넓고넓은 미주리강을 건너서...
7년 동안
나는 셀리에게 청혼했어요.
멀리멀리, 강물따라 떠나간 그녀...
다시, 7년 동안
그녀를 사모했어요.
멀리멀리, 나도 떠나야 할 운명이라오.
넓고넓은 미주리강을 건너서...
오, 세난도,
난 당신과 헤어져야 할 운명이라오.
멀리멀리, 강물따라 떠나간 그대.
오, 세난도,
나는 당신과 헤어질 것 같아요.
멀리멀리...
멀리멀리...
오, 세난도,
당신 소식 정말 궁금해요.(번역: Suwon)
음반리뷰
Song Book (1961 / columbia) ★★★★
| Side 1 1. Rock Island Line 2. Goodnight, Irene 3. The Tavern Song 4. Lady Greensleeves 5. The Drillers' Song 6. Nobody Knows |
Side 2 1. Viva La Compagnie 2. Ole Smokey 3. Tarrytown 4. Come For To Carry Me Home 5. Summer Days Alone 6. Frogg No 2 |
<A pleasant if not necessarily adventurous collection of 12 songs, beginning with versions of &"Rock Island Line" and &"Goodnight Irene." Those are followed by a handful of traditional songs with new words added (helpful in securing copyright), including &"The Tavern Song" (aka &"Tavern in the Town"), &"Lady Greensleeves," &"Ole Smokey," etc. It's all sweetly sung and easy enough to listen to -- so much so that this album could qualify as an "easy listening" selection -- but not terribly ambitious. Indeed, next to these guys on this album, the Kingston Trio of the same era sounds like Bob Dylan and the Band. Bruce Eder, All Music Guide>
'향수를 자극하는 구수한 선율' 이들의 노래는 그렇게 표현하고 싶다.
옛 생각이 절로 나기도 하고, 나른한 오후 시간 들으면 멜랑꼴리한 분위기를 더해준다.
''Lady Greensleeves'',''Nobody Knows ''등 들어본듯한 곡이다.
근데 다른곡들도 언젠가 들어본듯한 친근한 선율...이들의 음악은 그렇다...
추천곡은 ''Ole Smokey'',''Summer Days Alone''
Greatest Hits (1962 / columbia) ★★★★★
| Side 1 1. Greenfields 2. Yellow Bird 3. Frogg No.1 4. I Am A Roving Gambler 5. Slowly, Slowly (Pleure Mon Amour) 6. Summer Days Alone |
Side 2 1. Blue Water Line 2. Nobody Knows 3. The Green Leaves Of Summer 4. Eddystone Light 5. My Tani 6. Nine Pound Hammer |
아마도 가장 많이 팔리 음반이 아닐까....
12곡밖에 안된다는게 아쉽다. 10곡은 더 넣어도 남는 시간인데.....음반사의 상술이 보인다...^^
이젠 다른 베스트 음반도 많으니 잘 보고 선택 하시길.
Big Folk Hits (1963 / columbia) ★★★
| 13. Silver Threads And Golden Needles |
| 14. 500 Miles |
| 15. Walk Right In |
| 16. El Paso |
| 17. The John B. Sails |
| 18. If I Had A Hammer (the Hammer Song) |
| 19. Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport |
| 20. Darling Corey |
| 21. Scarlet Ribbons (for Her Hair) |
| 22. Wolverton Mountain |
| 23. Jamaica Farewell |
| 24. Michael Row The Boat Ashore |
<Song Book> 앨범과 함께 컴필레이션되서 CD로 재발매되었다.
다른 아티스트의 유명 포크 작품들을 색다른 느낌으로 불러준다.
추천곡은 ''Scarlet Ribbons (for Her Hair) '', ''Jamaica Farewell''이다.
''Jamaica Farewell''은 벨라폰테와 카에타노 벨로소가 불러준게 더 나은듯....
A New World's Record (1967 / columbia) ★★★
Side 1
1. Walkin' Backwards Down The Road
2. Umbrellas In The Rain
3. Shenandoah
4. Have You Got A Light Boy
5. It Was A Very Good Year
6. Meantime
Side 2
1. Here Today And Gone Tomorrow
2. No Sad Songs For Me
3. Changes
4. The First Time Ever
5. All I Need Is You
일본에서는 킹스턴 트리오나 피터 폴 & 메리와 함께 가장 많은 사랑을 받아오며 또한 많은 음반이 발매되었다.
그래서 LP는 미국반보다 일본반을 쉽게 찾을수가 있다.
브라더스 포의 음악이 좋아 보이기만 하면 무작정 구입하고나니 별로 안좋은 음반도 몇장 있다. 이것도 그중 한장이다.
미국 스레레오반인데 음질도 수준이하다
추천곡은 ''Shenandoah'' 이곡이 있어 버릴수는 없다.
Souvenir for Youth (1968 / columbia) LP released by SONY japan SONX 60007 ★★★★★
60년부터 64년까지 녹음된 곡들을 수록한 컴필레이션 음반이다. (사진의 자켓과 같고 타이틀만 틀리다)
블루스 명곡 ''St. James Infirmary'', 비틀즈의 ''Yesterday'' 그리고 ''House of Rising Sun'',''Lady Greensleeves'' 등 잘 알려진 곡들과 이들의 아름다운 화음을 들을수 있다.
이외에도 ''Beautiful Brown Eyes'', ''A Pretty Girls Is Like a Little Bird'',''Come To My Beside, My Darlin''. ''Seven Deffodils''등 모든곡들이 아름답고 사랑스럽다.
베스트 추천곡은 ''Come To My Beside, My Darlin''
Today and Yesterday (1968 / columbia) LP released by SONY japan SONX 60023 ★★★
68년 일본에서만 발매된 음반이며 수록곡중 A면 5곡이 일본에서 녹음되었다.
B면의 7곡은 59년부터 64년까지 녹음된 곡들을 담아 놓았다. 아마도 그당시 싱글로 발매된 곡들인듯 하다.
그래서 앨범 타이틀이 <Today and Yesterday>이며, A면과 B면의 음질이 차이가 난다.
특별히 눈부시게 좋은곡은 없다.
추천곡은 ''Scarborough Fair''
Love Story (1971 / LIBERTY) LP released by TOSHIBA japan LP-80332 ★★★★
''Love Story''라는 타이틀로 LIBERTY 레이블에서 71년 발매된 음반이다.
타이틀곡을 비롯 ''Green Fields'', ''El Condor Pasa''등 14곡이 수록되어 있다.
일본어 가사로 부른곡이 2곡이 있는것 보니 일본에서만 발매된 음반인듯 하다.
물론 모든곡이 71년에 녹음되었으며, 브라더스 포의 명곡들을 10년전의 그것과는 다른 색다른 느낌으로 감상할수 있다.
하지만 오리지널을 따라가진 못한다.
Where The Eagles Fly (1976 / columbia) LP released by SONY japan 25AP 144 ★★
일본 작곡가들의 곡들을 노래한 음반이다.
Gold Disc (19?? / columbia) LP released by SONY japan SOPN-12 ★★★★★★
브라더스 포의 골드 디스크다. 말 그대로 가장 좋은 곡들이 14곡 수록되어 있다.
무엇보다 개인적으로 좋아하는 ''Come To My Beside, My Darlin'' 를 양질의 사운드로 들을수 있어 가치가 있다.
<Gold Disc>라는 타이틀로 다른 아티스트의 전 28타이틀의 음반들이 발매되었는데 내용이 풍부하고 자켓도 고급스러우며 음질도 매우 뛰어나다.
기회만 된다면 이 시리즈의 음반은 모두 수집해도 좋겠다.
