맥시 프리스트 (Maxi Priest)
- 1960년 6월 10일 (영국 출생)
- 1985년 1집 You're Sale 로 데뷔
별 생각없이 예전의 팝송을 마구잡이로 듣다가 문득 귀에 박히는 곡이 있었으니...
Close To You
가수가 누군가 했더니만 이름이 Maxi Priest 라는 흑인가수다.
비쥬얼은 모랄까.....
레게의 아버지라고 하는 밥말리 같은 느낌이라고 해야 하나?
하지만 분위기는 전혀 틀린 맥시 프리스트의 Close To You 이다.
CLOSE TO YOU
Maxi Priest
She was a Jezebel
This burstin' queen
Livin' her life
Like a bad sweet dream
Tellin' me lies
When the truth was clear
I think she knew
What I wanted to hear
Spinnin' around
Like a wheel on fire
Walkin' the tightrope
On love's highwire
A fatal attraction
Is where I'm at
There's no escapin' me
I just want to be close to you
And do all the things you want me to
I just want to be close to you
And show you the way I feel
I feel love
When I'm lying in the midnight hour
Holding you's just like a dream
Love is never what it seems
When we touch
And you're holdin' me the way you feel
Girl you make my dreams come true
You make my dreams come true
I just want to be close to you
And do all the things you want me to
I just want to be close to you
And
I just want to be close to you
And do all the things you want me to
I just want to be close to you
And show you the way I feel
She was a Gemini on the cusp of Mars
She holds me back but she goes too far
Windin' me up just to let me down
So emotional gagged and bound
There's more to this than meets the eye
A devil woman locked inside
With the formal rising I was scared
I think I was possessed
I just want to be close to you
And do all the things you want me to
I just want to be close to you
And show you the way I feel
I feel love
Every time your body's next to mine
Somethin' deep inside of me
Wants to love you endlessly
When we touch
Girl, you don't know
How it makes me feel
I just can't believe it's real
I can't believe it's real!
I just want to be close to you
And do all the things you want me to
I just want to be close to you
And show you the way I feel
She had an attitude I can't explain
You never know if your in flame
Tying me up with elastic words
I'm on a countdown till I get hurt
Her blood was hot she burned so bright
A neon sign there in the night
It's hard to say if I went too far
My heart still bears a scar
I just want to be close to you
She was a Jezebel
This burstin' queen
Livin' her life
Like a bad sweet dream
Tellin' me lies
When the truth was clear
I think she knew
What I wanted to hear
Spinnin' around
Like a wheel on fire
Walkin' the tightrope
On love's highwire
A fatal attraction
Is where I'm at
There's no escapin' me
I want to be close to you!
And do all the things you want me to
I just want to be close to you (i just want to be close to you baby)
And show you the way I feel
I just want to be close to you
And do all the things you want me to
I just want to be close to you
And show you the way I feel
잔잔하면서도 특유의 흥겨운 리듬이 좋은 곡이다.
이 한곡에 맥시 프리스트라는 뮤지션에 관심을 갖게 되었고......
앨범을 구입하기에 이른다.
맥스 프리스트의 BEST OF ME
그냥 베스트 앨범을 구입하였다.
수록곡 중에는 많이 들어보았으나 느낌이 다른... Wild World 도 만날수 있었다.
내가 기억하는 Wild World 는 미스터빅의 그것인데 말이지...
하지만, 전반적인 앨범의 수록곡은 나의 취향하고는 그닥 맞지 않았다.
그냥 베스트 앨범 소장하는 정도로 만족....
하지만 Close To You는 참 좋은 곡이라는 생각이 든다.
