여성 보컬리스트 수재너 카롤리나 발룸뢰와 키보드 연주자 모르텐 크베닐로 이루어진 혼성 듀오 수재너 앤 더 매지컬 오케스트라의 2004년 데뷔 앨범. 발라드의 뼈대 사이 사이를 점토질의 일렉트로니카와 재즈가 몽환적으로 채우고 있는 이들의 노래와 연주들은 그 강한 중독성으로 듣는 이들을 아득하게 만든다. 컨트리의 여장부 돌리 파튼이 불렀던 'jolene'은 이들의 이름을 널리 알린 이 앨범의 필청 트랙. 요염한 발라드의 매력에 흠뻑 빠져들게 하는 이들의 자작곡 노래들도 놓치기 아까운 곡들이다. .... ....
Who am I? Was it all planned in advance, Or was I just born by chance in July? Who on earth am I? My friends only think of fun. They're such a curious lot. Must I be the only one, Who thinks these mysterious thoughts, Some day I'll die?
Will I ever live again? As a mountain lion? Or a rooster or a hen, Or a robin, or a wren, or a fly? Oh, who am I?
Do you believe in reincarnation? Do you believe in reincarnation? Were you ever here before? Have you ever had dreams That you knew were true, Some time before in your life? Have you ever had that experience? So you must question All the truths that you know, All the love and the lifes That you know and say Who am I?
Will I ever live again? As a mountain lion? Or a rooster or a hen, Or a robin, or a wren, or a fly? Oh, who am I?
Your beauty is beyond compare, With flaming locks of auburn hair, With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green. Your smile is like a breath of spring, Your voice is soft like summer rain, And I cannot compete with you, Jolene.
He talks about you in his sleep and There's nothing I can do to keep From crying when he calls your name, Jolene.
And I can easily understand, How you could easily take my man, But you don't know what he means to me, Jolene.
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene I'm begging of you Please don't take my man. Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene Please don't take him just because you can.
You could have your choice of men, But I could never love again. He's the only one for me, Jolene
I had to have this talk with you, My happiness depends on you. And whatever you decide to do, Jolene.
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene I'm begging of you Please don't take my man. Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene Please don't take him just because you can
My good friend tells me to be wise, I say why bother, you know. I cannot find what's wrong or right. To me they're all in disguise. And their disguises look so good, I cannot find what's true or false. That makes no difference to my friend, He will stand by me, and this he tells me:
This life is just for living, I can't tell you what it'll bring. There are good times, there are hard times There are reasons why we cling to what we want to be What we want to see
My good friend tells me to be smart, I say why bother, you know. I cannot find what's mind or heart. To me they kind of look the same. And when he shows me all the lies, I tell him to go to the devil. That makes no difference to my friend, He will stand by me, and this he tells me:
"This life is just for living, I can't tell you what it'll bring There are good times, there are hard times There are reasons why we cling to what we want to be What we want to see
But when he's gone, Who's to hold me? Who's to call me? Who's to make me rise again? Make me smile and then, Who's to tell me:
This life is just for living I can't tell you what it'll bring There are good times, there are hard times There are reasons why we cling to what we want to be And what we want to see
Hello Hello at my doorstep Hello in my street Hello at my doorstep Hello in my street
Who are you to touch me in this very special way? Who are you to comfort me and then you walk away? Who are you to listen to my stories of goodbye? Turning up the next day to say:
Hello Hello at my doorstep Hello in my street Hello at my doorstep Hello in my street
Who are you to step on me this very special way? Who are you to feed me and then you run away? Who are you to touch me touch me? Who are you to sing my song of happiness and joy? Who are you to sing my song of happiness and joy? Turning the next day to say that I'm yours
Hello Hello at my doorstep Hello in my street Hello at my doorstep Hello in my street
Didn't think you would trust me. Thought you would see what I see. This days have been good for me too, But I can't stay. You know why. Didn't want this to end like this. Thought I might could convert. These nights have been sad for me too, But I don't pray. You know why.
You are a believer, I am not.
Didn't think I could ever love, So I had to destroy it all. But you will do find someone new, When I am gone. You know why.
Sweet devil lives across the street. He waves at me in daytime. Sweet devil lives across the street He waves at me in daytime, From behind the curtains.
At nighttime he comes out, To seduce me in the dark, Playing with his guitar, Dancing with the stars, Makes me fall in love again, But look who's gone In the morning
Only one moment lost in thought, Sets me back to see where i've been going. Only one hour of you and me Carries my mind to brand new places, Seldom seen before.
Where's that baby now, Stayed with us for an hour or so? Where did that baby go?
Only a couple of lies to change Just a new thought to point out new directions. Only one hour of you and me Lets my mind find that sorrow, Seldom seen before.
Where's that baby now, Stayed with us for an hour or so? Where did that baby go?
All these hours lost in thought, You wil follow and point out places, Seldom seen before. Where's that baby now, Stayed with us for an hour or so? Where did that baby go?
Where you to cross the world my dear? To work or love or fight. I could be calm and wistful here And close my eyes at night It were a sweet and gallant pain To be a sea apart. But oh, to have you down the lane Is bitter to my heart.
Into love, and out again, Thus I went, and thus I go. Spare your voice, and hold your pen. Well and bitterly I know All the songs were ever sung, All the words were ever said; Could it be, when I was young, Some one dropped me on my head?
