*타이틀 넘버인 "song for my father"는 불가사의한 존재감을 지닌
곡이다,리듬의 바탕을 한 보사노바인데 묵직하고 어두운 색 필터가 끼어있어 당시 유행했던 스탄게츠의 세련되고 도회적인 보사노바와는 분위기가 달랐다,아버지는 포르투칼 출신의 흑인,호레이스가 어렸을적 곧잘 동네 사람들은 악기를 들고 자기들끼리 모여 세션을 했다고 한다,그당시를 생각하며 이곡을 썼다고한다,그런 정겨운 뒷골목 냄새가 음악 구석구석에 푸근하게 베여있다,하드 밥도 아니고 펑키도 아닌 호레이스 실버의 개인적인 세계가 선명하게,조금은 신비스럽게 전개된다,멜로디는 뚝뚝 끊어지지만 꽤깊은 곡이다.
+무라카미 하루키/재즈 에세이中~

Lying in my bed, I hear the clock ticks, and think of you.
Caught up in circles, confusion is nothing new.
Flash back, warm night, almost left behind.
Suitcase of memories.....
Time after --

Sometime you pictured me, I'm walking too far ahead.
You're callin' to me, I can't hear what you've said.
You said, 'Go slow, I fall behind '
The second hand unwinds.....

If you're lost, you can look and you will find me,
Time after time.
If you fall I will catch you, I'll be waiting,
Time after time.

I turn, my picture fades, and darkness has turned to grey.
Watching through windows, you're wondering if I'm okay.
Secrets, stolen, from deep inside,
The drum beats out of time.....

If you're lost, you can look and you will find me,
Time after time.
If you fall I will catch you, I'll be waiting,
Time after time.

If you're lost, you can look and you will find me,
Time after time.
If you fall I will catch you, I will be waiting,
Time after time.

Time after time.

Lullaby of birdland, that's what
I always hear when you sigh
Never in my woodland
Could there be words to reveal
In a phrase how i feel
Have you ever heard two turtle doves
Bill and coo when they love
That's the kind of magic
Music we make with our lips
When we kiss
And there's a weepy ol' willow
He really knows how to cry
That's how i cry in my pillow
If you should tell me
Farewell and goodbye
Lullaby of Birdland whisper low
kiss me sweet & we'll go
Fliyin' high in Birdland
High in the sky up above
All because we're in love
