소피 헝거(Sophie Hunger)는 1983년 3월 31일 취리히에서 태어난 독일계 스위스인으로 이후 런던에서 성장한다. 그녀는 자신의 노래를 대부분 작사, 작곡하는 싱어송/라이터로서 독특한 성장환경에 영향을 받아 영어, 독일어 그리고 스위스어로 노래한다. 그녀의 음악 스타일은 포크와 블루스를 바탕으로 한 인디팝으로, 특히 그녀가 노래하는 알라만(Aleman)지역 특유의 독일식 억양의 스위스어는 듣는 이로 하여금 음유시인의 노래를 듣는 듯 묘한 매력으로 다가온다. .... ....
Your personal religion Your enthusiastic expression Your daring clothes, your overdose Your intimate songs Your broken vows, your divorces Your forced sexual discourses Your tight jeans, your sun cream spirituality
It doesn't speak, doesn't speak
Your anti-depressant breakfast table Your MTV porn feeding the children How did your dad think you're worth the war? Your clever quotes on independence Your independent of loneliness Your massive, massive lack of self control
It doesn't speak, it doesn't speak for me It doesn't speak, it doesn't speak for me
Yeah, You're taking care of your body You're taking care of your soul You're psycho, your psychoanalysis Your T-shirt says punk, you're so rock and roll You do whatever you want, oh I know I know You're individual, individual-al-al vomit
It doesn't speak, it doesn't speak for me It doesn't speak, it doesn't speak for me
With the sound of my city With the blowing of the wind And the silence of our children sleeping Have I come to understand With the pushing of the rivers With the falling of the rain With the dusting way it's drifting I will sing and sing again
It's never gonna die, it's never gonna die, oh no It's never gonna die, it's never gonna die
It's never gonna die, it's never gonna die, oh no It's never gonna die, it's never never gonna die
They said : "Lady or gentleman You're either or It's morning, it's evening It's once or it's more" What's that name? Eh, what's that name? What's my name again?
Shadow boxing, monologue and we talk and we talk and we talk Shadow boxing, monologue and we walk and we walk and we walk
Scribbling aand coughing a line in the winds So busy with oiling your sandcastle's hinges What's that name yeah what's that name yeah what's my name again? Stamp on the ground and ceiling falls in
Shadow boxing, monologue and we talk and we talk and we talk Shadow boxing, monologue and we walk and we walk and we walk Shadow boxing, monologue and we clean and we clean and we clean Shadow boxing, monologue and we dream and we dream and we dream
And we go down to the beggar, to reach for the queen And it's now and forever, and we are and we seem And we sculpture a statue to worship and bear The chaos that's behind the glass of who and what and who and what we are
Niemand kommt rein und setzt sich hin Den Fuβ auf'n Tisch, Hand unter's Kinn Niemand ist hungrig, mein Fruhstucksmenu Niemand kommt immer zu fruh Niemand, ich habe Geschenke fur dich Was war ich geworden, gab es dich nicht Meine gesammelten Werke - bitte sehr Alles gehort dir Niemand, niemand kennt mich wie du Unbedingt, ich geb alles zu Keine Enttauschung, kein einziges Mal Aber dir ist eh alles egal Niemand, siehst du's, ich wachse nicht mehr Meine Hande sind Fuβe, Niemand, schau her Bald bin ich nichts und das, was dann Bleibt Ist deine Wenigkeit Niemand, was, was willst du? Immer bist du hier Niemand, was, was willst du? Von mir? Von mir? Von mir?

You are the answer, you never talk You have no question, you are a thought You are the answer, you`re shaped and emblazed Through the holes in my cover, you`re something I made You are the answer, my truthful response My final saying when everyone`s gone
You`re my illusion, my pattern of wrong A hollow idol on the tip of my tongue You`re my disgrace, my self-made war And I don`t want to remember faith anymore I`m wasting myself in the name of a fake You were made for me by mistake
I had nothing before, then I had you I was denying, now I refuse I`ve never been young, you`ll never grow old My life`s In my words and my hands they are cold I never made sense but now I disturb I`m bashing my goods against the door of the world
Oh wash away Oh wash away You had nothing to say You were made for me by mistake
Upstairs they have begun to sweep The floors and night begins to speak of Possibilities Silence, promises Cities full of story lines Do I have to sing those rhymes Possibilities Broken promises
Take away your easy jokes And leave me with the monkeys I know every place to go but Will not go for pennies
Talk to me on every screen Someone's always calling me Is this a movie scene A moving movie scene? My back is turned against the car I drop my keys and kiss the floor Countless are the roads from here But my heart is nowhere
Take away your easy jokes And leave me with the monkeys I know every place to go but Will not go for pennies
My heart My heart My heart Is nowhere Is nowhere Is nowhere Is nowhere
I took your door bell and rang up the city I rolled your fags. And it made me feel pretty One gun held against my shoe And the other one pointing at you
Refrain: You were all so very lovely, My hands were in the air Fell in love right in the beginning I swear, I swear, I swear
Good god. As if they were empty I filled up my pockets, until I had plenty Plenty of things belonging to you Your schools, your fools, your blues
Refrain: You were all so very lovely, My hands were in the air Fell in love right in the beginning I swear, I swear, I swear
I collected the ghosts that would sleep in your hair and I stole all the words they hung into the air And with them I shaped a pen and a chair, in which I sit, sing and scribble. I composed a dog barking in vain, and with it the silence behind its complaints And with that the highways that take things away, and then discovered that there are no endings And now that I am so completely of you, I do not understand what I do
Dear all, I am full of your blood, Full of your absence, Full of your love, Full of your words That will tear me apart, Apart from everything
In mid-air blinding the shades The sun appears and I get carried away That was it my truthful account of what it's about
Guten Morgen 1983 Wo sind deine Kinder? Ich bin zu Dir zuruckgekehrt Nur kurz noch nicht fur immer 1983 zeig mir deine Finger Und frag nach deinem Abdruck
1983 wo sind deine Stimmen Wo sind deine Ausnahmen deine Mongoloiden Wo sind deine Dichter deine Zweifel deine Maden Was hat es gekostet immer besser zu leben?
Bitte sing mir ein Volkslied x3 Auch wenn es das nicht mehr gibt
Ich hab olige Hande und Ol in meinem Bauch Weissgemalte Wande weissgemalter Staub Meine Augen sind aus Glas und ich sehe immer scharfer Aus meinem Mund stromt Gas und ich werde immer warmer Ich kratze meine Decke nach dem Wetter ich will frieren Ich leg mich in den Keller zu den ausgestorbenen Tieren Ich leg mich in den Kuhlschrank dort liegt noch etwas Eis Dann ruf ich deinen Namen Es ist mein kleines bisschen Wahrheit
Wenn dann der Regen doch kommt Und all dein Erfolg war umsonst Und all dein Zeug fließt davon Ja dann hor gut hin x2 Dann singe ich dir ein Volkslied x3 Weil das alles ist was ich hab
Komm bitte sing mir ein Volkslied x3 Weil das alles ist was ich hab
1983 Alles muss weg Alles muss sterben Es ist nie zu spat neu geboren zu werden
You told your tales with pictures I tried to make it seem good I borrowed the heart of a preacher And believed as hard as I could
You don't know how much I worked there You don't know the risk I took You hardly, hardly saw me Behind the mirror round my neck
Caught in your Headlights I had to close my eyes Caught in your Headlights I had so little time Caught in your Headlights I couldn't turn back I was never myself I was you I forgot
You sold your smiles untroubled Your light was on every face You were too young to know that it mattered That every time someone must pay
I bought your every word then I didn't have my side I was too old to learn my first lesson So I dance with tied hands in mind
Caught in your Headlights I had to close my eyes Caught in your Headlights I had so little time Caught in your Headlights I couldn't turn back I was never myself I was you I forgot
In Berlin there is a project Waiting holding wearing apole and tucked and disposed
And i wish there were two little dogs on the logs So I could play with each other
The question comes to my head Is should I watch Monty Python like the memory of the dead Millions and trillions who have never had any time
When a dream comes up empty When I move I'm taught When a think of a girl in the world And no she won't be enough
And the prophet next door Set the stone in your hand Holding your hand And I do understand And I don't understand I just wish I could Stand in the middle Of a mountain
City lights forever
And now if there is God And if there is not Still I find myself hoping and pleading a lot And then seeing Madonna showing her spots I take a bow to the women in veils
When a dream comes up empty When I move I am taught When I think of a boy in the world And no, he won't be enough
Born on top of a cedar You can't see me But I see whatever You are moving
Can't you put up a ladder Can't you free me? I'm on top of the cedar Waving, screaming
Aaaaaaah
Born on top of a cedar You can't see me But I feel the shiver When you are moving
Can't you put up a ladder Can't you meet me? I'm not holding a treasure I'm waving, screaming
Aaaaaaah
Can I wear your gloves before my hands break off? Can I wear your gloves and then come down? Can I wear your gloves before my hands break off? Can I wear your gloves and then calm down?
Born on top of a cedar I'm watching my breathing It's been almost forever Since I've been feeling
I can't touch you however I can't lean out Stuck on top of this cedar That I have brought up
Je n'ai pas peur de la route Faudrait voir, faut qu'on y goute Des meandres au creux des reins Et tout ira bien la Le vent nous portera
Ton message a la Grande Ourse Et la trajectoire de la course Un instantane de velours Meme s'il ne sert a rien va Le vent l'emportera Tout disparaitra mais Le vent nous portera
La caresse et la mitraille Et cette plaie qui nous tiraille Le palais des autres jours D'hier et demain Le vent les portera
Genetique en bandouillere Des chromosomes dans l'atmosphere Des taxis pour les galaxies Et mon tapis volant dis ? Le vent l'emportera Tout disparaitra mais Le vent nous portera
Ce parfum de nos annees mortes Ce qui peut frapper a ta porte Infinite de destins On en pose un et qu'est-ce qu'on en retient? Le vent l'emportera
Pendant que la maree monte Et que chacun refait ses comptes J'emmene au creux de mon ombre Des poussieres de toi Le vent les portera Tout disparaitra mais Le vent nous portera
Call back the cards now and Lay down the pen Take off your glasses And unpack your things Feel with your thumbs the Edge of your chin and Hold your hands up again
I lower my head now I Halt and I stand i follow the lines in The palm of my hand Feel with my thumbs the Dust on my skin and No, I will not dream again
I'm ready now, I'm going now Nowhere Don't take me out, I'm breaking out In air I'm ready now, I'm going now Nowhere
Bring me some water and Don't bring me wine Turn off the movie Let it be time Destroy all the airplanes I'll Sleep on the floor We must dream no more
I'm ready now, I'm going now Nowhere Don't take me out, I'm breaking out In air I kill the fire, I'll close the doors And I watch you No more
I left the stage without encore Walking back was through the door Had I come to give you more I'm not quite sure what this is for Ho, ho, ho On the threshold I would break Away for you to name the case Are you bored with what you do Am I just entertaining you Ho, ho, ho
Give me a second time from afar I am no experiment Give me a second time from afar I could be your empire
In every look of yours there's depth Is it for me or for the rest It is love that makes you soft Or whatever day you're shaking off In every word of yours there's hope Are you fighting for my vote Or is it your romantic side That cannot just stay unsatisfied
Give me a second time from afar I am no experiment Give me a second time from afar I could be your empire
When I step out on the street All the papers speak to me Telling me about the truth on pages Fish are dying out again Michael Jackson had a friend I should not forget to spend my wages
That's how everybody knows what everybody knows about Everybody are the bodes that we all know about
Where are all the people at Someone's paying for the fare Why hasn't it exploded yet Invisible Where are all the people at Someone's paying for the fare Why hasn't it exploded yet It's Invisible
I don't know what it is that it is behind the curtain There is something out there burning and is unspoken
Where are all the people at Someone's paying for the fare Why hasn't it exploded yet Invisible Where are all the people at Someone's paying for the fare Why hasn't it exploded yet Invisible Where are all the people at Someone's paying for the fare Why hasn't it exploded yet Invisible Where are all the people at Someone's paying for the fare Why hasn't it exploded yet It's Invisible
Somewhere in the Hindukush Lives the greatest poet Scribbling signs into to the dust We would never know it
소피 헝거의 2008년도 데뷔 앨범. 무슨 디카 CF에도 삽입이 되었다는데 그 곡은 내겐 별 감흥이 없었고
대체 어떻게 알게 된 건지 그 기원이 불분명함. 어쨌든 요즘 많이 듣고 있는
여성 싱어송라이터의 앨범 중 하나다. 이 사람 말고도 카리나 라운드, 돈 키너드 등등
이런 스타일의 여성 싱어송라이터들의 음악이 넘 좋다. 가을이라 그런가?
아...
