[Summer Song Parade (2)] Bryan Adams - Summer of 69'

밀려버린 여름 송 퍼레이드를 다음주에도 쉽게 이어가기 어려울 것 같아, 오늘 또 하나 올려버린다. 마치 자신의 어린 시절을 그대로 노래로 옮긴듯한 가사가 인상적인 브라이언 아담스의 이 노래는 발표된 지 25년이 지난 지금 들어도 언제나 로킹하며 흥겹고 멋지다. 나에게 이런 의미를 가졌던 때가 있었다면 과연 몇년이었을까? 아마 내 인생의 큰 전환점이 되었을 1992년??

Bryan Adams - Summer of 69'

I got my first real six-string
 Bought it at the five-and-dime
Played 'til my fingers bled
It was summer of '69
 
Me and some guys from school
Had a Band and we tried real hard
 Jimmy quit and Jody got married
I shualda known we'd never get far

Oh when I lock back now
That was seemes to last forever
And if I had the choice
Ya - I'd always wanna be there
Those were the best days of my life

Ain't no use in complainin'
 When you got a job to do
Spent my evenin's down at the drive in
And that's when I met you

Standin on a mama's porch
You told me that you'd wait forever
Oh and when you held my hand
I knew that it was no or never
Those were the best days of my life

Back in Summer of '69

Man we were killin' time
We were young and restless
We needed to unwind
I guess nothin' can last forever, no
 
And now the times are changin'
Look at everything that's come and gone
Somethimes when I play that old six-string
I think about ya wonder what went wrong

Standin' on a mama's porch
You told me it would last forever
Oh the way you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life

Back in summer of '69
