Deep Purple - April

딥 퍼플의 키보디스트로 밴드에서는 은퇴하고 솔로 작업에 전념중인 존 로드가 얼마전 내한공연을 다녀갔다. (물론 거긴 못가고, 다른 사람이 블로그나 게시판에 쓴 리뷰만 봤다.) 하지만 이 곡은 포스터의 문구와 달리 연주하지 않았다. 사실 보컬이 빠진 부분으로 듣고 싶은 생각도 없었으니까... 그래서 이 곡은 이렇게 원곡 그대로 듣는걸로 올 4월은 만족하리라. 이 곡도 업로드 해준 아이밈에도 감사!

Deep Purple - April

April is a cruel time
Even though the sun may shine
And world looks in the shade as it slowly comes away
Still falls the April rain
And the valley's filled with pain
And you can't tell me quite why
As i look up to the grey sky
Where it should be blue
Grey sky where I should see you
Ask why, why it should be so
I'll cry, say that I don't know

Maybe once in a while I'll forget and I'll smile
But then the feeling comes again of an April without end
Of an April lonely as they come
In the dark of my mind I can see all too fine
But there is nothing to be done when I just can't feel the sun
And the springtime's the season of the night

Grey sky where it should be blue
Grey sky where I should see you
Ask why, why it should be so
I'll cry, say that I don't know
I don't know
