The Horrors

국내 내한을 했었나...? 어디선가 내한 소식을 본 것 같기도 하고... 나의 망상인가.... -_-

어쩃든,

이 밴드를 알게 된 건 플라시보의 2009년 Tour Bundle 무료 다운받았던 음원을 통해서.
그 때 The Horrors가 supporting act였었나...? 기억이 가물가물 -_-

장장 8분 가까이 되는 엄청난 길이의 이 곡 Sea Within A Sea

음원은 길이가 7분 59초다. 뭔가 몽환적인 느낌. 
8분이나 되는 길이가 긴 곡임에도 듣다가 지겹다는 느낌이 안 드는 곡. 그냥 주욱 따라가게 되는 리듬. 
보컬도 몽환적이다. 마치 The Doors의 짐 모리슨 같다는 생각도 살짝 들고...
그러고 보면 그 때 Tour Bundle에 있었던 곡들 다 괜찮았다. 그 중에서 난 이 곡이 젤 맘에 든다.

Lyrics: 

I never meant for you to get hurt
And how I try, oh how I try
I could never give you just what you deserve
Another man would surely learn
I know these words may only serve to twist the knife
but I'll strive to make them heard
Maybe it's better now I've gone away
Maybe it's not, oh who can say
And though it's hard for me to say
I know you're better off this way
And when I told her I didn't love her anymore
She cried
And when I told her her kisses were not like before
She cried
And when I told her another girl had caught my eye
She cried
And then I kissed her with a kiss
That could only mean goodbye
And though it's hard for me to say
Maybe you're better off this way
And though it's hard for me to say
I know you're better off this way
Get away
(repeat)

Lyrics: 

Is it her way
is it the way she looks at you
seeing her face 
as you walk through the crowded avenue
that sets you afire
remembering all you left behind
don't fall back in line
better you let her memory die
(Chorus) Draw strength 
walk on into the night 
better you try to pass her by 
walk on into the night
Is it too late
or are you forever in this state of crippling shyness
whenever you see her walking by 
(Chorus)
