Michael Jackson - The Lady In My Life (1982)



마이클 잭슨은 30여년전 오늘인 1982년 11월 30일「Thriller」The Great 앨범을 선보인다.
팝 역사상 이토록 거대한 쓰나미는 없었다.
모든 차트가 아작이 나고, 기록이 깨지고, 앨범은 불티났고, 애들은 따라하고, 난리도 아니었다.

1. Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'
2. Baby Be Mine
3. The Girl Is Mine
4. Thriller (feat. Vincent Price)
5. Beat It (feat. Eddie Van Halen)
6. Billie Jean
7. Human Nature
8. P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)
9. The Lady in My Life

이 앨범이 무슨 상 받았네,
기네스 기록이 있네, 이런 건 너무 유명한 얘기고,
게다가 죄다 유명한 곡들이지만,

그건 그거구...

이 유명한 곡들 가운데 보석 같이 소중한 곡이 내 귀를 자극하였는데,
마지막 곡 The Lady in my life 이었당~
Quincy의 아득/야릇한 판타지스런 멜로디와 Michael 목소리의 조화는 "소름"이 돋는다.

또 하나의 The Lady in my life는 1985년 양손주법(two-handed tapping)의 기타리스트 Stanley Jordan 버전인데,
퀸시의 감수성이 묻어나면서도 스탠리 조던의 고급진 테크닉이 조화를 이룬 멋진 Jazz곡이다.
88년에 이 곡을 듣고는 훅~ 갔었다.

작사 : Rod Temperton / 작곡 : Quincy Jones

There'll be no darkness tonight
Lady our love will shine (Lighting the night)
Just put your trust in my heart and meet me in paradise (Now is the time)
Girl, you're every wonder in this world to me
A treasure time won't steal away

So let me keep you warm
Through the shadows of the night
Let me touch you with my love
I can make you feel so right
Just come into my arms
While the world goes spinnin' by
In the glow of candlelight
I will show you you're the lady in my life

Don't need no fortune or fame
I just want you close to me (There's no mystery)
No time for castles in space
Or livin' in make believe (Don't you just see)
I'd trade it all for just a rainy day
As long as I know you'll be there, girl

So listen to my heart
Lay your body close to mine
Let me fill you with my dreams
I can make you feel alright
And baby through the years gonna love you more each day
So I promise you tonight that you will always be the lady in my life

Lay back in my tenderness
Let's make this a night we won't forget
Girl, I need you sweet caress, oh
Reach out to a fantasy
Two hearts in a beat of ecstasy
Come to me, girl

And I will keep you warm through the shadows of the night
Let me touch you with my love
I can make you feel so right
And baby through the years even when we're old and gray
I will love you more each day
'Cause you will always be the lady in my life

Stay with me, I want you to stay with me
I need you by my side
Don't you go no where
(Ooh girl let me keep you warm)
Let me keep you warm
(You are the lady in my life)
You're my lady
(Feel you with the sweetest love)
I wanna squeeze ya
(Always the lady in my life)
I wanna touch you baby
(Lay back in my tenderness)
(You are the lady in my life) doo doo doo
(Rock me with your sweet caress)
(Always the lady in my life)
Your my lady and I love your girl
(Ooh girl let me keep you warm)
(You are the lady in my life) Don't you go nowhere
(Feel you with the sweetest love)
(Always the lady in my life) I love you I love you I need you I want you, baby
(Lay back in my tenderness) Stay with me
(You are the lady in my life) Don't you go no where
(Rock me with your sweet caress) And I love you baby
(Always the lady in my life)
Woo, Ooh Baby
Don't go no where
You're my lady
All through the night

(Ooh girl let me keep you warm) I wanna give you all
(You are the lady in my life) In my life
(Feel you with the sweetest love) Let me be your baby
(Always the lady in my life) All over all over all over
(Lay back in my tenderness) Lay back with me
(You are the lady in my life) Let me touch you girl
(Rock me with your sweet caress) Lay back with me
(Always the lady in my life) All over [x7] baby
(Ooh girl let me keep you warm)

(Lay back in my tenderness) You're my lady, baby
