A-ha - Start The Simulator (2009, 2015)

머시여~ 아직 아하가 있었던 것이여? 하실지 모르겠지만...
(여전히 건재하시다. 이제 갓 50이 넘었을 뿐...)
A-ha의 첫 앨범인 Hunting High and Low (1985) 나온지 30년이 되었다.
그 동안 음악관도 바뀌었고 인기도 예전같지는 않지만
꾸준히 활동하는 모습이 감사하다.
나도 이렇게 롱런할지는 몰랐다.

Foot of the Mountain (2009) 앨범의 대미를 장식한 이 곡이
다시 한번 Remix로 Cast in Steel (2015)에 수록되어서 반가웠다.

A-ha - Start The Simulator (Foot of the Mountain, 2009-06-12 / Cast in Steel, 2015-09-04)

Lyrics, Music : Paul Waaktaar-Savoy

Start the simulator
Controllers, listen up
What’s your status, Guidance?
Let’s take it from the top
Coming up on docking
The beginnings of a tear
Clearing the tower
We take the air

Start the simulator
Give your tanks a stir
The bright ejecta blanket
All is still a blur
Switch to Omni Bravo
B bus under volt
Roll right to zero
Steady as she goes

We’re going to fly so high
Into the rendered sky
We’re going to be all right
Inside the endless night

Start the simulator
I.S.O. valves are gray
EDS to manual
Translation looks okay
Save it for the splash-down
Things you want undone
You’re in command now
Your home away from home

You’re in control now
Now you’re on your own
