메리 홉킨 (Mary Hopkin) - Those were the days (1968)

백화점 끝날때 나오는 노래 'Good bye'를 부르신 분으로 널리(?) 알려진 메리 홉킨 (Mary Hopkin)
소속사는 그 유명한 'Apple Records'
닥터후 뉴 시즌5 '에이미 폰드' 역의 '캐런 길런' (Karen Gillan)은 '메리 홉킨' (Mary Hopkin)를 제법 닮았다는 생각이 든다.

'Those were the days'는 Boris Fomin이 작곡한 Дорогой длинною [Dorogoi dlinnoyu]를
1925년 Tamara Tsereteli와 1926년 Alexander Vertinsky가 각각 발표하였고,
Gene Raskin가 영어가사를 붙인 곡이다.

메리 홉킨이 18세때 부른 이 곡을
이제와서 나이드니 가사가 와 닿네..
아직은 "My friend we're older but no wiser" 인가봐...
철들자 망령이려나 :-p

Mary Hopkin - Those were the days (1968, live in France: 1969)

Writers : Boris Fomin, Gene Raskin / Producer : Paul McCartney

Once upon a time there was a tavern
Where we used to raise a glass or two
Remember how we laughed away the hours
And dreamed of all the great things we would do

Those were the days my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance for ever and a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose
For we were young and sure to have our way.
La la la la...

Then the busy years went rushing by us
We lost our starry notions on the way
If by chance I'd see you in the tavern
We'd smile at one another and we'd say

Those were the days my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance for ever and a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days
La la la la...

Just tonight I stood before the tavern
Nothing seemed the way it used to be
In the glass I saw a strange reflection
Was that lonely woman really me

Those were the days my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance for ever and a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days
La la la la...

Through the door there came familiar laughter
I saw your face and heard you call my name
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same

Those were the days my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance for ever and a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days
La la la la...

Duncan Browne - Give Me, Take You (1968)

격하게 아끼는
던컨 브라운의 Give me, Take me
가끔 우울할때 듣는다.

Duncan Browne - Give Me, Take You (1968)

I give you me and you take
I offer real and you give me fake
Only an expert can tell between the two
Why don't you take from me what I give to you?

You take from me and I give
What is killing me makes you live
Give to me what it takes to be
And take from you what it means to see

So give to you and I'll take from me
Through your deafness I will hear and
Through my blindness you will see
Take what I give and only you will see
What I give to you is only what you give to me

(I should take but still I give
You should give out but still you take
We miss each other by a breath)

I give you me and you take
I offer real and you give me fake
Only an expert can tell between the two
Why don't you take from me what I give to you?


Duncan Browne - Dwarf In A Tree (A Cautionary Tale) (1968)

There was a dwarf who lived in a tree
I could see him just like you see me
He told me secrets I never knew
Misfortune would fill him with glee

I gave him smiles, he gave me words
And said that I should hear what he said
That you and I should walk through our ears
Into darkness and enter our heads

See our thoughts like films on a screen
Play back what we don't understand
Rub out words we never meant
Vanish tears with a smile of the hand

What people say is said for all time
We remember what we don't forget
Putting words to a beautiful mime
And confusion is all that we get

To say hello is all that's required
Dig too deep and you get in a mess
Forcing smiles with lips that are tired
If you don't know the truth then you guess

The dwarf would laugh and stand on his head
Hang upside from the tree
And say that reasons should be left unsaid
Or you'll end up a dwarf like me

You'll stunt your mind and cripple your heart
Wanting to know why and what
And start to panic when boredom starts
So just be glad to have what you've got

The tree is gone and so has the dwarf
And all that's left is a hole
But don't be fooled that he's gone far away
He's just biding his time in your soul


리듬감 충만한 Wild Places. 후반부의 연주가 끝내준다.

Duncan Browne - Wild places (1978)

A prima donna, slipped into her leather
But she was restless
She knew it in her heart of hearts
She said "Tonight you'd better pull yourself together,
Because tonight I'm gonna pull myself apart!"
Out on the streets
Everyone is searchin' for a thrill
But she's the only one that's out there
really dressed to kill
And she said "Listen to me, it's not a tragedy,
This time I'm gettin' thorough and now there's
something you can do for me!

And oh, oh, take me to the Wild Places
And let me show you what the night is for
Cos I don't wanna dream
I wanna set the wheels in motion
I don't wanna see your eyes across a dancin' floor"

TV angel with her eyes full of smoke
Gazin' at the hero, he's so mucho macho
He shrugs, he says "This must be some kind on joke."
As she pulls on his cigarette and loves him to distraction.
But she cries, "I don't wanna feel like a machine
I'm not the only one who wants to feel the in-between
That's why I'm deep into this state of fascination
That's why I've lost the art of conversation.

And oh, oh, take me to the Wild Places
If you wanna see what's really in my soul
But you'd better keep your eye on where my pretty face is
Cos in the heat of the moment I just lose control
In the heat of the moment, I just lose control!"

Eyes out of focus, the sharpening of blades
The sad tension, reek of patchouli
Even the jokers are dealin' in spades
It's one dimension, it's all so passé'
Just then a voice said,
"Honey, it's too late to change your mind"
Her face tightened
I could see she'd found a new design
and she said, "Listen to me, it's just a fantasy
This time I'm comin through
and now there's something you can do for me...
There's something you can do for me!

And oh, oh, take me to the Wild Places
And let me show you what the night is for
I don't wanna dream, I wanna set the wheels in motion
Cos' in the heat of the moment I just lose control
In the heat of the moment I just lose control."

행성탈출 Planet of the Apes (1968)

콰이강의 다리 (Le Pont de la rivière Kwaï, The Bridge over the River Kwai) (소설 1952, 영화 1957),
행성탈출 (La planète des singes, Planet of the Apes) (소설 1963, 영화 1968)
(혹성탈출이라는 일본어는 쓰지 않도록 한다.)

두 작품에는 삐에르 불르 (Pierre Boulle)의 원작이라는 말이 따라다닌다.
두작품에서 알수있듯이 역설적이면서도 매력적이며 독특한 시각을 가진 프랑스 작가이다.

콰이강의 다리에서는 아군에게 방해가 되고 곧 없어질 것을 알면서도 끝까지 다리를 완성하려는 한 인간의 모습을 그렸고
행성탈출에서는 인간과 동물(원숭이)의 위치를 바꿔놓고 바라보는 역지사지의 모습을 그리고 있다.
특히 행성탈출의 (누구나 아는) 마지막 장면은 대단히 충격이라 할 수 있다.
그 성공을 배경으로 4개의 영화가 더 만들어졌는데, 오래전 KBS 토요명화에서 방송해 주었고 그 영화들도 여러가지를 생각하게 한다.

이 영화를 다시 보고는 원숭이 탈을 쓰고 하는 연기가 쉽지는 않았을텐데,
많은 대사보다는 한 번의 원숭이의 눈빛 연기에 매료되었다.
어떻게 보면 원숭이를 연기한 눈이지만 그 눈이 인간의 눈이라기 보다는 동물의 눈이라는데 몰입되고 빨려들어간 것이다.
내셔널 지오그라픽에서 가끔 나오는 고래의 눈이라던지, 겁에 잔득 질린 늑대의 눈, 강렬한 검은 피부의 고릴라의 깊은 눈...
그 모든 동물의 역사가 새겨져 있는 영장류의 눈에 선과 악, 둘 다 표현하는 그 원숭이 탈 속의 눈이 가끔 떠오를때면 온 몸에 전율이 내리기도 한다. 그 눈에서 사악한 인간의 눈을 보았다고 생각하면 좀 지나친 얘기일까?

(행성탈출 5부작을 앞으로 볼 생각이면 아래 내용(1, 2, 3, 4, 5)을 읽지 않는게 좋겠다)
1. 원숭이 행성 (1968) : 우주를 가로질러 도착한 행성. 그 행성을 지배하는 원숭이와의 만남. 그리고 마지막에 행성의 정체를 알게되고 오열하는 주인공의 모습이 인상적이다.
2. 원숭이 행성의 지하 (1970) : 행성을 원숭이에게 점령당하고 쫓겨다니다가 지하의 소수의 미친 인간들에 의해 핵공격으로 모두 파멸을 맞이하게 된다.
3. 원숭이 행성에서 탈출(1971) : 살아남은 원숭이들이 시간을 거슬러 도착한 지구에서 인간의 우스광스런 행위를 조롱하고 비판한다. 그리고 그들의 2세의 탄생을 보게 된다.
4. 원숭이 행성의 정복(1972) : 인류가 노예로 키우는 원숭이들이 급기야 반란과 폭력, 인류 문화의 몰락을 보게 된다. 이때 처음으로 원숭이들은 살인의 달콤한 유혹의 맛보고 유혈폭동을 일으킨다.
5. 마지막 편인 원숭이 행성의 전투(1973) : 원숭이와 인류가 대치하는 가운데 마지막 전투와 그 이후 인류와 원숭이의 화해(융합)를 이끌어 낸다.

3편은 흥미롭고 유쾌한 반면 4편은 가히 섬득하고 존경스럽기까지 하다.
바그너의 작품(니벨룽겐의 반지)과 스타워즈 에피소드5와 에일리언3, 은하철도999 마지막편에서 처럼
그 몰락, 구원, 죽음등의 묵시록적 모습에 끌리는 느낌처럼 대단한 작품이다.
니체의 바그너 비판에서 보면 그 시대상이 decadence를 지향하고 있고 그것과 예술의 결합이 퇴페와 죽음의 동경에 이르러 인간 본성의 몰락과 소멸의 숙명적 갈망이 있다고 본다. 쉽게 말해서 싸움구경이나 불구경, 소위 막장 드라마등의 몰락의 이미지에 이상하게도 그 끌림이 있다는 것이다. 음악에 있어서도 그 음표들이 점점 올라가는 모습과 대조적으로 한없이 내려가는 단조의 음에 귀를 쫑긋하게 되는 것과 같은 이치다. 한마디로 이런주제롤 택하면 반은 성공이란 셈이다. 상업적 흥행코드. 그리고 상당히 많은 헐리웃 영화에서 채택하고 있는 방식이기도 하다. 실제 흥행도 좋겠지만 사실 여러가지 요인으로 이 주제가 흥행 못한 것도 많았다. 하지만 그 뇌리 어딘가엔 남아있다는 것.

이 행성탈출을 감독한 프랭클린 샤프너 (Franklin J. Schaffner)의 브라질에서 온 소년들 (The Boys from Brazil, 1978)도 화려한 배역(Laurence Olivier, Gregory Peck등)은 둘째치고라도 그 스토리(히틀러의 클론에 대한)가 흥미있다.

Planet of The Apes (1968)에서 결정적인 장면인
목을 다쳐 말 못하고 도망치던 테일러(Charlton Heston)가 그물에 잡혀 원숭이들에게 끌려가려 할때 갑자기 말문이 트이며..
Tayor : Take your stinking paws off me. You damn dirty ape!
(냄새나는 발 치워. 이 더러운 원숭이놈아!)

Rain and Tears - Demis Roussos (1968)

8강진출은 실패했지만.. 웬지 이곡이 듣고 싶어졌다.
환상적인 목소리의 그리스계 이집트인인 Demis Roussos의 Aphrodite's Child 시절의 곡이다.
예전에 외갓집에 항상 가면 굴러다니던 데미루소앨범이 .. 지금은 어딧는지..

Rain and Tears (End of the World, 1968)


Rain and tears are the same,
but in the sun
you've got to play the game.

When you cry in winter time,
you can pretend
it's nothing but the rain.

How many times I've seen
tears coming from your blue eyes.

Rain and tears are the same,
but in the sun
you've got to play the game.

Give me an answer of love,
I need an answer of love.

Rain and tears in the sun
but in your heart
you feel the rainbow waves.

Rain and tears both I shun,
for in my heart
there'll never be a sun.

Rain and tears are the same,
but in the sun
you've got to play the game.


듣고 있으면 시원해 지는 느낌이다.
My Friend The Wind (Goodbye, my love, goodbye, 1973)


My friend the wind will come from the hills
When dawn will rise, he'll wake me again
My friend the wind will tell me a secret
He shares with me, he shares with me

My friend the wind will come from the north
With words of love, she whispered for me
My friend the wind will say she loves me
And me alone, and me alone

I'll hear her voice and the words
That he brings from Helenimou
Sweet as a kiss are the songs of Aghapimou
Soft as the dew is the touch of Manoulamou
Oh oh oh

We'll share a dream where I'm never away from Helenimou
Blue are the days like the eyes of Aghapimou
Far from the world will I live with Manoulamou
Oh oh oh

My friend the wind go back to the hills
And tell my love a day will soon come
Oh friendly wind you tell her a secret
You know so well, oh you know so well

My friend the wind will come from the north
With words of love, she whispered for me
My friend the wind will say she loves me
And me alone, and me alone

I'll hear her voice and the words
That he brings from Helenimou
Sweet as a kiss are the songs of Aghapimou
Soft as the dew is the touch of Manoulamou
Oh oh oh

We'll share a dream where I'm never away from Helenimou
Blue are the days like the eyes of Aghapimou
Far from the world will I live with Manoulamou
Oh oh oh

La la la .... Helenimou
La la la .... Aghapimou
La la la .... Manoulamou

La la la .... Helenimou
La la la .... Aghapimou
La la la .... Manoulamou



From Souvenirs To Souvenirs (Souvenirs, 1975)


A lonely room and empty chair
Another day so hard to bear
The things around me that I see remind me of
The past and how it all used to be

From souvenirs to more souvenirs I live
With days gone by when our hearts had all to give
From souvenirs to more souvenirs I live
With dreams you left behind
I'll keep on turning in my mind

There'll never be another you
No one will share the worlds we knew
And now that loneliness has come to take your place
I close my eyes and see your face

From souvenirs to more souvenirs I live
With days gone by when our hearts had all to give
From souvenirs to more souvenirs I live
With dreams you left behind
I'll keep on turning in my mind..



Forever and ever (Forevr and ever, 1973)


Ever and ever, forever and ever you'll be the one
that shines in me like the morning sun.
Ever and ever, forever and ever you'll be my spring,
my rainbow's end and the song I sing.

Take me far beyond imagination.
You're my dream come true, my consolation.

Ever and ever, forever and ever you'll be my dream,
my symphony, my own lover's theme.
Ever and ever, forever and ever my destiny
will follow you eternally.

Take me far beyond imagination.
You're my dream come true, my consolation.

Ever and ever, forever and ever you'll be the one
that shines in me like the morning sun.
Ever and ever, forever and ever my destiny
will follow you eternally.
