One shot for my pain

개인적으로 우울한 일이 있어서
문득 생각이 나서 찾아봤다.

덤파운데드가 데이빗 초이랑 같이
피버 서울 행사에서 라이브를 했었다.

(갠적으로 데이빗 초이 목소리에 선호가 없어서, 이 버전이 더 좋다 나는)

뭐 음악평론가가 아닌 초라한 내 입장에서 말하자면

블루스란 그런 것 같다. 정말로
난 오늘 망했지만 내일은 괜찮을 거야.

이 말도 안되는 낙관성 안에 들어 있는 역사, 슬픔, 고통, 어쩌면 희망이고 어쩌면 절망인

그 느낌이 블루스의 전부인듯?





Liquor store blues


Chorus 1:

Standing at this liquor store, whiskey coming through my pores, feeling like i run this whole block, lotto tickets cheap here, thats why you can catch me here, trynna to scratch my way up to the top, cause my jobs got me going nowhere, so i aint gotta thing to lose, take me to a place where i dont care, this is me and my liquor store blues

Verse 1:

Im at the Liquor store, swisher rolled, mr. cho, give me mo’, a drink or fo, a sinking soul, that needs you bro, change in my pockets low, stop and go, hook me up for cheaper though, I pull the race card cause its Korean owned , I’ve seen the older folk put there fate in some lucky numbers, a pack of smokes are bad for throats but it does do wonders, ive spent a bunch of summers, hanging out at store fronts, that sweet sound of ringing bells once the door shuts, scored blunts and took everything thats inside out, I treat this place like my personal hideout, 40 ounce to freedom, 30 days of drinkin, but im only in my 20′s and im thinking that I need it, never sleeping like a genius, positioned like a fetus, it’s a cold world we live in, and the liquor keeps me heated, i just spit my old English, while i dream about them new castles, and homeless man I want the same thing that you ask fo. (Change),

Chorus 2:

Cause my jobs got me going nowhere, so i aint gotta thing to lose, take me to a place where i dont care, this is me and my liquor store blues, i take one shot for my pain, one track for my sorrow, i get messed up today, i’ll be okay tomorrow

Verse 2:

Ive seen the children in my hood rot there teeth away, there are no healthy spots around here to eat and play, ive seen my father go get money out the b of a, just to buy some e and j I guess its in my DNA, I’ve seen bullets flyin barely scratchin thick glass, I’ve seen the foolish dyin in pursuit of quick cash, sugar and spice down the aisles I need my fix fast, give me that high like a ride up at six flags, they tell me come again, like its my punishment, and I get dominatrix wasted like I’m lovin it, yellow and black sign lit up like a cabride, pull in as I pass by, and say that it’s the last time, the doors are always open, hopin that they never close, grim reaper getting close cloaked in clothes from metal shows, broadcastin 24, suburbanites and ghetto folks, some of yall will never know, my liquor store blues

Chorus 3:

Standing at this liquor store, whiskey coming through my pores, feeling like i run this whole block, lotto tickets cheap here, thats why you can catch me here, trynna to scratch my way up to the top, cause my jobs got me going nowhere, so i aint gotta thing to lose, take me to a place where i dont care, this is me and my liquor store blues, i take one shot for my pain, one track for my sorrow, i get messed up today, i’ll be okay tomorrow, i take one shot for my pain, one track for my sorrow, i get messed up today, i’ll be okay tomorrow




* 아. 원래 이 노래는 브루노 마스가 부른 거고, 이걸 덤파운데드와 빅터킴이 리믹스해서 유툽에 공개한거다. 난 이 문화도 좋다 한국도 이런 일이 많았으면 좋겠다. 왜 이 노래가 저 사람 목소리로 나오면 어떨까 하는 상상을 많이 하게 되니까.
원곡 브루노 마스 버전은 정말 블루스 같은 느낌에 편곡도 그렇다. 그런데 덤파운데드 버전은 어쿠스틱이라고 쓴 대로 정말 목소리만 들리는데 여튼 가사나 목소리나 뭐 다 난 덤파운데드 버전을 좋아하므로 여기 이걸 올린다.



* 근데 미국에도 검은 비니루 봉지가 있는 거신가? 마지막에 캔맥주 마실때 쫌 웃김. 그리고 배경도 아무리 제목이 리쿼 스토어가 들어갔다고 ㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎ
