(by Alex Henderson)

Youn Sun Nah is well regarded for her remarkable vocal prowess. The Korean jazz vocalist’s ability to present each song in her own unique style filled full of emotions and passion has consistently captured her audience in attentive silence, ending with roaring appreciation. The songstress traverse the vocal spectrum effortlessly to the extent where she’s not just another vocalist, she’s a musical instrument. French newspaper, Le Monde described her as “a UFO touching the universe of jazz with a magnificent voice and passionate originality; Jubilation in triple time”. Growing up in a musical family where her father was a conductor and her mother, a musical actress, music has always been in her life. Nah eventually began her own musical journey and made her first debut at the tender age of 23 at a joint concert collaborating with the Korean Symphony Orchestra. The performance was her stepping-stone into the Korean music scene. Though Nah was making waves in the Korean music scene, she decided to move to Paris in 1995 to study jazz and chanson. Striving for only the best, she enrolled herself into the CIM Jazz School, one of the oldest jazz schools in Europe. She also studied at the National Music Institute of Beauvais as well as the Nadia and Lili Boulanger Conservatory. Nah’s innate talent for jazz began to shine brighter when she started performing extensively in the French jazz scene with her group YSN 5tet at jazz clubs, national theatres and festivals. News of this Korean marvel reached many famous musicians who were excited to collaborate with her.

Nah also made a strong showing in a number of jazz concours such as La Défense, St. Maur, Montmartre and the renowned Jazz à Juan Révélations. Her 2009 album ‘Voyage’ made it into the French top ten of the jazz charts and won the coveted “CHOC” as CD of the month (Jazzman). One of her paramount recognitions comes from the French government where she was conferred the title Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres in recognition of her contributions to the arts in 2009. While Nah’s career in Europe took flight, home was taking notice of her accomplishments abroad. The Korean Ministry of Culture and Tourism presented her with the Young Artist of the Year award in 2005. Her 2009 album, ‘Voyage’ received the Best Jazz & Crossover Record of the Year at the 6th Korean Music Awards. Many venues and festivals across the globe also recognize Nah’s talents. She has been invited to perform at numerous events such as Jazz at Lincoln Center (New York), International Pori Jazz Festival (Finland), Montreal Jazz Festival (Canada), TD Vancouver International Jazz Festival (Canada), Parc Floral de Paris (France), Marciac Jazz Festival (France), Mai Jazz Festival (Norway), Cully Jazz Festival (Switzerland), Java Jazz Festival (Indonesia), Penang Island Jazz Festival (Malaysia) and Jarasum International Jazz Festival (South Korea), among many others. The impressive travel is further reinforced by a world tour with Ulf Wakenius that visited 50 cities in 19 countries as well as participating in Karsten Jahnke Konzertdirektion’s Jazz Today tour, one of Germany’s most famous music agency’s concert series.

Nah’s current project sees her collaborating with Swedish guitarist Ulf Wakenius. The stripped down format provides ample of space for the two talented musicians to improvise and explore the many facets of jazz. The vocal prowess of Youn Sun Nah and Ulf Wakenius’ prolific guitar skills complement each other amazingly well. Their unique musical chemistry allows them to traverse different musical aspects, creating very interesting musical dialogues. To date, the duo has released two albums under top German jazz label ACT, Voyage (2009) and Same Girl (2010). The latest album ‘Same Girl’ embraces 11 fascinating songs interpretations such as ‘My Favorite Things’ to ‘La Chanson d'Hélène’ and ‘Enter Sandman’ as well as original compositions ‘Uncertain Weather’ and ‘Breakfast In Baghdad’. The diversity of the album showcases her distinctive voice building the framework for her multi-faceted musical taste. Michel Contat from French Media Company Telerama exclaims, “Delicious is the word that comes to mind when you listen to Youn Sun Nah. But the young Korean is also moving, radiant, sometimes funny, always sensual, a spicy creature of the night. Her voice is ideally in tune, with trills in the upper register that cleave you to the core." Her collaboration with Ulf Wakenius at this point of Nah’s musical journey presents a unique performance filled to the brim with emotions and impressive musical talent; one that many have experienced and yearn for more. "We often imagine that jazz can only come from the US or from Europe, and in that case, mainly from France. Well, you can throw out all those received ideas: the greatest jazz singer of today is Korean. Her name is Youn Sun NAH. Those fortunate enough to have seen her on stage know to what dizzying heights she can lead them,” proclaims Renaud Czarnes of Les Echos (France).

The Moon's A Harsh Mistress

( Jimmy Webb )

See her how she flies
Golden sails across the sky
Close enough to touch
But careful if you try
Though she looks as she's warm as gold
The moon's a harsh mistress
The moon can be so cold

Once the sun did shine
Oh good Lord, it felt so fine
The moon a phantom rose
Through the mountains and the pines
And then the darkness fell
The moon's a harsh mistress
It's hard to love her well

Once the sun did shine
Oh good Lord, it felt so fine
The moon a phantom rose
Through the mountains and the pines
And then the darkness fell
The moon's a harsh mistress
It's hard to love her well

Rainy Day

( Jeandidier, Bouchety-kim Kwang Min)

L'amère nostalgie du rivage, de ce rivage
Ciel orageux, soleil silencieux se perd doucement
Seule dans la brume, penchée sur l'écume
J’attends le reflet de mon image
Soudain ton visage

L'amère solitude du rivage, de ce rivage
Ciel orageux, soleil silencieux se perd doucement
Tes yeux me sourient, la mer s'adoucit
Le ciel s'éclaircit dans l'arc en ciel
Tu es là

L'amère nostalgie du rivage, de ce rivage
Ciel orageux, soleil silencieux se perd doucement
Seule dans la brume, penchée sur l'écume
J’attends le reflet de mon image
Soudain ton visage
Tes yeux me sourient, la mer s'adoucit
Le ciel s'éclaircit dans l'arc en ciel
Tu es là qui me sert dans tes bras
Tu es là qui me sert dans tes bras

The Jody Grind

( Horace Silver )

If you are a sailor
A soldier or marine
Well Jody's got your woman
When you're not on the scene

No need to worry
And to get all uptight
Jody's teatin' her good tonight

All you other fellas
Just treat your woman right
'Cause Jody's steady hittin'
When you're out of sight

No need to worry
And to get all uptight
Jody's treatin' her good tonight

If you are a sailor
A soldier or marine
Well Jody's got your woman
When you're not on the scene

No need to worry
And to get all uptight
Jody's teatin' her good tonight

All you other fellas
Just treat your woman right
'Cause Jody's steady hittin'
When you're out of sight

No need to worry
And to get all uptight
Jody's treatin' her good tonight
Jody's treatin' her good tonight

No need to worry
And to get all uptight
Jody

Ballad for friends

( Han Kyung Hye - Frederique Silvestre)

난 만날것 같아 세상 어디에선가
오랜만이라며 반갑게 너를..
난 믿겨지지 않아 마지막 너의 모습
난 보지 못했으니 너 떠난적 내겐 없는거야
함께 숨쉬던 하늘 어제처럼 높아
어떤 슬픔없이 달라진게 없잖아

이 꿈에서 깨면 다시 돌아 올거야
짧은 이별뒤에 내가 너무 그리웠다고

The Night Has A Thousand Eyes

( Buddy Bernier / Jerry Brainin )

Don't whisper words to me
You don't mean for words deep down inside can be seen by the night
The night has a thousand eyes
And it knows a truthful heart from one that lies

Through romance may have called
In the past my love for you will be everlasting and bright
As bright as the starlit skies
And this wondrous night that has a thousand eyes

I've lived my life walking through a dream for
I knew someday I'd find this moment supreme
A night of bliss and tender sighs
And the smiling down of a thousand eyes

Don't whisper words to me
You don't mean for words deep down inside can be seen by the night
The night has a thousand eyes
And it knows a truthful heart from one that lies

Through romance may have called
In the past my love for you will be everlasting and bright
As bright as the starlit skies
And this wondrous night that has a thousand eyes

I've lived my life walking through a dream for
I knew someday I'd find this moment supreme
A night of bliss and tender sighs
And the smiling down of a thousand eyes

Your Face

Grey colored rain faded rainbows
No sun above me, hidden by the dust
I lost my way, nobody here
This howling breeze, fast falling night
No moon above me, misplaced in the dark
I lost my way, nobody here

I'm calling you desperately
There's nowhere to go, no one takes my hand
Say here I am, I'm here for you
I see your face in starless skies
Your bright eyes guide me
Trying to touch your sleeve
I let it slip through my fingers

Grey colored rain faded rainbows
No sun above me, hidden by the dust
I lost my way, nobody here
This howling breeze, fast falling night
No moon above me, misplaced in the dark
I lost my way, nobody here

I'm calling you desperately
There's nowhere to go, no one takes my hand
Say here I am, I'm here for you
I see your face in starless skies
Your bright eyes guide me
Trying to touch your sleeve
I let it slip through my fingers

Blueside

Sometimes I get nervous around you
Do you know the reason
Why, why, why
I'm sick of you talking your head off
When will you stop it
Now, now, now
Be yourself and look around
Where is your reality

Sometimes I get nervous around you
Do you know the reason
Why, why, why
I'm sick of you talking your head off
When will you stop it
Now, now, now
Be yourself and look around
Where is your reality

Hard To Say Goodbye

( Anders Edenroth / Toots Thielemans )

It's always hard to say goodbye
Leaving the ones you love behind
I don't know where or when we'll meet again
Let us hope that fate will be kind

It's always hard to say goodbye
Although you know you'd soon return
It's getting harder than with every year
I don't think I ever will learn

Say goodbye my love
It's always hard to say
Say goodbye my love
I hope one day I'd stay

It's always hard to say goodbye
I know my heart and so says why
There is no other word I've said or heard
That I find so hard as goodbye

It's always hard to say goodbye

Time After Time

( Sammy Cahn / Jule Styne )

Time after time
I tell myself that I'm
So lucky to be loving you
So lucky to be the one you run to see
In the evening when the day is through

I only know what I know
What I know
The passing years will show
You're kept my love so young so new

So time after time
You'll hear me say that I'm
So lucky to be loving you
So lucky to be loving you
So lucky to be loving you

Happy Hour

( Frank Woeste )

Now long time ago I remember
Long time ago used to walk the streets of this old town
Many memories passing my mind
Sounds voices all around

Look, children over there playing all day
Playing in the sun
Laughing, dancing, joking, having fun
People smiling, traveling in my way
As I sing my song

I still recall hearing the music in the air
How could I dare to think of troubles far away from here
I sing along my melody of this old town
I want to sing this melody for you

Now long time ago I remember
Long time ago used to walk the streets of this old town
Many memories passing my mind
Sounds voices all around

Look, children over there playing all day
Playing in the sun
Laughing, dancing, joking, having fun
People smiling, traveling in my way
As I sing my song

I still recall hearing the music in the air
How could I dare to think of troubles far away from here
I sing along my melody of this old town
I want to sing this melody for you

Now long time ago I remember
Long time ago used to walk the streets of this old town
Many memories passing my mind
Sounds, voices all around
Many memories passing my mind
Sounds, voices all around

Reflet

Fly with my tears and fly with my fears
My birds, whenever I feel too low
You spread and take wing to this lonely island here, birds
You returned, your voices returned

You say
"Throw away your pains and woes
And lift up your eyes to us
Then just spread your arms"

Hopes can bring a miracle
And my prayer is real
Oh my heart goes pit-a-pat
Slowly I'm flying, oh I'm flying

Hopes can bring a miracle
And my prayer is real
Oh my heart goes pit-a-pat
Slowly I'm flying, oh I'm flying

Chowoo

( Park Choon Suk )

초 우

가슴속에 스며드는 고독에 몸부림칠때
갈길없는 나그네의 꿈은 사라져 비에 젖어우네
너무나 사랑했기에 너무나 사랑했기에
마음의 상처 잊을길없어 빗소리도 흐느끼네

너무나 사랑했기에 너무나 사랑했기에
마음의 상처 잊을길 없어 빗소리도 흐느끼네

One Way

다가서다 그저 다가서다 힘겹게 걸음을 돌리네
바라보다 그저 바라보다 어렵게 고개를 돌리네
바라지 않아도 기대하진 않아도
기억할까하는 부질하는 생각
난오늘도 다시 돌고 여기에

Bésame Mucho

( Consuelo Velázquez )

Bésame, bésame mucho
Como si fuera esta noche la última vez
Bésame, bésame mucho
Que tengo miedo perderte, perderte otra vez

Bésame, bésame mucho
Como si fuera esta noche la última vez
Bésame, bésame mucho
Que tengo miedo perderte, perderte otra vez

Quiero tenerte muy
Cerca, mirarme en tus
Ojos, verte junto a mí
Piensa que tal vez
Mañana yo ya estaré
Lejos, muy lejos de ti

Bésame, bésame mucho
Como si fuera esta noche la última vez
Bésame, bésame mucho
Que tengo miedo perderte, perderte otra vez

Bésame, bésame mucho
Como si fuera esta noche la última vez
Bésame, bésame mucho
Que tengo miedo perderte, perderte otra vez

Bésame, bésame mucho
Como si fuera esta noche la última vez
Bésame, bésame mucho
Que tengo miedo perderte, perderte otra vez

Quiero tenerte muy
Cerca, mirarme en tus
Ojos, verte junto a mí
Piensa que tal vez
Mañana yo ya estaré
Lejos, muy lejos de ti

Bésame, bésame mucho
Como si fuera esta noche la última vez
Bésame, bésame mucho
Que tengo miedo perderte, perderte después
Que tengo miedo perderte, perderte después
Que tengo miedo perderte, perderte después
Bésame, bésame mucho

Sometimes I'm Happy

(V. Youmans, I. Caesar)

Sometimes I'm happy
Sometimes I'm blue
My disposition
Depends on you

I never mind
The rain from the sky
If I can find
The sun in your eyes

Sometimes I love you
Sometimes I hate you
But when I hate you
It's 'cause I love you

That's how I am
So what can I do
I'm happy when I'm with you

Sometimes I'm happy
Sometimes I'm blue
My disposition
Depends on you

I never mind
The rain from the sky
If I can find
The sun in your eyes

Sometimes I love you
Sometimes I hate you
But when I hate you
It's 'cause I love you

That's how I am
So what can I do
I'm happy when I'm with you

Sometimes I love you
Sometimes I hate you
But when I hate you
It's 'cause I love you

Sometimes I'm happy
Sometimes I'm happy

Your Face

Grey colored rain faded rainbows
No sun above me, hidden by the dust
I lost my way, nobody here

This howling breeze, fast falling night
No moon above me, misplaced in the dark
I lost my way, nobody here

I'm calling you desperately
There's nowhere to go, no one takes my hand
Say here I am, I'm here for you

I see your face in starless skies
Your bright eyes guide me
Trying to touch your sleeve
I let it slip through my fingers

Grey colored rain faded rainbows
No sun above me, hidden by the dust

Down By Love

A Medida Da Paixao

( Dudu Falcao - Lenine )

E como se a gente nao soubesse
Pra que lado foi vida
Por que tanta solidao
E nao e a dor que me entristece
E nao ter uma saida
Nem medida na paxao

Foi, o amor se foi perdido
Foi tao distraido
Que nem me avisou
Foi, o amor se foi calado
Tao desesperado
Que me machucou

E como se a gente pressentisse
Tudo que o amor nao disse
Diz agora essa aflicao
E ficou o cheiro pelo ar
Ficou o medo de ficar
Vazio demais meu corcao

Foi, o amor se foi perdido
Foi tao distraido
Que nem me avisou
Foi, o amor se foi calado
Tao desesperado
Que me machucou

Into Dust

( Mazzy star )

Still falling
Breathless and on again
Inside today
Beside me today

Around broken in two
'Till you eyes shed
Into dust
Like two strangers
Turning into dust
'Till my hand shook with the way I fear

I could possibly be fading
Or have something more to gain
I could feel myself growing colder
I could feel myself under your fate
Under your fate

It was you breathless and tall
I could feel my eyes turning into dust
And two strangers turning into dust
Turning into dust

Turning into dust
Turning into dust
I could feel my eyes turning into dust
Turning into dust

Consider Me Gone

( Sumner Gorden )

You can't say that
You can't say that
You can't say that
You can't say that

You can't say that
You can't say that
You can't say that
You can't say that

There were rooms of forgiveness
In the house that we shared
But the space has been emptied
Of whatever was there

There were cupboards of patience
There were shelf-loads of care
But whoever came calling
Found nobody there

After today, after today
Consider me gone

You can't say that
You can't say that
You can't say that
You can't say that

Roses have thorns and shining waters mud
And cancer lurks deep in the sweetest bud
Clouds and eclipses stain the moon and the sun
And history reeks of the wrongs we have done

After today, after today
Consider me gone

You can't say that
You can't say that
You can't say that
You can't say that

I've spent too many years at war with myself
The doctor has told me it's no good for my health
To search for perfection is all very well
But to look for heaven is to live here in hell

After today, after today
Consider me gone

You can't say that
You can't say that
You can't say that
You can't say that

Old Friends

( Simon And Garfunkel )

Old friends, old friends
Sat on their parkbench like bookends
A newspaper blowin' through the grass
Falls on the round toes
Of the high shoes of the old friends

Old friends
Winter companions, the old men
Lost in their overcoats, waiting for the sun
The sounds of the city sifting through trees
Settles like dust on the shoulders of the old friends

Can you imagine us years from today
Sharing a parkbench quietly
How terribly strange to be seventy

Old friends, memory brushes the same years
Silently sharing the same fears

Time it was and what a time it was, it was
A time of innocence, a time of confidences
Long ago it must be, I have a photograph
Preserve your memories
They’re all that’s left you

Camille's Song

Why did I wander
Alone as a lonely cloud
I don't know why
I don't know why
I can say
The only reason was to find you
Happiness seems far
But sometimes it is at your doorstep

Why did I wander
Around like a lonely cloud
I don't know why
I don't know why
If I'd known
You were nowhere else but just near by me
Happiness seems far
But sometimes it is at your doorstep

Why did I wander
Alone as a lonely cloud
I don't know why
I don't know why
I can say the only reason was to find you

Happiness seems far
But sometimes it is at your doorstep

Down by Love

I live my life
I love my heart
I keep going on my way
I'm flying high
I'm falling down
My will can change at all

You're like a mirage
You're like a dream
I hardly ever can feel your existence
You're like a rainbow
You're like a chance
You don't stand where I waited for you

I'll let you go
Don't ask me why
I simply want a run away
I let you go
Don't ask me how
My sorrow will be passed

Life's like a journey
Life's like a dream
You can't imagine who you will run into
Love's like a gambling
Love is like a life
You can't know how it's ending will be

I live my life
I love my heart
I keep going on my way
I'm flying high
I'm falling down
My will can change at all

어두운 비 내려오면
처마 밑에 한 아이 울고 서 있네
그 맑은 두 눈에 빗물 고이면
음.. 아름다운 그이는 사람이어라

세찬 바람 불어오면
들판에 한 아이 달려오네
그 더운 가슴에 바람 안으면
음.. 아름다운 그이는 사람이어라

새 하얀 눈 내려오면
산 위에 한 아이 우뚝 서 있네
그 고운 마음에 노래 울리면
음.. 아름다운 그이는 사람이어라
그이는 아름다운 사람이어라

Manic Depression

( Jimi Hendrix )

Manic depression is touching my soul
I know what I want but I just don't know
How to, go about gettin' it
Feeling sweet feeling
Drops from my fingers, fingers
Manic depression is catchin' my soul

Woman so weary, the sweet cause in vain
You make love, you break love
It's all the same
When it's, when it's over
Music, sweet music
I wish I could caress, caress, caress
Manic depression is a frustrating mess

Well, I think I'll go turn myself off
And go on down
All the way down
Really ain't no use in me hanging around
In your kinda scene

Music, sweet music
I wish I could caress, kiss, kiss
Manic depression is a frustrating mess

Oblivion

( Astor Piazzolla )

Lourds, soudain semblent lourds
Les draps de velours de ton lit
quand j'oublie jusqu'a nortre amour

Lourds, soudain semblent lourds
Tes bras qui m'entourent déjà dans la nuit
Mon bateau part, s'en va quelque part
Les gens se séparent, j'oublie, j'oublie

Tard, autre part dans un bar d'acajou
Des violons nous rejouent
Notre melodie, mais j'oublie

Tard on se sépare dans un joue contre joue
Tout devient flou
Et j'oublie, j'oublie

Court, le temps semble court
Le compte a rebours d'une nuit
Quand j'oublie jusqu'à notre amour

Court, le temps semble court
Tes doigts qui parcourent ma ligne de vie
Sans un regard, des hommes on s'égare
Sur un quai de gare j'oublie, j'oublie

No Me Llores Más

No me llores, no me llores más
No me llores, no me llores más

Papi, no me llores lagrimitas
Que me siento una cosita
Que me acaba con el alma

Tata, tú me pones una carita
Que me siento desvalido
Que me perturba la calma

No me llores, no me llores más
No me llores, no me llores más

No quiero que me llores
Que me digas
"mamacita de mi alma eres mi vida"

Sabes que ese disco está rayado
Ya de oírlo tengo canas
Todo es mentira

No me llores, no me llores más
No me llores, no me llores más

No me llores, no me llores más
No me llores, no me llores más

Siempre me está haciendo cuentecitos
Y llorando lagrimitas
Ya me tiene confundido

No pienses que yo trago, mi negrita
Ese cuento no me manga
Ni me turba los sentidos

No me llores, no me llores más
No me llores, no me llores más

Don't cry now
Don't cry anymore...

Painted from Memory

( Burt Bacharach/ Elvis Costello )

Such a picture of loveliness
Didn't you notice the resemblance
Doesn't it look like he could speak
Those eyes I tried to capture
They are lost to me now forever
He smiles for someone else

Funny, how looks can be deceiving
But he's not easily painted from memory

You'd think that I would know by now
Those eyes I tried to capture
They are lost to me now forever
He smiles for someone else

And so this had to be
Painted from memory

He is gone, and I must accept it
He is lost to me now
But I can't look away just yet though
He smiles for someone else

Funny, now I can see
How looks can be deceiving

Funny, now I can see
How looks can be deceiving

So I Am

Down by Love

You're like a mirage
You're like a dream
I hardly ever can feel your existence

You're like a rainbow
You're like a chance
You don't stand where I waited for you

I'll let you go
Don't ask me why
I simply want a run away

I let you go
Don't ask me how
My sorrow will be passed

Life's like a journey
Life's like a dream
You can't imagine who you will run into

Love's like a gambling
Love is like a life
You can't know how it's ending will be

I live my life
I love my heart
I keep going on my way

I'm flying high
I'm falling down
My will can change at all

You're like a mirage
You're like a dream
I hardly ever can feel your existence

You're like a rainbow
You're like a chance
You don't stand where I waited for you

I'll let you go
Don't ask me why
I simply want a run away

I let you go
Don't ask me how
My sorrow will be passed

Life's like a journey
Life's like a dream
You can't imagine who you will run into

Love's like a gambling
Love is like a life
You can't know how it's ending will be

Memory Lane

Eternal Love

I knew from the beginning
I knew right from the start
Only someone very special
Like you, could ever win, my heart

I never stopped to wonder
If we were meant to be
As two hearts that beat together
A part of you was part, of me

In this crazy day and age
Seems that miracles come true
Just imagine by some twist of fate,
Somehow, someway, that I found you

For every day I'm with you,
I love you more and more.
There has never been another
Who's made me feel like this, before

In this crazy day and age
Seems that miracles come true
Just imagine by some twist of fate
Somehow, someway, that I met you

I love you, means forever
In everything I do
'Cause my heart is so completely
Eternally in love, with you

Paper Tiger

Baby you’re hard core lazy all the way
Get off your back side make my day today
Turn off the TV hear me in real time
Listen when I say

Shake out the cobwebs crowding up your mind
Show me that you ain’t no paper tiger
Get on the job now some money would be fine
Hey easy rider

Bragging - bragging showing off - showing off
Full of air - full of air bluffing - bluffing
Dizzy - dizzy out of sync - out of sync
Scatterbrained - scatterbrained lazy - lazy

Castles in the air everything you build
Crumbles in my hand empty words

Wake up come on and tell me is this all I get
I am so fed-up trying hard to make you fit
Into a world that you so easily forget
Hey there now tiger show me your stripes

Law of the jungle the strongest will survive
I’m only asking for you to act alive
You talk about fire but you’re too scared to burn
Come on my paper tiger

Bragging - bragging showing off - showing off
Full of air - full of air bluffing - bluffing
Dizzy - dizzy out of sync - out of sync
Scatterbrained - scatterbrained lazy - lazy

Talk is cheap right now I don’t buy your lies
With your better side out of sight

Wake up come on and tell me is this all I get
I am so fed-up trying hard to make you fit
Into a world that you so easily forget
Hey there now tiger show me your stripes

Wake up come on and tell me is this all I get
I am so fed-up trying hard to make you fit
Into a world that you so easily forget
Hey there now tiger show me your stripes

Wake up come on and tell me is this all I get
I am so fed-up trying hard to make you fit
Into a world that you so easily forget
Hey there now tiger show me your stripes

Memory Lane

All of the things I remember
Are lovely and bittersweet
Shining in faces each December
No new year meets

Sentimental reminiscing
Those stories that I have lived
Some are still vivid others missing
Never to be re-lived

There are a few things that I remember
And wish that I could just forget
Other moments that I’ll always treasure
Indelible stories my life wrote
Both for good and bad

Step back in time in your mind
Find a name walk down memory lane

There are a few things that I’ve forgotten
And wish now I could just recall
Precious seconds lost time can not measure
Incredible stories to be told both happy and sad

Step back in time in your mind
Find someone you loved in life
Take a walk down along memory lane

Anak

When you were born into this world
Your Mom and Dad saw a dream fulfilled
A dream come true, the answer to their prayers
You were to them a special child
You gave them joy every time you smiled
Each time you cry, they’re at your side again

Child you don’t know, you’ll never know
How far they’d go to give you all their life can give
To see you through and that is true, they’d die for you
If they must to see you live

Many seasons came and went
So many seasons have now been spent
For time went fast and now at last you’re strong
Now what has gotten over you
You seem to hate your parents too
You speak out your mind, why do you find them wrong

Child you don’t know, you’ll never know
How far they’d go to give you all their life can give
To see you through and that is true, they’d die for you
If they must to see you live

And now your path has gone astray
Child you ain’t sure what to do or say
Your so alone no friends are on your side
And Child you now break down in tears
Let them drive away your fears
Why must you go, your arms stay open wide

Child you don’t know, you’ll never know
How far they’d go to give you all their life can give
To see you through and that is true, they’d die for you
If they must to see you live

Little Fish-big World

This world
Makes me feel small
A little fish
In an ocean of life
I’m floating up in a bubble
Falling down into trouble
In the dark
Scared of sharks
While my dreams go on swimming
Out to where stars are dimming
And the tide meets midnight

So small
I disappear
Oh I can barely breathe in here
Afraid of waves I make ripples
Always turning in circles
Dizzy me
Easily
I forget all the treasure
In this heart without measure
Little girl, a big world

Cloud Nine

Like a feather I fly
Finding heaven above
Right here in your embrace warm
When you hold me love

Never let go of me
Cling to all we can be
We won’t come back to earth again
For everything is divine on cloud nine

Stars glow the moon beams
The milky way under our feet
We are walking the skyline
Can you hear how heaven sings
And my heart beats

Don’t ever look down again
Hold on to my love
And we’ll sail away on a cloud
See the sky is an ocean
Take my hand now
And hold on forever
Never letting me go, no together
We will shine like a diamond alight at midnight
Keep on shining
You’re blinding and brilliant
Wrap me around your finger
And wear me, in a saturnine ring
Make me hear heaven sing
Up on cloud nine

Don’t ever look down again
Hold on to my love
And we’ll sail away on a cloud
See the sky is an ocean
Take my hand now and hold on forever
Never letting me go, no together
We will shine like a diamond alight at midnight
Keep on shining you’re blinding and brilliant
Wrap me around your finger and wear me,
In a saturnine ring make me hear heaven sing

Take my hand now and hold on forever
Never letting me go, no together
We will shine like a diamond alight at midnight
Keep on shining you’re blinding and brilliant
Wrap me around your finger and wear me,
In a saturnine ring make me hear heaven sing
Up on cloud nine

City Rhythms

Neon lights
Fill the night
What a sight, to see
People meet
They feel the beat
Moving to the rhythm of the street

In the air,
it’s everywhere
love is there, for you.
In the heat
The music’s sweet
Swinging to the rhythm of the street

Each avenue
Is calling you
Singing to, your soul
Let the night
Hold you tight
Wrap you in the rhythm of the street
Feel the rhythm dancing at your feet
Feel the city rhythm - soft and sweet

Han River

River of life
Here by my side
Please tell me the stories
Time hides

Keep rolling by me
And carry these thoughts
Won’t you leave me like a child
New inside

All of our memories
And every dream lost
With the currents of hope that won’t sink
Run in Han River
Run in Han River
Just like the blood in our veins

Sweet lullaby
A baby cries
Come mother and hold me
So tight

Lanterns are burning
From boats at midnight
Lovers sailing on the waves
Of moonlight

Everything changing
So little remains
All my days disappear into years
Run in Han River
Run in Han River
Just like the blood in our veins

We’re all together
Just one human race
And the beauty and pain of this world
Runs in Han River
Runs in Han River
Just like the blood in our veins
Run in Han River
Run in Han River
And carry away all our pain

Heart Of Glass

Your ship sailed out at dawn
And the sun wouldn’t rise
A sky filled with stars
Fell like tears from my eyes
I reached out to touch
The horizon of day
But all disappeared
When night took you away

I can’t let go of losing you
Broken in two this heart of glass
What will I do can someone mend
This broken heart of glass

Now the shore of my life
Has been scattered with stones
So heavy to live when you’re left all alone
The birds fly on by winging for other skies
My soul frozen fast
Hears their echoing cries

I can’t let go of losing you
Broken in two this heart of glass
What will I do can someone mend
This broken heart of glass

When the sun goes down red
And the night will not end
From the depths of my bed
I feel earth closing in
How long can this last
Spring continues to grieve
Even when seasons pass
Thoughts of you never leave

Cinderella Me

Cool in a state of bliss
Doing more than just maintaining not
Dying for your kiss
I’ve got a new lease on life
Everything’s alright
The best thing you ever did
Was to leave me here
Now I’m over losing you
I’ve found myself again
Cinderella me in my own fantasy
Starring role you see

No I don’t need a prince
Making me feel like a pretty fool
I’ve got my sixth sense
Days won’t ever go to waste
If I spend them well
Being the one I am
I’m not pleasing you
Separation celebration
I’m writing a fairytale
Cinderella me in my own fantasy

No I don’t need a prince
Making me feel like a pretty fool
I’ve got my sixth sense
Days won’t ever go to waste
If I spend them well
Being the one I am
I’m not pleasing you
Separation celebration
I’m writing a fairy tale
Cinderella me in my own fantasy

The Waves

I’m frozen, timeless, dizzy
Outside of my zone
Down to the bone
A dreamer walking slowly
Solitary lonely
Island my home
I feel like a castaway

I write on sandy beaches poetry tides
Will erase in time
An empty canvas the shore
I paint to find reason in my rhymes
I feel like a castaway

I would like to draw a dream
Have it carried by the sea
To someone who has been waiting
For a century

Sketching all eternity with my fingers
In the sand but the waves wash all my plans away
And nothing will ever stay

I feel like a castaway
I feel like a castaway
Ship wreaked imagination
The waves are breaking my design
Marooned deep sea emotion
The waves are breaking my design
In island isolation
The waves are breaking my design
Life’s secret designation
The waves are breaking my design

Ship wreaked imagination
The waves are breaking my design
Marooned deep sea emotion
The waves are breaking my design

Tears Of Ice

Like a rose under the snow
I have buried love
And this winter in my soul
Leaves me crystalline
Even when I drink the wine
Of sweet memory
I can hear a wind sing
There will be no spring

Shadows on the edge of night
Wander through my mind
While the dawn becomes a scar
Cut a cross the sky
And a sea of color glows
Carmine, coral, rose
Burgundy and bitter
Just like your last kiss

I would leave but tell me where can I go
All I need is buried deep under snow
And the spring won’t come
I can’t find the sun on high
I cry for a bird that’s frozen in flight
Cry for a heart that just won’t melt
Tears of ice

I would leave but tell me where can I go
All I need is buried deep under snow
And the spring won’t come
I can’t find the sun on high
I cry for a bird that’s frozen in flight
Cry for a heart that just won’t melt
Tears of ice

Tangerine Dream

I like the taste of you and burgundy
Just lace my day with your touch
Let me drink you in
My favourite kick I get while savouring your lips
Heavenly I want to wrap you all around me

Chill, why make a scene to let off steam
I don’t need drama give me
Peaches in my cream
We’re not immortal no just human you and me
Yea two people trying hard to make life easy

Turn down low the glare of midday
Pull the blinds and walk my way
Make me remember
What being us is all about
Fall into me now, fall

Tangerine dream
You’re supreme
Like angel cake
I keep wanting more and more
Can’t get enough of you
Come on and feed this hungry heart

Why don’t we let the traffic stream away
Until the cities empty
Only us two stay
Wrapped up in a cocoon and spinning our own silk
Woven in a love that we are always making

Let the sun ride low in the sky
Any doubt in your mind die
Lay out the table
The feast of lovers can begin
Fall into me now, fall

Caramel cream
Toffee dream
Butter pecan
I just want to feast my eyes
On the glow of your skin
Velvet apricot delight

Tangerine dream
You’re supreme
Like angel cake
I keep wanting more and more
Can’t get enough of you
Come on and feed this hungry heart

Tangerine dream
You’re supreme

Voyage

Calypso Blues

( Don George, Nathaniel Cole )

Sittin' by the ocean
Me heart, she feel so sad
Sittin' by the ocean
Me heart, she feel so sad
Don't got the money
To take me back to Trinidad

Fine calypso woman
She cook me shrimp and rice
Fine calypso woman
She cook me shrimp and rice
These yankee hot dogs
Don't treat me stomach very nice

In Trinidad, one dollar buy
Papaya juice, banana pie
Six coconut, one female goat
And plenty fish to fill the boat

One bushel bread, one barrel wine
And all the town, she come to dine
But here is bad, one dollar buy
Cup of coffee, ham on rye

Me throat she sick from necktie
Me feet she hurt from shoes
Me pocket full of empty
I got Calypso blues

These yankee girls give me big scare
Is black the root, is blonde the hair
Her eyelash false, her face is paint
And pads are where the girl she ain't

She jitterbug when she should waltz
I even think her name is false
But calypso girl is good a lot
Is what you see, is what she got
Is what you see, is what she got
Is what you see, is what she got

Sittin' by the ocean
Me heart, she feel so sad,
Sittin' by the ocean,
Me heart, she feel so sad
Don't got the money
To take me back to Trinidad

Jockey Full Of Bourbon

( Tom Waits )

Edna Million in a drop dead suit
Dutch Pink on a downtown train
Two-dollar pistol but the gun won't shoot
I'm in the corner on the pouring rain

Sixteen men on a dead man's chest
And I've been drinking from a broken cup
Two pairs of pants and a mohair vest
I'm full of bourbon, I can't stand up

Hey little bird, fly away home
Your house is on fire, children are alone
Hey little bird, fly away home
Your house is on fire, your children are alone

Schiffer broke a bottle on Morgan's head
And I'm stepping on the devil's tail
Across the stripes of a full moon's head
And through the bars of a Cuban jail

Bloody fingers on a purple knife
Flamingo drinking from a cocktail glass
I'm on the lawn with someone else's wife
Admire the view from up on top of the mast

Hey little bird, fly away home
House is on fire, children are alone
Hey little bird, fly away home
House is on fire, your children are alone

I said hey little bird, fly away home
Your house is on fire, your children are alone
Hey little bird, fly away home
Your house is on fire, your children are alone

Yellow sheets on a Hong Kong bed
Stazybo horn and a Slingerland ride
"To the carnival" is what she said
A hundred dollars makes it dark inside

Edna Million in a drop dead suit
Dutch Pink on a downtown train
Two-dollar pistol but the gun won't shoot
I'm in the corner on the pouring rain

Hey little bird, fly away home
Your house is on fire, your children are alone
Hey little bird, fly away home
Your house is on fire, your children are alone

Hey little bird, fly away home
Your house is on fire, your children are alone
Hey little bird, fly away home
Your house is on fire, your children are alone...

Voyage

Carried through time
I'm here with you
Can't turn true the inside fallen
A lie what it was
Just who hold you close to me

Touch or follow would show me the way
Off we landed, where we just wanted
A lie what it pass
Just who hold you close to me

Sometimes we're trapped in a heart's truth
Sometimes we're lost without
Oh how I hope voyage goes on
Caught love on earth ever lost
And I
What a sound Wind carry on soon at all
A lie what is you
And your love will live in me

Please don't be sad

Please don't be sad
I know it's hard
And yes I know love will never die

Oh please, don't be vexed
I know it's hard
And yes I know love will never die

Please, don't be sad
I know it's hard
And yes I know life goes round and round

Please, don't be vexed
I know it's hard
And yes I know love will never die

Just tell yourself
You can succeed in anything
Oh, tell yourself
You're good enough to do everything

Please don't be sad
I know it's hard
And yes I know love will never never die

Please, don't be vexed
I know it's hard
And yes I know life goes round and round...

Shenandoah

( American Folk Song )

Oh shenandoah, I long to see you
Away, you rollin' river
Oh shenandoah, I long to hear you
Away, I'm bound away
'Cross the wide Missouri

Oh Shenandoah, I love your daughter
Away, you rollin' river
I'll take her cross your rolling water
Away, I'm bound away
'Cross the wide Missouri

Tis seven year I've been a rover
Away, you rollin' river
Oh Shenandoah, I'll not deceive you
Away, I'm bound away
'Cross the wide Missouri

Oh Shenandoah, I'm bound to leave you,
Away, you rolling river
Oh Shenandoah, I'll not deceive you
Away, I'm bound away
'Cross the wide Missouri

Come, Come

One of this chance's in my dusky room
You'll be asked to sleep beside me
Come, come, come, come, come my heart

One of this morning's in my sunny room
All the way to your lovely kiss
Come, come, come, come, come my heart

One of this evening's in my darkening room
You'll sing for me a lullaby
Come, come, come, come, come my heart

You're cheering paradise,
Make my heart sing and take wing
Never knew how sweet life could be

One of this day's in a quiet room
Come, come, come, come, come my heart

You and only you can make me feel alive
??? light fill my heart ???

Love is all around
Love is all around
Love is all around, all around

India song

( Carlos D'Alession / Marguerite Duras )

Chanson
Toi qui ne veux rien dire
Toi qui me parles d'elle
Et toi qui me dis tout

Ô, toi,
Que nous dansions ensemble
Toi qui me parlais d'elle
D'elle qui te chantait

Toi qui me parlais d'elle
De son nom oublié
De son corps, de mon corps
De cet amour là
De cet amour mort

Chanson
De ma terre lointaine
Toi qui parleras d'elle
Maintenant disparue

Toi qui me parles d'elle
De son corps effacé
De ses nuits, de nos nuits
De ce désir là
De ce désir mort

Chanson
Toi qui ne veux rien dire
Toi qui me parles d'elle
Et toi qui me dit tout
Et toi qui me dit tout

Same Girl

My Favorite Things

( Richard Rodgers & Oscar Hammerstein II )

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things

Cream colored ponies and crisp apple strudels
Door bells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things

Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things

When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad

My Name Is Carnival

( Jackson C. Frank )

I've seen your face
In every place that I'll be going
I read your words
Like black hungry birds read every song

Rise and fall
Spin and call
And my name
Is carnival

Sad music in the night
Sings a scream of light out of chorus
And voices you might hear appear and disappear
In the forest
Short and tall throw the ball
And my name is carnival

Strings of yellow tears
Drip from black wire fears in the meadow
And their white halos spin
With an anger that is thin and turns to sorrow

King of all
Hear me call
Hear my name
Carnival

Here there is no law
But the arcade's penny claw
Hanging empty
The painted laughing smile
And the turning of the style
Do not envy

And the small
Can steal the ball
To touch the face
Of carnival

The fat woman frowns
At screaming frightened clowns
That move enchanted
And a shadow lie and waits
Outside your iron gates
With one wish granted

Colours fall
Throw the ball
Play the game
Of carnival

Without a thought of size
You come to hypnotize
The danger
The world that comes apart
Has no single heart
When life is stranger

Wheel and call
Clawed dreams all
In the name
Of carnival

Wheel and call
Clawed dreams all
In the name
Of carnival

Wheel and call
Clawed dreams all
In the name
Of carnival

Uncertain Weather

Uncertain weather comes
The cold wind blows
Sudden hail storm on falls
All the stars fade away
Heavy clouds were away
From spring through to winter
Why can't I trust that tomorrow's
Gonna bring the sunshine
Do I have to buried myself
Bright yellow sun

My fickle doggy barks
I heard a bird truly cries
And the tears blur my eyes
I miss your any kiss shadows
Dancing in the sunlight

Song Of No Regrets

( Sérgio Mendes )

To be alone again
Without you, without you
When will this time pass
Maybe I should talk
Perhaps I should not
But it's gone
What is gone
Who can say

Like leaves that drift away
So softly, they tell me
I'll walk without you
Your name inside me
No wind will hide me
Like a song
No regrets
When it's done

Like leaves that drift away
So softly, they tell me
I'll walk without you
Your name inside me
No wind will hide me
Like a song
No regrets
When it's done

아~~~아~~
아리아리 쓰리쓰리 아라리요
아리아리 고개로 넘어간다
아주가리 동백아 열지마라
누구를 괴자고 머리에 기름
아리아리 쓰리쓰리 아라리요
아리아리 고개로 넘어간다
산중의 귀물은 머루다래
인간의 귀물은 나 하나라
아리아리 쓰리쓰리 아라리요
아리아리 고개로 넘어간다
아리아리 쓰리쓰리 아라리요
아리아리 고개로 넘어간다
흙물의 연꽃은 곱기만하다
세상이 흐려도 나살탓이지
아리아리 쓰리쓰리 아라리요
아리아리 고개로 넘어간다

Enter Sandman

( Metallica )

Say your prayers, little one
Don't forget, my son,
To include everyone

Tuck you in, warm within
Keep you free from sin
Till the sandman he comes

Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight

Exit: light
Enter: night
Take my hand
We're off to never-never land

Something's wrong, shut the light
Heavy thoughts tonight
And they aren't of Snow White

Dreams of war, dreams of liars
Dreams of dragon's fire
And of things that will bite

Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight

Exit: light
Enter: night
Take my hand
We're off to never-never land

Now I lay me down to sleep
Pray the Lord my soul to keep
If I die before I wake
Pray the Lord my soul to take

Hush little baby, don't say a word
And never mind that noise you heard
It's just the beasts under your bed
In your closet, in your head

Exit: light
Enter: night
Grain of sand

Exit: light
Enter: night
Take my hand
We're off to never-never land
We're off to never-never land
We're off to never-never land

Same Girl

( Randy Newman )

You're still the same girl
You always were
You're still the same girl
You always were

A few more nights on the street that's all
A few more holes in your arm
A few more years with me

You're still the same girl

With the same sweet smile that you always had
And the same blue eyes like the sun
And the same clear voice that I always

You're still the same girl
That I love

Moondog

He's a beggar on a street corner
To most passers by that's all he is
Playing a black pawnbroker
Moon dog is

But to me he's something special
As he sits alone a-playing his drum
If I play he's right here with me
Moon dog is

All you people who did see him
Won't you tell me what I misseed
By never seeing this son of rhythm
'Cause that's what Moon Dog is

La Chanson D'Hélène

( Jean-Loup Dabadie )

Ce soir nous sommes septembre
Et j'ai fermé ma chambre
Le soleil n'y entrera plus
Tu ne m'aimes plus

Là-haut un oiseau passe
Comme une dédicace
Dans le ciel

Roland Brival :
Je t'aimais tant Hélène
Il faut se quitter
Les avions partiront sans nous
Je ne sais plus t'aimer Hélène

Avant dans la maison
J'aimais quand nous vivions
Comme un dessin d'enfant
Tu ne m'aimes plus

Je regarde le soir
Tomber dans les miroirs
C'est ma vie

Roland Brival :
C'est mieux ainsi Hélène
C'était l'amour sans amitié
Il va falloir changer de mémoire
Je ne t'écrirai plus Hélène

L'histoire n'est plus à suivre
Et j'ai fermé le livre
Le soleil n'y entrera plus
Tu ne m'aimes plus
