Change - 다니엘 메리웨더(Daniel Merriweather)

 

 

Daniel Merriweather

 

다니엘 메리웨더(Daniel Merriweather)는 1982년 호주 출생으로 영국에서 활동하는 미국의 팝과 소울적인 요소를 받아들인 노래로 전 유럽차트를 석권한 노래로 복고풍 느끼게 한다. 그의 대표곡 'Change'는 브라스연주와 그루비한 비트 위에 엉켜 완성된 의 최고 순위에 올랐다. 그의 목소리는 유연함을 뽐내며, 'Red'도 절묘하게 독특한 매력을 발산하는 호소력 짙은 소울풀한 목소리에 빈티지 사운드를 구사하는 점, 마크 론슨(Mark Ronson)이 프로듀싱에 전면적으로 참여했다는 점은 에이미 와인하우스(Amy Winehouse)를 떠올리게 하지만 걸쭉한 맛은 더욱 깔끔하게 느껴진다.

Na na-na-na na na na-na-na
Na na-na-na na na na-na-na

I saw a dried up withered old rich man
Turning on a garden hose,
I see a young man picking up a gun
I guess that’s where the money goes yeah
Am I just as good as a bad man sleeping
when the rest are dying
Or am I just as bad as a good man saying
There’s no use of tryin’

Ooooh, tell me do you still believe
Ooooh, everything that you read
Will we learn to get together
And see who we really are

Ain’t nothing gonna change
Ain’t nothing gonna change
If nobody’s gonna wake up
And start acting whose incharge
Ain’t nothing gonna change
Ain’t nothing gonna change
Ain’t nothing gonna change

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na

(Wale)
Ain’t shit changing but life is all babies
get higher in the background singing singing
Na na-na-na na na na-na-na
singing
ok singing

(Daniel)
Some people do it all for money
And some do it all for their love
Some do it all for the glory
Coz nothing else their thinking of
I saw a man in a four door truck
Complaining that the price was high
Like a well faired man with a smoothie in his hand
Saying who ate all the apple pie yeah

Ooooh, tell me do you still believe
Ooooh, everything that you read
Will we learn to get together
And see who we really are

Ain’t nothing gonna change
Ain’t nothing gonna change
If nobody’s gonna wake up
And start acting whose incharge
Ain’t nothin gonna change
Ain’t nothin gonna change
Ain’t nothin gonna change

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na

(Wale)
Fine your ready to listen
I’m never gonna listen
Most follow intuition while they wishing it would work
And my vision isn’t perfect so I will never learn for it
Don’t wish for some change like a church worker
Hallelujah preacher I am not influenced
If I don’t go into your movement am I not improving
And while a poor for a poor for a peace of American society
If I get high the munchies I got
So down with this I got the girl looking at you
Cuz I’m worth kissing (muach)
And I ain’t ready to wait when theirs dollars on the rain
what do you expect change

(Daniel)
Will we learn to get together and see who we really are

Ain’t nothing gonna change
Ain’t nothing gonna change
If nobody’s gonna wake up
And start acting whose incharge
Ain’t nothin gonna change
Ain’t nothin gonna change
Ain’t nothin gonna change, no, no

(Wale)
Ain’t sh-t changing but life is all babies
Get higher in the background singing singing
Na na-na-na na na na-na-na
Singing.
