Careless Whisper - George Michael

 

 

Careless Whisper

George Michael

 

 

I feel so unsure

As I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor

As the music dies, something in your eyes

Calls to mind the silver screen

And all its sad good-byes

 

I'm never gonna dance again

Guilty feet have got no rhythm

Though it's easy to pretend

I know you're not a fool

Should've known better than to cheat a friend

And waste the chance that I've been given

So I'm never gonna dance again

The way I danced with you

 

Time can never mend

The careless whispers of a good friend

To the heart and mind

Ignorance is kind

There's no comfort in the truth

Pain is all you'll find

 

I'm never gonna dance again

Guilty feet have got no rhythm

Though it's easy to pretend

I know you're not a fool

I should've known better than to cheat a friend

And waste the chance that I've been given

So I'm never gonna dance again

The way I danced with you

 

Never without your love

 

Tonight the music seems so loud

I wish that we could lose this crowd

Maybe it's better this way

We'd hurt each other with the things we'd want to say

We could have been so good together

We could have lived this dance forever

But no one's gonna dance with me

Please stay

 

And I'm never gonna dance again

Guilty feet have got no rhythm

Though it's easy to pretend

I know you're not a fool

Should've known better than to cheat a friend

And waste the chance that I've been given

So I'm never gonna dance again

The way I danced with you

 

Now that you're gone

(Now that you're gone) What I did so wrong, so wrong

That you had to leave me alone

"I should have known better"

"I should have known better" is an idiomatic phrase that means: I made a mistake that I could have avoided.

The comparative degree indicates that what he should have known or thought of (which would have helped him avoid the mistake) was a better course to follow than the one he actually did (which led to the mistake).

I should have realised that it wasn't a good idea to do what I did.

George Michael - Careless Whisper (35th Anniversary Story Behind the Song)

 

 

이게 공식 뮤직 비디온데,

좀 유치해. 그런데

그렇게 생각될 만큼 순수한 시대였던거.

 

"I'm still a bit puzzled why it's made such an impression on people."

"Is it because so many people have cheated on their partners?"

- (영상에 나오는 조지마이클의 사람들이 왜 이 노래를 좋아하는지 모르겠다는)

 

많은 과학기술들은 아쉽지만,

둘 중 고르라면 저 순수한 시대를 고를거.

 

 

About George Michael

마이클 잭슨, 그리고 마돈나가 음악과 댄스로 세상을 덮어버렸던 시대,

라고들 생각하는데,

그런 사람들 조차 자기 추억같은 기억에는,

그러니까 실제로는,

카페, 레스토랑, 길거리, 그리고 집과 방 안에서

Wham 의 노래가 틀어지고 있던 시대.

듀오였던 Wham 의 Andrew Ridgeley 의 존재감도 컸던

Wham 때가 좋았는데,

솔로가 된 후 George Michael 도 열심히 했고.

 

 

Careless Whisper, Last Christmas, Wake me up before you go,

그리고 Faith 등 많이 알려진 노래도 많고,

One more try 라거나 다른 노래들도 좋고,

Spotify 로 덜 알려진 노래들을 듣고 있으면,

두 가지 - 좋고, 음악이 들린다.

 

지나간 시대의 거대한 대중음악스타였던

Wham 과 George Michael. 

그렇게 잘 생각되지 않아도, 그랬었어.

실제로는 그랬다니까.
