８０年代風 Barrie

Men I Trust – Show Me How

Show me how you care,
Tell me how you were loved before
Show me how you smile,
Tell me why your hands are cold

I’m turning around,
I’m having visions of you
But then I understand
The friend I’m dreaming of is far away
But I’m here… I’m here

おまけの Bat for Lushes

Lying next to you
We could be on the moon
Tell me you’re not leaving
Cause you’re always on my mind
It’s been such a dark night
Boy I know you’ve been grieving

Riding thru the pines
See you in the red light
And everything is on fire

Barrie – Darjeeling

もともと赤い鳥だったハイファイセットの「卒業写真」や赤い狐な海援隊の「贈る言葉」がラジオやネットから流れてくると、わが時空はたちまち１０代へ舞い戻る。のと同じようくカナダ・ケベックの浮遊感のあるドリームポップでインディーポップな「Men I Trust」やアメリカ・ブルックリンのゆったりとしたドリームポップ「Barrie」が広場に流れてくると、わが空っぽのアタマは８０年代レトロポップな切なくも甘酸っぱい感覚をふいに思い出すのであ～る。すっごく耳に気持ちいいしボーカルがかわいい。

Clovers
Barrie 「 Happy To Be Here」より

I know when to go
I know when to go
Take my time down the hall
With my eyes up on the wall
I hear my shoes and I hear my sigh
I watch myself walk out from the light

Clovers in my eyes
The way the light falls on the bus on the way home
Clovers in my eyes
Trying to stay awake, trying to stay away

Lying down on the grass
Clover bed under my back
Close my eyes in the middle of the day
Close my eyes and it feels just the same

Clovers in my eyes
The way the light falls on the bus on the way home
Clovers in my eyes
Trying to stay awake, trying to stay away
