1978年代ROCK/POPSが最も面白く時代的に好くなってきた頃かな?
クマさんが洋楽にのめり込んでた時期と重なるし。
爽やか系しか聞かなかった頃でして日本の邦楽は興味も無かったし記憶にもほとんどないし。
軽やかで記憶の隅っこに残ってたLay All Your Love On Meに最近まで繰り返し聞いてたCrazy WorldにIntermezzo No 1・・・・
ABBA - Summer Night City [Performed at Ginza Now! - 24 November 1978][ 4K ]
Summer night city
Summer night city
Waiting for the sunrise, soul dancing in the dark
Summer night city
Walking in the moonlight, love-making in the park
Summer night city
In the sun, I feel like sleeping
I can't take it for too long
My impatience slowly creeping
Up my spine and growing strong
I know what's waiting there for me
Tonight I'm loose and fancy-free, ah-ah
When the night comes with the action
I just know it's time to go
Can't resist the strange attraction
From that giant dynamo
Lots to take and lots to give
Time to breathe and time to live
Waiting for the sunrise, soul dancing in the dark
Summer night city
Walking in the moonlight, love-making in the park
Summer night city
It's elusive call it glitter
Somehow something turns me on
Some folks only see the litter
We don't miss them when they're gone
I love the feeling in the air
My kind of people everywhere, ah-ah
When the night comes with the action
I just know it's time to go
Can't resist the strange attraction
From that giant dynamo
And tomorrow, when it's dawning
And the first birds start to sing
In the pale light of the morning
Nothing's worth remembering
It's a dream, it's out of reach
Scattered driftwood on a beach
Waiting for the sunrise, soul dancing in the dark
Summer night city
Walking in the moonlight, love-making in the park
Summer night city
Waiting for the sunrise, soul dancing in the dark
Summer night city
Walking in the moonlight, love-making in the park
Summer night city
Waiting for the sunrise, soul dancing in the dark
Summer night city
Walking in the moonlight, love-making in the park
Summer night city

ABBA - Lay all your love on me Disconet remix (HQ)
I wasn't jealous before we met
Now, every woman I see is a potential threat
And I'm possessive, it isn't nice
You've heard me saying that smoking was my only vice
But now it isn't true
Now everything is new
And all I've learned has overturned
I beg of you
Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me
It was like shooting a sitting duck
A little small talk, a smile and baby I was stuck
I still don't know what you've done with me
A grown-up woman should never fall so easily
I feel a kind of fear
When I don't have you near
Unsatisfied, I skip my pride
I beg you dear
Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me
Don't go sharing your devotion
Lay all your love on me
I've had a few little love affairs
They didn't last very long, and they've been pretty scarce
I used to think that was sensible
It makes the truth even more incomprehensible
'Cause everything is new
And everything is you
And all I've learned has overturned
What can I do
Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me
Don't go sharing your devotion
Lay all your love on me
Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me
Don't go sharing your devotion
Lay all your love on me
I was out with the morning sun
Couldn't sleep, so I thought I'd take a walk
I was thinking of you and me
And I went to your house, 'cause I had to talk
I could hardly believe my eyes
When I saw this guy closing your front door
Had the feeling of emptiness like I never had before
And I closed my eyes, will you leave me girl
Then I realized, it's a crazy world
As he disapeared in his car
I was stunned and I didn't know what to do
Everything I had ever dreamed
Everything in my life's part of you
And I just couldn't move my feet
So I stood on the pavement as you came out
You acted as you didn't know what it was all about
And I closed my eyes, will you leave me girl
Then I realized, it's a crazy world
Baby, how could you do it
You just told me lies
And you meet behind my back
With other guys
Baby, how could you tell me
There was only me
I was stupid to believe you
I was blind but now I see
Then you smiled and you took my hand
"There is something", you said, "that you may not know
There's a couple of men in my life
And one of them is my brother Joe
He's been gone for a long, long time
But he's back and I think he's gonna stay
You'll be seeing a lot of him, he's so nice in every way"
Then I closed my eyes, never leave me girl
Then I realized, it's a crazy world
So I closed my eyes, never leave me girl
Then I realized, it's a crazy world
So I closed my eyes, never leave me girl
Then I realized, it's a crazy world
ニールヤング続きだけどボーカルがシンセサイザーに通してるので誰だか解らず?
先にHold On To Your Loveを明記したが今思えば似たり寄ったりでこれはこれでいい。
改めて聞き直せば曲のタイトルがコンピューター エッジなのでボーカルが変にエコーがかった肉声に成ってるので気が付かなかった次第でした。
現に時代を超えた曲でもあり預言的な発想から世に出てきたんだと思ってる・・・・。
[Verse 1]
Cars and trucks fly by me on the corner
But I'm all right, standing proud before the signal
When I see the light, I know I'm more than just a number
And I stand by you or else we just don't see the others
Computer age, computer age, computer age
[Verse 2]
Bikes and vans fly by me on the desert
But I'm all right standing out here in the hot sun
When I see the light, I feel like more than just a number
And I stand before you or else we just don't see the others
Computer age, computer age, computer age
[Bridge]
Precious metal lines molded into highways
Running through me so microscopically
Days and nights, weeks and months and seasons
Rolling through me so chronologically
[Verse 3]
I need you to let me know that there's a heartbeat
Let it pound and pound and I'll be flying like a free bird
And you need me like ugly needs a mirror
And day by day this horizon's getting clearer
Computer age, computer age, computer age
