Listening in Wild Fancy #1-3 Our Day Will Come -Amy Winehouse E : That’s true. You can find various kinds one after another. When I go to record shop, records are distributed accorind to a genre. But I don’t know all genre of records that I want so I can’t find some of them. How stupid it is, you know. Should I research what genres records that I want are before go to record shop? I don’t think so. S : The starting poits might be diffirent, I think. When we pick records or CDs up, we understand artists of what kind of genres then pick it up. Though recently, for example Youtube, we catch information as the sound at first. E : I think in radio, it’s classified according to the genres. How can I say… um,somehow I can understand the genre. Personalities who’re well up on music explain, so I can catch the genres. Of course it depends on a thing. However it’s difficult to understand what kind of genre the music is perfectly. E : Ok, let’s return to Amy. I think Amy was in a position where we can reach easily. Her death would be a chance to attract attention to her. Her charm might increase because she had died. I don’t know why, but I think Amy doesn’t suit such a love song. S : But this song is not clinging, isn’t it? E : It’s because of her way of singing. S : umm, It’s one of big reasons, I think too… E : I don’t know what Amy thought about love but I have a image of her that she wasn’t influenced by the man. So, I don’t like this kind of lyrics! lol S : Amy is a strong woman among you. E : Yes, yes. S : Among me, she is a very fragile person. Her death is becasue of drug… That is, she couldn’t get along without depending on something. E : Yea, she was fragile. S : ...Mental illness or something? E : Yes. But ideally, I want her not to be influenced by the man and to say “I AM ME!”. Then she could have such a eccentric hair style as three onions on her head. S : Yea, she absolutely had very strong identity, and a side that she wasn’t influenced by other people, I think so. But it’s not same as that she was strong. She might protect herself by the strong character. E : I think so. On the other hand, for example Adele, she is really strong, but Amy’s strongness might hide her fragileness. So, I don’t want her to sing such a song!! S : Umm, reading lyrics is not only good thing… E : So we don’t have to read the lyrics of the musicians whom we have ideal of them! S : Oh, you deny completely from the first time. lol But, yeah it’s ok. E : Yes, so we have to repeat a number of times. There might be so big gap between real meaning of lyrics and our ideal meaning of it. S : We often listen and understand Western Musics in our own fancy, right? E : It’s because of foreign country! It’s a different culture! S : But in real, songs reflect the artists’ experience and ideology. E : For this reason, let’s learn by here, ‘Listening in Wild Fancy’!!
