今日の「聴き比べ」は『Still Got the Blues』です。
ゲイリー・ムーア(Gary Moore)の1990年の会心のブルース回帰アルバム『Still Got the Blues』のタイトル曲です。『パリの散歩道』に匹敵する、ムード・ブルースです。泣かせるギターです。
Still Got the Blues
by Gary Moore
Used to be so easy
To give my heart away
But I found out the hard way
There's a price you have to pay
I found out that love
Was no friend of mine
I should have known
Time after time
So long, it was so long ago
But I've still got the blues for you
Used to be so easy
To fall in love again
But I found out the hard way
It's a road that leads to pain
I found out that love
Was more than just a game
Playing to win
But you lose just the same
So long, it was so long ago
But I've still got the blues for you
So many years since I've seen your face
But here in my heart there's an empty space
Where you used to be
So long, it was so long ago
But I've still got the blues for you
Though the days come and go
There is one thing I know
I've still got the blues for you
