사랑이란... / Love is...

사람은 일을 꾸미고, 운명은 그걸 바로 잡아주는가.

요즘 옥탑방 왕세자를 보면서 생각나는 곡들 중에서
바네사 윌리엄스와 브라이언 맥나이트가 같이 부른 이 노래...

가사가 통속적이지 않고, 한 편의 시와 같은
철학적 내용이라 더 맘에 든다고 할까요.

중간 간주 부분이 피아노 버전과 일렉기타 버전이 있는데
피아노 버전이 산뜻하고 깔끔해서 더 선호합니다.

They say it's a river, that circles the earth
A beam of light shining to the edge of the universe
  It conquers all
  It changes everything

They say it's a blessing
They say it's a gift
They say it's a miracle and I believe that it is
  It conquers all
but it's a mystery

Love breaks your heart
Love takes no less than everything
Love makes it hard
And it fades away so easily

In this world we've created
In this place that we live
In a blink of an eye, baby, the darkness slips in
Love lights the world, unites the lovers for eternity

Love breaks the chain
Love aches for everyone of us
Love takes the tears and the pain
And turns it in to the beauty that remains

Look at this place
It was paradise but now it's dying
I'll pray for love
I'll take my chances that it's not too late
