新譜が出て、通勤途中に聴いてた時に「WALK」に聴き入ってしまった。
で、こんなこと滅多にない、というか初めてで恥ずかしんだけど、不覚にも泣いた。でも、Nirvana「Nevermind」から20周年と騒がれる今になって、DAVEがこの曲をどんな想いで歌っているかの気持ちを汲むと、こっちまで熱くならずにはいられない。数々のベテラン、ビッグネームバンドが単なるエンターテイメントとなっていく今、僕だってもう高校生じゃあるまいし、ロック聴いてこんなにも熱い気持ちが込み上げちゃったりするもんだろうか。そうなんだ、NirvanaよりもFoo Fighters のファンで、カートよりデイブが好きなんだ。生き延びて、歩み続ける奴を称えよう。とかなんとか。

PS: WalkのPVは映画「Falling Down」のパロディですね。あの映画、途中まで痛快なのに、ラストが哀しいんだよね。
A million miles away
Your signal in the distance
To whom it may concern
I think I lost my way
Getting good at starting over
Every time that I return
I'm learning to walk again
I believe I've waited long enough
Where do I begin?
I'm learning to talk again
Can't you see I've waited long enough
Where do I begin?
Do you remember the days
We built these paper mountains
And sat and watched them burn
I think I found my place
Can't you feel it growing stronger
Little conquerors
I'm learning to walk again
I believe I've waited long enough
Where do I begin?
I'm learning to talk again
I believe I've waited long enough
Where do I begin?
Now
For the very first time
Don't you pay no mind
Set me free again
You keep alive a moment at a time
But still inside a whisper to a riot
To sacrifice but knowing to survive
The first to cry another state of mind
I'm on my knees, I'm praying for a sign
Forever, whenever
I never wanna die
I never wanna die
I never wanna die
I'm on my knees
I never wanna die
Dancing on my grave
Running through the fire
Forever, whenever
I never wanna die
Never wanna leave
Never say goodbye
Forever
And ever
and ever
and ever
Learning to walk again
I believe I've waited long enough
Where do I begin?
I'm learning to talk again
Can't you see I've waited long enough
Where do I begin?
I'm learning to walk again
I believe I've waited long enough
I'm learning to talk again
Can't you see I've waited long enough
