The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra Recording "Sloop John B"

'비치 보이스(Beach Boys)'는 미국에서 1961년대 데뷔한 전설적인 록 밴드로 윌슨家 형제들과 사촌, 그리고 그들의 학교 친구들로 구성되었으며, 1960년대에서 1970년대까지 대중음악 역사상 가장 위대하고 영향력 있는 뮤지션이었다. 그들이 부른  'Sloop John B'는 가수 윤형주가 '그리운 고향'으로 번안해서 부르기도 했다. 

 

영국 런던의 '로열 필하모닉 관현악단(The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra)'이 비치 보이스가 부른 'Sloop John B'를 원곡에 더빙하여 녹음하고 있다. 원곡의 반주도 멋지지만, 로열 필하모닉 관현악단의 섬세하고도 웅장한 연주가 더해지니 곡의 완성도가 최고가 된다. 비록 대중음악이지만, 대중음악 그 이상으로 귀에 들리고 감동이 밀려온다.

 

 

Sloop John B

We come on the sloop John B
My grandfather and me
Around Nassau town we did roam
Drinking all night
Got into a fight
Well I feel so broke up
I want to go home

So hoist up the John B's sail
See how the mainsail sets
Call for the Captain ashore
Let me go home, let me go home
I wanna go home, yeah yeah
Well I feel so broke up
I wanna go home

The first mate he got drunk
And broke in the Cap'n's trunk
The constable had to come and take him away
Sheriff John Stone
Why don't you leave me alone, yeah yeah
Well I feel so broke up I wanna go home

So hoist up the John B's sail
See how the mainsail sets
Call for the Captain ashore
Let me go home, let me go home
I wanna go home, let me go home
Why don't you let me go home
(Hoist up the John B's sail)
Hoist up the John B
I feel so broke up I wanna go home
Let me go home

The poor cook he caught the fits
And threw away all my grits
And then he took and he ate up all of my corn
Let me go home
Why don't they let me go home
This is the worst trip I've ever been on

So hoist up the John B's sail
See how the mainsail sets
Call for the Captain ashore
Let me go home, let me go home
I wanna go home, let me go home
