High Enough - Damn Yankees.1990 (가사,영상, 이야기들)

 

"High Enough"는 미국 슈퍼그룹 'Damn Yankees'의 셀프 타이틀 데뷔 앨범 <Damn Yankees>의 수록곡으로, 멤버인 Tommy Shaw, Jack Blades, Ted Nugent가 만들고 Ron Nevison 과 Tommy Shephard이 프로듀싱 하였다.

 

 

이 곡은 그룹의 처음이자 마지막 싱글로써 빌보드 핫 100 3위, Mainstream Rock Tracks 차트 2위를 차지하는등 많은 사랑을 받았고, 아직까지도 록 발라드의 클래식이자 명곡으로 남아있다.

 

슈퍼그룹이란 이미 기존에 성공을 거둔 '솔로 아티스트'나 '타 그룹'의 전문 멤버들이 헤쳐모여서 구성된 음악 그룹으로 정의하고 있는데,

A supergroup is a music group whose members are already successful as solo artists or as part of other groups or as other professions.

영광의 70년대와 80년대를 보내며 록 뮤지션들은 타 밴드의 멤버들과도 음악적 교류가 빈번했고, 기존에 자신이 몸달고 있던 그룹에서 진행하기 어려운 프로젝트나 혹은 단순히 개인적인 친분들을 기반으로 하여 해쳐 모여서 프로젝트성 그룹을 결성하여 음반을 내는 경우가 빈번했는데, 이 Damn Yankees는 그중에 가장 성공한 슈퍼밴드중 하나라고 할 수 있다.

 

 

 

 

I don't want to hear about it anymore,

It's a shame I've got to live without you anymore.

There's a fire in my heart,

A pounding in my brain, it's driving me crazy.

 

We don't need to talk about it anymore.

Yesterday's just a memory; can we close the door?

I just made one mistake,

I didn't know what to say when you called me baby.

 

Don't say goodnight,

Say you're gonna stay forever,

Oh, whoa, all the way.

 

Can you take me high enough

to fly me over yesterday?

Can you take me high enough?

It's never over and yesterday's just a memory,

 

Yesterday's just a memory.

And I don't want to live without you anymore.

Can't you see I'm in misery?

And you know for sure

I would live and die for you

And I'd know just what to do when you call me baby.

 

Don't say goodbye

Say you're gonna stay forever,

Oh, whoa, all the way.

 

Can you take me high enough

Can you fly me over yesterday?

Can you take me high enough?

It's never over and yesterday's just a memory.

 

I was running

I was running for the door

The next thing I remember

I was running back for more

Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

 

Don't say goodbye

Say you're gonna stay forever,

Oh, whoa, all the way, all the way,

Come all the way, yeah.

 

Can you take me high enough

Can you fly me over yesterday?

Can you take me high enough?

It's never over, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

 

Can you take me high enough

Won't you fly me over yesterday?

Can you take me high enough?

It's never over, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
