The Searchers / Needles and Pins

Needles and Pins / The Searchers I saw her today, I saw her face It was the face I loved and I knew I had to run away and get down on my knees and pray That they'd go away But still they begin Needles and pins Because of all my pride The tears I gotta hide Hey, I thought I was smart, I wanted her Didn't think I'd do, but now I see She's worse to him than me Let her go ahead, take his love instead And one day she will see Just how to say please And get down on her knees Yeah, that's how it begins She'll feel those needles and pins a-hurtin her, a-hurtin her Why can't I stop and tell myself I'm wrong, I'm wrong, so wrong Why can't I stand up and tell myself I'm strong Because I saw her today, I saw her face It was the face I loved and I knew I had to run away and get down on my knees and pray That they'd go away But still they begin Needles and pins Because of all my pride The tears I gotta hide Ah, needles and pins Needles and pins Needles and pins -------------------------- The Searchers 는1959년 영국 리버풀 출신인 4 인조 로큰롤 밴드 입니다 존 맥날리와 마이크 팬더에 의해 시작되었고 로날드 우드브릿지가 리드보칼을 맡았었지요 1950년대 후반에 유행하였던 재즈와 포크가 혼합된음악 즉 스키플(skiffle)이라는 음악을 추구하는 밴드로 출발한 이들은 밴드 이름을 1956년에 개봉한 존웨인 주연의 서부영화 제목인 The Searchers에서 따왔습니다 이 곡은 63년 Deshannon's이 최초 불렀지만, 64년 The Searchers가 발표한 음반이 빅히트를 했습니다. 영국을 비롯한 유럽이나 미국에서는 어땠는지 몰라도 우리나라 사람들이 알고 있는 Searchers 의 노래로는 Love Potion No.9 과 Bumble Bee 단 두 곡뿐인 것 같고 이곡도 79년 발표된 Smokie 곡으로 오해하는 사람들도 꽤 많지요
