｢こんな歌があるのかと、すごいショックだった。 いつも自分は変わり者だ、はぐれものだという意識があったけど、その歌を聴くことで、自分が救われる気がした。 人生に対して、こんなふうにストレートに歌うことも出来るんだ｣尾崎はそう語っています。 尾崎の曲の原点がここにあるんじゃないでしょうか。 |
Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels Looking back at the years gone by like so many summer fields In sixty-five I was seventeen and running up one-o-one I don't know where I'm running now, I'm just running on Running on - running on empty Running on - running blind Running on - running into the sun But I'm running behind Gotta do what you can just to keep your love alive Trying not to confuse it with what you do to survive In sixty-nine I was twenty-one and I called the road my own I don't know when that road turned onto the road I'm on Running on - running on empty Running on - running blind Running on - running into the sun But I'm running behind Everyone I know, everywhere I go People need some reason to believe I don't know about anyone but me If it takes all night, that'll be all right If I can get you to smile before I leave Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels I don't know how to tell you all just how crazy this life feels I look around for the friends that I used to turn to to pull me through Looking into their eyes I see them running too Running on - running on empty Running on - running blind Running on - running into the sun But I'm running behind Honey you really tempt me You know the way you look so kind I'd love to stick around but I'm running behind You know I don't even know what I'm hoping to find Running into the sun but I'm running behind |

尾崎はこの曲を聞いたとき、｢心の中の分かっていてもどうにもならないことがあるだろう？ っていうことを感じさせてくれた曲｣だと語っています。朝霞市の彼の実家の玄関にある石畳には、尾崎自身が刻んだ歌詞の一部があるそうです。 尾崎が語った言葉の中に『誠実さは諦めの中には生まれない。この世には本当にかけひきのない愛がある。それを探して欲しい。それを見つけることは、とても難しいことかもしれない』ていう言葉がある。きっと、この曲に影響を 受けたんじゃないかなと思います。 もし君が優しさを求めるなら 見つけることは難しくない 生きるために愛が必要なら得ることもできる。 でも、誠実さを探しているのなら、 目が見えなくなるほうがマシなくらい 見つけることは難しい 誠実という言葉は、なんて淋しい言葉だろう 誰もがとても、不実だから、 誠実なんて、めったに聞かれないけど 僕がもっとも君から欲しいものなんだ』 |

you search for tenderness. It isn't hard to find. You can have the love you need to live But if you look for truthfulness You might just as well be blind It always seems to be so hard to give Honesty is such a lonely word Everyone is so untrue Honesty is hardly ever heard And mostly what I need frm you I can always find someone To say they sympathize If wear my heart out on my sleeve But I don't want some pretty face To tell me pretty lies All want is someone to believe Honesty is such a lonely word Everyone is so untrue Honesty is hardly ever heard And mostly what I need frm you I can find a lover I can find a friend I can have security Until the bitter end Anyone can comfort me With promises again I know,I know When I'm deep inside of me Don't be too concerned I won't ask for nothin' while I'm gone But when I want sincerity Tell me where else can I turn Because you're the one that I depend upon Honesty is such a lonely word Everyone is so untrue Honesty is hardly ever heard And mostly what I need frm you |
