Eagles - The Sad Cafe
Out in the shiny night, the rain was softly falling
Tracks that ran down the boulevard had all been washed away
Out of the silver light, the past came softly calling
And I remember the times we spent inside the Sad Café
Oh, it seemed like a holy place, protected by amazing grace
And we would sing right out loud, the things we could not say
We thought we could change this world with words like "love" and "freedom"
We were part of the lonely crowd inside the Sad Café
Oh, expecting to fly
We would meet on that beautiful shore in the sweet by and by
Some of their dreams came true, some just passed away
And some of them stayed behind, inside the Sad Café
The clouds rolled in and hid that shore
Now that Glory Train, it don't stop here no more
Now I look at the years gone by and wonder at the powers that be
I don't know why fortune smiles on some and let's the rest go free
Maybe the time has drawn the faces I recall
But things in this life change very slowly if they ever change at all
No use in asking why, it just turned out that way
So meet me at midnight baby inside the Sad Café
Why don't you meet me at midnight, baby, inside the Sad Café...

에 참여했고 디렉팅은 물론 세션까지 참여해 앨범의 진가를 위해 노력한 흔적이
곳곳에 남은 앨범 입니다.
한국에 이 앨범이 들어올때 마지막 곡인 이 노래가 빠져있어 금지곡으로 묶였다는
소식과 함께 한동안 궁금증을 더했던 오래전 이야기가 기억납니다.
지금이야 웃을 일 이지만 방송 금지곡은 지금도 제재하고있죠. 금지된 단어가 사용되면
가차 없이 심의에 의해 금지 되거나 수정해서 발표하는등 대한민국에는 가리는것이
아직도 많습니다.
