What's That I Hear（Freedom Calling）

The Travelers 3  

レパートリーに入っているんだけれどなかなか、ステージでは、演奏されない曲ってありますね。
１ステージ２０分くらいとなるとできる曲は多くて6曲、優先順位をつけるとどうしてもあぶれてしまう。
まさに“Freedom Calling”という曲がそれにあたります。
Phil Ochs (フィル・オークス）の作品で原題は“What's That I Hear”で、The Travelers3のCover曲です。
Phil Ochsは1960年代に曲を数百、書き8枚のアルバムをリリース"There but for Fortune"(フォーチュン）,"Changes"(木の葉の丘）など有名ですが、曲作りをみるとコード展開がユニークで新鮮に感じます。

Phil Ochs - Whats That I Hear?


Whats That I Hear
作詞　作曲 Phil Ochs

What's that I hear now ringing in my ears
I've heard that sound before
What's that I hear now ringing in my ears
I hear it more and more
It's the sound of freedom calling
Ringing up to the sky
It's the sound of new ways a calling
You can hear it if you try
You can hear it if you try

What's that I see now shining in my eyes
I've seen that light before
What's that I see now shining in my eyes
I see it more and more
It's the light of freedom shining
Shining up to the sky
It's the light of new ways a calling
You can see it if you try
You can see it if you try

What's that I feel now beating in my heart
I've felt that beat before
What's that I feel now beating in my heart
I feel it more and more
It's the rumble of freedom calling
Climbing up to the sky
It's the rumble of the new ways a calling
You can feel it if you try
You can feel it if you try
