Sufjan Stevens-Star Spangled Banner

오늘 우연히 발견한 서프잔의 곡.

노래 제목은 미국 국가인데 가사가 중반부터 조금 다르다.

즉 전반부 가사는 훼이크. 서프잔 스러운 반전 노래랄까.

Oh, say can you see, by the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight
O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets' red glare, and the bombs in air
Gave us proof through the night that our flag was still there

-여기까진 원래의 국가랑 가사가 같다-

And the flag marked with blood, with the blood of our hands
And our hands marked with death, with the blood of a man
And a man on the cross, and the cross on our hearts
Has it done nothing more, than to drive us apart?

And the rockets red glare and the bombs in the air 
Gave us proof through the night that our flag was still there

And the flag marked with blood, with the blood of our hands
And our hands marked with death, with the blood of a man
And a man on the cross, and the cross on our hearts
Has it done nothing more, than to drive us apart?

-그리고 이부분이 서프잔이 넣은 부분이고 후렴부는 역시 같다-

Oh say, does that star
(Oh say, does that star)

Spangled banner yet wave
(Spangled banner yet wave)

O'er the land of the free 
(O'er the land of the free) 

And the home of the brave?
(And the home of the brave?) 

 
ps. 처음 이 노래를  서프잔이 부른건 2004년 캐나다 토론토의 어느 클럽이었고 
      조지 W 부쉬가 재선되고 2주후에 발표한 곡이었다고 한다.
