こんにちは。バイヤーの富井です。

最近は、雨の日が多いですね。

今日の大阪はどしゃぶりの雨が降り、街は静かな日になります。

今日もそんな雨の日に最適な曲を御紹介します。
アッシャー2000年のアルバム”8701”からの
シングルカットU Got it Badになります。

あまりにも有名アーティストなので、説明は要らないと思いますが
一応、御紹介させてください。

出身は以外にもテネシーのチャタヌーガで、
何度か買い付けの仕事で行ったことのある町ですが、
すごくほのぼのした町で、結構いいものが買いつけ出来たと記憶しています。

当時のアッシャーは、ＴＬＣのチリと付き合っていたことが有名で、
この頃のＰＶには、やたら参加していますね。

この曲は、しみじみとしている割には、力強い部分もある
アッシャーの中でも、名曲ではないでしょうか。

では、どうぞ聴いてみてください。

(U Got it Bad / Usher)

Oh, no, no, no, no, no...

When you feel it in your body
You found somebody who makes you change your ways
Like hanging with your crew
Said you act like you're ready
But you don't really know
And everything in your past - you wanna let it go

I've been there, done it, humped around
After all that - this is what I found
Nobody wants to be alone
If you're touched by the words in this song
Then baby...

U got, u got it bad
When you're on the phone
Hang up and you call right back
U got, u got it bad
If you miss a day without your friend
Your whole life's off track
You know you got it bad when you're stuck in the house
You don't wanna have fun
It's all you think about
U got it bad when you're out with someone
But you keep on thinkin' bout somebody else
U got it bad

When you say that you love 'em
And you really know
Everything that used to matter, don't matter no more
Like my money, all my cars
(You can have it all back)
Flowers, cards and candy
(I do it just cause I'm...)
Said I'm fortunate to have you girl
I want you to know
I really adore you
All my people who know what's going on
Look at your mate, help me sing my song
Fallas I'm your man, you're my girl
I'm gonna tell it to the whole wide world
Ladies say I'm your girl, you're my man
Promise to love you the best I can

See I've been there, done it, walk around
After all that - this is what I found
Everyone of y'all are just like me
It's too bad that you can't see
That you got it bad...hey

U got, u got it bad
When you're on the phone
Hang up and you call right back
U got, u got it bad
If you miss a day without your friend
Your whole life's off track
You know you got it bad when you're stuck in the house
You don't wanna have fun
It's all you think about
U got it bad when you're out with someone
But you keep on thinkin' bout somebody else
U got it bad

breakdown

U got, u got it bad
When you're on the phone
Hang up and you call right back
U got, u got it bad
If you miss a day without your friend
Your whole life's off track
You know you got it bad when you're stuck in the house
You don't wanna have fun
It's all you think about
U got it bad when you're out with someone
But you keep on thinkin' bout somebody else
U got it bad


今日は強烈な雨の日になりましたが、
人通りが少ない寂しい街を散歩して、普段と違う景色を楽しむのも
よろしいんじゃないでしょうか。

もし、気が向いたらマグネッツにふらっと寄ってください。
