The Kinks

この曲、歌詞がすごく好き。このビデオはフィリップ・ガレルの「恋人たちの失われた革命」の一場面です。映画館で観たとき、革命の最中の先行き不透明な時代に生きる若者たちの踊る姿がとても印象的だった。混沌としたこの空気は、今の日本に通じるものがあると思う。

The Kinks - This Time Tomorrow

This time tomorrow where will we be
On a spaceship somewhere sailing across an empty sea
This time tomorrow what will we know
Well we still be here watching an in-flight movie show
I'll leave the sun behind me and watch the clouds as they sadly pass me by
Seven miles below ma I can see the world and it ain't so big at all
This time tomorrow what will we see
Field full of houses, endless rows of crowded streets
I don't where I'm going, I don't want to see
I feel the world below me looking up at me
Leave the sun behind me, and watch the clouds as they sadly pass me by
And I'm in perpetual motion and the world below doesn't matter much to me
This time tomorrow where will we be
On a spaceship somewhere sailing across any empty sea
This time tomorrow, this time tomorrow
