Where'd You Go?/Fort Minor feat.Holly Brook

Fort Minor
マイク・シノダが「linkin parkが歌ったら不気味に聞こえる曲」に挙げたこの曲。
この曲については、マイクの妻が聴くたびに涙を流した、というエピソードがある。

「愛する人が長い間どこかへ行ってしまったあのときの様々な感情を歌にしているんだ。妻との実際の関係から取ったものではないのに、彼女は僕が長期間ツアーに出ていることを思い出すらしい。他の人は、長時間を仕事をしていたり旅に出ている両親を恋しく思う気持ちにたとえたりする。僕の友達の多くはこの曲に心を打たれているみたいで、とても光栄に思っているよ。」（Mike Shinoda(マイク・シノダ)）

ビルボードチャートでも、R&Rチャートでも、上位につけているこの楽曲。
改めてピックアップして、聴いてみると非常に哀愁漂う楽曲だということがわかる。

この曲のノスタルジーを高める素晴らしいボーカルを披露しているのがHolly Brook(ホリー・ブルック)。
彼女はリンキンパークが主催するマシーン・ショップ・レコーディングスの所属アーティスト。
彼女の儚きも美しい歌声と、マイク・シノダのRapの絡みがこれほどまでにひとつの楽曲のなかでキレイに融合している、ということに気づかされる。

かなり好きです。

Where'd You Go?/Fort Minor feat.Holly Brook　≫歌詞

Where'd you go?
I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone.

She said "Some days I feel like shit,
Some days I wanna quit, and just be normal for a bit,"
I don't understand why you have to always be gone,
I get along but the trips always feel so long,
And, I find myself tryna stay by the phone,
'Cause your voice always helps me when I feel so alone,
But I feel like an idiot, workin' my day around the call,
But when I pick up I don't have much to say,
So, I want you to know it's a little fucked up,
That I'm stuck here waitin', at times debatin',
Tellin' you that I've had it with you and your career,
Me and the rest of the family here singing "Where'd you go?"

I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone.
Where'd you go?
I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone,
Please come back home...

You know the place where you used to live,
Used to barbeque up burgers and ribs,
Used to have a little party every Hallowe'en with candy by the pile,
But now, you only stop by every once in a while,
Shit, I find myself just fillin' my time,
Anything to keep the thought of you from my mind,
I'm doin' fine, I plan to keep it that way,
You can call me if you find you have somethin' to say,
And I'll tell you, I want you to know it's a little fucked up,
That I'm stuck here waitin', at times debatin',
Tellin' you that I've had it with you and your career,
Me and the rest of the family here singing "Where'd you go?"

I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone.
Where'd you go?
I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone,
Please come back home...

I want you to know it's a little fucked up,
That I'm stuck here waitin', no longer debatin',
Tired of sittin' and hatin' and makin' these excuses,
For while you're not around, and feeling so useless,
It seems one thing has been true all along,
You don't really know what you got 'til it's gone,
I guess I've had it with you and your career,
When you come back I won't be here and you'll can sing it...

Where'd you go?
I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone.
Where'd you go?
I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone,
Please come back home...
Please come back home...
Please come back home...
Please come back home...
Please come back home...
