Stereo Hearts / Gym Class Heroes ft.A.L

Stereo Hearts by Gym Class Heroes feat. Adam Levine

2011年リリース。
メロディアスなテーマとブリッジを歌うMaroon5のボーカル
Adam Levineの歌声が優しく染み入る。
ラップ部分はTravie McCoy。
このコラボの絶妙なバランスがまた素晴らしい。

冒頭からサビというかテーマというか、
シンプルなエレピのコードに合わせて、Adamの高い声が
なんでしょうね、なんという声でしょうかね、
すっと乾いた心の奥に圧倒的な優しい光を注ぎ込んでくる。
何回聴いても飽きない曲の１つです。

〈テーマ〉
My heart's a stereo
It beats for you, so listen close
Hear my thoughts in every note
Make me your radio
Turn me up when you feel low
This melody was meant for you
Just sing along to my stereo

〈ラップⅠ〉
Gym Class Heroes baby!

If I was just another dusty record on the shelve
Would you blow me off and play me like everybody else
If I ask you to scratch my back, could you manage that
Like it read well, check it Travie, I can handle that
Furthermore, I apologize for any skipping tracks
Its just the last girl that played me left a couple cracks
I used to used to used to used to, now I'm over that
Cause holding grudges over love is ancient artifacts
If I could only find a note to make you understand
I'd sing it softly in your ear and grab you by the hand
Just Keep it stuck inside your head, like your favorite tune
And know my heart is a stereo that only plays for you

〈テーマ〉
〈ラップⅡ〉
Let's go!

If I was an old school, fifty pound boombox
Would you hold me on your shoulder, wherever you walk
Would you turn my volume up before of the cops
And crank it higher everytime they told you to stop
nd all I ask is that you don't get mad at me
When you have to purchase mad D batteries
Appreciate every mixtape your friends make
You never know we come and go like we're on the interstate
I think finally found a note to make you understand
If you can hear it, sing along and take me by the hands
Keep myself inside your head, like your favorite tune
And know my heart is a stereo that only plays for you
〈テーマ〉
〈ブリッジ〉
I only pray you'll never leave me behind
Because good music can be so hard to find
I'll take your hand and hold it closer to mine
Thought love was dead but now you changed my mind
〈テーマ〉
