The Corrs, "Radio" (1999)
　

愛知県の国際放送局 RADIO-i が2010年9月30日24:00を以ってついに閉局。

私も例の鍵穴や Stickam で最後の1時間ぐらいを聴取＆視聴。消え行くラジオ局を見送った。

この件は追って書くとして、放送の中でかかったある曲が気になった。The Corrs というアイルランドのグループの、タイトルもそのまま "Radio" という曲。

ポップな曲だけれど、フィドルのソロが入ったり、ちょっとアイリッシュ・トラッドっぽい隠し味もある。トラッドのカヴァーもやっているらしい。

"You are in my head, swimming forever in my head" という表現がおもしろい。

Carpenters, "Yesterday Once More" (1973) もそうだけれど、音楽に出てくるラジオって、ちょっと淋しいときに聴くらしい。

サビのところの雰囲気が、何となくかわさきエフエム（神奈川県川崎市周辺：79.1MHz）の歌に似ている。

The Corrs, "Radio"（1999）

It's late at night, and I'm feeling down
There are couples standing on the street
Sharing summer kisses and silly sounds

So I step inside, pour a glass of wine
With a full glass and an empty heart
I search for something to occupy my mind

But you are in my head, swimming forever in my head
Tangled in my dreams, swimming forever

So, I listen to the radio (listen to the radio)
And all the songs we used to know (listen to the ...)
So I listen to the radio (listen to the radio)
Remember where we used to go

Now it's morning light and it's cold outside
Caught up in a distant dream
I turn and think that you are by my side

So I leave my bed and I try to dress
Wondering why my mind plays tricks
And fools me into thinking you are there (you are there)

But you're just in my head
Swimming forever in my head
Not lying in my bed
Just swimming forever

So I listen to the radio (listen to the radio)
And all the songs we used to know (listen to the ...)
So I listen to the radio (listen to the radio)
Remember where we used to go
I listen to the radio (listen to the radio)
All the songs we used to know (listen to the ...)
I listen to the radio (listen to the radio)
Remember how we used to go

You are in my head, swimming forever in my head
Tangled in my dreams, swimming forever (swimming forever)
Swimming forever

So I listen to the radio (listen to the radio)
All the songs we used to know (listen to the ...)
So I listen to the radio (listen to the radio)
Remember where we used to go (listen to the ...)
I listen to the radio (listen to the radio)
And all the songs we used to know (listen to the radio)
I listen to the radio (listen to the radio)
To all the songs, all the songs we used to know (listen to the radio)
Yeeah, all the songs we used to know (listen to the radio, listen to the ...)
Yeeah, yeah, yeah (listen to the radio)
Yeeah, yeah, yeah (listen to the radio)
