네, 이번에 제가 또 소개해드릴 곡은 Linkin Park의 In the End입니다. 제가 중학교 1학년이 끝날 무렵, 중1에서 중2넘어가는 그 사이에 미국에 잠시 놀러갔었던 적이 있습니다. 그 때 Linkin Park의 In the End를 처음 들었는데, 정말 충격을 받았습니다. 아, 하드한 음악 속에 어떤 그 기계음이 적절히 탁, 섞이고, 그리고 아주 근사한 랩이 다 한 음악에 있다는 게 너무 충격적이었고, 아...정말 매료되었던 아티스트, 그리고 그 아티스트의 음악입니다. 제가 태어나서 처음으로 뮤지션의 포스터를 방 안에 붙여뒀던 아티스트, Linkin Park였습니다. 제가 몇 년전에 일본에서 Linkin Park의 오프닝을 한 적이 있는데, 아...정말 감동. 감개무량했습니다. 여러분들을 만난 경험과 더불어 가장 뿌듯한 순간이 아니었나. 그런 생각도 해 봤습니다. 

그럼 들어보시죠. Linkin Park의 In the End.

Now, the next song I will introduce is "In the End" by Linkin Park. When I was finishing my 1st year in middle school, at the time between 1st and 2nd year in middle school, I went to visit the US shortly. That's when I  listened to "In the End" by Linkin Park for the first time, and it was such a shock to me. Ah, the fact that electronic sound could be mixed nicely into hard (rock) music in addition to such superb rapping, and how all of them could coexist in one song was just so shocking. This artist and their music just captivated me. Linkin Park was the first artist ever whose poster I put up in my room. A few years ago, I opened for Linkin Park in Japan. Ah...it was such a moving moment. I was so touched. I thought, together with the experience of having met you, it was perhaps the most rewarding moment.

Let's take a listen. "In the End" by Linkin Park.

Linkin Park - "In The End"

(It starts with one)

One thing I don't know why

It doesn’t even matter how hard you try

Keep that in mind, I designed this rhyme

To explain in due time

(All I know)

Time is a valuable thing

Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings

Watch it count down to the end of the day

The clock ticks life away

(It’s so unreal)

Didn’t look out below

Watch the time go right out the window

Trying to hold on but didn’t even know

I wasted it all just to watch you go

I kept everything inside and even though I tried, it all fell apart

What it meant to be will eventually be a memory of a time when...

I tried so hard

And got so far

But in the end

It doesn't even matter

I had to fall

To lose it all

But in the end

It doesn't even matter

One thing, I don’t know why

It doesn’t even matter how hard you try

Keep that in mind, I designed this rhyme

To remind myself how

I tried so hard

In spite of the way you were mocking me

Acting like I was part of your property

Remembering all the times you fought with me

I’m surprised it got so (far)

Things aren’t the way they were before

You wouldn’t even recognize me anymore

Not that you knew me back then

But it all comes back to me

In the end

You kept everything inside and even though I tried, it all fell apart

What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time when...

I tried so hard

And got so far

But in the end

It doesn’t even matter

I had to fall

To lose it all

But in the end

It doesn’t even matter

I've put my trust in you

Pushed as far as I can go

For all this

There’s only one thing you should know

I've put my trust in you

Pushed as far as I can go

For all this

There’s only one thing you should know

I tried so hard

And got so far

But in the end

It doesn’t even matter

I had to fall

To lose it all

But in the end

It doesn’t even matter
