Ghost Rider Soundtrack



「Ghost Rider」には、章の最初と最後、それぞれにRushの詞の一節が引用されていて、それが章の内容とリンクしたものになっています。 全文訳をした一章と最終章には紹介しましたが、それ以外は割愛しましたので、参考までに各章の引用フレーズを紹介します。

序文

Dreamline

We're only immortal for a limited time

第1部:Riding The Healing Road

Afterimage

Suddenly
You're gone
From all the lives
You left your mark upon

第1章:Into Exile

Face up

You can go out, you can take a ride
And when you get out on your own
You get all smoothed out inside
And it's good to be alone

Driven

The road unwinds toward me
What was there is gone
The road unwinds before me
And I go riding on
It's my turn to drive

第2章:Westering

Presto

What a fool I used to be

Neurotica

Fortune is random-fate shoots from the hip
I know you get crazy,but try not to lose your grip

第3章:North To Inuvik

Prime Mover

The point of the journey
Is not to arrive
Anything can happen

Carve Away The Stone

You can drive those wheels to the end of the road
You will still find the past
Right behind you

第4章:West To Alaska

Ghost Rider

Shadows on the road behind
Shadows on the road ahead
Nothing can stop you now

Marathon

From first to last
The peak is never passed
Something always fires the light
That gets in your eyes

第5章:First Class Saddletramp

Totem

I believe in what I see
I believe in what I hear
I believe that what I'm feeling
Changes how the world appears

Mystic Rhythms

We suspend our disbelief
And we are not alone

第6章:The Loneliest Road Of America

Nobody's Hero

Try to hold some faith in the goodness of humanity

Nobody's Hero

When I heard that you were gone
I felt a shadow cross my heart

第7章:Desert Solitaire

Dreamline

We travel on the road to adventure
On a deser highway straight to the heart of the sun
Like lovers and heroes, and the restless part of everyone
We're only at home when we're on the run

Time Stand Still

I turn my back to the wind
To catch my breath, before I start off again
Driven on, without a moment to spend
To pass an evening with a drink and a friend

I let my skin get too thin
I'd like to pause, no matter what I pretend
Like some pilgrim, who learns to transcend
Learns to live as if each step was the end

第8章:Letter To Brutus

Entre Nous

We are islands to each other
Building hopeful bridges on teh troubled sea

Presto

The evewning plane rises up from the runway
Over constellations of light
I look down into a million houses
And wonder what you're doing tonight
If I could wave my magic wand
I'd make everything all right

第2部 Homeward Angel, On The Fly

Presto

I had a dream of a winter garden
a midnight randezvous
silver blue and frozen silence
what a fool I was for you

第9章:Winterlude

Available Light

play of light ――a photograph
the way I used to be
some harf-forgotten stranger
doesn't mean that much to me
trick of light ――moving picture
moments caught in flight
make the shadows darker
or the colors shine too bright

Roll The Bones

Why are we here?
Because we are here――
Roll the bones
Why does it happen?
Because it happens――
Roll the bones

第10章:Seasonal Affective Disorder

Scars

Scars of pleasure
Scars of pain
Atmospheric changes
Make them sensitive again

Everyday Glory

Though we live in trying time――
We're the ones who have to try
Though we know that time has wings――
We're the ones who have to fly

第11章:Back In The Saddle

The Analog Kid

Too many hands on my time
Too many feeling――
Too many things on my mind
When I leave I don't know
What I'm hoping to find
When I leave I don't know
What I'm leaving behind...

Ghost Rider

Just an escape artist
Racing against the night
A wandering hermit
Racing toward the light

第12章:Spring Fever

Force Ten

We can wear the rose of romance
An air of joie de vivre
Too tender hearts upon our sleeves
Or skin as thick as thives

Force Ten

Look in
Look the storm in the eye
Look out
To the sea and the sky
Look around
At the sight and sound
Look in look out look around

第13章:Summerlude

The Speed Of Love

Got to keep on moving
At the speed of love
Nothing changes faster
Than the speed of love

Time Stand Still

Summer's going fast
Nights growing colder
Children growing up
Old friends grwoing older
Experience slips away...

第14章:Eastering

The Analog Kid

You move me
You move me
Your building and your eyes
Autumn woods and winter skies
You move me
You move me
Open sea and city lights
Busy streets and dizzy heights
You call me
You call me

Limelight

Cast in this unlikely role
Ill-equipped to act
With insufficient tact
One must put up barriers
To keep oneself intact

第15章:Riding the jetsteam

Force Ten

Rising, falling at Force Ten
We twist the world and ride the wind

Presto

Don't ask me; I'm just sympathizing
My illusions are a harmless flight
Can't you see my temperature's rising?
I radiate more heat than light

第16章:Coast Rider

The Pass

All of us get lost in the darkness――
Dreamers learn to steer by the stars
All of us do time in the gutter――
Dreamers turn to look at the cars

Second Nature

It ought to be second nature――
At least, that's what I feel
"Now I lay me down in dreamland"――
I know perfect's not fro real
I thought we might get closer――
But I'm ready to make a deal

第17章:Telescope Peak

Ghost Rider

Carry all those phantoms
Through bitter wind and stormy skies
From the desert to the mountain
From the lowest low to the highest high

Ceiling Unlimited

changes never end
hope is like an endless river
the time is now, again

第18章:Epilogue: Everafter

The Speed Of Love

Love is born with solar flares
From two magnetic poles
It moves toward a higher plane
Where two halves make two wholes

Bravado

And if the music stops
There's only the sound of the rain
All the hope and glory
All the sacrifices in vain
If love remains
Though everything is lost
We will pay the price,
But we will not count the cost



   あたらめて見ると、見事に各章の内容にフィットしたフレーズだな、と感心します。
 Rushの曲を思いきり聴いている身としては、すべてのフレーズが、ことごとくメロディー付きで頭の中に再生されてしまうので、 rush.comでのNeilの朗読で、普通に読んでいるのを聞いて、不思議な気がしたものです。
 「Ghost Rider」が出版されてまもなくの頃、北米のRush掲示板で、こんな投稿があったりもしました。 「引用されている曲を出た順に並べ、CDを作ってみた。 名づけて、「Ghost Rider Soundtrack」 これを聞きながら、Ghost Riderを読むと、また良い」
 ――実行してみると、また、味わい深いかもしれません。
