「メッセージ・イン・ア・ボトル」というと、同名のタイトルの映画を思い出す人も多いかと思うが、私はロックバンド「The Police」の名曲「Message in a bottle(邦題)孤独のメッセージ」のメロディーが真っ先に思い浮かんだ。そしてあの有名な歌詞“I'll send an SOS to the world..(SOSを世界に流そう..)”のフレーズ…。
Just a castaway An inland lost at sea Another lonely day No-one here but me More loneliness Than any man could bear Rescue me before I fall into despair I'll send an SOS to the world I'll send an SOS to the world I hope that someone gets my I hope that someone gets my I hope that someone gets my Message in a bottle A year has passed since I wrote my note But I should have known this right from the start Only hope can keep me together Love can mend your life But love can break your heart I'll send an SOS to the world I'll send an SOS to the world I hope that someone gets my I hope that someone gets my I hope that someone gets my Message in a bottle Walked out this morning Don't believe what I saw A hundred billion bottles Washed up on the shore Seems I'm not alone in being alone A hundred billion castaways Looking for a home I'll send an SOS to the world I hope that someone gets my I hope that someone gets my I hope that someone gets my Message in a bottle Sending out an SOS (repeat and fade)
