Yagi ni Hikarete ~ Led by a goat 山羊にひかれて (Cover)
May 18 is the birthday of singer Carmen Maki, who was active in the 1960s. Her voice is characterized by a melancholy loneliness. The lyrics were written by Shuji Terayama, who presided over the avant-garde theater group "Tenjo-Sajiki - Ceiling Pier". Michi Tanaka, who composed the music, is a member of the group.
Carmen Maki, who saw the "Tenjo-Sajiki" perform for the first time, was so impressed that she joined the group.
Later, the group held a membership salon for Shuji Terayama to raise funds for its operations. One of the sessions included a section in which Michi Tanaka would write songs to Shuji Terayama's poems and present them to the audience. One of the songs that emerged was "Yagi ni hikarete - Led by a Goat.
It is a simple poem like a nursery rhyme, but it has a parable of life. Modern society is accelerating more and more. Why not slow down and reflect on your life by listening to Showa-Kayo songs from an era not driven by machines?
5月18日は1960年代に活躍した歌手カルメン・マキの誕生日。愁いを帯びた寂しさを感じさせる声が特徴的です。作詞は前衛演劇グループ「天井桟敷」を主宰した寺山修二が担当。作曲を担当した田中未知は同団の団員です。
初めて「天井桟敷」の舞台を見たカルメン・マキが感銘を受けて入団。
その後、同団は運営資金獲得のため、寺山を囲む会費制サロンを開催。そのなかに田中未知が寺山修二の詩に曲をつけて発表するコーナーがありました。そこから生まれた1曲が「山羊にひかれて」です。
童謡みたいな簡素な詩ですが、人生を感じさせる趣があります。ますます加速する現代社会。人が機械に振り回されていなかった時代の昭和歌謡を聞いて、ゆっくりと人生を振り返ってみませんか?
