Switchfoot - You Found Me

너희 중에 어떤 사람이 양 백 마리가 있는데 그 중의 하나를 잃으면 아흔아홉 마리를 들에 두고 그 잃은 것을 찾아내기까지 찾아다니지 아니하겠느냐 ; 또 찾아낸즉 즐거워 어깨에 메고 ; 집에 와서 그 벗과 이웃을 불러 모으고 말하되 나와 함께 즐기자 나의 잃은 양을 찾아내었노라 하리라 ; 내가 너희에게 이르노니 이와 같이 죄인 한 사람이 회개하면 하늘에서는 회개할 것 없는 의인 아흔아홉으로 말미암아 기뻐하는 것보다 더하리라 

Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Does he not leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? ; And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders ; and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, 'Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.' ; I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent. 

[누가복음 Luke 15:4~7]

Switchfoot ▶ Jon Foreman (lead vocals, guitar, keyboards, piano, 1996~) ; Tim Foreman (bass, backing vocals, acoustic guitar, 1996~) ; Chad Butler (drums, percussion, 1996~) ; Jerome Fontamillas (keyboards, piano, synthesizers, rhythm guitar, backing vocals, 2001~) ; Drew Shirley (lead guitar, backing vocals, 2005~) 멤버 교체 없이 20년 이상 이어져 온 밴드 ?! 

이들의 음악적인 스타일은 여러 크리스천 밴드와 다소 다른 면들이 많은 편인데요, 다소 은유적으로 표현된 가사로 해석이 쉽지 않고 여러 번 들어도 기억에 남는 멜로디가 적은 편이지만 대체로 고급스러운 모던 락 스타일이 아닐까 싶습니다.

GMA Dove Awards에서는 Rock/Contemporary Recorded Song of the Year (2004, 2005, 2010, 2012, 2014), Rock/Contemporary Album of the Year (2004, 2012, 2014), Artist of the Year (2014) 등 14회 수상과 Grammy Awards에서는 2011년 Best Rock or Rap Gospel Album을 수상한 바 있습니다.

이들은 대중 팝 음반사 (Columbia Records ; Atlantic Records ; Vanguard Records)와 활동 계약을 하는 것에서도 알 수 있듯이 크리스천들로 구성된 밴드로서 활동을 하며 장르적인 구분을 두지 않는다고 봐야 할 것인데요, 빌보드에서도 Alternative, Rock 차트 상위권에 오르고, [A Walk to Remember, 2002], [The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, 2008] 같은 영화의 사운드트랙에도 참여하는 등 대중음악 영역에서 인지도를 쌓아 왔습니다.

'You Found Me' ▶ 최연소 올림픽 국가대표, 2차 세계대전에 참전, 비행기가 격추된 후 47일간의 태평양에서의 조난 상황, 구조되었으나 850일간 일본군에 전쟁 포로를 겪은 Louis Zamperini 실화를 배경으로한 Laura Hillenbrand의 베스트셀러 작품 [Unbroken: Path To Redemption]을 근간으로 여배우 안젤리나 졸리가 감독으로 참여해서 화제가 되었던 [Unbroken, 2014]이 영화로 만들어졌었고요, 크리스천 영화 전문 감독인 Harold Cronk의 연출로 두 번째로 제작된 [Unbroken: Path To Redemption, 2018]의 사운드트랙울 위해 만들어져 수록된 노래입니다.

I was lookin' for an answer, for a way to stop the pain When You came to me with healin' (healin') ; I was lookin' for a fix, when You broke these chains What a beautiful feelin' (feelin')

I was lookin' for a way back home

When I found healin' for my wounded heart I found mercy in Your open arms ; I found freedom when You set me free I found myself when You found me ; When You found me When You found me

I was lookin' for solutions when my world went up in flames But You walked me through the fire (fire, but You walked me through the fire) ; I was holdin' on to anger, with my fists around the reins But You were pullin' me tighter (tighter, You were pullin' me tighter)

I was lookin' for a way back home

When I found healin' for my wounded heart I found mercy in Your open arms ; I found freedom when You set me free I found myself when You found me

When You found me, I was runnin' and reckless When You found me Now I'm runnin' home ; When You found me I was runnin' away When You found me Now I'm runnin' home ; When You found me Yeah, I finally found my redemption You found me and You made me whole ; Yeah, I didn't know that I'd been missin' 'Til You found me When You found me

'Cause I found healin' for my wounded heart I found mercy in Your open arms ; I found freedom when You set me free I found myself when You found me When You found me

Farewell to all of my resentment All my discontentment is forgiven and I let it go ; Farewell to darkness and the silence Anger from the violence is forgiven and I let it go ; Farewell to all of my resentment All my discontentment is forgiven and I let it go ; Farewell to darkness and the silence Anger from the violence is forgiven and I let it go ; When You found me
