1992년 3월 4일 녹음되었던 MTV Unplugged 중에서 Something So Right입니다.

이곡은 원래 1973년 There Goes Rhymin' Simon이라는 앨범에 실렸던 곡입니다.

 

  You've got the cool water
  When the fever runs high
  You've got the look of lovelight in your eyes
  And I was in crazy motion
  'Til you calmed me down
  It took a little time
  But you calmed me down

    When something goes wrong
    I'm the first to admit it
    I'm the first to admit it
    And the last one to know
    When something goes right
    Well it's likely to lose me, mm
    It's apt to confuse me
    It's such an unusual sight
    Oh, I can't, I can't get used to something so right
    Something so right

  They've got a wall in China
  It's a thousand miles long
  To keep out the foreigners they made it strong
  And I've got a wall around me
  That you can't even see
  It took a little time
  To get next to me

    When something goes wrong
    I'm the first to admit it
    I'm the first to admit it
    And the last one to know
    When something goes right
    Well it's likely to lose me, mm
    It's apt to confuse me
    Because it's such an unusual sight
    Oh, I can't, I can't get used to something so right
    Something so right

  Some people never say the words "I love you"
  It's not their style
  To be so bold
  Some people never say the words "I love you"
  But like a child they're longing to be told, mm

    When something goes wrong
    I'm the first to admit it
    I'm the first to admit it
    And the last one to know
    When something goes right
    Well it's likely to lose me, mm
    It's apt to confuse me
    Because it's such an unusual sight
    I swear, I can't, I can't get used to something so right
    Something so right

많은 좋은 곡들이 있습니다. American Tune을 제일 좋아하고, Something So Right는 두번째로 좋아하는 곡이네요.. :-) 유명한 Quincy Jones가 arrange했다고 알려져 있고 만일 Simon & Garfunkel이 지속되었다면 Simon & Garfunkel의 멋진 발라드가 되었을 거라고 Paul Simon은 이야기 했습니다.

 

1995년 Annie Lennox가 이노래를 녹음할때 Paul Simon이 기타와 백보컬을 맡기도 했었지요.
