Hello, I'm Dream of DreamTeller
Today I brought ROCKABYE of Clean Bandit, a hit chart song that won the first place in UK for 9 weeks.
Rock a bye is a simplely the same word as "ja jang(good night baby)" of korea traditional lullaby.
Rockabye is a song borrowed from MotherGoose Lullaby Rock a bye baby.
'Mother Goose' means fairy tales and songs from ancient times like
Korean traditional fairy tales 'Jeon lea dong hwa'.
By the way,
in this lullaby, there are many secrets that are scary, cruel or criticizing society.
Clean Bandit has reinterpreted this secret in a modern way.
Rock a bye's brutal secret.
Would you like to recognize it with me, dream, 'the theory otaku'?
The lullaby to the child contains a story that shows the old life.
For example, in the case of the old lullabies in Korea,
there is a desire to being a loyal profession of the country, an atmosphere that emphasizes the efficacy of the parents,
and the appearance of raising livestock in the yard.
Similarly, the Mother Goose also reflected such a life.
What is interesting is that Mother Goose in foreign countries reflects a much darker society than Korea.
Mother Goose is ridiculously expressing arrogant characters or
suggesting an epidemic society.
Without exception, there is a proposition that is strongly influenced by Mother Goose Rock a bye baby.
Let's read the lyrics first.
The lyrics of rock a bye baby are:
The baby and the cradle are on the tree top
When the wind blows, the cradle shakes.
When the branches break, the cradle will fall off the tree
and both the baby and the cradle will fall to the floor .
It sounds a little scary because of the lyrics that do not fit with the lullaby.
There is a story that this lullaby suggests an honorary revolution.
The hypothesis tells us that Rock a bye baby has an end to all power.
The fact that this word is mentioned in the first print version of rockabye baby also
supports the hypothesis.
Pretty hard story, huh?
ROCKABYE also has a story about reality like Rock a bye baby.
It is the story of single mom who raised a child alone.
This woman can work only for
close to her home,
a short time to care for a child,
a high income to raise a child so she can support herself and her children
and within her capacity.
There are not many such jobs, and eventually she chose as a dancer in a bar.
Because of this environment, she is exposed to an outright ridiculous gaze.
Behind her is a red curtain, which reminds me of a curtain in theater stage.
It is a kind of device that is different from other curtains in the bar.
A dancer and People who look at her dancing and her body with blatant eyes.
In between of them, the curtain opens and the bar, full of cigarette smoke and liquor,
moves through this red curtain to the stage.
This directing 'from the reality to the stage' seems to
lead us to the wish and hope of her who in a difficult reality.
What is the main character of this MV, single mommy's wish?
Rockabye shows two sides of pole dance.
It's an artistic dance that can express human beauty and
a commercial dance in a sexual sense.
In a beautiful and bright space, her pole dancing is nothing short of calling an artistic,
but in a dark, dreary bar fell into sexual harassment by drunken couriers.
This Pole Dance is herself too.
She also lives a life like her pole dancing.
She looks like a wonderful mother in a beautiful, bright space that can be with her child,
but she is is deprived of value by the guests in a bar stained with alcohol and cigarettes.
I guess this point,
Her wish is to keep a moment with her.
Her baby 's side is a place where her wonderful dancing can not be tolerated by
other people' s prejudices and ridicule,
and the baby knows her value well.
She slides down the pole.
When the tough environment and agonizing situations overlap, MV shows us the decline.
When she represents a time with her beloved child, she rise to such a high place.
'Mother' is singing a lullaby to the baby, 'Rock a bye', and continues to shake the child.
We can see holding child in his/her arms to shake his head and shaking baby.
She is also hugging the endlessly so that her child can grow up in a sweet and beautiful world.
On the swing that looks like a rocking cradle is her and her child.
It looks like they're overlapping.
Here we know one more thing.
In addition to her child, she is calling a lullaby towards herself.
She is self-destructive so that her precious time with her child is not broken.
In addition to her motherhood, she needs to support herself.
So when you look at the lyrics, Clean Bandit tries to cheer all single moms with their own songs.
The curtain of the beautiful Pole dance stage goes down.
Icon of popular culture Charlie Chaplin said:
"Life is a tragedy when seen in close-up, but a comedy in long-shot."
As the saying goes, the camera takes a close-up shot of her dance in the bar,
and takes a long-shot in the stage and nature scenery.
it represents the marvelous life of single mothers when looked from distance but a fierce life when looked in close.
The Last Lyrics of Mother Goose Rock a bye baby : And down will fall baby cradle and all.
is now sang by 'But mama will catch you, cradle and all'.
"Even if you fall, mommy will get you. honey"
I felt that every day with a special existence that can be together every day is really precious but responsible.
Why do not you enjoy singing songs for all the world's singles, ROCKABYE as well as
attractive beat and vocals, along with lyrics and music videos?
It was DreamTeller. thank you.
