1) Sophia is a martial… Read Full Bio ↴There is more than one artist with this name:
1) Sophia is a martial industrial act from Sweden. The band is the brainchild of Peter Bjärgö (born Peter Pettersson), also of Arcana. Using martial and heavy industrial rhythms, choral sections, neoclassical orcestration and dark ambient soundscapes, Sophia crafts a dark and oppressive soundscape of nihilism, bitterness and sorrow.
Sophia was first started in 1998 when Peter Bjärgö recorded plenty of songs as a side project to Arcana. Those songs were unfortunately destroyed and the thought of a harscher side project blossomed again in 2000. The first album was recorded with the intention of making songs for a live performance. Together with Per Åhlund, Peter Bjärgö performed a few live shows and in 2001 the first release came out, entitled "Aus Der Welt". In 2001 Ia Bjärgö, Peter's wife, joined the band and the jounrey moved on. With the albums "Herbstwerk", "Seduction of Madness", "Death,Dumb and Blind" along with" Spite", Sophia became one of the most well known and recognized underground industrial bands in the world. When Ia Bjärgö 2retired" from Sophia, Stefan Eriksson entered as a new co-worker to Peter. After the release of "Deconstruction of the World", which he also made together with Stefan Eriksson, Sophia was put torest for many years. It wasn't until 2010 when Peter joined forces again together with ia Bjärgö and Per Åhlund again. New songs are recorded, plans for a new album is at hand and a few live gigs have already been done. Welcome to the new era of SOPHIA.

2) Indie band Sophia includes The Flower Shop Recordings mainman and former The God Machine singer/guitarist Robin Proper-Sheppard. After the sudden and tragic death of schoolfriend and God Machine bassist Jimmy Fernandez, Proper-Sheppard began searching for a new musical outlet. Together with friends and fellow musicians from other Flower Shop bands Elevate, Ligament and Oil Seed Rape, Proper-Sheppard began working on the music that would become known as Sophia. Citing influences such as Neil Young, Uncle Tupelo and Sparklehorse, early albums Fixed Water (1996) and Infinite Circle (1998) were much more acoustic-based and given the circumstances understandably more melancholic than The God Machine while People Are Like Seasons (2004) and Technology Won't Save Us (2007) started to return to a more electrically dynamic and orchestrated sound. There Are No Goodbyes was released via The Flower Shop/City Slang in 2009.

OAR
Sophia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
真っ赤に光ったオールを見つけた
流れてく 人々の中
彼の声は擦り切れたままで
波に逆らう小舟が揺れた
そして次のページは破れてる
一つの灯りも見えない嵐に
そして青より青い月の下で
白い心の女を舟に乗せた
彼女に姉妹はいない
"いたかもしれない"
そう つぶやいた
彼女には友達もいない
"真っ白な私がそこにはなくて"
冷たい夜は毛布をかぶって
朝が来るまで声を殺してた
街を囲むあの壁の上で
翼の折れた風を見つけた
道を行けば荷物が増えて
曇った窓には何も見えなくて
持てるものと落としてしまうもの
どれほどの重さが違うだろう
雨が止めば陽が照りつける
風が吹きつけ雪を降らす
疲れ果てた夕日が沈み
そしてあの青い月が昇る
一つの灯りも見えない嵐に
真っ赤に光ったオールを見つけ
Weight of the oar
全てはあの壁の向こうへ
Weight of the oar
失くしたオールを捜して
Weight of the oar 青い青い月の下
Weight of the oar
あの壁の向こう側へ
The lyrics to Sophia's song "OAR" tell a story of finding hope and strength amidst a storm. In the midst of a tempest where no light is visible, the singer discovers a bright red oar. In the flow of people, the voice of someone worn out but persistent is heard. A small boat defies the waves and sways, while the next page is torn. Despite the lack of any visible light in the storm, the red oar shines brightly. Under a bluer than blue moon, a woman with a pure heart is brought onto the boat.
The lyrics then shift to the singer, who has no sisters and wonders if there could have been one. In a whisper, she muses that even her white self may not exist there. In the cold night, she covers herself with a blanket and silences her voice until morning comes. On top of the wall that surrounds the city, she finds a broken-winged wind. As the journey continues, the baggage increases, and the fogged window reveals nothing. The weight of what can be carried and what is dropped differs greatly. When the rain stops, the sun shines, and the wind blows, bringing forth snow. The tired setting sun sets, and that blue moon rises.
The chorus repeats, emphasizing the weight of the oar and the desire to find the lost oar beyond that wall and under the blue moon.

OARはSOPHIAの曲の中でもTOP5(いや3?)に入るほど大好きです。
暗い嵐の夜、波に逆らう小舟、真っ赤に光るオール、青い月、白い心の女…
音楽を聴いているのに、絵画を眺めているような、おとぎ話の絵本のページを1枚ずつめくっていくような不思議な感覚に陥ります。
SOPHIAにしか作れない美しい曲だと思います。ものすごい曲です。
@mmm-tq5qf
名曲です🌟🌟
@amikko5683
中学生の頃、この曲を聴いてSOPHIAを知り好きになりました。
大好きな曲です、
@mignonetteneko3382
SOPHIAのシングルの中で3本の指に入る傑作。4分40秒の中で3番まであり、それぞれギターアレンジが違うのも良い。2番のサビと最後のサビの後ろで鳴ってる都のキーボードの不協和音がとにかく面白い(≧▽≦)
@user-dd6pb1uq2i
持てるものと落としてしまうもの どれほどの重さが違うだろう って歌詞が好き。当時中学生でしたが今も変わらず好きです。
@ni552
歌詞も音も大好きです
@ringokoara
おぉ、今聴くとすごい名曲...!
@Noblesoflege
最初のビジュアル系っぽいバンドの雰囲気から少しずつメッセージ性の強いバンドになって行ったイメージ、毎回新曲が出る度に、「この曲はどんな事を伝えたいのかな?」って考えるのが楽しかったな。
@user-vc3mj6un4m
時代に翻弄されて
でも、流されず音楽をつくっていた頃が
好きです。
@user-lk9pu4di4e
初めての獅子に翼を終え99年のこのOAR、2000年に入り2度目の全都道府県ツアー前にリリースしたAUBEタイアップのミサイル、さらにその長いツアーの中で育ててきた壮大なバラードwalkとこのあたりの約1年のSOPHIAの振り幅とてもロックで好き
