フット生きる意味さえ

蒼ざめた横顔見せる少女が

通いなれてる あの娘の部屋で
愛の無常を 肌で感じてる
あの娘が振りむき
オレの横ッツラ
Punch Punch Heavy Day
Oh! My God すさんだ日々を
バラ色に変えて Please, Please
Oh! My God 愛をこの手で抱きしめ
眠りたいのさ 眠りたい
何処にある オレのオアシス
見つからないさ 今夜も一人
熱いシャワーに飛びこんで
また1から出直しかい
Oh! My God すさんだ日々を
バラ色に変えて Please, Please
Oh! My God 愛をこの手で抱きしめ

The lyrics to The Roosters' song "Oh! My God" are about a person who has lost their way in life and is struggling to find purpose and happiness. The imagery in the song depicts a bleak and suffocating environment, as the singer is stuck in the subway feeling like they can't even hear the meaning of life anymore. The song also touches on the transience of love, as the singer has been spending time with a woman and knows that the feelings won't last forever. The woman in question is described as turning her face, spitting out her gum, and showing off her pale profile. Despite these fleeting moments of happiness, the singer is still lost and in search of their "oasis" - a place where they can find rest and contentment. The repetition of "Oh! My God" in the chorus suggests a longing for some kind of divine intervention, a need for something greater than themselves to help guide them out of their sense of hopelessness.
Overall, the song is a reflection on the struggles of life and the need for determination and perseverance in the face of adversity. The imagery of the subway and the suffocating environment suggest a sense of confinement and claustrophobia, while the moments of fleeting love provide a glimpse of hope and beauty in an otherwise bleak landscape. The repetition of the chorus suggests a desire for something greater than oneself to intervene and help provide guidance and comfort in times of trouble.
Interpretations of music can vary depending on the listener's personal experiences, but one could interpret "Oh! My God" as a song about the struggles of finding meaning in life and overcoming personal obstacles. It is a reminder that even when life seems overwhelming and hopeless, there is always hope for a better future.

自分も下山さんが日本で1番の
ギタリストだと思ってます。
いろんな誘いを断ってルースターズを
動かし続けた情熱にも感謝🥲
特にミチロウが下山さんが参加するなら
GNPをパーマネントなバンドにしたいと
言った時、どっちも好きな自分はどうなるか凄く気になりました。4PとΦは日本のロック史に残る名盤disも凄い作品で
大江さんが大丈夫だったら音楽史は
変わっていた筈。

史上最高最強のバンドサウンド
4psをやりきってくれた下山氏に
言葉に出来無いくらい感謝してます。

マニア以外には泣きたくなる位に評価の低い下山淳氏のサイケギター炸裂！！

@佐野忠 さん
一つは花田さんのキャラクターかな
凄いハンサムなのにルースターズで
歌ってた頃はとにかく内気でプロモーションにも積極的とは言えなかった。
この4pラストライブぐらいのテンションで
やってくれてたらかなり違った筈。

花田のエフェクターセットがボリューム絞っても音抜け最高に全振りしてるのは下山の轟音ギターを掻い潜る為だったんだと今思う。

下山淳の加入で、化学反応が起こり、良い意味でルースターズが別のバンドに生まれ変わったというのが、当時の評価だった。

+Rockin' Cat I personally think they're easy to appreciate but sadly their albums are a pain to get because of importation and I want this concert and I don't think it's easy to buy sadly
猫とギター初心者。練習の日々
