Dark Night, 2008
He didn't do anything wrong / 베트맨 다크나이트에서 누가 과연 옳은지, 누가 이긴 건지 모르는 그야말로 칠흙같이 어두운 밤, 'Dark Night'의 결말에서 Gordon 형사의 아들이 한 말.
신앙의 이야기로 돌아와보자.
혹 인정하지 못할 이들이 있을지 모르겠지만, 작금의 신앙시대는 말그대로 'Dark Night'다. 세대가 세대를, 이념이 이념을, 교회가 교회를, 사회와 교회가, 신앙인이 신앙인을, 성직자가 성직자를 향하여 서로의 가치관과 잣대를 가지고 누가 옳으냐 들이미는 통에 결국 우리는, 결국 우리는 또 다시 Chaos. 가치가 있으나 힘을 잃은 무가치한 상태, 신앙이 있으나 힘을 잃은 무신앙의 상태 속에 있게 되어버린 듯 하다.
옳고 그름의 기준이 모호하고, 혼란스러운(Chaos) 상황, 누구 하나 Hero를 볼 수 도 없을 뿐더러 그 어느 누구도 Hero로 인정될 수 없는 지금, "결국 누구도 옳지 않고, 누구도 악하지 않습니다." 라며 서로에 대한, 미래에 대한, 절대적인 것에 대한 판단을 유보하는 이 세대. 고담시와 같은 이 세대를 본다.
그러나 우리 다음세대, Gordon형사의 어린 아들과 같은 그들, 다음세대. 옳은 일을 옳은 것으로 보고, 옳은 이를 옳다 말할 수 있는 순수한 다음세대의 한마디를 통해 또한 소망을 본다.
그 작은 아이에겐 히스레져가 분한 Joker가 만들어 놓은, 아니 그가 사람들의 악의 본성을 이용해 만든 덫들, 모든 사람을 어쩔 수 없는 '불신'과 '반목'속으로 들어가게 만드는 기가 막힌 궤계들은 안중에도 없는 듯하다. 그저 무고한 사람들을 살리기 위해 고군분투했으나 결국 모든 책임을 지고 가야만 하는 베트맨의 치열한 뒷모습만 보였을게다.
'그는 잘 못한 일이 없어요.'
라고 정말 나지막한 목소리로 변호하는 그 소년의 한마디에 나는 소망이 있다고 생각한다. 정말 옳은 일이 무엇인가를 알고 그것을 변호하기에. 작금의 신앙인들은 너무 많은 것을 알아버린 것 같다. 그저, 어느 때엔 보이는 대로, '누군가' 드러나게 하는대로 가치판단을 할 수 있는 용기가 필요한 시기인 것 같다.
무식해보인들 어떠한가, 힘이 없어 보인들 어떠한가. 그저 Hero가 이끌어 가는대로 지켜볼 수 있는 여유를 가지는 편이 낫지 않은가? 적어도 Hero가 있고, 그가 우리를 위해 움직인 다는 사실을 인정한다면 말이다. 또 모르지, 영화 중간에 페리호에 올라타 있던 승객들 처럼 스위치를 바다로 던져버리며 Hero의 선한 일에 동참하는 일이 생길지도 모르지.
이건 누구를 향해 쓴 글이 아니지만, 누군가 듣는다면, 아, 내 자신이 이 소리를 듣게 된다면 좋은 영향력이 되길 바란다.
There are too many heroes, but one Hero.
Remember, He still moves.

We first suggested this idea just like we used to, hoping it would work because we so loved the artist. We just suggested that Bon Iver could play a private show, a Pocket Party in an apartment. We didn’t really know if we could trust that it would ever happen until one moment in May, when Nora and I met Justin for an interview in a small backyard. At the end of it, we mentioned what was on our minds. He immediately responded that this is kinda what he dreams of: that his album is meant to be played in front of small crowds, and that he was looking forward to it.
We, too, were looking forward to it, and God knows how hard it all was. We had to reschedule everything at the last minute; there was another gig in competition with ours; Canal+ stole our initial date. But when you have faith, you end up under the porch of a building in Abbesses on a rainy Monday with Justin, Sean, Mike, and their tour manager, bonnets, and gear, waiting for the caretaker to come back and give you the keys to the Buxes’ apartment.
We emptied the living room for the Pocket Party, and then spent an hour or so wandering with Bon Iver. Over the course of the afternoon, we thought over the best way to play—plain acoustic, without any amp. We brought them a melodica, a Glockenspiel; there was also Ethel’s little toy piano. Justin talked about walking among the audience, occupying the space. Then Vincent Moon arrived, and we left him alone with the band in the apartment. We had to go buy some beer.
What you can see in these first videos, and what we understood that evening, is how thoroughly Bon Iver is now a band. How important young Mike, Justin’s student, and Sean, who went to Justin after a show and offered to accompany him, are in setting up the songs. Justin comes in to counterpoint Sean’s voice at the end of the first half of "Lump Sum", and Sean is the leader, even though he looks to Justin for approval and quickly defers to him before any major maelstrom.
Flash back, however, to earlier in the day as they worked out their set. They first tried working with voices only, after Sean had talked about Grizzly Bear’s Take Away Show, about their a cappella performance of "Knife" in the streets. Justin asked his two pals to try the same thing on "For Emma". A ritornello on two octaves for Sean and Mike, accompanied by snapping for the rhythm: that would be just enough...
Time does fly: thirty people were already waiting in the courtyard when we returned from our little shopping excursion. We couldn’t let them come up—we weren’t ready: Moon and Bon Iver were still shooting "For Emma" in Ethel’s bedroom. In the end, the band came to them... The three guys just popped in without us expecting them, and started singing this newborn version of "For Emma". It was a divine surprise. The band had already disappeared into the streets, but we were still flabbergasted. We had to make the audience come up and prepare for the show. But this is another story... And other videos...
We already described the magic of this party. A magic that depended on its intimacy, of course; on the acoustics; but, above all, on the reciprocity. Between each song, Justin took a few minutes to talk to us, telling us how happy they were to be there, on that particular night, with such a small crowd.
After the band entered the room by the balcony, playing “Flume”, they asked once again to be closer to the audience. We could see the sun’s rays slipping away and hear the noisy street, but we didn’t care—Justin was explaining that was how he wanted to play his songs. Perfect. That was how we wanted to listen to them.
In order not to miss a second of the show, Vincent Moon’s cameras stayed on the whole evening. It would have been a shame to miss anything, indeed: each song was a real gem. Plus, Bon Iver gave us two covers: the Bowerbirds’ "Olive Heart" and a song by John Prime. But Moon was just like everyone else on that night: he didn’t want to do the filming only. He also wanted to be thrilled, to close his eyes and sway. So he abandoned his camera. It passed from hand to hand before Vincent took it back and moved gently among the people who were sitting while Justin performed "Wolves". The band invited us to sing along with them, as they do in all of their shows...
To give you a more precise recap of the evening, we should have let a camera film the declining day, the ceiling light we switched off, the candles we put on the floor. When Sean and Mike left their chairs to let Justin sing “Skinny Love”, it was night-black.
Afterwards, there were hugs, sushi, and some joints. Then we went down in the street. Liz Green was there; we sang in front of a carousel, on sidewalks, in the middle of the road, and then in a bar, where we got drinks. We can’t show you everything, though. We have to keep some things to ourselves, just next to the conviction that we’re going to organize other parties like this one. Thank you, Bon Iver. And thanks to those who were there.

Take Away Show #105 _ MUMFORD & SONS (with Johnny Flynn)

Comme un retour quelques années en arrière. Attendre assis sur le trottoir, devant la Flèche d’Or, un jour de beau soleil (oui, oui). Voir Moon débarquer avec deux gros sacs sur le dos. Aller rejoindre un groupe qui jouera le soir même, et avec qui nous n’aurons qu’une petite heure. Sympathiser tout en préparant les micros, traduire leur chanson en Français, puis angoisser.
Moon se préparait, et moi j’étais là, la tête dans les mains, à essayer de trouver un endroit assez proche où nous nous n’aurions jamais tourné. Les Mumford étaient adorables, essayaient de m’aider. Le tunnel ? Déjà fait avec Ramona Cordova et Menomena. L’église ? Avec Vandaveer et Loney Dear. Le café en bas de la rue ? Avec Eagle Seagull et J. Tilman. Il y a bien ce passage un peu plus loin, dont la porte est entrouverte. Johnny Flynn débarque, il accepte d’accompagner le groupe. On lui pose un micro, on n’a plus beaucoup de temps, nous partons.
Tout reposera ensuite sur la joie, l’enthousiasme et la décontraction so British d’un groupe dont la puissance se nourrit d’un plaisir évident à jouer. Sur une musique étrange, une musique de transport quasi religieux, pastorale et fervente, qui s’est abreuvée de dizaines de folklores différents. Sur un Johnny Flynn qu’on avait embarqué là sans presque lui demander son avis et qui improvisera ses parties de violon comme s’il avait élevé ces chansons qui n’étaient pas siennes. Enfin sur cette jeune femme qui nous ouvrira sa porte, sa cour, et pour qui les Mumford chanteront en Français. "Réveille mon âme...". C’est peu dire.
