I wrote this song a few years ago. 
There is the first acoustic version on YouTube Just check out my live performance with my guitar(GS mini)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XBeDu-J6I9U

And this time I re-recorded all of my guitar and keyboard plays and I added some beats and synth sound as an arrangement. I found the synth sound like “stormy wind” that reminds me of one scene of a war cinema where a white bird was flying away over the soldiers’ heads in the thunder storm . That’s the inspiration of this arrangement. I’ll be happy if you listen and let me know how you feel! 

And another great joy is listening to wonderful remix by labakais16

Great thanks, guys!

I wrote this song “Brightness” inspired by my favorite drama “Breaking Bad”where I met Walt Whitman’s poem.  I had a big inspiration and motivation from him.
music composed, played, sang and arranged by Chihiro Matsumoto(JETTT)
Lyrics quoted Walt  Whitman’s poem”When I Heard the Learn’d Astronomer”of “leaves of Grass“ plus my original phrases
listen on Spotify >>>>>> https://open.spotify.com/album/0XESeRnMl1qdOUok3M28By


“Brightness” lyrics 
When I heard the learn’d astronomer,
When the proofs, the figures, were ranged in columns before me,
How soon unaccountable I became tired and sick
Endless night

Brightness!
Hidden night soul ever need
Brightness!
Hidden night soul ever on call

Till rising and gliding out I wander’d off by myself
In the mystical moist night air, and from time to time
Look’d up in perfect silence at the stars.

Try to get no one to be shooting stars
Try to get no one to be breaking stars

*Special thanks to Pamela Illanes-Tatsuoka Composer

When I asked her about putting the words of his poem on my song, she kindly and so rapidly did some research and let me know the poems of Walt Whitman are in public domain, apparently.  
I felt very happy to know that I can use his wonderful words for my song with great respect.
“Thank you so much for your help and thoughtful advice, Pamela!”

Brightness

This is re-recorded version of this song. I wanted to make my vocals clearer and powerful. How do you feel? If it’s a bit better I’ll be happy!  And I added some arrangements. Please listen to this version, thank you.  August 28th 2023
I made this song while the time of pandemic. This is a kind of requiem…believing in the spirit

Lyrics
Maybe I just want to see
When we’re together along
Still my eyeing keep on always

How I save your life?
There's oceans lie to see
I will be waiting for...
Couldn’t save your life

Horizon far away stands before me
Dreaming on about down befalling
Closing my eyes in too darkness
What do you see? because I cant tell you how…
 I know we won’t cry
 I heard your voice with no sound

——————————————————————
Maybe I just want to see you again
When we’re together along
Still my eyeing keep on always

How I save your life?
There's oceans lie to see
I will be waiting for...
Couldn’t save your life

Horizon far away stands before me
Dreaming on about down befalling
Closing my eyes in too darkness
What do you see? because I cant tell you how…
 I know we won’t cry
 I heard your voice with no sound
So it tears me upside down
 I heard your voice is no sound

Sazanka is a name of winter flower often seen anywhere in Japan. I love to see the flowers falling on the ground like snow flakes. It makes me think of our life time and all the beautiful gifts from the nature.

Lyrics

Flowers, blowing wind
Flowing over my head
Slip inside ,Break me down
I see you, how once we, lately again

But I hope you remember me 
There are leaves falling on
Still my eyes keep on (the ) flow
Couldn’t take my eyes off, All…

When we’re outside into the shadows
Fall on ground
She left behind away
 I missing you all alone
 In the world
                    
When we’re outside into the shadows
 Fall on ground
 She never find your way
 I missing you all alone
 
  I missing , dreaming, over over again

Sazanka

Lyrics

I'm just always looking for..
It's gonna be procrastination
Just another day’s dream with you
Sunrise away...

Someone else is blame on you
Something about that we made mistakes
Someone else says ''Let her go, when it's time to go forward''

Rising to my eyes
I can't be alone tonight.. ( I don't know what to do)

My eyes in always you
Broken heart so..( I can't tell you why)

Looking for your grace
I can’t be alone

My eyes in always you
Broken heart so..
Let me hold you now

Those sounds soared higher and far than anyone beyond the time
Those sounds soared higher and far than anyone beyond the world
Those sounds soared higher and far than anyone beyond the all

Separated ways, just when we are
It's beat and beat , just when we done
Tell me everything is (goes) alright 
Separated ways, just when we are

Sun Rise Away(collab.with Mike Fox)

Hello guys on SoundCloud, very nice to see you again!
It has been a long time since my last release. Many things happened and gone away around me. And the world can never stop changing, I feel like I’m standing in a storm. 
This is the song of such stormy,confusing world , hope you’re all safe and well.

Lyrics 
Bringing back
Streaming inside
To walk around
Both of your hands

Breaking down
Fall on ground
Grabbing your hands up
Breath again

Now when we hurry out tomorrow
 (never tell you that)
Better way to soon
( take me to the place)
Just one more time together
If we out of tomorrow away 

Left behind out 
Waking crowd
Blowing wind
Where you go
(All fake world)
Let me heard out
Crossing inside
Whisper then
I know your lie
(Don’t look back)
We know your lie

I'm just always looking for..

POVEDZME,ZE
TY A JA,TY A JA
I can't be alone tonight.. ( I don't know what to do)

Big appreciation for the fateful encounter, thanks to Stefan for giving me the great opportunity. I hope you all to enjoy this music, especially in this difficult time we are all facing. Believe in the power of music, I hope this song will help you go through day by day, until the world  heals itself from the terror of  the unknown virus. 

Thanks again to Stefan, who gave me the opportunity and I believe in our friendship!

Sun Rise Away (Povedzme, že ty a ja) Demo

“Bird song'' is a song from my first album''Follow in my Eyes''
Original song is written ,played, sang by Chihiro MATSUMOTO. 
This version is arranged  by JEEM @phoenixz-1-299253742 
The original version is a simple acoustic song ( just only my guitar and vocal),but this version is much more spiritual and powerful by his arrangement
( especially rhythmic and ambient element)
I feel his sound colour is very clear blue. 
I and JEEM will be happy if you would comment how you feel .
Thank you so much for listening from us two!

lyrics
(I'm)feeling to remember always,  
standing now at the heaven's door all alone
( I )can't see....
No voices....
just another day in the dream

(I'm)feeling to remember always,  
standing now ,feeling your love
Life is good
In my life, just another day in the dream

Everything for me
You can do to stay with
The rain is coming for now
Cos' every fire
we can do to try''end''
let me know it's gone
Everything for me
And I know to say''I do''
I let you go  ... I let you go

Birdsong (collab. with JEEM)

This wonderful song is my favorite and my life itself. I have been listening to this song since I was a high school boy when I began to play the guitar and sing a song. And anytime ,especially in this difficult time,when I feel I’m down , I say to myself “ Don’t look back in anger, at least not today” I always play and sing it with great respect to NOEL !

Don't Look Back In Anger - Oasis (acoustic cover)

composed by Chihiro MATSUMOTO(JéT)

Thank you so much for all the listening and very nice encouraging words

Lyrics 
We’ve been wasting time
Struggle wastes your love
I feel (feeling) you fall on ground
Shadowy days fall on you
I’m so ,,, waiting for you…
I can’t keep my eyes off from you
And I hold old love
You must be beautiful for ever

We’ve been wasting time
Struggle wastes your love
Stay with me for now
Find your way so close
I’m so,,,waiting for you
I can’t keep my eyes off from you
When I  hold old love
You must be beautiful for ever
Oh　(the) life will be fine
I can believe in all your fate
You can feel it for now
A cloud is flow
(When)Open your eyes forward
I can’t tell you why
I’m so ,,,waiting for you
I can’t keep my eyes off from you
When I  hold old love
You must be beautiful for ever

This is not over yet, but...
I hope we take it over and make another world of our own for the future.I'm still working on this track,but also I'm thinking this simple acoustic sound might be OK for this song. Anyway I love to play my guitar,my best partner.

Lyrics
A
These Stars are flow for they only all alone
Befalling , follow ways'll be far away
You said that always to be lonely, I don't care
Truth is hurt maybe, I don't want 
B
Should I tell you why ?
You can stay with me alive 
I swear you'll never be alone

Forest , Wind , Sky
Just can stay alive for love
one for the pray to the all,
If all we waste

C
This is over
We take it over
this is over over over there

We take it over
This is over
Love is over over over there

This is over
We take it over
Brand new days over over there

If all I've ever known is gone 
2C　　　　　"　　　　 away

Lyrics 
The story to find is gone away
To stay in love always sounds no way

Let’s bet behind out away
Step outside to find out the way
Let’s bet behind, find out away
Step outside, find out this way

So lonely
Face to be lonely
Love me do! This happening you don’t see

So all love 
Face to be lonely
Love me do, this happening did on sign
Love me do, this happening beyond sign
Let me feel right now
As anyways should go well

Lyrics

Rising to my eyes and always facing is myself
I let you down
Closing down your fate out to the end
Nothing all your words
Stand alone

Oh ,wake me up
Oh .wake me up
Upside down to love
Wake me up,just wake me up

Stand alone
Leave me stolen
Need nobody’s help
Stand alone

Leave me stolen
Need to go outside
Stand alone
Have to be gone
