One

ざわめく感情の波　潜って 
そこで真珠と出逢いたい
抱きたいんじゃなくて　抱きしめたい
ふたりが静かに　ひとつになれる

ありふれた日常が　こんなに輝いてる
特別なもの　何もいらない
私の心に　花は咲いている　

恋が終わり　本当の愛が始まる
ときめきよりも深い気持ち　抱いて　
また始まる

与えることだけで満たされる　
それに気づいた魂
あなたの中に神様を観る　
私はあなたで　あなたは私

この世界を見つめると　言葉が奪われた
沈黙の中　孤独の中　
確かな愛だけ　強く感じる

恋が終わり　本当の愛が始まる
ときめきよりも深い気持ち　抱いて　
また始まる

泣いたり嘆いたり妬んだり
それは心の　まやかし　
振り返っても意味はない
過去に夢は見れない

恋が終わり　本当の愛が始まる
ときめきよりも深い気持ち　抱いて　
また始まる
今日を共に歩こう

作詞作曲　片寄明人

「Baby Blue」
Chocolat & Akito meets The Mattson 2

夕陽がきらめいては　波の上で砕けた
犬が吠えて　夏　消えゆく砂浜

風が通り過ぎる
ため息ついて　記憶を辿れば

海の家　ひとりテーブル　
割れた音のスピーカー
若さはいつも　愚かすぎて　美しい

祈ろう　Baby Blue
いま生きている幸せに　
ふと気づいて震える　渚にて

さよなら　Baby Blue
空を見上げた　三日月が　
黄昏に隠れる	　渚にて

Words & Music by Chocolat & Akito, The Mattson 2
Track Recorded by Monte Vallier (Jet Black Crayon)
Vocal Recorded by 上條雄次　Yuji Kamijyo
Mixed & Mastered by 浦本雅史　Masashi Uramoto

We will release the new album "Chocolat & Akito meets The Mattson 2" on Dec. 2015 from Rallye Label (JAPAN)

この「Baby Blue」、年末にRallye Labelからリリースする4thアルバムにも収録されますが、そこではトータスのジョン・マッケンタイアによる新MIXとなります。

本日公開したこのヴァージョンはサカナクションやDAOKOなどを手がけるエンジニア、浦本雅史によるMIX。Rallyeが9/9に発売するコンピ「ソコカシコ」にのみ収録されます。（詳細はBuyのリンクをクリックして下さいね）

現在MIX作業中の4thアルバムは、その名の通り、レイ・バービー、トミー・ゲレロ、トロ・イ・モワ…etc.との活動でも知られる、カリフォルニアのジャズ・デュオ The Mattson 2 と全9曲をサンフランシスコ・レコーディングしました。

どの曲もクリックをいっさい使わず、生々しいグルーヴを大切にしたレコーディングで、この「Baby Blue」からさらに多彩にポップに拡がった世界をお聴かせできると思います✨その世界の片鱗を、いち早く聴いて頂けたら嬉しいです。

リリースに先駆け、新曲を披露するアコースティック・ツアーも札幌、帯広、山形、京都、仙台、花巻…と全国を廻ります。絶賛予約受付中。詳細はこちら→　http://www.chocolat.ne.jp/live/index.html

“Graveyard has No Color”

遙かな山 The far away mountains
緑枯れて白雪 Green, withered, white snow
窓に冬の嵐 The winter storm is knocking on the window　
もののけが我を笑う An evil spirit laughs at my ego

愛に生かされながら Love is keeping us alive
どこへ流れゆくのか Where is my destination?
いつかひとつに還り I will return as one someday
我はほどけて消える I will come undone and disappear

愛に生かされながら Love is keeping us alive
愛を手渡しながら as we spread love
