EARTHBOUND! Known as Mother 2 in Japan. One of my childhood favorites. Fond memories of playing this game as a kid; loving the humor, the strife, and the adventure! I chose to create a medley that I felt conveyed the spirit of this game. Definitely heartfelt. Thanks for listening!

The TV Made Me Do It

Nothing Can Save Me (From Myself)

y u so me4n

eyes open before i go (prod.shadow)

(Verse 1)
I found myself on an unnamed path,
The cliffs whispered riddles that the wind laughed past.
A guide appeared, though I never saw his face,
Only his voice, like tides pulling me into place.

He said, "The work begins not with answers sought,
But in the quiet places where you think you're lost."
At the edge of the world, by a cove long gone,
I took the first step as the night pressed on.

(Chorus)
It’s a climb with no summit, a mirror with no frame,
A question unanswered, always the same.
Through failures that beckon, through shadows that call,
The work isn’t rising—it’s learning to fall.

(Verse 2)
By the mines of Porthcurno, where the sun sets late,
I followed a trail carved by silence and fate.
He said, "Every ladder will lead to the ground,
Each step a circle that must turn back around."

The mirror reflected what I couldn’t yet see,
Not who I was, but what I could be.
The abyss stared back with its hollow gaze,
And I felt the work in the slowest of days.

(Chorus)
It’s a climb with no summit, a mirror with no frame,
A question unanswered, always the same.
Through failures that beckon, through shadows that call,
The work isn’t rising—it’s learning to fall.

(Bridge)
At the Lizard’s edge, the ocean held its breath,
A space between moments, a glimpse beyond death.
He said, "In falling, you find what holds you inside,
In breaking apart, the pieces collide."

(Chorus)
It’s a climb with no summit, a mirror with no frame,
A question unanswered, always the same.
Through failures that beckon, through shadows that call,
The work isn’t rising—it’s learning to fall.

(Outro)
The guide faded, like mist on the shore,
His words remained, though I heard them no more.
I stood at the edge where beginnings unfold,
And knew that the work was in what I could hold.

The Work

Marriage - long time desicions. But pair is stronger than one.
Inspired by my friends married 25 years.

2. My (C) dreams lift me upper (G) sky,

Dream-life

inside?

with me (ft. xykho)

だれかの期待ばかり追いかけてた
気がついたら、自分の声が消えてた
わたしは…完璧じゃない。でも、それが悪いこと？

制服のしわを気にしてた朝
しずかな教室、息を殺したまま
目立たないように、答えも正解
間違える勇気より空気の方が大事

ノートに書いたのは他人の言葉
「いい子ですね」それが鎖の言葉
マスクをつけた、いつのまにか
肌に溶けて、わたしがいなくなった

完璧じゃない、それでいいはずなのに
ずっと「正しい」ふりをしたあの日々
わたしの声、どこで失くしたの？
誰の夢を生きてたの？ねぇ、教えてよ

模試の点数、偏差値の檻
夢より現実、それが「正しい」道
メイクで隠す目のクマと涙
「大丈夫です」しか言えない朝

サークルもバイトも履歴書のため
本当の自分？今さら聞かないで
ビルの谷間で迷子になって
笑顔の仮面がヒビ割れてきた

このまま続けたら、壊れるだけ
逃げることは、弱さじゃない

完璧じゃない、やっと気づいた瞬間
息ができた、涙が熱くて甘い
わたしの声、少し震えてたけど
生きたいって叫んだ、それだけでよかった

駅のホーム、切符も捨てた
行き先はない、でも足は進んでた
スマホの電源も落として放つ
はじめて見た空、こんなにも広かった

コンビニの弁当、知らない森の中
誰にも見つからない、自由な静けさ
土に触れた手が震えてたけど
わたしはわたしを取り戻しはじめた

完璧じゃない、でも今ここにいる
傷もシミも、わたしを作る色
わたしの声、もう怖くないよ
生きるって、そういうことなんだろう

湯気立つ茶碗、孫の笑顔
「おばあちゃん、どうして山に住んでるの？」
答えは簡単、でも深い話
「心がね、土みたいに耕されたの」

陶器のヒビも、絵のにじみも
消さずに残す、それがわたしの生き方
禅が言う無我？それも一理あるけど
わたしは影を抱いて、光にしたかったの

影を無視すれば、光も偽る
弱さも怒りも、ぜんぶ私
ただの器じゃない、火で焼いた魂
欠けても、美しいままに

孫よ…
他人の夢を生きる必要はない
君の声は、君だけの宝物
完璧じゃなくても、君は美しい
だから、生きて。君のままで。

「かんぺきじゃない」

Så lunka vi så småningom
Från Bacchi buller och tumult,
När döden ropar, Granne kom,
Ditt timglas är nu fullt.
Du Gubbe fäll din krycka ner,
Och du, du Yngling, lyd min lag,
Den skönsta Nymf som åt dig ler
Inunder armen tag.

First up, mate on the 3:12 train,
Rain on the window, steams up the pane.
Slumped in his hoodie, boots untied,
Dreams of a holiday, budget denied.
Calendar packed, phone battery dead,
But still he smiles, lifts up his head.
Life ain’t perfect, but hear what I say—
Breathe deep, love, it’s just another day.

Tycker du att dagen är för lång,
Trångt kontor och dresscode tvång
nå, välan än så hör då denna sång.
ta dig sen dito en, dito två, dito tre,
så går det lättare.

See her there, oat latte and toast,
Posting her brekkie, “I love me” post.
Ring light halo, filter glow,
Underneath it all, she’s just tryna grow.
Swaps her heels for battered flats,
Walks home alone past streetlamp splats.
Café philosophers, heart on sleeve,
Little sips of courage before she leaves.

You ever feel that weight?
Like you’re carrying sky bricks in a Tesco bag?
Same, mate. Keep walking.

Tycker du att världen känns för stor,
nå, välan så spring från storebror,
ta dig sen dito en, dito två, dito tre,
så går det lättare.

Old gent down the allotment rows,
Whispers to his tomatoes as they grow.
Wool cap, flask, Radio Wales hum,
Weather app says rain but the sun’s still come.
He lost someone once, don’t talk much,
Tends the soil with a gentle touch.
Weeds or wildflowers? Who’s to say?
All of us bloom in our own weird way.

Young lad skint, pockets all bare,
Friday pint ‘cos he still don’t care.
Mates on the WhatsApp, banter’s alive,
Takes the long route home just to survive.
Council flat lights, moon on the wall,
Swears at the stars but forgives them all.
Life ain’t golden, but still it’s bright,
Even cold chips taste good at midnight.

Tycker du att skatten är för hög,
Lön som aldrig dög, hela livet sög
nå, välan ta så chill drill, puff puff pass
ta dig sen dito en, dito två, dito tre,
så går det lättare, ser du de?

Parent at 4AM, bleary-eyed stare,
Rocking the baby, whispered prayer.
Milk-stained T-shirt, “We’re alright, yeah?”
Heartbeat lullaby fills the air.
One day they’ll grow, dance on their own,
But tonight you’re together, safe, homegrown.
Lean into the moment, don’t rush through,
Even messy love is the purest true.

Tycker du att natten är för lång,
Mata, byta, gång på gång.
nå, välan ta dig då en stund,
ta dig sen dito en, dito två, dito tre,
så hittar du tillbaka till dig själv lättare.

Säg är du nöjd? min granne säg,
Så prisa värden nu till slut;
Om vi ha en och samma väg,
Så följoms åt; drick ut.
Men först med vinet rött och vitt,
För vår Värdinna bugom oss,
Och halkom sen i graven fritt,
Vid aftonstjärnans bloss.
