満月（Full Moon）

月満ちて空冴えかえり張りつめる
天の丸窓開けたのはだれ？

The moon is full and the night sky is bright.
Who opened the round window of heaven?

Invisible
Far Away
Signals
Come unsorted
Some ghost you are to be so easily
I wanna see
How my light
Refracts on your metallic surface

READ > inverted-audio.com/premiere-melquiades-morning-breeze

"Morning Breeze" is as gentle and languid as the title suggests. Blissful piano chords and floating synthesizers drift somnolently over a steady, mid-tempo pulse: it's the sonic equivalent of a Sunday morning lie-in.
