The first song I ever wrote (memorized) when I was about 14.

I recorded a new version on April 3, 2023.

A Moment of Happiness

■概要
この曲を作った途端、私は体調を崩しました。
これは妖怪のせいかもしれません。

As soon as I made this song, my physical condition deteriorated. This may be because of the youkai.

■歌詞
「おうちが一番」
<セリフ>
足音：テクテクテク
男　：おーい
子供：なぁに？
男　：早く帰った方が良いよ。
子供：えぇっ、何で？！
男　：妖怪が・・出るんだ。
子供：ええっ？！
男　：行きはよいよい・・なんちゃって
別の足音：テク、テク、テク・・テクテクテクテク！
妖怪　　：コンバンワオーーーーン！

うちに帰ろう　ほっとする場所に
何もいらないよ　君意外何も

川づたいに歩いて行こう
迷子にならないように

太陽が沈み　あたりの木々が歌いだしたら
通りゃんせ　通りゃんせ
通りゃんせ　通りゃんせ

鏡のような月は水の中
かすかにかおる　カレーのにおい
家に帰ろう　すたこらさっさっさ


うちに帰ろう　君がいる場所に
暖かいスープを　君と飲むのさ

細い道を歩いてゆけば
お参り帰りの狐
松明に照らされたお面が見つめる
通りゃんせ　通りゃんせ
通りゃんせ　通りゃんせ

I love home 
Too far away
So far away 
You far away

I'm hungry
You're hungry?

■ lyrics
"home is the best"
<Dialogue>
Footsteps: Teku teku teku
Man: Hey
Child: what?
Man: You should go home early.
Child: Eh, why? !
Man: A youkai... is coming out.
Child: Eh? !
Man: It's good to go... What the hell
Another footstep: Teku, teku, teku... teku teku teku tekutekutekuteku!
Youkai: Ko---nban Waoooooon!

Let's go home to a relaxing place
I don't need anything Nothing except you

Let's walk along the river
don't get lost

When the sun sets and the trees around me begin to sing
toriyanse toriyanse
toriyanse toriyanse

The mirror-like moon is in the water
A faint scent of curry
Let's go home


Let's go home to where you are
I drink warm soup with you

If you walk down a narrow road
Fox on the way home
The face illuminated by the torch stares
toriyanse toriyanse
toriyanse toriyanse

I love home
too far away
So far away
You far away

I'm hungry
Are you hungry?

It's the season when the trees start to grow lush and green, and the birds and insects start to appear and become lively. 
It feels somehow refreshing, and like something good is going to happen.

I wrote this song after attending a beautiful church service at  St. John's Cathedral in downtown Los Angeles.  While still basking in the afterglow of church choir's beautiful music and the sermon's message of peace and love ,  I stepped outside to find that my Subaru Forester had a broken side window.

Broken Window Song

with two of my favorite musicians:
Moe Howard- prod. music, keyboard
Steve Johnson-bass

SK - lyrics, melody, vox

Why are you Here? ( Moe Howard Prod ft. SK)

OPPORTUNITIES

Well, my body was aching, all the time
Well, my body was shaking, all down the line
The desert heat was burning me up
The rattle snakes were fine
So it comes to this 
Every single time

Will you be mine?
Or are you fine?

Is your life sublime?
Or is it time?

The train comes chugging past
It's never on time
The rain never lasts
The soil is dying
Just like our relationship
But not for want of trying
Never underestimate
Your other half's lying


355. will you be mine (harding).mp3
