■概要(Overview)
雲の上まで続く断崖。
そこに設置されたエレベーター。
「最上階」には素晴らしい世界が広がっているらしい。
しかし、そこに行って帰ってきた人は誰もいないという。
「お客様、ようこそいらっしゃいました。(ウィィィィン・・　※妙な機械音)」
・・・・・・
そんな感じの曲です。

A cliff that extends above the clouds. An elevator installed there. 
They say a wonderful world unfolds on the "top floor." 
However, no one has ever returned from there.

"Welcome, dear guests. (Wiiiin... strange mechanical sound)" ...... 
That's the kind of song it is.

■歌詞
「エレベーター」

お客様ようこそ
いらっしゃいました
世にも珍しい
アトラクションです

超絶スピード　駆け上る　岩壁を
岩肌　打ち付けられながら　頂上めがけ
泣いても　叫んでも　転がり続ける

エレベーター in nature
エレベーター 岩壁のアトラクション


虹色のライトと
豪華な内装
外の世界から
「最上階」まで

超過重量は　投げ落とす　順番に
岩肌　踊り狂いながら　楽園めがけ
泣いても　叫んでも　かき消されるだけ

エレベーター in nature
エレベーター ワイルドなアトラクション


最上階は見渡す限りのお花畑
あらゆる苦しみ　無くなってゆく
極楽浄土


超絶スピード　駆け上る　岩壁を
岩肌　打ち付けられながら　頂上めがけ
泣いても　叫んでも　転がり続ける
転がり始めたら　転がり続ける
極楽浄土まで　転がり続ける

エレベーター in nature
エレベーター 岩壁のアトラクション


■Lyrics (Translated)
"Elevator"

Welcome, dear guests You have arrived At a rare attraction
Speeding up the cliffs at incredible speed Battering against the rock face, 
heading to the top Crying or screaming, they keep rolling

Elevator in nature Elevator, the cliffside attraction

Rainbow lights and luxurious interiors 
From the outside world To the "top floor"
Excess weight is thrown off, 
in order Dancing crazily along the rock face, 
aiming for paradise Crying or screaming, they are just drowned out

Elevator in nature Elevator, the wild attraction


The top floor is a flower field as far as the eye can see 
All suffering disappears In the heavenly paradise

Speeding up the cliffs at incredible speed Battering against the rock face, 
heading to the top Crying or screaming, 
they keep rolling Once they start rolling, 
they keep rolling All the way to paradise

Elevator in nature Elevator, the cliffside attraction

Scotty. (almost) everywhere. Hasty home recordings in between realities while the children are (sometimes) quiet or at their mom's. One third of 'the wrong song club.'

All original music.

No AI is used in the making of my music or art. Creating something from nothing is one of the true joys of life.

Hello and thank you for dropping by.

Thank you very much to everyone who takes the time to listen, like and share my noises. I am extremely grateful. My apologies if I take a little while to respond to those that leave nice comments.

I like listening to music, making simple, tunes when I have time, and generally faffing about in an inefficient manner. Hopefully you might like something on offer here. 

I use a Hinkler Cigar Box guitar (about $30 from Aldi, great fun), a Flying V ukulele, a couple of old keyboards, other bits and bobs, and a Yamaha tenor saxophone.

No AI is used to generate sounds whilst journeying on these cacophonic adventures.
