Lyrics:

Woke up again
Covered in sweat
I dreamt that you were gone for good
Sobbing and screaming
Breathless and grieving
Oh, how can you be gone for good?

Sometimes I see you in the night
Behind my sleeping eyes
Where heart and history collide

Suddenly sounds 
From when you were around
All at once it's coming back to me
I must've locked it
In my subconscious 
I linger on the melody

Sometimes I see you in the night
Behind my sleeping eyes
Where heart and history collide

My memory tries
To keep you alive 
Will time become the enemy?
Don't wanna get used to
Living without you
But resistance just inhibits peace

Sometimes I see you in the light
Beyond this fleeting life
Where man and mystery collide

Collide

In this episode, Emily Suvannasankha, a Japan category writer at Tofugu and an enthusiastic Japanese learner of over a decade, discusses all kinds of things she wishes she knew when she was a beginner Japanese learner. Even more, she also shares tips and advice that she got from interviewing her friends who study Japanese.

Emily covers topics like:

- A little a day adds up to a LOT — make Japanese learning a daily habit
- Don’t let shame keep you from getting back into a groove after a hiatus
- Hiragana, katakana, and some simple kanji are surprisingly easy
- Learn a good chunk of vocabulary before starting to study grammar
- Kanji writing ability is not as important as you think

and more. 

Make sure to give it a listen for some Japanese learning wisdom from Emily and her friends!

Things I Wish I Knew When I Was A Beginner Japanese Learner, Feat. Emily Suvannasankha

I love you more than lyrics can say! But here they are anyway:

Something told me
See where this leads
Treaded lightly

One week, then two
Mind set on you
Soon we both knew

And I believe that if you had not found me
I would be living with a hollow heartbeat
I never used to sing of sweet ideas
Until I fell in love with you, Maria

Two threads entwined
All odds defied
Countdown to flight

Landed at last
Same ground, shared hands
This is our path

And I believe that if you had not found me
I would be living with a hollow heartbeat
I never used to sing of sweet ideas
Until I fell in love with you, Maria
Oh, my Maria...

Maria

Nick Drake - Intro to Bryter Layter (Short Cover)

The first track from my EP, "A Thousand Winds."

A vase of three roses stood beside my dad’s urn on the day of his funeral. One red rose for my mom, along with two white roses: one for me, one for my sister.
While writing this song, I thought of the vibrant childhood that my sister and I shared. I distinctly remember what it felt like to run, run, run: to lose my sense of connection to the solid ground; to be swept up and carried by the warm summer air. It was freedom in its purest form. No past, no future, no fears. Only here and now. Legs tingling, heart pounding, smiling wide through the panting. 
Bright and radiant. We were two white roses.

Who Was I?

i know we don't choose where we're born
or who we're born to 
i know we don't know where to go 
or what we're really meant to do 

so live each day like it's your last
i know it's cliche
but the day that you pass
the clouds will be much more pretty

i feel like i spend too much time
waiting iside
life passing me by
do i really make good use of my eyes

It's not gonna change you
are the same every day you
think it'll go different this time when
when your character defines you
and you don't get to define it
who you'll be
is already decided

in my dreams of a perfect love
it's not the kind that i'm capable of
in my best fantasies
it's not really me

i feel like i don't do my best
to follow the feelings i feel in my chest
a day comes and goes
and it's night again

it's not gonna change you
are the same every day you
think it'll go different this time when
your character defines you
and you don't get to define it
so who you'll be
is already decided

please hold on
please don't go
please hold on
please

am i who i really want to be, am i doing what i really want to do
