Nice song, enjoyed the solid vocal performance!

Truly wonderful lyrics, Masahiro. Upbeat and energetic sonic adventure, with a great message. :)

You bring great energy to this community, my friend. Thanks for the positive vibes. I look forward to your next creation. :)

"Instead, how about starting to pay more attention to what we already have" I totally agree with that. If not only to keep our wandering thrust in check but also to actually see al those things before they wind up growing all of us.

哀愁の漂うコード進行、とても好きです。切ない曲という感覚が前面に押し寄せてきます！勢いでごまかせないギタープレイもカッコいいです。

Exactly, Masahiro, things that we have now, can be gone tomorrow, life is full of surprices - so love what you have now. You are a very wise man.

このイントロのギター、凄いかっこいいですね！何か決意のようなものを感じて聴いていて気持ちが上がります！歌詞も素晴らしいです！

素晴らしいメロディー、サウンドですね！最高！

LYRIC

Far along the beaten path
No end in sight 
What supplies we have are poor and running low
We’ve so far to go

Some split off
We’ve seen their camps
Maps they study by weakening lamps
The light will die out and then
They’ll join us again

We march on
It’s our purpose
 We march on
We endure thus we survive
And that’s our true goal
Stay alive

In the distance mountains loom
The darkening skies mean winter soon
We’ll find an old tree down
Build a fire to gather round
But not a shelter
We’ve lost that skill
Our arms are weak
As is our will
Besides we don’t have time
There are mountains we must climb

We march on
Tired but trudging
We march on
No use judging
Why we do
It’s just another day
to get through

Elders tell of a homeland
Their own elders told them of and
Maybe it’s all true
Who knows what they knew
But maybe it’s all true

The trail is lost
We’re on our own 
Our courage sapped
Our fear has grown
We can’t give into dread
Salvation lies ahead

So we march on….

Musical Valentines Day Candy (Ambient chill outer shell with a chewy jazz center)

[CONCEPT]
Today, we’ve come to witness others’ private lives. In their photos on social media, their lives look perfect. Many of us have found ourselves comparing our lives with theirs. Some may be convinced by the false idea that buying more luxury things and visiting more exotic places would bring them happiness. But I don’t believe this kind of happiness will be long-lasting. Instead, how about starting to pay more attention to what we already have – our things, good health, relationships – etc.? When we appreciate these things and enjoy them, then we can find happiness in our minds.

[LYRICS]
Through night and day
I'd been dreaming someway
The hollow in my heart would be filled in
Some kind of miracle kicks in
And obstacles in my life are gone
I used to believe that

Until I realized
There was nothing I must buy to be happy
There’s one thing I should do
It’s change my view
Don’t need to keep up with anybody
Take a look at what I have

Yeah, I just realized
There was nowhere I must go to be happy
There’s one thing I should do
It’s change my view
Don’t need to keep up with anybody
Never waste my time
With this game anymore!

It’s not easy to satisfy this greedy part of me
Yes, now, I can say that’s true
If I bought that or went there, I'd be happy
For the rest of my life
I used to believe that

Until I realized
There was nothing I must buy to be happy
There’s one thing I should do
It’s change my view
Don’t need to keep up with anybody

All that I needed was
To pay attention to what I already had
That’s the way to find peace of mind
Take a look at what I have
And love it all from my heart

DANCING IN THE RAIN

Lyrics:

You’re getting sleepy.  Sleepier than a three toed sloth on qualludes.

Drink the tears of God as his arms wrap around the entire universe.
Caressing the sacrum that connects the main interstellar passageways.
Ones that appear to us to be nothing more than open space.
Crude images, distorted and pixelated, showing nothing more than the celestial bodies which create or reflect light.  All that does not remains unseen.

Fuddie-Duddies and Fugget Nuggets prattle on about useless platitudes and insipit gobbledygook.  Prigs and fussbudgets.  Hobnobbers and Hoo-didlies.  Fachuchies and fachachies.  Geese and fish.

Troglodyte fetuses perfumed in an iodine solution inside the inoculation chamber.
Hypothesized to create a super hominid race capable of dismembering a human arm at the rate of 9000 foot pounds per second per second per second

Deadly infectious virus spreading and suffocating
Disproportionately affecting poorer areas
Lungs
Bleeding
