As a hat wearer I fully aprove of this fab song, wonderful!

Very good finger picking. Really enjoyed it. Gets pretty dark. A bit Peter Gabriel. Haha. Quirky and original. Good work!

Quite unusual. Enjoyed its quirky nature. 

i shall wear my hat with pride :-)  lovely :-)

A lot to say for getting a bit silly. I'd say it's essential from time to time. This is a charming, amusing and dare I say inspired little ditty.

This is a song that I thought was about someone else, but it's more likely just about me. 

lyrics

Looks like you've got everything you want
there ain't a single thing left that you need
you're flowing through life like the sea
boy you don't see the woods for the trees

I wouldn't decline no invitation 
to go smacking your head against the pavement
flick through warning signs but you don't read
boy you don't see the woods for the trees

keep pushing all our worries around
try to bury them deep underground
you better keep that spade close at hand
so we can dig out your head from the sand

when I burst into your surgery seeking remedies
you called the alarm
now I've swallowed all the pills you prescribed
I'm telling you I want to be discharged


Keep giving all the people your time
your family said you've got an altruistic mind
but they won't tell you when you're so sick
or that you're life's greatest fucking hypocrite

I know I don't got too much education
but I deciphered your charm from fabrication
I used to bite at the slightest provocation 
now I'll just growl and consider each situation

I may not have everything I want
but I got from you what I need
You ain't got nothing left for me
boy you don't see the woods from the trees

Woods For The Trees (I'm Alright Jack)

Sometimes I do silly things, this is one of those times. Hats!

the picture is Davy Graham, from his album "Hat" probably my favourite guitarist, a true pioneer (not of hats) 
I do play this in DADGAD, which Davy was synonymous with, so the image seemed appropriate, even if the playing isn't.  I'm pretty sure he would have been suitably unimpressed with this song🧐

but I certainly enjoyed doing something a little less serious.

■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?

poem / copyright jo richter:

scales in the sun
sparkling, bright
liminal lisping
seductive sight

coiled conundrum
confusing, tight
contorting circles
cymatic tide

slender senses
snaking the void
looking for loves
and lives to exploit

cuneiform letters
pressed into clay
where there is beauty
predators prey

connecting the cosmos
completing the course
ligament nexus
umbilical force
