Lyrics:

A renaissance is needed
in this present we’re living.
Now is the time (2)
Recognising one another
as a friend, as a true brother.
Now is the time (2)
We need empathy…

By sectarian politicians
humankind is being confronted.
Now is the time (2)
Troubles they want us to see,
people live them more easily.
Now is the time (2)
We need pragmatism …

We’re all part of minorities,
the red haired or left handed.
Now is the time (2)
No more talk about left or right,
no more minding if black or white.
Now is the time (2)
We need global thinking …

A renaissance is needed
in this present we’re living.
Now is the time (2)
Love flows freely in every heart.
Revolution inside each one.
Now is the time (2)
We need empathy…

It's The Time (with Janine Levinson)

When I woke up this morning
I was still asleep
My imagination was swarming
I might have gone too deep
I floated down the hall
Looking at pictures of the past
Then I began to crawl
To the light and I asked

I floated down the hall
Looking at pictures of the past
Then I began to crawl
To the light and I asked

Dark wings
Crows sleep
I’m Lost
I Feel
It’s a trap
It’s pulling me under
It’s pulling me under
Smoke puts out the fire 
Smoke puts out the fire 
Smoke puts out the fire 
Dark wings
Crows sleep
I think they can hear all my thoughts
It’s a trap
It’s pulling me under
It’s pulling me under
Smoke puts out the fire
Smoke puts out the fire 
Smoke puts out the fire

Smoke Puts Out The Fire

Creeping Horror From Outer Space

This is a very nice pop song (and my first!!!) that I had the luck to build up with the great and charming producer Johan Johansson (aka Jellycot). He came into Songstuff asking for collaborations, and I joined! He sent me a super cool "Happy track" and told me to try to write some melody and lyrics over it, asking me if I could please, in addition write something in Japanese. Of course I accepted the challenge (it not easy at all for me writing a song in Japanese...)
It was the first time for me listening to somebody singing my melodies and lyrics and it was so magic, he is a really great singer with a very sweet voice, and his talent and knowledge in music production is noticeable if you check the quality of the track, and the great job he did assembling our voices together, and melting them with the track. 


LYRICS:

 I got up in my bedroom,
the sun warming my face,
everything seemed ﻿so normal,
like any other day.

When I look through my window,
the quiet Sunday street,
I saw you waiting for me,
can't describe what I felt.

心はドキドキした、　               // the heart was accelerated of emotion
感じはすごかっただ、              // the feeling was amazing
自分の人生じゃないみたい、   // it doesn't look like my own life
でも私のだ。                              // but it is.

I used to stay awake,
thinking about this day,
I wonder what will happen underneath the Sakura rain.
And when you smile that way,
a picture in a frame,
I wonder what will happen underneath the Sakura rain.
 
Wanted to rush towards you,
I had to see your face.
My heart was on my temple,
lost control of my breath.

When we met outside my place,
the words got stuck again,
then suddenly you kissed me,
under the soft pink rain.

自分の人生じゃないみたい、  // it doesn't look like my own life
でも私のだ。                              // but it is.

I used to stay awake,
thinking about this day,
I can't believe what happened underneath the Sakura rain.

And when you smile that way,
a picture in a frame,
I can't believe what happened underneath the Sakura rain.
Underneath the Sakura rain.
I can't believe that happened underneath the Sakura rain.

I saw this coming,
I really want this to be real.
You make me happy,
It seems that we have shared a dream.

The way you're kissing me,
I think this is a dream,
but I'm not waking up I'm still here in the Sakura rain.
And when you smile that way,
a picture in a frame,
I can't believe that happened underneath the Sakura rain.

春は一番いい季節                        // Spring is the best season,
皆さんは愛について考える      // everybody things about love
何でも起こりうる                      // anything can happen
underneath the Sakura rain.

春は一番いい季節                        // Spring is the best season,
皆さんは愛について考える      // everybody thinks about love
And I'm so glad it happened
underneath the Sakura rain.

THE NIGHT HAS COME

Now that we are trapped in the dust
we miss the sky.
Past beauty seems like a dream
we’ll never find. 

We can’t return,
there’s no way back.
We didn’t do what we were told,
try to understand.
The game is over, 
we’ve lost the war. 
Now we are longing on this darkness
for what is gone.

We are in desert of smoke, 
look what we’ve got
only shambles on the sight
hopeless souls. 

What we loved
burnt in fire
and we are standing.
Peaceful days
melting down
now the night has come.

Memories of better times
come to my  mind.
We see their shade as we pass
and wave goodbye.

It’s hard to know
we walk alone
closed all the doors and now we have
nowhere to go. 

Take all your sadness 
let it rage on.
Now that the history is erased
we should put new words.

Someday the rain will return
and clean the scars
until the we shall better force
our aim to survive.

What we loved
burnt in fire
and we are standing.
Peaceful days
melting down
now the night has come.

The Night Has Come (feat. MisterMyr)- Video & Lyrics in description!

Trying to sow this seed of hope here in this musical tapestry. Trough battle and hardships we can come to see and appreciate this tiny but shining and sparkling voice of hope! May we overcome our despair through art and the amazing human capacity of facing the trouble head on!

It's been good fun recording this song, which I started to write some years ago, sitting in a beautiful cafe in a wonderful town square in France.  Hope you like it!
LYRICS:
Behind her cool sunglasses and her long dark hair
No one sees the colour of her eyes
At her table in the corner of the cafe on the square
She watches the world go by

And he just longs to know her
As she comes to the cafe every day
But when he takes her coffee to her table
He can never find the words to say

Behind her cool sunglasses and her long dark hair
As the world goes walking by
From her table in the corner of the cafe on the square
She keeps him in the corner of her eye

And she just longs to know him
As he waits on her table every day
But when he brings her coffee to her table
She can never find the words to say

She raises her sunglasses to the top of her head
Holding back her long dark hair
At her table in the corner of the cafe in the square 
She looks up from her chair

As he brings her coffee to her table 
Just as does every day
His eyes meet hers for the very first time
No need for any words to say

Wrong Or Right

Symbol of Love

Track shows a very delicate theme and a quite hard-riffed part, both alternating and finally flowing up to an endless symphonic dream (words are half a poem I wrote previously (not these, but lyrics below)).

Letra  /  Translated lyrics:

No despiertes (Sólo un sueño)  /  Don’t you wake up (Only a dream)

No... despierta... no... no despiertes  /  No ... wake up ... no ... don’t you wake up
no, cuidado... no despiertes, na na na na na...  /  no, take care ... don’t you wake up, na na na na na…
... despierta al fin y date cuenta  /  ... wake up at last and realize
de que todo ha sido un sueño, na na na na na...  /  everything has been a dream, na na na na na...

Una vez más, nervios y resentimiento,  /  Once again, nerves and resentment,
todo en mi vida es sueño, sólo ha sido eso.  /  everything in my life is a dream, it has only been so.

Y de nuevo, con el tiempo,  /  And again, with time,
incubando un nuevo sueño,  /  incubating a new dream,
me voy hundiendo en mis propios brazos,  /  I am sinking in my own arms,
me acuno, me canto y me voy acostumbrando...  /  cradle myself, sing to myself and get used...

Otro escenario, otros personajes,  /  Another stage, other characters,
la misma historia, na na na na na...  /  the same story, na na na na na...
que durará un día, un milenio,  /  which will last one day, a millenium,
toda mi vida, na na na na na...  /  all my life, na na na na na...

Pero sin duda vendrán a despertarme  /  But undoubtedly the laughs of people
las risas de la gente, alguna tarde.  /  will come to wake me up, any evening.

Y entonces, con miedo...  /  And then, fearfully...

No... despierta… no… no despiertes (…)  /  No ... wake up ... no ... don’t you wake up (…)

No despiertes (Sólo un sueño)

Long time no see. I didn't have enough time to drop in at SC. Sorry for no reply to many kind comments.
All of a sudden our world was attacked by pandemic of COVID-19. A year has passed, but chaotic situation still continues even in Japan.
The tragedy of our country is that the Health, Labor and Welfare Ministry did nothing against pandemic although they had enough time and money. In Japan even though  there have been only a few percent of patients compared with Europe and America, healthcare collapse occurred  due to incompetent Ministry. There are enough hospital beds in Japan but only 2% of them has been used for COVID-19. Ministry neither prepared those unoccupied beds for COVID-19 nor recruited medical workers who specialize in infectious disease.
Instead the government unduly restrained our daily activities because of medical collapse. No money was spent on resolving the collapse!
As a result many young people lost their jobs and suicide rate has increased.
Sorry, SoundCloud is not a place where we argue social problems but where we express our own music.
Anyway I composed and played this song expecting the day we are relieved from the mess. I hope everyone in SC is doing well !
