Hey Buddy! Episode 1: Don't Forget To Smile

One of the last songs I wrote for my Eyes Like Mine project. Never released.

For now I'm just trying to survive...

Highway

Solo Piano piece in 3 movements, all of which are intended to be played continuously.  Within this composition, delicacy and coarseness of life are revealed.  Within them, delicacy and coarseness struggle for balance in the void that guides us through the mysterious, and leaves us in awe of the allure and magnificence of existence.

THE BILINDA BUTCHERS - THE LOVERS' SUICIDE! 
INSPIRED BY THE SHORT STORY "A STREET SINGER" BY LAFCADIO HEARN

With graying clouds hanging over me
Oh, I cannot, I cannot breathe
Your pale face behind bars, my heart sinks
Sold to this house for the use of men
Oh, your young heart, I wish I could mend
But instead, I'll pretend, I'll pretend

So close your eyes, close your eyes
'Cause in our dreams, in our dreams
In our dreams
Lovers' suicide

With last sen in pocket I turn to you
A painted rain dragon, the scent of bamboo
Sake drips from your lips when you say,
when you say our love is true
So where do we go? Where do we go?
Like a flower, I can't bloom in the snow
We can't hide, we can't grow

So close your eyes, close your eyes
'Cause in our dreams, in our dreams
In our dreams
Lovers' suicide

AN EXCERPT FROM LAFCADIO HEARN'S "A STREET SINGER"

"In the first ward of Nichi-Hommachi,
in far famed Osaka
- O the sorrow of this tale of shinju!
"Tamayone, aged nineteen,
- to see her was to love her,
for Takejiro, the young workman.
"For the time of two lives they exchange mutual vows
- O the sorrow of loving a courtezan!
"On their arms they tattoo a Raindragon,
and the character 'Bamboo'
- thinking never of the troubles of life.....
"But he cannot pay the fifty-five yen for her freedom -
O the anguish of Takejiro's heart!
"Both then vow to pass away together,
since never in this world can they become husband and wife.
"Trusting to her comrades for incense and for flowers
- O the pity of their passing like dew!
"Tamoyone takes the wine-cup filled with water only,
in which those about to die pledge to each other....
"O the tumult of the lovers' suicide!
- o the pity of their lives thrown away!"
