I stumbled upon Harry Nilsson’s Spanish version of Without You many years after falling in love with his original recording. My reaction went from "what?" to "why?!" to "alright it’s kinda tight." Even though this version was probably a thirsty major-label marketing decision to reach a broader audience, my personal saga of bewilderment turned endearment would ultimately deepen my love for the song (the original, not the Spanish version). 

So in an attempt to pay forward a memorable experience of strange discovery that I once had, I present to you 2021’s runaway success, Sunny In The Making, now sung in Japanese by a non-Japanese-speaking Japanese-American-Me. Good luck with it.

DESTROY, DESTROY, DESTROY

He heard the creak of the furniture,
Thought it might be the dead on the line,
A great grand aunt with a message,
Or just ghosts killing time.
Invisibility,
Scientific impossibility,
Living in a universe,
Haunted by uncertainty.
He came home, the house was broken,
Nothing gone but his doubt,
Could’ve called the police,
But he likes to ride it out.

Invisibility,
Scientific impossibility,
Living in a universe,
Haunted by uncertainty.

“If it’s unheard of, it must be true 
That’s what the clever ones do.”
By the fortunate failure of consequence,
We forget what we believe,
And learn to live with shadows,
That never really leave.

Invisibility,
Scientific impossibility,
Living in a universe,
Haunted by uncertainty.

Invisibility,
Scientific impossibility,
Living in a universe,
Haunted by uncertainty.

INVISIBILITY

Let You Go.mp3

A slow-burning indie ballad exploring connection, longing, and the quiet ache of what could have been. “People” drifts through late-night city streets and dream-lit memories — part confession, part revelation. For those who’ve loved deeply, and wondered what else might have been waiting.
