With gratitude and respect to Kohei Uchimura, who is retiring.

This song was inspired by Kohei Uchimura who is a gymnastics athlete at Tokyo 2020 Olympic.
But maybe you can sing this for your hero, for your friends, for your lovers, for your parents….
Whatever it is, this is a song of gratitude and respect for the person you admire.

[Lyrics]

Cause I Saw You Were There

Do you know why I could come here?
Do you know what made me to come here?
It’s you. 
Cause I saw you were there. 
You were there.
Yes, it’s you. 
Cause I saw you were there. 
You were there.

引退される内村航平選手へ、感謝と敬意をこめて。

体操の内村航平選手の東京オリンピックを見て、この曲が生まれました。
でもたぶんこの曲は、あなたのヒーローのため、あなたの友人のため、あなたの恋人のため、あなたの両親のための曲でもあります…。
それが何であれ、あなたの憧れの人への感謝と敬意を歌ったものです。

[歌詞]

僕がなぜここに来ることが出来たのか知っていますか？
何が僕をここに連れて来たのか知っていますか？
あなたです。 
あなたがそこにいたのを見たからです。 
あなたはそこにいた。
そう、それはあなたです。 
あなたがそこにいたのを見たからです。 
あなたはそこにいました。

Cause I Saw You Were There

Chilled out house music for relaxing to some shimmery, soul-inspired sounds that evokes the Mediterranean island of Ibiza. Gentle synth waves of soothing music written for guitars, drums, percussion & synth.

Pond5

House on the Beach

I am heavily influenced by Norwegian jazz Ecm label and all that.

Norwegian Blue

These people are driving me nuts.

What is it with these people?

These people who are so desperate to be seen to be heard, and be seen to be part of the herd, that they stand up and say something.

They then apologise for having said it, when, out of a global population of 8bn, someone, like, maybe, I dunno, Quentin from Bishop's Itchington who breeds rare goats, and has an embarrassing skin problem and no friends declares himself offended by the “something” and because his goats look sad and a bit grubby and have floppy ears, twenty other people out of the 8bn declare themselves to be offended too.

Cue apology and retraction.

“These people” have no use or value in society and need to be removed from the gene pool immediately by the empowerment of balanced observers such as me.

For crying out loud.

(The artist wishes to make no apology whatsoever either for the bum notes in this live recording or the loss of his voice.  That's just how it is).

Sorry

I’m sorry for whatever I just said,
I’ll now expound the opposite instead.
While what I said is simple fact sure as I’m standing here,
Twitter’s going nuts and that truth will cost me dear.
So I’ll lie right through my teeth, a heinous sin,
To keep them fat endorsement happy dollars rolling in.
Tell everyone what I don’t think, platitudes never cause a stink,
So I’ll bleat them liberal sheep’s opinions.

Now if a non-PC view slips between the cracks,
I’ll get my PR guys to hastily redact.
Get awareness training, counselling claim PTSD,
Identify as sumpin’ else, blame genetic deficiency.
I got pre-recorded “sorrys” for any trans…(gression) day,
I save apologetic time by having “sorrys” stashed away.
Use any heap of steaming crap to retract my previous monologue tract,
The plain and honest truth ain’t never going to pay.

Oh I’m sorry for what I’ve said and what I’ve not
For all the stuff I did and what I didn’t  
I must apologise for my stream of serial lies
For telling it how it is…… then how it isn’t.

Ah thank you - let me answer that by saying “sorry” first,
In case I make an un-woke inappropriate outburst.
Wouldn’t do to confuse you with something that I really thought,
Social media ripples leave my income stream distraught.
So let me for the record unequivocally state my views,
I think you’ll understand if you put you into my shoes.
Well maybe yea and maybe no, couldn’t say, it might be so,
I hope that does and doesn’t make front page news.

Oh I’m sorry for what I’ve said and what I’ve not
For all the stuff I did and what I didn’t  
I must apologise for my stream of serial lies
For telling it how it is…… then how it isn’t.

Sorry

7/15 from the collection, Everything Except Oblivion (soundcloud.com/jenniferroe/sets/everything-except-oblivion)

This is one of fifteen vignettes written, translated, and produced by sound artist Raul (Raðulfr Maganhar, @raoulfr) and voiced by Jennifer Roe (@jenniferroe) from the project, Everything Except Oblivion. "It's not poetry, it's not music," says Mainer, whose "thinkmeters" are cut and crystalized from his daily experiences. Each "slice" paints and processes a memory—the good and the bad, the light and the dark—in a sort of sonic journal. "Each one has their story and characters, but I hope that whoever listens will make it their own," says Mainer, who likens these soundscapes to meditation sessions for mortals. Against a backdrop of mystical music, a narrator points the way to nirvana . . . but with words and sounds that are earthly and human.

■概要(Overview)
あなたはまた行ってしまうのね・・。
だからタイムマシーンを作ったの。
さぁ、あの頃に戻りましょう・・そんな曲です。

ボーカロイドを使いました(フリーソフトの「UTAU」を使用)。
全体的に、今回も混沌とした感じになりました・・ね(^^;)

You will go again ...
That's why I made a time machine.
Well, let's go back to that time ... That's the song.

I used Vocaloid (using the free software "UTAU").
Overall, it felt chaotic this time too ... (^^;)

■歌詞
「Enihcam Emit」
うつろいやすい　人なのね　あなた
あまりにも　冷たい仕打ちね

ずっと　ここに　残る　傷跡

出会った頃の二人に戻って　みたい

完成したわタイムマシン
あなた可愛い寝顔ね
うふふふ

目覚めた時には元通り
あなた私に夢中よ
うふふふ


ここがふたりが　出会った　場所ね
あなたったら　10円札　追いかけて

ずっと　ここに　残る　さくらよ

完成したわタイムマシン
わたし麗しのモダンガール
うふふふ

目覚めた時には元通り
あなた可愛い寝顔ね
うふふふ

なんどでも　戻れるはずよ
あなたに　さよならは　絶対言わせない
あなたは素直なモダンボーイ
わたしが　いいって　いうまでは

■ Lyrics (Google Translate)
"Enihcam Emit"

You're a fickle person
It ’s too heartless.

Scars that remain here forever

I want to go back to the two of us when we met

It's completed time machine
You have a cute sleeping face
Ufufufu

When you wake up, it's back to normal
I'm sure you're crazy about me
Ufufufu


This is the place where the two met
You're chasing a 10-yen bill

Sakura stays here forever

It's completed time machine
I'm a beautiful modern girl
Ufufufu

When you wake up, it's back to normal
You have a cute sleeping face
Ufufufu

We should be able to go back anytime
I will never let you say goodbye
You are a straightforward modern boy
Until I say "it's okay"
