Kitty’s Wake - Lyrics

At Kitty’s wake we sang the old songs
And the priest was telling me about his world

I’m at the old house for the last time
All the workers at the church stop when we arrive

And everyone dies
And everyone is born with life
And everyone might find someone they want to spend their lives with
Find someone they want to spend their lives with

All the kids are playing grown up
I’m remembering that once I was a child

Some are lonesome when they’re on their own
And then some of us never get the time alone

And everyone dies
And everyone is born with life
And everyone might find someone they want to spend their lives with
Find someone they want to spend their lives with
Find someone they want to spend their lives with
Find someone they want to spend 

And I should know

Time Settles - Lyrics: 

And the decision made a hole, a vacancy in a vital inner chamber in my bones
This is what finally separated me from all my friends for whom I became skeletal

Time settles over me
Time settles over me 

And then the places I visit became the same inside world that I thought I was in
And like a fly scribbling the air I know neither the place nor what the hour is

Time settles over me
Time settles over me

And I, far off inside, was old

And now the years are closing in, each minute the last minute and following me

[lyric]
As I walked through the green,
the summer fairy was there—
with the presence of stars,
within a single flutter of wind.

I meet you again, exchanging glances—
we are invited to journey on.
Let’s head for a southern island,
singing by the sea and in the mountains.

We, cloaked in shade, wounded both,
remain the boy and girl from that day,
looking up at the wind in the sunset glow.

As I walked through the light,
the summer fairy was there by the spring—
wings closed, trembling,
mouth closed, eyes closed.

Sea breeze touches us, hair loosened.
Southern light blooms in the chest.
By the fire, shoulders gently touch,
and we weave words into the depth of night.

Near the spring, faint traces remain—
the sound of wings.
With your hands, you touched something…
and inside your chest, the wind trembled.

Your back dissolved
into the light.
The wind remained
in my heart—
even now.


[Explanation]


“The Summer Fairy” is a lyrical fantasy about reunion, healing, and the lingering memory of a shared past. The “fairy” may be a spirit of nature—or a projection of a past version of “you” that still lives in the heart.

🌿 Walking through “green” and “light”
The fairy appears not in reality but through imagination, memory, and emotion. She’s part of the wind, the stars, and the journey itself—an unseen guide toward warmth and rediscovery.

🏝 The Southern Island as Healing
The song suggests that the two travelers, wounded but still childlike at heart, can heal by singing and wandering together. They are attempting to rewrite their shared story through song and presence.

🌌 The Trembling Fairy and Melting Light
The image of the fairy closing her wings and trembling by the spring suggests vulnerability, even farewell. When she dissolves into the light, it may symbolize the end of a dream or a quiet goodbye.

🍃 The Wind That Remains
“The wind remained in my chest” conveys the deep impression left by this encounter. That wind—ephemeral yet eternal—is a metaphor for memory, love, and soul-level connection that lives on, even after the fairy vanishes.

夏の妖精 - The Summer Fairy

Ghost Boy

This is one of a series of three songs i made　with the voice of a very old grandma from Yonaguni Island, south west of Okinawa, Japan.
This tiny island is the most western part of Japan and is very close to Taiwan.
A friend went there to record his grandmother singing some traditional songs from the island and he gave me the recordings. Good intuition actually, because she passed away by the time i had finished the third song. And i don't even know her name, nor her face... just this rough, slightly harsh, salty voice. On purpose, i did not try to make her timbre more sweet sounding and i was very tempted to include some very funny moments　between the songs when she coughs like a truck driver or gets a bit upset because her　grand son continually asks her to stop moving some papers in front of the microphone　when she sings. 　＾＾
To stay true to this absolutely authentic voice, i had to limit
myself to a few elements and try to somehow, in my own "gaijin" way, stay true to the Ryukyu traditional spirit, as i feel it presently living in Okinawa, gratefully.
