The One Where I Walk On

•February 10, 2010 • Leave a Comment

And love is not the easy thing
The only baggage that you can bring…
And love is not the easy thing…
The only baggage you can bring
Is all that you can’t leave behind

And if the darkness is to keep us apart
And if the daylight feels like it’s a long way off
And if your glass heart should crack
And for a second you turn back
Oh no, be strong

Walk on, walk on
What you got they can’t steal it
No they can’t even feel it
Walk on, walk on…
Stay safe tonight

You’re packing a suitcase for a place none of us has been
A place that has to be believed to be seen
You could have flown away
A singing bird in an open cage
Who will only fly, only fly for freedom

Walk on, walk on
What you’ve got they can’t deny it
Can’t sell it, or buy it
Walk on, walk on
Stay safe tonight

And I know it aches
And your heart it breaks
And you can only take so much
Walk on, walk on

Home… hard to know what it is if you’ve never had one
Home… I can’t say where it is but I know I’m going home
That’s where the heart is

and I know it aches
How your heart it breaks
And you can only take so much
Walk on, walk on

Leave it behind
You got to leave it behind
All that you fashion
All that you make
All that you build
All that you break
All that you measure
All that you feel
All this you can leave behind
All that you reason
All that you sense
All that you speak
All you dress-up
All that you scheme…

サクラ色 – アンジェラ・アキ

作詞:アンジェラ・アキ 作曲:アンジェラ・アキ

川沿いに咲いてた サクラ並木を
共に生きていくと 二人で歩いた
世界に飲み込まれ 吐き出されても
ただそばにいたくて もっともっともっと

時間の流れと愛の狭間に落ちて
あなたを失った

恋しくて目を閉じれば
あの頃の二人がいる
サクラ色のあなたを忘れない ずっとずっとずっと

あなたから離れて 自分を知った
夢に近づきたくて もっともっともっと

否定の言葉に押しつぶされても
這い上がり戦い続けた

苦しくて目を閉じれば
あの頃の自分がいる
サクラ色の私を忘れない ずっとずっとずっと

ふるさと心の中で今でも優しく響くよ
そんな歌が聴こえる

恋しくて目を閉じれば
あの頃の二人がいる
サクラ色のあなたのことを
サクラ色のわたしのことを
サクラ色の時代を忘れない ずっとずっとずっと
ずっとずっとずっと

The One With The Dreams

•January 31, 2010 • Leave a Comment

I am but a dreamer.

Dreams are just dreams
When they’re stuck inside your head
And all it takes is a little help from you
You know it’s true
That dreams are for real
When you see what I see
And you feel it too
We took the longest road
Just to make it harder
Let’s do it all again
It only makes us stronger

Dreams
I guess we’re just made of dreams
Nothin’ else matters
As long as we believe
I’m lookin’ at you
And I see my life
Passing before my eyes
And when the journey’s over
And all my dreams come true
I dream of you

What do you see
When you look inside your heart
I little thought can walk a thousand miles
And change your life
When dreams lead the way
The impossible is suddenly in sight
Every step you take just brings it all together
You gotta keep the faith when all seems lost forever

Dreams
I guess we’re just made of dreams
Nothin’ else matters
As long as we believe
I’m lookin’ at you
And I see my life
Passing before my eyes
And when the journey’s over
And all my dreams come true
I dream of you

You’re the one
That keeps my hope alive
My vision clear
I’ll spend my life with you
Conquer fear
We’ll make it through

Nothin’ else matters
As long as we believe
I’m lookin’ at you
And I see my life
Passing before my eyes
And when the journey’s over
And all my dreams come true
I dream of you
I dream of you

If you are on a boat and you throw out a suitcase, will the level of water increase?

コブクロ: 蕾

涙 こぼしても 汗にまみれた笑顔の中じゃ
誰も気付いてはくれない
だから あなたの涙を僕は知らない

絶やす事無く 僕の心に 灯されていた
優しい明かりは あなたがくれた 理由なき愛のあかし

柔らかな日だまりが包む 背中に ポツリ 話しかけながら
いつかこんな日が来る事も
きっと きっと きっと わかってたはずなのに

消えそうに 咲きそうな 蕾が 今年も僕を待ってる
掌じゃ 掴めない 風に踊る花びら
立ち止まる肩にヒラリ
上手に乗せて 笑って見せた あなたを思い出す 一人

ビルの谷間に 埋もれた夢も いつか芽吹いて
花を咲かすだろう 信じた夢は 咲く場所を選ばない

僕等この街に落とされた影法師 みんな 光を探して
重なり合う時の流れも
きっと きっと きっと 追い越せる日が来るさ

風のない 線路道 五月の美空は 青く寂しく
動かない ちぎれ雲 いつまでも浮かべてた
どこにも もう戻れない
僕のようだと ささやく風に キラリ舞い落ちてく 涙

散り際に もう一度 開く花びらは あなたのように
聴こえない 頑張れを 握った両手に 何度もくれた

消えそうに 咲きそうな 蕾が 今年も僕を待ってる
今もまだ 掴めない あなたと描いた夢
立ち止まる 僕のそばで
優しく開く 笑顔のような 蕾を探してる 空に

When you’re young, all you care about is having lots of friends. Then, as you mature, you realize there are much more important things in life—like having lots of friends who are less successful than you are.

The One With The Secrets, Lies, And (Silicon) Sweatshops

•November 19, 2009 • Leave a Comment

Silicon Sweatshops. A five-part report about investigations into Chinese manufacturing which is rife with tales of deception. Admittedly, I was surprised to read about the WinTek saga. Despite these investigations, Chinese suppliers are always one up on their counterparts. This reminded me about an incident earlier this year where a Foxconn employee commited suicide apparently over a lost iPhone.

This place is a hellhole. And you know how I feel about hellholes.

バッティグセンター、新宿. A good place to vent your frustrations.

The One With My Crap

•November 11, 2009 • Leave a Comment

正しい大便のとり方。 The pictures are self explanatory.

Every year I am subjected to a health check.

And every year I have to collect crap samples.

And every year I suffer from stage fright.

And every year I end up holding my crap (with tons of toilet paper of course) in my hands to get a good swipe.

Geesh.
