New single, “Kawatta Katachi no Ishi” out today! This is an interesting version with the backup instrumentals removed:
変わったかたちの石 歌詞 翻訳 英語
When did I pick up
This odd shaped stone
From the river of the village
Where I was born?
I put it beneath my window,
And just left it.
When asked, "What's with that?"
I'd answer, "No reason." And yet
We are washed away unknowing
Going round in circles.
This is a landmark so we don't forget
That point in time.
When I felt like I would lose,
I'd hold the stone.
Its pleasant oval gave me strength.
More than living the same way as others,
I am fine as myself.
If I think "whatever" and endure,
I lose sight of my true motive.
We are washed away unknowing
Going round in circles.
This is a landmark so we don't forget
That point in time.
Change is something
That made me uneasy,
So I lived as close
To constant as can be.
Now, when I peer into the mirror
I quietly look at my own face.
I know that boy's eyes,
And recall his determination on that day.
We who are not washed away
Live even more freely.
The point of ourselves,
Like the stone, continues to exist.
I was honored to have the chance to hear them sing this in concert on December 30th. Odd how I can go a year between seeing them perform and yet once I do it’s like falling in love all over again.
