MMMiii!

Ever hear a song for the first time and you realize that it hits right on the spot? That you can totally relate to it and say, “This is how I’m feeling right now” or “This is my current theme song”?

I recently downloaded the last album by Barbarian on the Groove from the Dragon Valley series, Arco-Iris. I usually just keep my music on random because I have a lot of stuff that I haven’t listened to and putting everything on random lets me discover new music.

Now, I’ve always liked Barbarian on the Groove or BoG. BoG introduced to me one of the artists I really like who just recently got more famous for singing the Dango song (Dango Daikazoku) from the anime CLANNAD. Chata and BoG are Doujin artists or what you might know better as Indie artists. I’ve also posted some lyrics and music from BoG before.

But that’s not really what I want to talk about. I want to talk about this song that really struck me and made me think about a lot of things. And what made this song a little more special? It’s in English. Yep–You read it right. Not Engrish, but English.

Without further ado, here is the song and the lyrics for it.

Grey Heavens
Music: bassy
Lyrics: wight, NAKI
Vocals: NAKI

in every door, in every turn
is a path to follow
in every hope, in every fear
is a heart to fill

yet every time you reach the sky
only leaves a longing
no longer sure, no longer pure
and your faith begins to fall
through your fingers like a fleeting moment passing by

we’re living in a world of contradiction
even more than you know a long long way to go

is there a way to paint the heavens out of grey
only wishing to change things for the better
for so it should be
is there an answer in the light that lies ahead
then perhaps it’s what people would call destiny

not knowing where, not knowing how
but the choice is bitter
without a way, without a word
to let out a feeling

wanting a change, wanting a sign
leading on tomorrow
one falling star to take your sorrow
seeing all that’s left behind
is a tiny pain in the corner of your mind

reflections are no longer recollections
in the silence of right a dawn is breaking

too late to turn, too far to see where you belonged
find a different way, a meaning for existence
to carry on
if in believing there was so much more to lose
would have never let love become the truth

if there’s a way to paint the heavens out of grey
only wishing to change things for the better
then so it should be
if there’s an answer in the light that lies ahead
it was meant to be that this will be our destiny

I hope you enjoyed this song as much as I do. I stayed up to get this written and posted. I don’t think I need to explain this song. It’s in English. The poetry in it is amazing. Well… *shrugs*
