cherries - a song

[crowseye]

Yeah, amazingly enough, I somehow found a time to make a new song here in Japan. Well, it’s not so brand new, actually it had been halfway done by the time I left, but I was stuck in a middle and only here I got some new ideas, so I finished it. But the problem here was how to record it. Firstly, in our center there is an electronic piano, which is something like a really lame keybord from 20 years ago and it doesn’t sound anywhere near good, and secondly, the recording device I’ve borrowed is something that’s made for recording human voices, so basically my voice can be heard (unfortunately) very clearly, but the piano music is quite subdued. I’ll make a better version when I’m back home (if the planes don’t crash). So, well, this is just for the feeling : music,


Cherries

It’s dark

Your face is hidden by the clouds

So I can’t see in your eyes
What’s in there

Tell me

What is in there

There were stars in blueberry bushes

Someone took them away

There were angels sitting on my doorsteps

But they weren’t here to stay

So dark

That I can see nothing at all

Don’t even know
If you’re here anymore

Are you in there

Tell me

You’re still in there

There was an old house

Cherries in the garden

A boy and a girl played there everyday

And one day he told her:

Wait here in the garden

I’ll come back to you

When the cherries are in bloom

/And they bloomed

And they fell

And they bloomed

And they fell/:

Until the twilight came

/And they bloomed

And they fell

And they bloomed

And they fell/:

And then the twilight came.
