Youtube. Broadcasting Myself. Edition 35. Fantasy.
There was a time when LJ was the only place where I shared my covers. And now it's the last one where I'm posting this today :) But anyway, it does feel like home here, a place where I can say more than on other social networks.
This melody is special. I mean... all melodies that I cover are special to me, evoking different emotions. This version of Earth, Wind & Fire's Fantasy is... so simple. And yet every time it started playing in Love Shuffle, I felt pain and sadness and all kinds of things. It never stops amazing me how music can touch your heart just with a couple of notes. And this is definitely the case.
This piano version of Fantasy... To me it is the sound of sadness that overcomes you, holding you so tight that you can't move. Tears fall down your face and you just sit and think. It is this kind of silence and numbness when you don't even have the strength to weep.
In my mind, this quote expresses my perception of this melody rather well, even though in the drama Fantasy and Usami's words did not go together. However, for me they do.
“I want someone to want me so much that if I disappear, there will be a hole in their heart. If that is the only proof that a person existed, then truthfully, how many people are alive right now? Whether it’s my lover or my friend, it doesn’t matter. I don’t mind if it’s only one person who will care about me that much.” - Usami Kei
