Days 'til SCII: 8

Nov 17, 2010 00:36

Day 7 of my countdown! I am just now realizing that most of the songs on my list are singles except like two. XD What can I say? Hikki picks her best songs as singles. ^^ (It's also already midnight here but we're going to just ignore that)



9. Deep River



Full version of the song with English subtitles:



Deep River. The 4th track and title song from her album Deep River. Not a single though, despite the music video.

This song... is one of the reasons I love Japanese so much. Just reading the English translation makes me so frustrated, because I want to be able to understand as it is, not because I read some translation. This song is beautiful. It makes me tear up almost every single time I listen to it. I'm not good at interpreting things, especially songs, especially this one, but in my head, song is about accepting your own individuality and not trying to become a mirror of someone else. This is a song I listen to when I'm down, whenever I feel lost. Though I do not yet completely accept myself, this song still gives me that hope. One day.

English translation... watch the video.
