THIS YEAR'S SONG (Urban Mermaid & Yurase Ima Wo)
Last year, I was greatly inspired by Arashi's song "Boku ga Boku no Subete" and for some reason, lived by with everything that I have hopefully leaving no regrets behind. As I welcomed the new year, I've been constanly looking for another song to inspire me which doesn't necessarily need to be an Arashi song.
I was listening and searching for translations and came across Yuna Ito's Urban Mermaid which is all about girl power. At least that what the song meant for me. It's like its saying to me that I can overcome everything as long as I stay true to myself and of course live everyday with a smile, which right now, I'm slowly starting to learn - to be more happier, content and determined.
I was browsing my flist a little while ago and saw that someone already posted the translation of the lyrics of Yurase Ima Wo. I read it over and over and then just bought tears in my eyes. The part where they say that even though we're carried away because we follow the flow, we have to keep our eyes open because surely there is light out there. That even if the rain falls hard now and we're on the verge of breaking down all we have to do is go forward for surely the rain would subside and the sun will come out soon enough.
I don't know what to say about the song. It speaks the truth. It's a very hopeful song. A very encouraging song. A very Arashi - ish song.
So now I have to decide which song would be this years song for me. And I decide that its a tie. Both songs are very inspirational for me right now and both songs quite speak to me on a fairly deep level.
Urban Mermaid and Yurase Ima Wo. yeah.. I like it.
