Another thing crossed my mind today. I was driving back after a a mild yumcha session on Chapel St with some new friends. Just a word of thanks to them for taking me out for dinner and entertaining me tonight. Ari and Angie were a laugh a minute. After, I sent Darren home 'cause he was really tired... It was just a little over 10 and I decided that I had not felt like sleeping yet.
I decided to go for a drive. I happen to be one of those strange people who cruise around in their car with their music on just to relax. A period of just phasing the mind out, listening to some tunes and just to de~stress. It's an expensive past time, with petrol prices being what they are today, but its a small price for peace of mind.
I was thinking about my earlier post about the Utada lyrics.
I was thinking about how I came about looking for the translation/lyrics for the song. I was humming the tune and decided that the song was of a style that suited me. A good arrangement for a ballad with great guitars, a little rock edge and Utada's vocals. I was suitably impressed and decided to get said translations to figure out what the song meant.
That was a BIG mistake...
uso mitai na I love you - like a lie I love you
It then occured to me that the song was not all that great... for the purposes that I am listening to music these days. It brought up feelings that I am trying to forget. The irony of it was not lost on me. I enjoyed the song because the tune appealed to me. But, after knowing what the song meant, I'd rather not have known. Sometimes, ignorance is a preferred bliss.
As each day passes me by, I forget a little about the hurt that I carry with me.
Endless ni utagau yori saigo made
ano uso mitai na I love you
kiite itai yo zutto zutto
