さらさの「Thinking of You」

 

I've expressed before I haven't really listened to much Japanese music, however I have recently grown interest in this one specific artist, さらさ. I enjoy her music because one, the music itself is good, but also the lyrics are something that I find enjoyable to decipher. This specific song, "Thinking of You", is about a person who is still dwelling on another person, a lover or partner, who is now far away and unreachable. The song delves into this person's heartbreak and this person's constant rumination, and their hope for the other individual to return, even if such a thing may actually be impossible. さらさ incorporates some decent bars such as "重なったまま /揺らぎ続けてる/永遠に燃える恋", "Simultaneously, we flutter and my love eternally burns", or "声枯らしたまま /わがままにみてる /回りまわる針", "While my voice withers away, I watch egotistically the spinning [needles?/clock hands?]". Overall, the song is admittedly not anything groundbreaking or an instant classic, it is on the surface a typical song on heartbreak and losing someone. However, it is not often that such ideas are presented with catchy beats and above average sophistication of lyrics, and therefore I find this song, and most of this artist's discography, worthy of giving a listen.

 冬休みはちょっとつまらなかっても、みじかすぎました。二人の友達と出会ったり、家族とクリスマスの料理を作って食べたり、「スマイリングフレンズ」というテレビシリーズを見たりしました。スマイリングフレンズは面白くていいシリーズです。たくさん事が起こらなくて、つまらなくなりました。今学期私の授業はより難しそうになりましたから、コンピューティングに頑張りなくてはいけません。「離散数学」という授業は一番難しいでも、ちょっと楽しそうです。マーチングバンドの練習もうなくて、宿題をする時間が足ります。だから、宿題を全部理解したり、全部したりしてみたいです。
