Earlier this month, I played for the third time at a live house in downtown Kobe. This coming Saturday, I will be playing there again. Someone I am growing quite fond of said he might just make it this time. I hope he does. I plan to cover Irish band The Frames' "Falling Slowly" as the final song of the set. Recently, I flipped through Murakami Haruki's "Murakami Songs" and discovered a classic Jazz song from 1947---"Born to be Blue" I borrowed three words from the first line and wrote a song: どれくらいの ナミダから 貴方を守って あげられるのだろう どれくらいの チカラで 貴方を愛して あげられるのだろう To find that four-leaved Clover I believe In you is the key To live in clover Are we getting closer? Or need we travel further? どれくらいの トキが経つまで 貴方の目を見て 伝えられるのだろう こころの扉 開いておくから 貴方は微笑んで 一歩を踏み出すのかな ヨツバの世界へ ふたりは手をつないで 暮らしに行こう
