Mr Adult

An old Mr Children song that I find moving. I really like the video. The joy and sorrows of life. Where have our dreams gone? Am I bold enough to take life by the horns and fight for better days? Or do I wallow in regrets? There’s no easy answers and no other way except to live, love, choose and move on.

Kurumi くるみ

Kurumi Acoustic from the movie 幸福な食卓

*loose translation
Hey Kurumi
I wonder what this street look like in your eyes?
And what do I look like in your eyes?

Hey Kurumi
If the caring words of the people around you
seem like put downs in your ears
So what will you do?

Looking back at the better days
only makes one feel older
At this stage of my life I am gonna get going
I am not just gonna be a cog in the machine
with growing hopes and increasing disappointments
Even with the way things are now my heart is still stirred
“What are the possibilities out there?”
Try and imagine it

Hey Kurumi
If everything will be taken and carry away by the river of time
with that in mind, then living is much easier

Hey Kurumi
When it happens I am not gonna shed a tear
on second thought there hasn’t been much
that has brought on a hearty laughter in me

It’s like an extra button that made me realized that
I might have buttoned up wrong somehow
I thought to myself maybe finding another person that has an extra buttonhole
it will give life a little more meaning
With the increasing chance encounters in life
it multiples the goodbyes
But the heart still beats with hope
It’s inevitable to feel a little lost
at the crossroads sometimes

Always wanting to have more than the eyes can see
for the sake of pursuing the unchanging love
we sing and sing for it
and the wheels spins endlessly
doing more than it’s made to do
causing the gears to creak

With growing hopes comes with increasing disappointments
Even with the way things are now my heart is still stirred
“What are the possibilities out there?”
Try and imagine it
With the increasing chance encounters in life
it multiples the goodbyes
But the heart still beats with hope
There is no turning back now
Walk on to the roads where there is no you.
