Lyrics
~~~~~~~~
蒸し暑い 目覚めて
蝉の声 食パンとバター
お隣の 男の子
待ち合わせ 一緒に行こう
学校まで 曲がり道
上履き履き変えて 朝の挨拶
国語の 教科書を
忘れた 貸してよ
放課後に サッカーしよう
図書館 で待ってるよ
待ってるよ 待ってるよ 待ってるよ 待ってる よ
時計が鳴る お日様隠れた
今日のご飯 何かな
天ぷらと お豆腐と
ごまあえ ほうれん草
おばあちゃんの 手作り
おはぎを 食べよう
公園の下 小さなお家
畳に布団しく 雨戸を閉めて
かぶと虫 見つけたよ
かごの中 ゼリー食べよう
珍しい あなたに
出会えて 幸せ
ありがとう ありがとう ありがとう
ありがとう
No chance for goodbye
Cuz when it’s dark you’re in the sunlight
64 hundred miles
A phone call would’ve reached you
Miss you I miss you
Sorry I’m sorry
Miss you I miss you
Sorry I’m sorry

Wow!! This is amazing! The time signature is quite complex while still having a super natural feel with that guitar bossa nova ish pattern. The alternating 7/4 beat refrain and 6/4 verses gives a weightlessness to the song. Like jumping on clouds:)

メロディも歌詞も情景も、全てが琴線に触れてきて初めて聴いたとき涙が止まらなかった。

[@kenseisato1989]

These lyrics hits right in the feels as I just lost my grandma back in March. Some of my most memorable moments In my life were when I was a kid growing up in Japan.
Mei's music is something so soothing and genuine strait from the heart.
So glad I got this on my recommendation.
