to do: ちっぽけな愛のうた

dedicated to someone i shouldn't be dedicating anything to. haha. sigh.

ちっぽけな愛のうた
小枝理子 & 小笠原秋

いきなり歌い出したり
いきなりキスをしたり
キミにはたくさん
「ごめんね」って
言わなくちゃね

失くしちゃうのが怖くて
嘘ばっかついてしまうボクだけど
でもねキミの前では
本当の自分でいたかったんだ

ボクの存在が
キミの光に影を
落としてしまうとしても
キミの存在は
誰かを照らし
続けていてほしいんだ
ボクがいても
ボクがいなくても
キミはここで輝いて

もっと一緒に笑ったり
もっと泣いたりすれば良かったね
素直な想いに
いまさら気づいているんだ

いつもキミを思っているよ
そこかしこに探しているよ
キミのその声が聴きたいな
今すぐここで

キミの笑顔が
ボクを暗闇から
連れ出してくれたんだ
でもボクの横顔は
キミの笑顔曇らせてしまうんだ
キミがいても
キミがいなくても
ボクはここにいられない

手のひらに掴んだ夢を
今は追い続けていこう
一人でもきっと
越えてゆける
たとえ今は
現実に
縛られて息苦しくても
夜明けは
たしかにやってくる

ボクのこの歌が
キミの背中を
そっと押してくれるといいな
伝えたいこと
何一つ伝えられないボクだから

キミの笑顔が
ボクを暗闇から
連れ出してくれたんだ
いつかボクの笑顔が
キミの笑顔とシンクロするといいな
キミとボクが出会えたこの奇跡
心から感謝しているよ

いつかこの歌キミに届くかな
ちっぽけな愛のうた

musescore!

look what i have just discovered - MuseScore - very good software for writing sheet music - and it's free! i had a similar software once but it didn't have templates and it was a trial version so one could only do a few files and you couldn't do much with it except the most basic things.

i came upon the software because jeddo was looking for sheet music for the song come back home by 片平里奈. since i couldn't find one (and wasn't expecting to considering the song came out only late last year and she's a new artist) i decided writing one would make a good pastime. i worked with what i had for a few minutes, which was a one octave digital keyboard on my phone, which, i assure you, is downright annoying and trying to work with. not to mention one has to write down the notes by hand and have to draw the measures manually. gah.

here's what i've done so far and i think it's quite a good start hihi. the software's really nice, i can do playbacks, set the tempo, export to midi or pdf or png, add all those exotic notations, etc..it's simply fun to work with :) i'm transcribing it for the flute but i added the bass anyway because it sounds better during playback haha. aaand apparently jeddo's flute cannot play anything lower than B3 so i'll have to transpose it at the end, which is a no-brainer because the software has this functionality! cool.

the moon song (karen o)

Soundcloud: the moon song


Intro Dm - G - C


  Dm      G       C
I'm lying on the moon
   Dm          G    C
My dear, I'll be there soon
       Dm     G      C
It's a quiet and starry place
             Dm        G
Time's we're swallowed up
    F                   Fm            C
In space we're here a million miles away


There's things I wish I knew
There's no thing I keep from you
It's a dark and shiny place
But with you my dear
I'm safe and we're a million miles away


We're lying on the moon
It's a perfect afternoon
Your shadow follows me all day
Making sure that I'm okay and
We're a million miles away

perhaps love (john denver)

[Spring Cleaning: Vid2012]

               G                  Bm
Perhaps love is like a resting place
    C                        D
A shelter from the storm
     G                         Am
It exists to give you comfort
     C                 D
It's there to keep you warm
    Em                 Bm
And in those times of trouble
     C              D
When you are most alone
    C         D                             G      Gsus4
The memory of love will bring you home
        G              Bm
Perhaps love is like a window
 C                D
Perhaps an open door
     G                Am
It invites you to come closer
     C                 D
It wants to show you more
    Em                 Bm
And even if you lose yourself
     C              D
And don't know what to do
    C         D                   G
The memory of love will see you through

        Bm              Em
   Oh ! Love to some is like a cloud
      C                D            G
   To some as strong as steel
       Bm            Em
   For some a way of living
       C            D           G
   For some a way to feel
       Bm                Em
   And some say love is holding on
       C                 G
   And some say letting go
       Bm                         Em
   And some say love is everything
   C                              D
   Some say they don't know
G                  Bm
Perhaps love is like the ocean
C                                     D
Full of conflicts, full of pain
G                               Bm
Like a fire when it's cold outside
 C                         D
Thunder when it rains
    Em                    Bm
If I should live forever
       C                             D
And all my dreams come true
      C              D                       G
My memory of love will be of you

上を向いて歩こう (坂本九)

Soundcloud: 上を向いて歩こう

上を向いて歩こう
涙がこぼれないように
思い出す春の日
一人ぼっちの夜

上を向いて歩こう
にじんだ星を数えて
思い出す夏の日
一人ぼっちの夜

幸せは雲の上に
幸せは空の上に

上を向いて歩こう
涙がこぼれないように
泣きながら歩く
一人ぼっちの夜

「口笛を吹いている」

思い出す秋の日　
一人ぼっちの夜

悲しみは月のかげに
悲しみは星のかげに

上を向いて歩こう
涙がこぼれないように
泣きながら歩く
一人ぽっちの夜
一人ぽっちの夜

三月九日

Soundcloud: 3月9日

流れる季節の真ん中で
ふと日の長さを感じます
せわしく過ぎる日々の中に
私とあなたで夢を描く

3月の風に想いをのせて
桜のつぼみは春へとつづきます

溢れ出す光の粒が
少しずつ朝を暖めます
大きなあくびをした後に
少し照れてるあなたの横で

新たな世界の入口に立ち
気づいたことは 1人じゃないってこと

※瞳を閉じれば あなたが
まぶたのうらに いることで
どれほど強くなれたでしょう
あなたにとって私も そうでありたい※

砂ぼこり運ぶ つむじ風
洗濯物に絡まりますが
昼前の空の白い月は
なんだかきれいで 見とれました

上手くはいかぬこともあるけれど
天を仰げば それさえ小さくて

青い空は凛と澄んで
羊雲は静かに揺れる
花咲くを待つ喜びを
分かち合えるのであれば それは幸せ

この先も 隣で そっと微笑んで

Near or Far (Carissa Rae)

Souncloud: Near or Far

I'm here, you're there
But your love is with me everywhere I go
This I know
I'm near, you're far
Driving away in your little car
But my love will follow you everywhere

Best believe I'll make mistakes
But love won't stop, it has no breaks

Strong is what we are whenever we're apart
I'll be right where you are, I'm in your heart
So don't you worry about a thing, or all the miles in between
You have my heart, you had it from the start
I love you from afar...

I hear them say
That what we have may fade away but I refuse
We'll never lose
They say
It's a case of the honeymoon phase but I just smile
Cause I know this will last a while

Understand you'll make mistakes
But love won't stop, it has no breaks

Strong is what we are whenever we're apart
I'll be right where you are, I'm in your heart
So don't you worry about a thing, or all the miles in between
You have my heart, you had it from the start
I love you from afar or near
And everywhere I know that you will still be there
Deep inside my heart...
Inside my heart...

Strong is what we are whenever we're apart
I'll be right where you are, I'm in your heart
So don't you worry about a thing or all the miles in between
You have my heart, you had it from the start
I love you from afar

skinny love

Soundcloud: Skinny Love

Come on skinny love, just last the year
Pour a little salt, we were never here
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Staring at the sink of blood and crushed veneer

I told my love to wreck it all
Cut out all the ropes and let me fall
My, my, my,
my, my, my,
my, my, my, my,
Right at the moment this order's tall

And I told you to be patient
And I told you to be fine
And I told you to be balanced
And I told you to be kind

And in the morning, I'll be with you
But it will be a different kind
'Cause I'll be holding all the tickets
And you'll be owning all the fines

Come on skinny love, what happened here?
Suckle on the hope in light brassiere
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Sullen load is full, so slow on the split

And I told you to be patient
And I told you to be fine
And I told you to be balanced
And I told you to be kind

And now all your love is wasted
Then who the hell was I?
'Cause now I'm breaking at the bridges
And at the end of all your lines

Who will love you?
Who will fight?
Who will fall far behind?

Come on skinny love
My, my, my,
my, my, my,
my, my, my, my,
My, my, my,
my, my, my,
my, my, my, my.

the way i am

i can actually feel the cold crack my voice :))

Soundcloud: The Way I Am

If you were falling, then I would catch you
You need a light, I'd find a match
'Cause I love the way you say good morning
And you take me the way I am

If you are chilly, here take my sweater
Your head is aching, I'll make it better
'Cause I love the way you call me, baby
And you take me the way I am

I'd buy you Rogaine when you start losing all your hair
Sew on patches to all you tear
'Cause I love you more than I could ever promise
And you take me the way I am

You take me the way I am, you take me the way I am

　じりきでみつけようかみさま

晴れて望み通り投げたボールが
はれてのぞみどおりなげたびーるが
向こう岸に届いた
むこうぎしにとどいた
いつも　もらいあくびした後で
いつももらいあくびしたあとで
涙目　茜空
なみだめあかねそら
悲しい話は　消えないけれど
もっと輝く明日！！

恥ずかしくても　まるでダメでも
はずかしくてもまるでだめでも

かっこつけて行く
アイニージュー
いつか　つまづいた時には
横にいるから　ふらつきながら
よこにいるから
二人で見つけよう

　G　　 D　　 G　　　 D
神様　神様　神様　君となら…
　　G　　　　 D　　　　 G
このまま　このまま　このまま
　　Bm A
君となら…
