Big fan of Takenobu since my college days. Somehow missed the release of this wonderful new album and only just started listening this week. "Conclusive" is perhaps my favorite instrumental track of all albums. It's so beautiful it makes me cry. Can't stop listening on repeat.
Swaying Trees is my second favorite, so sweet! Nobody Said is pretty great too.I hope the titel of this album is not indicative of being the last album we'll ever get. Favorite track: Conclusive.

Nobody Said

Lookin' back, I’ve been
Lookin' back to
All the times
That we had
It wasn't so bad
It wasn't half-bad
The moments, when we
Had a chance to
Slow it down and really get our heads
Wrapped around each other, oh
You know me so well
You know me so well
Nobody said it'd be easy
Nobody said it would be
Ganbaru ga muzukashii
iro iro na inshii
Nobody said it'd be easy
Nobody said it would be
Holdin' on, I keep
Holdin' on to
All the things that you said to me
In the small hours of the morning
Your words were such comfort
Your words were such a comfort
I guess you knew
What I know now, oh
You can't just hide away
Savin' your troubles for the day
When you feel like facin' 'em
'Cause I'm not gonna feel like facin' 'em
Nobody said it'd be easy
Nobody said it would be
Ganbaru ga muzukashii
Iro iro na inshii
Nobody said it'd be easy
Nobody said it would be
Way back when, when we
We used to know
All the things that really mattered and
Counted to you
I wanna get that back now
I wanna get that back
Nobody said it'd be easy
Nobody said it would be
Ganbaru ga muzukashii
Iro iro na inshii
Nobody said it'd be easy
Nobody said it would be

You fight to make it up
Look the other way
Heart in hand you hold
Tear a year away
Have to hold
Leaves you cold
Makes you grow
Takes its toll
You fight to make it up
Look the other way
Heart in hand you hold
Tear a year away
Have to hold
Leaves you cold
Makes you grow
Takes its toll
Have to hold
Leaves you cold
You would know it
You would know it
You would know it
You would know it
You would know it
You would know it
Fight to make it up
Fight to make it up
Fight to make
Fight to make
It up

You fight to make it up
Look the other way
Heart in hand you hold
Tear a year away
Have to hold
Leaves you cold
Makes you grow
Takes its toll
Fight to make

Fight to make
It up

Glorious Harmonious

Come on, let me tell you about how we used to do it
In the olden days
Come on, let me tell you about
All the forgotten ways
I remember the feeling, it took me over
So glorious
Every fiber of my being was vibrating
Harmonious
There's nothing that's written anywhere that says I can't feel that way
Again today
There's nothing written anywhere that says I can't make it
My own way
Yeah, but it seems to get harder
Yeah, but it seems to get harder
Yeah, but it seems to get harder
Yeah, well I seem to get harder
Sometimes I tell myself it used to be
So much easier
But then again there's no use to fall
So much deeper
I'm not gonna tell you the grass
Is always greener
You can see that for yourself by becoming
A believer
And I fool myself
Yeah, I like to fool myself
And I fool myself
Yeah, I like to fool myself

Gami Gami you lecture me
Kusu kusu I laugh quietly
Isogashii I’m so busy
Mera Mera you burn brightly
pika pika you burn so bright
pika pika mirarenai
akuseku I’m out of time
moya moya shimpai shinai
sou shou ga nai nee
shikata ga nai nee
konkon sensen kikoeru
konkon sensen kikoeru
hara hara bara bara sara sara
bora bora goba goba
goro goro goro goro
kawa wa shinpai shinai deshou
so why would you worry so?

Swaying Trees
04:28
|

|
The water winds its way
wanting somewhere else
with no sense of self
sings its babbling song
The mountain pack is gone
with spring and summer sun
the snow melt will run
over wintered moss
(chorus)
The branches far from bare
the pollen in the air
the potent love affair of the swaying trees
the swaying trees
The coldness in the earth
will warm as a hearth
as the blossoms burst
like pastel fireworks
A fairy ring will grow
in the spot we know
where the wolves won’t go
where the lambs will sleep
(chorus)
The branches far from bare
the pollen in the air
the potent love affair of the swaying trees
the swaying trees
The thrasher in the leaves
the thrushes in the trees
the competition breeds
such a symphony
The season may be brief
for growth after the grief
the green is such relief
from the winter gray
As for you and me
well we’ll just have to see
only time will tell
what the harvest brings to eat
(chorus)
The branches far from bare
the pollen in the air
the potent love affair of the swaying trees
the swaying trees

Midnight Bloom
04:45
|
|||
|
Could one moment outshine years of history
could it last and repeat and spin
and it grows wider stretches beyond everything
like a crack that opens a chasm yawning
take this coin and make a wish
don’t tell me about the abyss
A fallen leaf that has caught the air
swirling up without a care
I would skip across the surface of a lake
and all the ripples would expand and spread
caught in waters of a reflecting pool
Keeping calm, keeping on, keeping cool
I’m tossing and turning
Just let me turn in
the brightest spot is in my eyes
I wander out to watch the cold moonrise
I’d look away to the growing gloom
But I caught I caught a glimpse of a midnight bloom
And I will walk on desert sands without no shoes
and I will keep the calm when mirages come to view
Holy water cannot wash away the pains
Where’s the easy smile I saw upon your face?
I’m tired and useless
How could I lose it?
All in a minute
Let me forget it

Dark in the City
03:43
|
|||
|
It’s dark in the city
Dark in the city
And it’s all your own
All your own
Gone to the country
I’m gone to the country
To take a rest
Take a rest
Choice is yours
Take the cure
The choice is yours
So hold on, hold on
Here in the loam
Here I’m at peace
Here they’ll never know
Tears never reach
Lone when I came to you
Lone when you came to me too
What a coup
But you knew
Half of what I want
Half is in the hunt
Bag ‘em all
Bag ‘em all
What you find
That is mine
What you find
You hold on, hold on
Here in the loam
Here I’m at peace
Here they’ll never know
Tears never reach
No they don’t owe you
No they don’t owe you
