時の向こう 風の街へ ねえ、連れて行って

Deep rich vocal. A very beautiful song. 


風の街へ (Kaze no Machi he)
by FictionJunction KEIKO


時の向こう 風の街へ ねえ、連れて行って
Take me away across time to the town of wind
白い花の夢かなえて
Grant my dream of the white flowers


甘い指でこの手をとり ねえ、遠い道を
Take me by this hand with your gentle fingers, to a far-away place
導いて欲しいの 貴方の側へ
I want you to guide me, to be by your side


その歌声絶えない昼下がり
On this afternoon, though their voices is neverending
目覚めて二人は一つになり
Two lovers awake to become one
幸せの意味を初めて知るのでしょう
For the first time, they learn the meaning of happiness
連れて行って…
Take me away...


その歌声切なく高らかに
With a painful, echoing voice,
全ての心に響くのでしょう
They sing out with all of their hearts
幸せの意味を知らずに眠る夜に...
Without knowing the meaning of happiness, sleeping in the darkness...


まだ知らない夢の向こう ねえ、遠い道を
Take me to a dream I've never seen before, far away
二人で行けるわ… 風の街へ 
We'll go together... to the town of wind.

Lyric so simple yet it's tasteful. First heard it in Tsubasa Chronicle Season 1. It's an insert song.

Judgement Day

There is a belief which goes around saying when people die, they will face the Judgement Day, where God will evaluate your life and thus judge upon where will you go afterwards. 

But really, what should be the criterion for Judgement Day when someone dies? 

Should it be achievements? Or the number of lives saved? Or influences? Or the way him or her fulfilled life? If so, what is the definition of "fulfilling"? 

Each of us are born equal, however, brought-ups are quite important in influencing how will a person act later in life. It is possible to change that magnitude of influence and if you did, you could be one of the few people in this world who managed to do so. So naturally I guess, when you have good brought-ups you tend to be living life on the positive side, and vice versa. 

Being an introvert I'm not only people-repelling but I'm also quite eccentric. Not to mention lately I'm beginning to do things at my own pace and I'm beginning to wonder what on earth has got to me and although consciously I'm telling myself something has got to change before I hit something really hard but somehow I just keep going at it. But there's one thing I won't stop doing, that is to question, to think, criticize, and to decide my standing on the matter. 

Back to the topic. When Judgement Day comes to me, I have no idea what of me will be judged. My achievements are nil, number of lives saved nil, influences I have no idea, but probably not that great since I'm a pretty on-the-fence kinda person, and fulfilled life? Not much either since like I said, I do things my own way, at my own pace, in my own accordance, whenever I can help it. It's kinda sad and I wonder will God be really having a hard time trying to place me, or hey, will I be wandering on this earth like how Meg in Eoin Colfer's "The Wish List", until I do something which can decide where shall I go? 

Not that I'm regretting that my life isn't much of a sparkling and glittery one. I'm just being myself, living a life which I'm contented to be living. Is that wrong?

Oh...shit

Sorry for the cursing, especially when I haven't been updating my blog for a considerably long period of time. 

Anyway, I think I just might have seriously fall for someone. 

If not I really cannot explain how, after so long since I've felt something like this, my heart actually got pierced by this weird flying feeling, when I saw this fella. You know, the kind of feeling you do when you're in a free-fall, like, in a really scary roller coaster or something? Yeah, that kind. 

And no, I wasn't playing roller coaster that time, I was just simply walking. 

And besides, I THOUGHT he already LEFT!!! WTF is he doing there when I thought my chances of encountering him is already NIL for the day? 

No, God just loves playing pranks with me. Keep on letting me bumping into him when I LEAST expect it, and have all kinds of coincidence I could never think of, such as getting a pair of matching cards in a stupid fate game, or wearing the same kind of stupid white shirt like today (you know, the kind of shirt where it says "I Love xxxxxx"), or liking the same stupid movies, or the way we smile slightly to each other and says "hi" STUPIDLY and not knowing what to do afterwards except to be dragged by our other friends, never letting ourselves to properly chat together. 

There, I've said it. 

Dear God, please let me know what is it that You intend to let this be? 

Why did You let us meet, but no chance to talk to each other?
Why did You let us be in a room, but no chance of being together?
Why did You let us know each other, but no chance of knowing deeper? 

Anyway, those are just my very spontaneous thoughts of the moment. I'd probably find that fella very boring the next day. 

Maybe. 

I mean, people change, right?? 

So I'll just sit and wait and let this blows over and I'll forget about this one like all the rest and have my peaceful days again. 

And besides, love is so overrated. Pfft. 

Yvonne..

P.S. I wonder if I'll be in the same class as him again next sem?
