Blue

This song fills me up with everything there is to be filled up with. Everything seems to make sense when I'm in the right mood to listen to this piece of spectacularly gorgeous music. Everything's seems OK. All the hurt and the joy and the strangeness and wonderfulness and just... Everything... It all makes sense. It's a winter song where the chords and harmonies melt together and tug at my heart. I first heard it during the winter of two years ago(it's the ending theme of the final episode of Cowboy Bebop). And I started just listening to it whenever I was on the bus or the tube, taking in view of the wintery landscape outside. There was a lot of snow that winter. The trees were completely covered in frost. Everything everywhere was white. Except for this amazingly pretty, clear, blue sky, which seemed to follow me wherever I went. Today, I got on a train. The weather was foggy and misty. But all of a sudden, the mist disappeared and the scenery opened itself up to me. The world was bright white, and the heavens were bright blue. I gave in to the beauty of this song, leaned close to the window and lost myself in the blue winter sky.

never seen a bluer sky
yeah, I can feel it reaching out
and moving closer
that's something about blue

asked myself what it's all for
and d'you know the funny thing about it?
I couldn't answer
no, I couldn't answer

things have turned a deeper shade of blue
and images that might be real
may be illusion
keep flashing off and on

free
wanna be free
gonna be free
and move among the stars
you know, they really aren't so far
feel so free
gotta know free
please, don't wake me from the dream
it's really everything it seemed

I'm so free
no black and white in the blue

everything is clearer now
life is just a dream, you know
that's never ending
I'm ascending
