Be Still
03:51
|
|||
|
you float up to the surface of another broken dream
the threshing floor inside your heart
and as the past collides with all the things we tried to be
we feel the weight of all we are...
[chorus]
so be still, be still
just lay your hand in mine
these shadows pass in time
be still, my love
when this hope is all we have
let that be enough
a sordid hallelujah rises from the churchyard
an echo chamber in your mind
but all those saints and angels can’t explain your broken heart
so darling, leave it all behind…
chorus
sometimes we have to trust ourselves instead
where even angels fear to tread…

Paper Lanterns
04:13
|
|||
|
standing at the water’s edge
every breath hides all the quiet hopes
we’re too afraid to speak
maybe all these candles have something more to say
a thousand golden sparks reflected underneath…
[chorus]
i want to know you more
would you let me in your eyes?
i want to touch your heart
dear life, this time
don’t let me pass you by
we could watch our cares all float away
like paper lanterns drifting out to sea
so light up, light up
as a flock of sighs and stars
burns beneath our feet…
chorus
i will take the dead we raised with me
wherever i will go
i will take this breath
and make it all i know…
chorus
you remind me once again
how we are infinite

welcome to the night
you break me with your eyes
a thousand other nights
never could deny
love is the thing this time
just a simple glance
just your hand within my hand
a thousand other dreams
don’t mean anything
now that you’re here with me…
if nothing else i’ve ever said was true
i hope you know i’d die for you
the world can have their means
you’re the only thing i need
a thousand other suns
could shine for everyone
you are my kingdom come…
if nothing else i’ve ever said was true
i hope you know i’d die for you
even if they don’t understand
your kingdom is at hand
if the one thing that we have
is the one thing they can’t take away
we’ll be okay
we’ll be okay

the Fade
05:35
|
|||
|
the moon is rising over Tokyo
now “home” is just a name
these shadows follow everywhere we go
but we remain…
[chorus]
all i want is all you need
as everything fades away
all we see could disappear
but all we are will remain
with cherry blossoms falling in the wind
slowly, love
why don’t you slow your heart?
nothing really matters in the end
but who we are…

I recently discovered this masterpiece by Wintory, which nearly rivals his earlier Journey soundtrack. Another gorgeous, intricate body of work.

Winter's End (I am Setsuna) [Original Soundtrack Collection]
by Tomoki Miyoshi
Tomoki Miyoshi accomplishes more with just a piano than many full orchestras do. Absolutely lovely.

Living Room Songs
by Ólafur Arnalds
Olafur is one of my biggest inspirations. Stunning, complex work. From this album, a particular standout is "Near Light."
