looking through the window
do you see the world below?
if the ocean could go on and on and on tonight
then time would let us go
looking through the window
at the shadows we call “home”
the city shines and you and i both know
it’s never been this beautiful
there’s a healthy fascination
for the world we left behind
‘til your reflection shows
the thing you need the most
this space will be our life…
you’re already beautiful
so don’t you dare change for me
this is the space between
love and learning to breathe

do you remember how it feels
to hold the world inside your hands?
it’s all i want to talk about
do you remember what it’s like
to be the one who understands?
i tried so hard to figure out
how it’s finally me who’s losing sleep
and it’s finally you who’s breaking down
it’s all i want to talk about…
tell me what it’s like to be free
tell me why you’re on your knees
you always wanted to be invincible
tell me what it’s like unafraid
tell me why you had to go away
you always wanted to be the one
with your arms around the world
do you remember what it’s like
to be the one who’s always right?
it’s all i want to talk about
i don’t understand how you can say
this is the life you had in mind
i’m facing you with all my doubt
‘cause it’s finally me who’s losing sleep
and it’s finally you who’s breaking down
it’s all i want to talk about…
chorus
you carry me until you’re home again
and let everything change
‘cause i don’t want to come back this way…
chorus
it’s finally me who’s losing sleep
and it’s finally you who’s breaking down

tell me one more time
how the dark is just a dream
we stole from the light
the trembling holds me here
though i always tried so hard to disappear…
you expose me slowly
the temple thief is just outside the door
you’re laughing at eternity
far beyond this frozen world
the highest tide begins to rise
inside your violet eyes
the beauty passes then returns
a halcyon beyond the world
as the moments all dissolve
enfolded in our hopes
these paper cranes and aeroplanes will guide us home…
chorus
we are chasing starlight
all along this stolen night
so unfold your hopes
you don’t need defenses anymore
anymore
we are chasing starlight
all along this stolen night
so unfold your hopes
enfold me in your arms

the final embers start to crack
this fire in the sand
doesn’t change anything
what made us think that we
could be all that we want to be?
those hearts in the sand were just a dream…
the summer breaks
and like an ocean wave my world is crashing in
the evening tide
reminds me of that night
when i first breathed you in
the summer breaks
i can’t escape
the evening glow is just a spell
we thought that we could somehow outrun ourselves
i just want to go
where the darkness would leave us alone
run and hide
hide and seek
just you and me…
chorus
you can’t take back
the fact that you won’t come back
can you?
can you?
chorus
you’re three years and a day too late
i’ve watched too many seasons change
you’re three years and a day too late
i’ve watched too many summers break
with or without you
the summer breaks

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."
