Live recorded at Prefab Shokudo, Sendai.
Originally Released: 'Bricolage' (2CD-R/Igloo/2010)
ライブ初演は2009年2月28日、仙台 Club Junkbox。確か、そのライブの一ヶ月前に、火星の庭で濱田多聞さんと僕の二人で演ったライブのために書いたのだと思う。そのライブはお互いの曲をベーシストとしてサポートするという画期的な2マンで、濱田さんのベーシストとしてのセンスを買って、このような曲を書いたのだろう。観念的な歌詞をtdsgk君が見事に英訳してくれたが、yumbo向きの曲ではなかったのかもしれない。プレハブ食堂で演奏した時は、曲の最後に会場内の仮設トイレの水を流す音を高柳がマイクで拾っている。
lyrics
The sound of today,
Lazy like a train.
I’m lying on the rail,
Lying on the cold rail,
And singing.
The sound of today,
Bitter like someone’s clinging.
I’m digging the frozen ground,
But don’t mind if it takes all night.
When the morning comes,
I’ll find my portion’s gone.
I’ll poke the unearthed nuclear bomb
With the tip of the shovel.
During Chinese Whispers,
Someone must have made a mistake.
However, I’ll be waiting for
The sound of today
At your back door.
The sound of today,
Goes up a river life a fish,
And sits, prays, and sings in
A circle with a one-meter radius.
When the midnight comes,
All my pieces will be dug up.
I’ll melt my worries slowly
On my tongue.
During the shooting game,
Someone must have shot the ally.
However, I’ll be waiting for
The sound of today
Inside your white frame.
I’m watching today pouring down,
From the inside of this mirror.
My back hurts too much
To move on to the left road again.
The sound of today,
Is heard in someone’s house.
I’m sitting on a toilet seat,
And listening to the sound of today.
