ToMoRRoW iS aNoTHeR DaY
トゥモロウ・イズ・アナザー・デイ
© October 2007 ~ February 2009
When you're down and feeling blue
and all seems to come down to you
Though all seems lost and skies are grey
when you've tried all and lost your way
CHORUS:
Tomorrow is another, tomorrow is another, tomorrow is another day.
When nights are long and all is dark
When you feel dull and lost your spark
When answers seem to lead nowhere
You've got no map to take you there
CHORUS:
Tomorrow is another, tomorrow is another, tomorrow is another day.
BRIDGE
When you're down and feeling blue
and all seems to come down to you
When there is nothing more to say
and you've got only one more play
If you are blind and no one cares
to help you down the broken stairs
When deadlines come and times run out,
your confidence has turned to doubt
CHORUS:
Tomorrow is another, tomorrow is another, tomorrow is another day.
12) ToMoRRoW iS aNoTHeR DaY トゥモロウ・イズ・アナザー・デイ © October 2007 ~ February 2009 After a two-year run, the J-OBViOUS (version 2.1) stopped performing in January 2009. From that point on, my creative focus changed from power-pop trio arrangements to seeking out other forms of expression in popular music. By February, I was already dabbling in electronica and considered a possible musical-visual video art performance. I picked out an earlier song demo, inspired by an Autumn trip to Nagoya from two years earlier, and went to work on lyrics to start this new direction. The stopping of live performances is a shock to the system for any artist. There isn't the instant response to your work. There isn't the adrenaline rush and constant physical workout of a performance. You can begin to become dulled by the the isolation of the situation if you aren't careful. In the dark shadow of that early Spring, I decided to musically motivate myself, as I had with "SMiLe", but without the sardonic hard edge of that song. "ToMoRRoW iS aNoTHeR DaY" became a song to relax to. A rest to prepare for the new opportunities which would present themselves tomorrow. The joyful moment of this song is the guitar solo, which I intended to represent the first rays of sunshine breaking over the horizon after a long darkness. This also was an inspiration for this album's title. Sadly, the multi-tracks and mixes for this song were lost in a hard drive crash. This mix was salvaged and restored from a promotional DVD sent to Tokyo Music recording companies in the summer of 2009. This music also welcomed visitors to The OBViOUS website (http://the-obvious.com/) for the time leading up to the release of this album as a sign of things to come.
Started and stopped in 2007... picked up again in 2009, and later finished in 2010 |
12) ToMoRRoW iS aNoTHeR DaY トゥモロウ・イズ・アナザー・デイ © October 2007 ~ February 2009 2年間の活動の後、Japan-OBViOUS(バージョン2.1)は2009年1月に活動を休止しました。その時から、わたしの曲作りの焦点は、パワーポップ・トリオより、ポピュラーミュージックの他の形態に移っていきました。2月までに、すでにエレクトロニック・ミュージックに手を出しており、クラブの雰囲気を持った演奏をすることを考えていました。2年前の秋に名古屋へ旅行に行き、その時ひらめいた曲のデモがあったので、それを取りだして、この新しい方向性に向かうべく、歌詞に着手しました。ライブ活動の休止は、どのアーティストにとっても、創作活動に大きな影響を及ぼします。作品にすぐ反応が返ってくることはありません。アドレナリンが体を巡ることも、ライブで体を酷使することもありません。注意しなければ、孤独感から、感覚が鈍ってくることもあり得るのです。 暗い影が漂っていたその年の早春、「スマイル」でやったように、自分をやる気にさせようと決めました。でも、皮肉っぽい感じは抜きで。そして、「トゥモロウ・イズ・アナザー・デイ」はリラックスできるような曲になりました。明日やってくる新しいチャンスに備えてゆっくり休むような・・・。。この曲の明るい部分は、ギターソロです。長い暗闇が続いた後、地平線から差し込むひと筋の太陽光線を表すように意識しました。悲しいことに、この曲のマルチ・トラックとミックスは、ハード・ドライブの故障でなくなってしまいました。この収録曲は、東京の音楽会社に、2009年夏に送ったプロモーションDVDから拾い出したミックスです。この曲はまた、このアルバムのリリースに向けて、The OBViOUSのホームページ (http://the-obvious.com/)で閲覧者が最初に耳にするようにして、ニュー・アルバムリリースを匂わせるのに使いました。
2007年録音開始・休止。2009年録音再開、2010年完成。 |
