(In English is the upper, in Japanese is the lower.)

This song was newly written. Some verse had been created in this November. The assembly of verses was done in this December and the lyric was written in this December also.

As I had suspected during the writing process, I found that this song had been a kind of new for me. I have not written this type of the song like this since I started to write songs. So, at first, I had no idea about what rhythm patterns of drums should be applied to this song. Normal 8 beats or 4 beats seemed not to fit to this song. I was about to push this song into my stock one time.

But I got a brain wave if I could create some drum rhythm patterns as like Keith Moon. Then I decided to try it. I had to rework rhythm patterns several times but completed them as the recorded shape finally. Once the drum rhythm track was completed, the rest of works had been processed smoothly.

The lyric is below.

‘Cause You’re So Young As A Daughter

The first time I met you who was just right a new comer
The sheer pureness of your eyes has vacillated me so far

Softness your voice has made me to hear it forever
Kindness your way to be takes me the forgotten star

‘Cause you’re so young as a daughter of mine whom I never had
Just like a deep rift in earth in the age of Ymir
As if too splendrous to see it clear
Your brightness makes me emptier
‘Cause you’re so young as a daughter of mine whom I never had

Your hard work way
You are a native sage
Your passion ’n’ honesty
Grip on regardless of age

Warmth of your smile is hard to be resisted
Look away your shape biting a piece of cake by my fist

‘Cause you’re so young as a daughter of mine whom I never had
Thanks to the recent wearing the mask way hides your prettiness
It helps me to break my eyes
Prepends me from hanging your side
‘Cause You’re so young as a daughter of mine whom I never had

Yes you are the savior light as I was going to insane
Yes you are the savior light as I am about to dive
Just you are the savior light as I barely keep my sane
Just you are the savior light would push me back to my vibe

All I can do for you is to pray keep your smile on your face
All I can do for you is to pray keep golden flames

 この曲は新しく書いたものです。この11月中に個別のリフや各パターンのコード進行などは作りました。12月になって、各パターンを曲として構成し、歌詞も書きました。

 作っている最中から薄々気がついてはいたのですが、この曲は私にとって、ちょっと新しい曲調を持っていました。似たようなタイプの曲を、今まで書いたことがありません。そのせいでしょう、最初この曲にはどんなドラム・パターンがフィットするのか、何も思いつきませんでした。普通の8ビートや4ビートはこの曲には合わないように思えましたし、この曲は一度ボツにした方が良いかも、とすら思いました。

 ふと、この曲にキース・ムーンのようなドラム・パターンを合わせられないだろうか、と思いつき、やってみることにしました。何度もドラム・パターンを作り直さなくてはいけませんでしたが、どうにか録音されたものに落ち着きました。ドラム・トラックが出来てしまえば、残りの工程は順調に進みました。

 歌詞、クレジットともに上述してあります。
