Sparkle
Song: Sparkle
Artist: RADWIMPS
This song is from the film Your Name. It's an anime movie. My brother loves anime! We watched it with him a few weeks ago. It was....interesting. There is definitely a big plot-twist near the end! Even though it's not really my type of movie, it was fun to watch it with my brother and sister.
I've actually really been enjoying this song today. I've listened to it several times. It's rather long, but I love some of the lyrics. They seem applicable to me somehow. The song grows on you and.....I don't know. There's just something about it that makes me keep coming back and listening to it again and again. Maybe someday I'll figure out why. The beginning is really beautiful; from the piano to the words, it's just....magical! The chorus is really beautiful too!
Even the second, hour hands of the clock
They look at us sideways as they tick and tock
How I hope to have forever to spend
This life, no—all future lives
Right here in this world with you
Let's put away them far ahead
"How do you do"s and all the "Nice to meet you"s
And breathe over a thousand-year cycle in a single day
How I hated lifeless world
That's made up entirely of dictionary word that
I saw through my kaleidoscope
On a monotonous August morn'
When you appeared in front of me
You acted shy but I didn't miss your grinning face like
If it's the textbook of this world
Of how to make your smile on your face
I've been looking for "incredible"s, the meaning of "unbelievable"
I even hope for tragedies if it goes with the thrill
But when you were standing in front of my door
With every piece in your hand that I could ask for
Words like "tomorrow" or "future" or "fate"
No matter how far they extend their hands
Let's breathe, and dream, we play together in this place
What do you say?
Even the way that you loved
I swear I could smell the scent of yours
And in the way that you walked
I could hear that bright laughter of yours
Since one day you will disappear
I'll keep every part of you
Make sure that it's burned into the back of my eyes
It's not a right that I'm due
My duty that is must have been kept
Words like "tomorrow" or "future" or "fate"
No matter how far they extend their hands
We breathe, we dream, we raise our love
In a timeless land that is far out of reach
Even the second, hour hands of the clock
They look at us sideways as they tick and tock
How I hope to have forever to spend
This life, no—all future lives
Right here in this world with you

I found this cover a couple of days ago on youtube. For some reason, the lyrics are a little different from the original version (well, at least from the one I have posted above). I actually think I like these lyrics a little bit better though. They make more sense to me and are more positive and even romantic :) This girls voice really fits the song too, I like it!
Caught in a never-ending game
Seems like the world is still trying to tame me
But I go on my chosen way
Beautifully struggling everyday
With both of our hourglasses low
I want to kiss you ‘til the sand’s finishing flowing
Come on, let’s make a plan to meet somewhere that’s
As far from “goodbye” as we can go
Oh, how I hated that lifeless world
Made up entirely of dictionary words that
I saw through my kaleidoscope
On a monotonous August morn
When you appeared in front of me
You acted shy at times, and others you’d be cool
Smiling a textbook smile at me
To mask your pain so perfectly
Finally now the time has tolled
Everything up ‘til yesterday was a prologue
You can just skim through the days of old
It’s my turn to bear the load
With my experience and skill
And all the courage I had let start to mildew
At an unprecedented speed I will
Dive after you into waters unstill
And when I dozed off into a lukewarm can of soda I
Dreamed of a world so far from here, a different time
Waiting outside of the classroom window
One summer morning aboard a train that swayed me to and fro
Oh, in the way that you loved
I swear I could smell that scent of yours
And in the way that you walked
I could hear that bright laughter of yours
And I know that one day you’ll disappear
So I’ll keep each part of you
Burned into the back of my eyes so you’re always here
It’s not a right that I’m due
No, darling, it’s my duty to you
We’ll fall in love in a timeless land
Where no matter how far we extend our hands
Words like “tomorrow” or “future” or “fate”
Lie far out of reach for as long as we stay
As we look sideways at the hands of the clock
They’ll look right back at us as they tick and tock
How I hope to have forever to spend
This life, no – all future lives
Right here in this world with you

Caught in a never-ending game
Seems like the world's still trying to tame me
If that's the way, I will obey
Beautifully struggle every day
Should we have a little kiss
While seeing both of our hourglasses
Let's make a plan to meet somewhere that is
Most far from "goodbye"
Finally, the time has come
Everything up 'til yesterday was a prologue
Skimming through the days of old
It's my turn to bear the load
My experience and my skill
And all the courage I had let start to mildew
At an unprecedented speed, I will
Dive right into you
And when I dozed off into a lukewarm can of soda, I
Dreamed of a world so far from here that's not on the map
Searching outside of the classroom window
Or in a summer morning that's brought from the commuting train
Words like "tomorrow" or "future" or "fate"
No matter how far they extend their hands
We breathe, we dream, we raise our love
In a timeless land that is far out of reach
Seems like the world's still trying to tame me
If that's the way, I will obey
Beautifully struggle every day
Should we have a little kiss
While seeing both of our hourglasses
Let's make a plan to meet somewhere that is
Most far from "goodbye"

Everything up 'til yesterday was a prologue
Skimming through the days of old
