I Want to Go to Enoshima

はるかな夕べ 作詞・作曲/岩瀬敬吾

何故昨日さえも憶えていないんだろう
何故不安な日は凍えてしまいそう
何故動けないと思ってしまうの
何ひとつ成し遂げられていないの
重ねてゆく中に思い出してしまったんだ

はるかな夕べ 動き出す列車は響き合い掛けのぼった
憧れはもう夢から覚めて何処かへと消えた
あれは確か君と見ていて綺麗だった

上手くやり直す事ばかり願った
今僕はひどくこじれてしまった
隠し続けるのはひどく胸を締め付ける

はるかな夕べ 動き出す列車の窓に立って眺めた
街並は揺れ遠い日差しが包んで溶かして行く
君の頬を黄色に染め綺麗だった

唱えた事がまるで指に止まる日
疑う事もなく来たんだと思う
空に似た

はるかな夕べ 動き出す列車は響き合い掛けのぼった
憧れはもう夢から覚めて何処かへと消えた
あれは確か君と見ていて綺麗だった


It's one of my favorite songs. It is writeen when Keigo went to Enoshima. He made it while he was in the jolting train which was called 'Enoden'.

I've heard that I can see pretty sunset in Enoshima. Since I listened to this song at live concert of Keigo at first, I've kept thinking of visiting Enoshima. I want to feel the scenes that are pictured in this song. This song has an atmosphere that is sad, mild, and warm.

I like the contrast of sunset. Especially sunset of summer. The orange and yellow light is so strong and makes silhouettes of things hard to see, but on the other hand, it makes very dark and long shadows too.

When I'm listening to this song, I always imagine a coach that is filled with orange light of sunset, and also the look of stores and houses on a street I can see from the windows, that are also hined by the sunset and making long dark shadows. I wanna experience the world that is filled with orange, yellow, and dark colour with the song at Enoshima someday.

The evening in the dinstance, I stood by the window of a pulling out train and gazed at it.
The rows of houses shook are been engulfing and melting by far off sunlight.
It dyed your cheeks yellow, and that was pretty.

The evening in the dinstance, the pulling out train echoed and I run up.
The longing already came out of a dream and dissapared somewhere.
I surely saw it with you and it was pretty.

江の島... eh?! I hear it's home to sea sports; it's like paradise for surfers apparently. Anyhow, I'd rather go there for nature, lots of 'rare' animals I hear :). Ah, also, it's possible to see the classical view of Mt. Fuji, as depicted in Japanese art ne. Moreover, I'd love to try shirasu-don - a famous dish down there. <3~

PS: I must admit the scenery is awesome. ^_^

Thank you for the comment. I thought I failed after the exam, however, when I marked by myself, I noticed that maybe I would pass. :P
