Akeboshi – Wind / THE FIRST TAKE
This song has allowed me to meet so many people, to be invited to so many places, and given me experiences I truly treasure Today, I’d like to perform this song in the hope that it reaches those who are working hard and for everyone fighting their own battles Don’t try to live so wise. Don’t cry coz you’re so right. Don’t dry with fakes or fears. Coz you will hate yourself in the end. Don’t try. Don’t cry coz you’re so right. Don’t dry with fakes or fears. Coz you will hate yourself in the end. Cultivate your bunger before you idealize Motivate your anger to make them realize Climbing the mountain. Never coming down? Break in to the contents. Never falling down My knee is still shaking like I was twelve Sneaking out the class room by the back door A man railed at me twice but I didn’t care Waiting is wasting for people like me Don’t try to live so wise. Don’t cry coz you’re so right. Don’t dry with fakes or fears. Coz you will hate yourself in the end. Don’t try to live so wise. Don’t cry coz you’re so right. Don’t dry with fakes or fears. Coz you will hate yourself in the end. You say “dreams are dreams. I ain’t gonna play the fool anymore. You say “coz I still got my soul.” Take your time baby your blood needs to slow down. “Breach your soul.” “Reach yourself before you gloom.” Reflection of fear makes shadows of nothing. Shadows of nothing. You still are blind if you see the winding road Coz there is always a straight way to the point you see Don’t try to live so wise. Don’t cry coz you’re so right. Don’t dry with fakes or fears. Coz you will hate yourself in the end. Don’t try to live so wise. Don’t cry coz you’re so right. Don’t dry with fakes or fears. Coz you will hate yourself in the end. Don’t try to live so wise. Don’t cry coz you’re so right. Don’t dry with fakes or fears. Coz you will hate yourself in the end.
