about

This is the closing credits song of the indie movie, "Spindle", scheduled for release in 2013.

From Cailean: "Creating this song was a two-year journey, starting with my idea to write a song that portrays the relationship between the main character of the movie, Cathode, and the city he lives in. The city is represented as a woman trying to convince a reluctant lover to stay. He is tempted, even though he knows her love for him is as destructive as it is intoxicating.

"The Japanese lyrics of the song portray the voice of hope, encouraging him to leave behind the old, while the English lyrics represent the lover's seduction. She is too proud to simply ask him to stay, and even her attempts to convince him reveal her need to consume him completely.

"I was very lucky to meet Machiko, who was willing to tackle the project, but even that was only the first step. Once she understood my concept, we sat down and hammered out the lyrics, which she then set to music. And then came our biggest challenge: finding a band and a recording studio to finish it.

We finally turned to the talents of Anzak Studios in Manila, the Philippines. Edward, the studio's audio engineer and a fantastic musician in his own right, was intrigued by the piece and agreed to help us out and what he did with the music blew us away. Finally, many miles and many months later, here we are! I hope you enjoy it."

lyrics

映画「Spindle」曲「Drug」

ひとすじの光が
ねむりを覚ます
夜明けのとき

空に手をのばして
朝を待ちわびる
闇を超えて陽の光に包まれる街

Ah, don’t say it again
Feel it? This love is wearing thin
Show me your action, I don't need the lie

Hey, come a little closer
Give me everything that is you,
Mmm, all of it, only for me

Tell me your desire
You know I would give you anything
Because you fascinate me

Live and burn, float and sway
Float and sway, burn away

出でよ、太陽 出でよ、太陽

You do what you want to
Well, you know I won't stop you if you're leaving

I am the only drug that satisfies the need inside

おそれずに立ち向かうの

You know once you go away
You can never find your way back to me
I can see the burning, burning driving you insane

No, I don't see tomorrow
Mmm, I don't trust in things no more (no more)
"Now" is my everything

You do what you want to do
You know I won't stop you if you're leaving
I am the only drug that satisfies the need inside

おそれずに立ち向かうの

You know once you go away
You can never find your way back to me
I can see the burning, burning driving you insane

You do what you want to
Well, you know I won't stop you if you're leaving
I am the only drug that satisfies the need inside

You know once you go away
You will never find your way back to me
I can see the burning, burning driving you insane

一人の力がすべてを動かす

生まれくる希望よ
おそれぬ心よ
まるであの頃のように…

終わらない夏
live and burn, float and sway

悲しみのない
live and burn, float and sway
float and sway…

あの夏のように
burn away
