Rainbow Connection

一体どうしたことか。
今日はこの曲がオレの心のツボをグイグイと押す。
ヤバい、泣きそう。くらいに。
どんどん音楽が消費されてる時代。手軽にダウンロードできたりコピーされたり版権無視してネット流出したり。一昔前は、もっと音楽って大切なモンだった気がする。好きなアーティストの新譜発売日には学校休んでレコード屋へ自転車飛ばして買いに行ったり。手垢にまみれるくらい歌詞カード読んだり。ホントに大好きな音楽って、そうやって夢中になって手に入れてたような気がする。大事にしなきゃイカンよ、ホントに大切なモンは。
　
【 Rainbow Connection 】
written by Paul Williams and Kenneth Ascher
　
Why are there so many songs about rainbows
and what's on the other side?
Rainbows are visions, but only illusions,
and rainbows have nothing to hide.
So we've been told and some choose to believe it.
I know they're wrong, wait and see.
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
the lovers, the dreamers and me.
　
Who said that every wish would be heard and answered
when wished on the morning star?
Somebody thought of that
and someone believed it,
and look what it's done so far.
What's so amazing that keeps us stargazing?
And what do we think we might see?
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
the lovers, the dreamers and me.
　
All of us under its spell,
we know that it's probably magic....
　
Have you been half asleep
and have you heard voices?
I've heard them calling my name.
Is this the sweet sound that calls the young sailors?
The voice might be one and the same.
I've heard it too many times to ignore it.
It's something that I'm supposed to be.
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
the lovers, the dreamers and me.
La, la la, La, la la la, La Laa, la la, La, La la laaaaaaa
