about

This song was written while I was travelling in Japan. I had recently lost my Grandfather, who I was very close with. I walked through Nara Park to visit Todaiji Temple, feeling sad and lost, then I opened my eyes to the beauty in the world and felt really grateful that I was alive. Then I wrote this song.

lyrics

Tokidoki

I travelled across the world
to make my dreams come true
there was no malice in my heart but I
I had to do this without you.

Dark wood mixed with incense
raw silk beside a schoolgirl princess
neon lights an indescribable cacophony
on my own I’m much less alone than I used to be
It rained the whole time I was there,
dark shadows, crows ripped through the air
feet soaked it felt like home
and as I walked through the park, I started writing a song

Sometimes it feels like you’re going nowhere fast,
like there’s an ending you can’t see.
みち に まよって います
Could you point me in the right direction?
