lyrics
それは大抵知らないところで始まって
いつも僕の知らないところで終わってる
偶然生まれた場所で 偶然殺しあい
偶然生まれた場所で 偶然愛しあう
こどもの頃にみた SF映画の古くさい未来よりも
輝かしくはなくても 君がいる明日へと舵をきる
君の未来が 幸せならいい
痛みや悲しみが ひとつもなければいい
僕らは遠い昔 ばらばらに散らばって
今さらもう誰かが何を望んでも ひとつには戻れないよ
天を呪ってしまうことばかり
終わりの時を俟つ 不遇な人の群れ
こんな世界など 壊れてしまえばいい？
こども騙しみたいな 祈りじゃ届かないな
愛で満ちた世界に 憎しみをみつけることも
憎しみで満ちた世界に 愛をみつけることも
どれがヒーローか 僕にはわからない
無邪気な虚構すら 虚構でいられない
不完全な世界の 言葉を交わしたい
闇を照らしだす 光であればいい
It often begins without notice
And always ends before I find out
Born here by chance we may kill each other
Born here by chance we may love each other
Even if it's not as bright
As the old-fashioned futures
In those Sci-Fi movies I saw as a kid
I'll choose the future that leads to you
I only want your days to be happy
And to be without any pain and sorrow
Long ago we were torn apart
And no matter what anyone hopes for
We'll never be whole again
The heavens are cursed and fates bemoaned,
By those misfortunate who long for judgment
A world like this, is it better that it falls apart?
Such a foolish prayer won't amount to anything
To find hate in a world full of love
To find love in a world full of hate
I'm not sure which way to live by
Even an innocent fantasy cannot remain a fantasy
I hope to speak with the words of this imperfect world
And to let it be the light that shine through the darkness

I have been listening to this album on repeat for almost 2 months now and it makes me emotional for some reason. Just really great music.

Little Piece of Hair
by Century EggMore bright, upbeat rippers from Canadian rockers Century Egg, splitting the difference between garage rock scuzz and noise pop sugar.

Below OST - Volume II
by Jim GuthrieMore music from Jim Guthrie’s acclaimed score for “Below,” “Vol. II” is another batch of absorbing, synth-driven worldbuilding.

This is an absolute gem of an album--a beautiful, magical work of electronica that invokes fantastical imagery and fills the listener with feelings of wonder, joy, serenity, and awe. Each song is intricate and intoxicating with its own distinct sound, so much so that they could likely all be sold successfully as individual singles. Picking a favorite from them was quite a challenge. In any case, it's easily some of the best music I've ever heard. I can't recommend it strongly enough.
