Music I love

I discovered one of my favourite artists and composers through watching anime ( in particular the series Cowboy Bebop ). While reading throught the credits I realized that all the music from the series was original and had been composed by one person namely Yoko Kanno . Subsequently I've been googling and youtubing and downloading and all that jazz to find out more about her and her music.

Here are the lyrics for one of my favourite songs which comes from the original soundtrack of the Cowboy Bebop movie. (Eventually I will learn how to put music on this site). The lyrics were taken from www.stlyrics.com

Artist: Yoko Kanno
Song: No Reply
Lyrics: Tim Jensen

Like the perfect ending, It won't be long,
Till everything I've ruined has seen me gone,
In time, I pray you'll forgive,
Now you know the man I am, Can you forgive me?

I fall, Like the sands of time,
Like some broken rhyme, At feet no longer there.

If only I could call the rain to melt and wash away the pain you feel
I would
You gave yourself to me and showed me what the truth could be
For that, I say thank you
This was my life
It never made much sense to me...

With every lie that I lived, Part of me would fade,
Into this empty shadow I've become, And now I feel so numb,
I no longer know myself, But I still know you.

I call, And there is no reply,
Like some phantom cry, On ears too far away,

I close my eyes and watch as my life passes by,
The only thing I see is you,
For all the times you walked the line for me and standing by my side, I say thank you,
Here lies my life, It never felt that real to me.

You'll always mean so much to me
And there's no reply, And there's no reply,
You'll never know how much you meant to me,
And there's no reply, And there's no reply,
You'll never know how much you meant to me.

If only I could call the rain to melt and wash away the pain you feel. I would.
You gave yourself to me and showed me what the truth could be.
For that, I say thank you.

This was my life.It never made much sense to me...

I close my eyes and watch as my life passes by,The only thing I see is you,
For all the times you walked the line for me and standing by my side,
I say thank you,
You in my life,
It all meant so much more to me.
