solanin

today i listened to adele's "someone like you" a few times. had a bit of a moment to be honest. i think i would much prefer to sing another farewell song,"solanin," from the same titled film. while the film disappointed me (i loved the original manga) this song was on continuous play for quite a while over summer.

[Miyazaki Aoi - 'Solanin']  lyrics



Goodbye, that's enough
You can cope anywhere
Goodbye, I'll manage somehow too
Goodbye, that's what I'll do


later i found out the song was created by asian kung-fu generation. which was such an engrained part of my high school life (partly due to falling asleep daily with the music on) that i had to revisit other old favorites. i find myself having complete musical nostalgia every other month, remembering and reconfirming the best parts of my past. i am so glad to find them as sweet as ever.
