Lyrics:

Melting into the darkness and fly

Lightning comes through me tonight

Every little thing celebrating feel right?

Something's evoking under the moon light

Can't you hear my voice tonight?

Every little thing celebrating feel it?

Wandering around round my life is a merry-go-round

Wandering around round my planet is spinning around

Wandering around round my life is a merry-go-round

How could I meet you in this world?

思い切り風を切って、走り抜けて立ち止まり

ふっと目にした　雲に飛び乗り

いつもの風景を　違うところで眺めたら

小さな事に　おもえて軽くなった

[translation:

Riding on my bike in wind as fast as possible and stop and jump on a cloud in the blue sky.

By watching the place I've belonged to, everyday from a cloud, I felt everything actually isn't a big deal, and felt lighter and freer...]

Wandering around round my life is a merry-go-round

Wandering around round our planet is spinning around

Wandering around round our life is a merry-go-round

Somehow get here now with you

with you... 

Love!!!

Yesterday, my friend, Eric Perry and I created this music video together!

All improvisations. Very thrilling video shooting!

He was saying about this as "Creative Celebration"!  And I love the naming!

The song is "Cotton Candy" (obviously). One of my songs.

And here, another one!



This music is written by Rosendo E. Santos, JR. He is my father in law. Unfortunately I could not see him...

But he left many beautiful pieces in this world! So, I asked Erik to collaborate with him!

I hope you enjoy this like we did!
