Hi. I performed, recorded, and produced this song on the 3rd floor of my home in the summer of 2024.
It was hot.
It took a month longer than planned because I lost my voice and energy to Covid for a long time. Yes. It's still out there. It still stinks. Avoid receiving or giving it if you can.
But I guess that's fine. It really is an end of summer welcome to a crisp air, fall kind of song anyway. In the scene where it's used in FLCL, Naota even mentions it's too cold to be riding by the seashore in October. So be sure to come back for another listen in a few weeks.
Lyrics
Alone on an isle with you,
it seems like it’s about to be sink
Can’t find it on any map
It has no name
Just yesterday a boat,
It sailed so close, I almost felt some hope
Was not for you
Was not for me
It sailed on by
So sunburnt we
Stare at the sky
So scorching
Hot and bright
Hold a prism up
Look longingly
Take it here from my hand…
Can you feel?
Can you feel that hybrid rainbow?
We just found our way
And if we can’t see what comes next, know that
It’s still up to you.
This airship we’re riding on
Lost altitude, we’re going down
Skim so low right near the ground
We’re crashing now
But these colors oh
They shine on through
Defying
words somehow
Till eventually
Lost carelessly
To all the vultures below…
Can you feel?
Can you feel that hybrid rainbow?
Surely not just yet
No this can’t be the end, not at all.
You can’t deny.
Can you feel?
Can you feel that hybrid rainbow?
Don’t you know that
we’re half way there
I can feel
I can feel that hybrid rainbow
We just found our way
This little light of hope left for tomorrow
I’ll hold close to you.
