After today You speak the new With every word you walk From the comfort of my hands And after all We fight the war Of enemies unseen and here we are in Jerome These words today How many times I'd smile If you'd remember me in this song There was a girl She fell in love And on the sundried Land they settled in and started again And when they sleep She'd sing this melody To her beloved sons Forgotten words from Japan
The incorporation of the Banjo towards the end of the song is incredible. Not just because of the regional reference (Camp Jerome was in Arkansas), but because as an instrument, its sounds fairly similar to the Shamisen, a traditional Japanese instrument.
For some reason when I listen to this song I think of a story of this guy who hated this kid when he was in school and that kid ended up growing up to become the president and he still hated him and hated his ideals even more so in a press conference he sits on top of a roof with a sniper in an attempt to assassinate the president but then through his scopes he sees the same woman that was the president’s girlfriend when they were in school and he’s seen how long they’ve been together and how devastated she would be if the president died so he doesn’t pull the trigger

I love this song too much to replay it less than 100 times
After today
You speak the new
With every word you walk
From the comfort of my hands
And after all
We fight the war
Of enemies unseen and here we are in Jerome
These words today
How many times I'd smile
If you'd remember me in this song
There was a girl
She fell in love
And on the sundried
Land they settled in and started again
And when they sleep
She'd sing this melody
To her beloved sons
Forgotten words from Japan

Favourite song from the new Album (so far), glad you're back!
Watched him, loved it, impressed me, got me into piano, and now going to level 4 Nyssma at a young age.
I love every song on this album, no exceptions.💗
The best song I have ever seen
That’s some deep synesthesia you’ve got going on there, man.🥸
Brother you are awesome 🎆
I listen to this when I play the Jerome Gambit
nice
Yes, but what does Jerome Gambit play when you play him?😳
New album out?
How Beautifully Exquisite way to sing about a place so awful.

Er, ok.🤔
Can anyone translate the Japanese portion for me?
Not 100% sure but roughly:
"I feel sadness but my friend will forget my heart by sunset"
Actually it’s “Even if I touch sadness, each new day is my heart’s friend”.
Thank you!
