Let’s try something different tonight, instead of me writing descriptions about the track, I will describe to you in detail where “Blue Light” and “Memory of the Sea” took me in my imagination.
Play the music as you read through my thoughts, and once finished, try playing them again with your eyes closed— it’s your turn to imagine. Are you ready? Let’s begin.
Blue Light by Shingo Nakamura
I spread my arms wide-open as my toes leave the sand. The clouds give way as I rise. From up above, I see lush islands—thousands of them. I see clear blue water reflecting the light from the sun.
I start to drift away from my origin, and I tiny islands fade in my sight—different sizes, various shapes, all covered in green. I look to my right; I sight the source of light covered by thin clouds. I start to descend, trying to get a clearer perspective below. They become clearer— land, water, fishes, and trees.
Clear blue water embodied by life; yellow, blue, silver, pink, all of them with life too. I descend closer to land, as the clouds still give way. Drawing closer, I hear piano melodies playing.
The closer I get, the louder they become. I see it, an old piano by the sea. I descend more to the yellow sands. My toes finally touch the soft sand as I land.
Memory of the Sea by Shingo Nakamura
There I am, on the beach facing the infinite body of blue. I feel a chilly sensation on my toes; it’s the ocean trying to reach me. I look to the infinite horizon as the breeze brush through my face. The piano notes play again, it starts soft and then for each measure, it gets a little louder. Just at my back, the coconut trees sway in accordance to the rhythm of the melody. From my south, birds come out as they venture home and bid farewell to another day. I feel it; I feel the life around me, here, there, and everywhere. Everything’s in euphony.
