about

The song “Drifting” is about sitting down and pursuing your dreams while the world wants you to get up, work, and get instant results.

Maybe it looks like we’re floating and drifting meaninglessly in the waves of life.
But we aren't. We wait, we trust, and we work hard to grab that dream with our arms against all odds.

"Drifting" is a cleverly made mash up of Japanese and English lyrics, featuring a Japanese artist and friend, Lauren Horii. Both of us being the "Happa" in Japan meaning "half or foreign mix", this song is about bringing the good and bad experiences into harmony and melody. Sharing this celebration of the start of this dream run of singles and an album!

lyrics

Verse 1:
Memories we cant erase
all the good times and bad times
All in the same light

So exposed, weak to the bone
But my heart's in the clouds
My mind fixed on you now

Pre Chorus:
floating, drifting, wondering where this life will be
Nothings wasted when I am waiting for the tides, to lift me free

Chorus:
So I won’t back down
till I have you here in my arms arms, arms
I’m not doubting
ただあなたがほしいだけ eh eh
(Translates: All I really longing, is you)

Verse 2
Melodies みたいね
All the good times and bad
まるで和音のように重なって
誰かの心に漂って

(Translates: Like melodies,
all the good times and bad times
come together as harmony and drifts to ones heart)

Pre-chorus:
泡沫の日々がまるで
何も間違いじゃないように繋がる
(Translates: to English pre chorus)

Chorus:
So I won’t back down
till I have you here in my arms arms, arms
I’m not doubting
ただあなたがほしいだけ eh eh
