Description: "Hikoh" when written「飛行」means “flight” but written「弾こう」means “let’s play (music)”. I started writing it as a harmonic exercise on an ostinato but it ended up having a lot more to say, exploring the intersection between music and flying.

lyrics

Brush them off, all the cobwebs from the cold months
Spread your wings, cause I just learned how to use mine
彷徨わずの翼
自信持って羽ばたいてごらん
この先も二人で飛ぼうよ
いつでもどこでも

Pick it up you’re losing speed, always something in between
The clouds are rolling under me, and I can’t wait for you

目的地のない浮遊
消えてゆく地平線
Floating aimlessly but never touching ground
Control to major fall, the minor lift
糾える縄の如し
見えて来る夢の境目
Keep it straightened up and fly left, fly right
Wherever you go, whenever you need

Pick it up you’re losing speed (加速する鼓動)
Always something in between (雲の上)
The clouds are rolling under me, and I can’t wait for you
To fly

Feel the rush, that’s how you know you have found it
Fall with energy, but don't lose control

As the dew breaks fast from dusk, feathered birdsongs preach the choir Melodies of dreams come true, bolts of blue
Shine on you, flying through
碧く輝く空に願いを
雲の源
行こう
ひこう
