"Needle of a Compass / Yoshiyuki Yatsuhashi" Drums & Guitars Vol. 3

八橋義幸
The third song of my collaboration with Maseeeta. I suggested drumming like Stewart Copeland but using the sound of Bonzo, and this is what he sent me. Loudness and tightness coexist in his performance, and it was more amazing than I imagined it would be. I was compelled to compose a song in the Lydian mode and ended up with a piece that is difficult to label with chord names. I like unexpected horn sections like in songs by The Police and Radiohead. The vocal is like growling a spell.
Feel the wind. Feel the moon.

マシータとのコラボ三曲目。ボンゾの音でS・コープランドのような演奏はどうか？と問いかけたら送り返してくれた。ラウドさとタイトさが共存する演奏。想像以上にかっこいい。やはりリディアン・モードで作り始めたら、自分でもコードネームがつけられないような曲になってしまった。ポリスやレディオ・ヘッドで出てくるような、意表をつくホーンセクションが好きだ。ボーカルは唸る呪文のよう。
風の音を聴け。月を感じろ。

Needle of a Compass

I hear voices of men dying
Not from disease but from people
I see news, politicians working
Not for people but themselves

This is a world we lost the map
The needle is always spinning
This is a world we lost our mind
No one tells me the exit

Hear the wind
Feel the moon
