this is a great song to play when studying. it's fluid and smooth, and a great blend of english and japanese. tho the lyrics contrast with the soothing tune. think last yr someone said she sounded like norah jones... but i think norah jones has a deeper voice. anyway, this's the song for Bleach's first ending.




Artist: Rie Fu
Title:Life is like a boat

Nobody knows who I really am
I never felt this empty before
And if I ever need someone to come along
Who's gonna comfort me, and keep me strong

We are all rowing a boat of fate
The waves keep on comin' and we can't escape
But if we ever get lost on our way
The waves would guide you thru another day

tooku de iki wo shiteru
toumei ni natta mitai
kurayami ni omoeta kedo
mekakushi sareteta dake

inori wo sasagete
atarashii hi wo matsu
azayaka ni hikaru umi
sono hate made e

Nobody knows who I really am
Maybe they just don't give a damn
But if I ever need someone to come along
I know you'd follow me, and keep me strong

hito no kokoro wa utsuri yuku
nukedashitaku naru
tsuki wa mata atarashii shuuki de fune wo tsureteku

And every time I see your face
The oceans heave up to my heart
You make me wanna strain at the oars
And soon I can see the shore

I can see the shore
When will I see the shore?

I want you to know who I really am
I never thought I'd feel this way towards you
And if you ever need someone to come along
I will follow you, and keep you strong

tabi wa mata tsudzuiteku
odayaka na hi mo
tsuki wa mata atarashii shuuki de fune wo terashidasu

inori wo o sasagete
atarashii hi wo matsu
azayaka ni hikaru umi
sono hate made

And every time I see your face
The oceans heave up to my heart
You make me wanna strain at the oars
And soon I can see the shore

unmei no fune wo kogi
nami wa tsugi kara tsugi e to
watashitachi wo osou kedo
sore mo suteki na tabi ne
dore mo suteki na tabi ne
