Half a Beat Behind

Half a Beat Behind Everybody Moves so fast City lights are Slipping past I can hear them Down the line Always moving Just in time One more footstep One more sign I’m still walking Half a beat behind I try to follow I try to fall in line But every time I catch the rhythm It moves ahead of mine Half a beat behind But I’m still in time Everybody runs ahead I’ll take another line Half a beat behind Still I’m moving on Maybe I was never late Maybe they were gone Conversations Come and go People answer Before I know Every doorway Every light Seems to vanish Out of sight But in the silence Left behind I see something They will never find Miss a step Shift the line Lose the beat Change the time Fall away Come around Off the beat Still on the ground Half a— Half a beat— Half a beat behind Maybe I don’t need to follow Every step they leave for me Maybe being out of rhythm Is exactly where I’m free Half a beat behind And I’m still in time Let the whole world race ahead This rhythm’s only mine Half a beat behind Still I’m moving on I don’t need to catch them now I know where I belong Half a beat behind Still moving in my time AN ORIGINAL INSTRUMENTAL, REBORN AS A VOCAL PIECE I originally wrote this instrumental piece 30 years ago. Using today’s technology, I rebuilt it as a vocal work while preserving the original melody and ideas. I hope you enjoy listening. 30年前に作ったオリジナル・インストゥルメンタルを、当時のメロディやアイデアを残しながら、現代のテクノロジーでボーカル作品として再構築しました。 楽しんで聴いていただけたら嬉しいです。 #HalfABeatBehind #OriginalMusic #MusicRemake #AIMusic #VocalMusic #AlternativeRock
