“Bill, if I may, I’d like to try something different this time.”

Ue o Muite Arukou or its title in English, Sukiyaki, was part of the soundtrack to From Up on Poppy Hill. The song really doesn’t have anything to do with sukiyaki does it?

Anyway, watch the movie or listen to the song, and feel the melancholy.

An aside, the tune was the basis for an American hit in the 80s. A song whose lyrics form the basis of one of rap’s greatest hits, La Di Da Di.

It’s all because of you.
I’m feeling sad and blue.
You went away
And now my life is filled with rainy days.
I love you so
How much you’ll never know
‘Cause you took your love away from me

Trap!

Is this a trap? Or can you fall in love with this guitar player? I’m going have to go with female according to her blog. Of course, this doesn’t stop her from being a he.

I am so confused.

But whatever. She rocks. He rocks. I mean that’s awesome.

Dear Kami-sama, can we get a third season of Haruhi?

Straight Dub

Can you name the Thievery Corporation tune being covered? I’m calling it: The Outernationalist from their most excellent Richest Man In Babylon album. Am I right?

Pools of Love

Wait. This is the real LouLou singing an acoustic version of Thievery Corporation’s Sweet Tides?

Hell yes. So pretty – a very pretty version.

The chord progression is simple. The original poster puts it as A, G, D sus 4. Simple. Three chords. I’m gonna go get my guitar and figure that out.

Anyone know the lyrics?
