夏だね～It’s summer～

「春一番が
小さな過去へと　遠くなる６月

心は上の空
指折り数える
バラ色の夏休み

笑顔が似合う
楽しくなる
わけもなく胸ドキドキ
体中が感じてる　空と海のハーモニー

焼けつく日差し激しく揺れ
湧き出す勇気今なら　打ち明けられそう
心も程よく
夏だね」

作詞：前田亘輝

いまさらですが、「夏だね」。
夏と言えばTUBE。
以前はファンクラブに入っていたくらい好きでした。
コンサートに一緒に行く人がいなくなってから、ファンクラブもやめてしまって、
最近のTUBEの曲はもうほとんどわかりませんが、
今でも、TUBEの曲は大好きです。
前田さんの歌声を聴くと、なんだか夏が涼しく感じられる（気持ち的に）。
特にこの曲は、夏の暑苦しいのを払いのけるには、もってこいの歌です。

前田さんの作詞は、
誰にでもありそうな心の内を、
簡単だけれども実にぴったりと言葉に収めていて、
作曲の春畑さんのさわやかなメロディーにのって、
私の心にすとーんとしみこんで行きます。
恋愛のことだけじゃなくて、
壁にぶち当たったときや悩んでいるときに心に響く曲がたくさんあります。
TUBEは夏だけじゃありませんよ～！

“June is the month
when you hardly remember the first spring storm of the year
My mind is absent,
Counting the days until the rosy summer holiday

You look great with smile.
I feel so cheerful
My heart beats more without reason
All of my body feel the harmony of sky and sea

Burning sun is rocking
Which leads to bubbling courage of me
And so now
I think I can tell you something
In a lighthearted mood
Because it’s summer”

Well, this is too too too late to say “it is summer”.
When it comes to summer, this music band comes to my mind first.
I loved this band so much that I used to be a member of its official fan club a decade ago.
However, since I had no one to go out with for their concert, I left the fan club.
Since then I have not updated their new songs any more.
I don’t know their new songs, but I still love their songs that I used to listen to every day.
Mr. Maeda’s voice, who is a singer of the band, makes me feel cool in summer, especially this song.
This sticky hot weather can get away from me when I listen to it.

His poems tell very common feeling that anyone can have in with very simple words.
And the words absorb into inner part of me with the very fresh melody.
Lots of their songs hit my centre, which works not only for love but also for when I face difficulties and am lost my way in life.

Their songs are generally famous for representing summer, but they are worth listening in other seasons too!
