Sometimes, through unwanted circumstances, we lose a part of our selves. Countdown is about patience and not giving up hope that one day, we can be reunited with what we have lost.
lyrics
“Until we meet again.”
That is what was said,
Somewhere down the Oval.
Raf and Dani won’t forget.
The sun sets there, but it rises here.
This game will surely end.
That is what’s clear.
Hail to the King of QC
Long live the Queen of Cali
So far apart ‘til when?
Holding on as long as they can.
Nights lying on the rooftop,
Thinking of our first day,
Laughter and all those stories,
Held hands by the bay.
The sun sets there, though it rises here.
This game will surely end. That is what’s clear.
When this is over, they’ll have nothing to fear.
Takes me back to my high school classroom during the days of binging Inio Asano's old manga scanlations before anything was licensed. At that time, I was discovering many kinds of Asian shoegaze, but I've never heard anything like this. Makes me think of Pasteboard, Supecar, and Midnight Pingpong a bit, and it's funny bc the first two I listen have blue album covers too. Lu
