My two favorite songs of Party Queen
So to be honest, I'm not really feeling Ayu's new album. I think it's partly because I loved her last album so much - I thought the combination of TK's music and Ayu's lyrics worked really well together. I also think that there is too much Timmy on this album. One of the songs he wrote for her is really neat, the vintage sounded Eyes, Smoke, Mirrors, and I don't see many of the current J-pop song writers coming out with something like that, and certainly not for Ayu. But I find most of his other songs just...not very interesting.
However, Tell me Why makes up for the songs on the album I don't like, because I love it. I read an interview with Ayu where she talked about how she wrote the songs for this album long before she and Manny decided to get a divorce, but that after it happened, she got chills re-reading the lyrics she had wrote, because she realized, "Even at that point, in my heart, I already knew."
I can't help feeling that the lyrics to Tell me Why and Return Road are some of the lyrics that she was referring to.
Tell me why
What are you thinking about right now?
The truth is that the only thing I want to see in those eyes of yours
is something kind, something warm.
Why do you force yourself to look like your having fun when your eyes are so sad?
Why do you pretend to be so strong and say, "I'm fine."?
I want to hear you say it outloud
Because even those tiny, insignificant things that don't come across on the screen
have meaning.
Why do you always take everything on yourself, and suffer alone?
Why do you blame yourself and say, "It's all my fault that things turned out like this."?
Am I so powerless that I can't even give you any support?
Please, I want to share it with you
Your pain, your confusion, and your past.
Why do you always force yourself, with your eyes so sad...
Why do you pretend to be so strong, and say "I'm fine."?
Oh, oh, tell me why (x7)
Why do you say it?
Return Road
The reflection of you in my eyes
and the reflection of me in your eyes
Alone now, I close my eyes in silence
and think back on the moment we met
when our eyes locked and I forgot how to breath
That's all, so why am I sobbing so uncontrollably?
That invisible thing that we saw, that we felt, that we vowed
Is it still smiling down at us from somewhere?
The two of us aren't reflected in our eyes anymore
but that doesn't mean that something else is reflected there
Just that that thing we saw so clearly that day is nowhere to be found now
Other people will probably ridicule us for this
But no matter how much authority anyone speaks of us with,
We are only ones who know what happened with us.
That's all, so why am I sobbing so uncontrollably?
That invisible thing that we saw, that we felt, that we vowed
Other people will probably ridicule us for this
But no matter how much authority anyone speaks of us with,
