The chord that is played at approximately 3:00 is so divine and lush to my ears that I closed my eyes, so that my sight would not distract me from savoring the pleasure of listening to it.

Was I hearing the sound of your musical soul?

Hi LOREN,

Thank you for your thoughtful comment. I was quite impressed by you. You must be the person who can see the imaginary scenes with your eyes closed changing with the progress of the music, and describe them properly. I must confess I am not such a person. It might make it possible for me to vaguely see them by following your description though. So, my answer to your question might be yes and no.

Incidentally, I am afraid you listened to the base version (Remixed version), not the Album version. The play time of the Album version is 3:13 while that of the base version is 3:32. Most probably, my description of the song is not clear and make you confused. I am sorry for that. I believe you would see somewhat different scenes by listening to the Album version.

Thank you again,

Hiroshi
