@@optimisticnihilist7331 The translation is generally pretty weird. Also, some of the times are just wrong, for example with "as my spring begins", where in reality it is "when my spring began", with emphasis on it being in the past.
***** the original reference that op referred to was to the game "space funeral" which includes this song, the other reference that the commenters made was to the anime "Jojo's Bizarre Adventure" which his icon is from.
Rest In Peace mizutani, I cannot even begin to explain how your music has helped through the years, but I will say whenever I needed this song the most, It found me. Rest it peace you absolute genius.
Fuuuck, I found this band years ago and they hold a special place in my heart. This song just randomly popped into my head and I come here for the first time in a while and learn that Mizutani has passed!? R.I.P. Takashi Mizutani, I hope you're at peace, just like I am now when I hear your music.
the best version of this song and its not even close. the soft spoken delayed vocals. the gentle guitar and bass parts. the hi hat and rim that makes you wanna slow dance. the single person applauding at the end followed by nothing but silence. this song is everything to me. this song is a dream but is so grounded that it feels real. this song feels like the word "life" itself. rip mizutani. your musical genius will be remember for ages.
"The last public appearances of Takashi Mizutani were two live performances in 1997 with jazz saxophonist Arthur Doyle and drummer Sabu Toyozumi. It is unknown what his current whereabouts are, or whether or not he is still alive." Wherever he is, I hope he's doing well.
@@TheSpellShell We do know tho, there are recordings of him talking for a bit, there are quite a lot of videos of him, an entire interview (a written one though). Also in his 1995 live with the band "Shizuka" you could see him in a good lighting, and basically see his face aging like a man's face does.
I've listened to this song a lot over the years, it's been playing during a lot of random moments in my life -cleaned my room -drove around -smoked a cigarette -watched the sun set -first day of college with a friend -kissed -heroin -rode my bike home after quitting my job -cried -bought candy in canada -trashed my room -sat in a hot tub -wandered through a grocery store -waited for someone who wouldn't show up -rode my bike on the freeway at night -cleaned up blood -quit heroin -kept crying -wandered around a forest -dug agate crystals out of the sand -ate noodles -said goodbye to a friend -smoked another cigarette somehow it always fit perfectly
Judging by your icon I'd say that you first heard this track in Space Funeral, a game soundtrack that greatly expanded your tastes in music and psychedelic aesthetics, which lead to Hylics catching your interest.
dropped acid and listened to this song alone. i smoked some cigarettes and danced in my room until the sun went down. laid on the floor. this song truly is my forever song.
@@NORMAN-HATES-YOU Good luck being addicted to acid, or any psychedelic for that matter (it is quite hard to happen).You are a terribly stupid person, jugding from the few comments you posted here, truly no one appreciates them and they all reek of ignorance.
I'd like to speak for everyone for a moment if people don't mind. Mizutani, we miss you already. I know that we all wanted that last concert he mentioned in a great hall, I was ready to go to Japan to see it myself. But it won't happen, ever, and in a way, thats very Les Rallizes Denudes of him, the darkness of the void consuming the hope of the universe. I know whatever is left of him is out there in the universe, wailing against the heat death of the everything. Rest in Peace Takashi Mizutani, you induldged our darkness and soothed it with feedback.
This song sounds like the feeling of waking up from a dream where you met people that don’t exist and can only help but mourn the fact that you’ll never see them again.
Just like how our memories are imperfect, fictionalized retellings of past events that lose detail every time you recall them, and regress into just a few diffuse emotions or fade altogether, this song feels like music I've heard before a long time ago. Just like a memory, it has become warped and strange and soft around the edges. It's hard to recall the lyrics exactly but you still vaguely remember the rhythm and the sound of the words. The most well preserved part of the melody is _that one bit_, that great part in the refrain or bridge, which tumbles around in your mind and gets looped over and over and over.
This song has followed me throughout my teenage years. Discovering it around 6th grade and feeling feelings that no other song has been able to replicate made me stick to this song. I clinged on to it like a child holds his mothers hand, and it has been there for me. I finally reached 20 and I can fully say every time I listen to this I appreciate it more. I’m sure the older I get, and the more memories I make with it, the harder this song will hit.
@@keemstarkreamstar7069 oh no, I didn’t know what space funeral was (it’s cool from what I’ve seen) was until I found this. I used to just listen to whatever would pop up on RU-vid playlist and this song popped up
I showed this song to a girl I loved once. I lived in a small town in the middle of nowhere and not a lot of people liked the things I did. I went to college and met her in my class. She asked what music I liked and I said noise rock and usually that scares girls away, but she stayed. I was young and naive and she was strong and knew what she wanted and she was the closest thing to the girl of my dreams I could’ve ever asked for and she liked me. I got scared of this, idk if it was that I wanted to fit in or make more friends at college but I broke her heart and left. I change my interests and changed my whole personality. Now I’m a junior about to be a senior in college and I miss who I used to be and miss her, someone who liked me for me unapologetically. I always came to this song when I feel low and this feeling I have right now is perfectly played with this song.
Fuck, that really hurts. I can relate, because I lost a girl, and only much later did I realize how much she meant to me, and how much I truly loved her. At the time, she also liked me for who I was, and I'm afraid I'll never find such person again. I hope you'll get over her, and find love somewhere else :)
People ask about the lyrics often, I figured I'd help out: White awakening puts me to sleep, letting me hear a peaceful song When my spring began, all I wanted was you Even after the wind blew through, my heart was rocked (Musical interlude) Even after the wind blew through, my heart was rocked Enveloped in the scent of the light, I forget everything but you White awakening puts me to sleep, letting me hear a peaceful song
This song means so much for me. Through a random RU-vid recommendation of it, I discovered Space Funeral, after which playing surreal RPG Maker games became my hobby. I also started listening to more weird and obscure music. And last but not least, its atmosphere inspired several of my own short stories and poems. Its unreal how much impact White Waking had on my life. Thank you for the upload.
Pour one out for our friend: In a March 2010 interview with Kyodo News, Wakabayashi stated that the hijacking was a "selfish and conceited" act. Wakabayashi added that he wished to return to Japan and was willing to face arrest and trial for his role in the hijacking.[6] In April 2014 he was still alive, and residing in the North Korea together with other members of his group.
The version of this song used in Space Funeral is taken from the 6CD album "Double Heads" from Les Rallizes Denudes. But... There's something weird... The version played in Space Funeral is about ten seconds longer than the actual track on the album. Where the fuck did Catamites find this slightly extended version????
Yeah it's weird, I have a copy of that album and the track heard in this video in my copy is entitled "Shiroi mezame", but my copy is 6:22 in length. I have 36 other copies of the song though. Yes, 36. They all sound completely different in quality, tuning, tempo. They have so many versions of White Waking/Awakening it's unreal.
reminds me of the end of summer before senior year of high school, playing space funeral on my laptop. after discovering this song, i went for a ride to the art store (that's now out of business) with my parents, watching the sunset as i played this on constant repeat. it was such a simple memory, but somehow i miss it so much. nostalgia is so powerful.
6 years after playing Space Funeral, still remains one of my favorite songs ever! Predated shoegaze, punk rock.. So ahead of its time. Mizutani is a genius. I hope he's still around.
@@reiriot2156 His friends are the sources. Aquillha (Akira) Mochiduki is one of them, he has a RU-vid channel and I think he has an Instagram. Doesn't really know English that well though. And I don't remember who it was, but in an interview with one of the former band members he said that Mizutani called him up in 2020 and talked about the virus and how he wants his last show to be in a huge hall. That's pretty much it. The source for that interview is in some recent video about them, iirc it was like a 15 minute video and the interview part was in the end. I can find the video later if you need it.
@@reiriot2156 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Oq1wGRgM5jE.html this video. A great video overall, but what's important is after 13:55 or around that time. Makoto Kubota has been giving a lot of interviews lately, some even in English, so be sure to check them out. I can send you another one of his interviews where he talks about recording an album called Mizutani back in the 1970 and how they thought that the hijacking of a plane didn't concern them at all, which is quite the opposite of what people generally think.
I love this song, it has that feeling of sadness and relaxation, and in the same time this makes me feel some hope, like, things are horribly bad, but this feels like a pat in the back after so much suffering, sounds like kind of "everything's fucked up but hey man chill down a bit, there's still hope, don't give up, just rest a little, then try again" Dunno, and yes, this apply to Space Funeral too. I love this song, sometimes helps me out.
This song sounds like nostalgia, nostalgia for memories that are blurry and faded but you know that it was a good time even if you can't remember much about it. A long gone summer breeze from years ago, you feel its touch on your shoulder once again.
Как я надеялся, как ждал, что выйдет он из тени, фиг с ними, с концертами, но хотя бы интервью, ручкой хотя бы помахал. Сколько их, чудесных музыкантов ушло, но они были на виду. А Мизутани всё шифровался. Сложно это переварить и принять.
This song is like having a brief, sentimental moment of respite after another monotonous day of tedium, taking a deep breath and watching the sunset's deep orange slowly disappear over the horizon, finally allowing yourself a moment away from the anxiety of life.
Omg I love this so much this is the first time I have ever heard of this it’s it’s incredible it sounds how I feel like bittersweet I’m legit fucking bawling rn it’s so beautiful ouch
In white, the awakening encloses me. It lets me listen to a comforting song. When my spring began, I did want nothing except for you. Even after the wind has already passed, my soul did dream on .. Even after the wind has already passed, my soul was still shaking. The scent of light remains concealed... I leave anything behind except for you. In white, the awakening encloses me. It lets me listen to a comforting song.
It's imo the cutest, saddest, most beautiful and significant detail. A wonderful and emotional music listened for at least one person, who's able to clap and appreciate such underrated art.
Im nameless... im just a nobody... nobody understands me,.... i want a girlfriend... im in highschool.... my emotions are so complex.... GET A GIRLFRIEND BRO! GO OUT THERE AND MAKE SOME FRIENDS! PLAY FOOTBALL! LEARN A SPORT! YOU ARE LONELY BECAUSE YOU ARE PLAYING UNFULLFILLING VIDEOGAMES AND LISTENING TO SHITTY MUSIC LIKE THIS AND WASTING YOUR TIME ON RU-vid, GET A LIFE! GO TO THE BEACH! 🌞🌞🌞🌄🌅😎🌇
@@NORMAN-HATES-YOU lmao I was at the time. As of now I'm trying to pull my life together. I'm training my art skills and trying to find people on my wavelength.
Overdosed then got a year sober while discovering this song, recently relapsed and have overdosed twice in the last week, had to get narcanned and defibrillated. Im 17 but this song makes life hopefull yet blissfully hopeless. Like im fucked and ill never have a normal life but thats okay
Listening to this drink hit the back of my throat makes me feel better, but not much. Many thanks, to community and artists alike, for consistently showing others great creations and sharing them.
White Awakening White awakening puts me to sleep By singing a lullaby for my peace of mind. As my spring came I would nothing except for you. Even after the wind die away My heart is still flickering. Even after the wind die away My heart is still flickering. By the scent of the light accompanied I leave all except for you. White awakening puts me to sleep By singing a lullaby for my peace of mind. 白い目覚め まっ白い目覚めが わたしを眠らせ 安らぎの歌を聴かせてくれるの わたしの春がはじまったとき あなただけしか欲しくなかった 風の通り過ぎたあとでも わたしの心は揺れるの 風の通り過ぎたあとでも わたしの心は揺れるの 光の香りにつつまれて あなた以外は置き忘れてゆく まっ白い目覚めが わたしを眠らせ 安らぎの歌を聴かせてくれるの I believe he is singing about heroin.
I like to put this, turn off the lights in my room and just let me eyes adapt to the dark, slowly i can see everything, slowly i can see myself, everything is alright.
Sitting in the car with the motor running, looking through a dirty windshield. Watching the sun set over the Rockies, and not knowing where to go with my life. That's what this song is for.
Right now I’m on the bleachers of a high school I don’t attend, standing on the top row as the sun sets behind me, watching planes and cars pass me by, listening to this and “plainsong” by the cure. Thinking about the day I had, wondering whether or not I’ll be dead lonely this summer like I was last summer, about how my life was when I discovered this song last may, probably a year to this date (it hurts a bit to much to check), I was ridden with hope of a relationship with somebody who I know I will have to get over very soon, my mind is an ambience of angst, and as I stand here with this music engulfing me I don’t feel that sad. It’s just weird to accept how life changes for you, it’s good ultimately but it’s weird. It’s weird to look back at times you felt sad in and in hindsight accept them as what they were, beautiful memories that you took for granted in a way of a time you were very happy and innocent. I know one day I’ll look back and be so glad I never gave up, I know, I know that day will come. Hang in there friends.
I wrote this comment nine months ago. I was in a tough spot. Since I wrote it so many things have happened. So many thoughts about ending my life, about giving up on love and life. But now I’m the happiest I’ve ever been, I’m in an happy relationship with someone whos presence in my life is a blessing, in a prestigious music program where I’m admired. I’m the most loved and the most fulfilled I’ve ever been. I wasn’t dead lonely that summer, it was the best summer of my life. I fell in love. I’ve been through so much and I didn’t think I’d make it, but I did and I’m so glad I stuck with this mentality of never giving up. It was so hard and scary but I’m so happy. I’m begging all of you to stay. It may be hard but it’s worth it. Just wait and it’ll get better, if it did for me it will for you. Please hang in there, I’m so happy i did.
Esta canción por alguna razón me despide una especie de tristeza/melancolía, me pone serio pero algo deprimido, además, conocí a una mujer que yo amaba mucho cuando estaba por preparatoria. Y saber que el bajista anda atrapado en Corea del Norte (Incidente del vuelo 351 de las aerolíneas de Japón) me da las vibras de "arrepentimiento" y demás emociones de dolor, pero pese a eso, la canción es tranquila, me reconforta y me da las vibras que pese a esas emociones, hay nuevas esperanzas.
Great song, It's like the wind blowing on the grass of rolling fields. It's so raw and unfiltered; expressed so passionately. The rawness makes it amazing, boils down human emotion into it's most elegant and humble state. Also I'm dropping a huge brown right now.
To anyone curious where this comes from, it's from the bootleg album "Double Heads: Legendary Live". The album is credited in the files of the game (the title is still in japanese in the game files) As to where the creator got the audio, likely all audio from this game was sourced from Limewire.
Узнал об этом произведении из очень старой мини игры под названием Space Funeral (Космические похороны). Когда я в первые услышал этот сэмпл в начале игры и это было лучшее.Спасибо MatthewWee'у что узнал об этой игре и песне.Песня на столько хорошая и настолько странная что это нельзя передать словами будто ты проваливаешься в другое измерение где ты просто существуешь.
This song is my definition of a cold windy day, wating for the results of a cyst, that we have the suspicion of being malignant. But after all, it wasn't
This feels like being miserable, but in song form. I've listened to the other version of this, and it has a completely cheerful vibe with no melancholy. Mizutani was a genius, rest in peace
It seems to fit much of life's events, even if said events are the exact opposite of each other. Even at happy times, one can listen to it in his mind and said times would remain more or less the same. It's like a Swiss knife; multiple functions.
There are few if any songs that make me feel a specific moment like this one. Waking up on a cold October morning. Half rain and half snow. Landlord hasnt turned on the heat yet. Its a moment you feel a million times and get sad. Half of you wants to go back there. Half if you would rather die than go back there, you know?
