[Intro] [Instruments: Low-tempo dark jazz piano, brushed drums with jungle ghost hits, sub bass swell] [SE: Distant rain, neon buzz, vinyl crackle] [Vocal: Female scat, airy whispers, off-beat swells] [Verse 1] [Instruments: Muted trumpet stabs, upright bass walking slow, rim-click jungle pattern] [SE: Window rain taps, ice clink] [Vocal: Female scat answering phrases, breathy tails] The neon bleeds across the Window pane, Tonight, the city sleeps so cold, lost in the rain. The ice in my glass begins to Melt away, Leaving me Standing here, all alone at the end of the day. [Pre-Chorus] [Instruments: Rhodes chords widening, filtered pads rising] [SE: Memory tape rewind, soft whoosh] [Vocal: Female scat glides upward, call-and-response] A corner of my memory starts to Flicker and fade, The words from that day Whisper through the air, a sad serenade. With my fingertip, I trace a Misty memory, Can’t catch the moment, It’s just not fair, you see. [Chorus] [Instruments: Swing-wave synth lead, open hi-hats, bass drops on 1] [SE: City traffic far below] [Vocal: Female scat harmonies layered wide] This Urban Blues, my heart is sinking slow, Playing Jazz and R&B, wherever we go. Our feelings pass each other by, I just don’t know Where our harmony began to lose its glow. [Verse 2] [Instruments: Guitar with tremolo, bass slides, jungle break chopped] [SE: Bar ambience, glass clatter muted] [Vocal: Female scat syncopated, playful flicks] The noise of the bar seems Even quieter now, People come and go, they take a bow, what a show. Familiar faces start to Turn away, No reason why, I guess that’s how it goes today. [Pre-Chorus] [Instruments: Strings pad shadows, low brass breath] [SE: Clock tick dissolving] [Vocal: Female scat sighs, soft bends] On lonely nights like this, Time moves fast, Trying to forget the good times, but memories last. Hiding in my heart, an Unspoken truth, Lost in the rhythm of this concrete youth. [Chorus] [Instruments: Full groove return, swing accent on off-beats] [SE: Neon flicker] [Vocal: Female scat strong, stacked thirds] This Urban Blues, my heart is sinking slow, Playing Jazz and R&B, wherever we go. Our feelings pass each other by, I just don’t know Where our harmony began to lose its glow. [Sax Solo] [Instruments: Tenor sax gritty, delay tails, jungle drums half-time] [SE: Subway wind rush] [Vocal: Female scat minimal, breath pulses between phrases] [Bridge] [Instruments: Piano drops to minor voicings, bass tremor] [SE: Twilight wind, distant siren softened] [Vocal: Female scat echoing questions] Shadows stretch and then they disappear in Twilight, But even so, I’m searching for My own true light. An answerless question is Just spinning around my head, In this city of dreams, with words unsaid, where am I bound? [Chorus] [Instruments: Final chorus lift, synth shimmer, cymbal swells] [SE: Rain easing] [Vocal: Female scat soaring, ad-libs left and right] This Urban Blues, my heart is sinking slow, Playing Jazz and R&B, wherever we go. Our feelings pass each other by, I just don’t know Where our harmony began to lose its glow. [Outro] [Instruments: Piano alone, bass fades, tape saturation] [SE: Dawn birds distant, neon power-down] [Vocal: Female scat dissolving into hum] As the last note drifts into the morning blue, Neon fades out, and so do you. I walk this street till the sky turns new, With Urban Blues, learning how to let go too. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 【日本語訳】 [Intro] [Verse 1] ネオンが窓ガラスに滲んでいく 今夜の街は 雨に紛れて冷たく眠っている グラスの中の氷が ゆっくり溶けて 一日の終わりに わたしだけが取り残されている [Pre-Chorus] 記憶の片隅が ちらついて消えかける あの日の言葉が 悲しいセレナーデみたいに空を漂う 指先でなぞる 霧がかった思い出 掴めない瞬間ばかりで 不公平だよね [Chorus] このアーバン・ブルースに 心が静かに沈んでいく ジャズとR&Bを鳴らしながら どこへでも行ったね 気持ちはすれ違ったままで 理由も分からない いつから二人のハーモニーは 輝きを失ったんだろう [Verse 2] バーのざわめきさえ 今はやけに静かに感じる 人は現れては消え お辞儀をして去っていく まるでショーみたい 見慣れた顔も 次々と背を向けていく 理由なんてなくて たぶん今日はそんな日なんだ [Pre-Chorus] こんな孤独な夜は 時間だけが早く過ぎていく 忘れようとしても 楽しかった記憶は残ったまま 胸の奥に隠した 言葉にできない真実 コンクリートの若さのリズムに 迷い込んでいる [Chorus] このアーバン・ブルースに 心が静かに沈んでいく ジャズとR&Bを鳴らしながら どこへでも行ったね 気持ちはすれ違ったままで 理由も分からない いつから二人のハーモニーは 輝きを失ったんだろう [Sax Solo] [Bridge] 影は伸びて やがて黄昏に溶けて消える それでもわたしは 本当の光を探している 答えのない問いが 頭の中で回り続けて 言葉を残したままの夢の街で わたしはどこへ向かうの？ [Chorus] このアーバン・ブルースに 心が静かに沈んでいく ジャズとR&Bを鳴らしながら どこへでも行ったね 気持ちはすれ違ったままで 理由も分からない いつから二人のハーモニーは 輝きを失ったんだろう [Outro] 最後の音が 朝色の青へと漂っていく ネオンが消えて そして君も消えていく 空が新しく染まるまで この通りを歩き続けて アーバン・ブルースと一緒に 手放すことを覚えていく
