Lyrics
Ooh I wanna take you Up here where the air is clear Where clouds & sunlight paint the sky That is where I want to fly Ooh let me take you Beyond everything that we know Up here it's beautiful Leave behind every sorrow Fly away And we'll be flying in heaven We'll float through the sky And we'll be flying in heaven Love lifts us high And we are flying to heaven To find peace of mind And we are flying to heaven We're leaving the world behind If you ever wanna dream Come & I'll take you with me The sky, it has no boundaries When love gives you wings Away, far above the crystal clouds Soaring tumbling through midair We'll see the troubles melt away We'll always want to be there In heaven.

Song Production Information
Sota Fujimori
For me, the image of heaven was the basis for this song. I listened around and imagined transformers in the sky flying above me, which gave me the idea for this.
SYNTHESIZED was released recently, so there is a long version of this song. If you have time, please listen to it.
The movie for the song is great, it has truly amazing images. The video and overall performance are great.
It's now time to forget all your troubles, and let's go travel up to the sky!!!
Video Production Information
Taiyo Yamamoto
During the production of the video, I imagined flying swiftly, then soaring.
For Fly Above, I imagined a little knob flying. I felt that it was ideal for this video.
For the lyrics in the middle of the video, try singing with it if you feel lucky, or watch over someone's shoulder.
