Game Size

Can you hear me from above?
Do you feel the pain inside of me?

Rushes through, winter in the air
Passing by, no one cares to stop

Can you see me from above?
Do you share my frozen memories?

Setting sun, leaving me alone
Silent dark, saying not a word

Let the snow paint me
Please give me a brand new start on life
Just again, once for all
Let the snow paint me
Please give me a break from yesterday
Smile for me, take my hand

Let the snow paint me

Long Version


Can you hear me from above?
Do you feel the pain inside of me?

Rushes through, winter in the air
Passing by, no one cares to stop

Can you see me from above?
Do you share my frozen memories?

Setting sun, leaving me alone
Silent dark, saying not a word

Let the snow paint me
Please give me a brand new start on life
Just again, once for all
Let the snow paint me
Please give me a break from yesterday
Smile for me, take my hand

Can you watch me from above?
Knowing someone cares can mean a lot

Warming breeze, never seemed to come
Covered green, spring not far away

Can you guide me from above?
All I need is just a little light

Cowardly, I go step by step
Gentle white, hiding all I fear

Let the snow paint me
Please give me a brand new look for life
Just again, once for all
Let the snow paint me
Please give me a break from what I was
Smile for me, take my hand

Let the snow paint me

Song Production Information

HIRO

This song was recorded in advance for Sana's 2nd album, "Sanative", but in the end, it's a new song in beatmaniaIIDX 7th style.
I was excited that the movie was almost made as a promotional video.
I'm grateful to Scotty D. for his wonderful written lyrics.
There are many trance songs included in the IIDX series recently, but if you want to enjoy orthodox trance music by avex trax artists, I tried to include some trance tones and phrases in this song, with singing as the leading part.
By the way, during the previous summer vacation when I went to the birthplace of trance in Amsterdam, Netherlands, I was a bit surprised that stores in train stations sold trance CDs.

Video Production Information

VJ GYO

When the title is translated into Japanese as "Repaint me in Snow" (私を雪で塗り替えて), I heard the lyrics of this song as a shaman theme about speaking to dead people.
I created this movie to emphasize the texture adjustments in a form which reproduces the lyrical contents.
