CLOSER by Joe Inoue

Here's another song that has found it's way to my car's mp3 player: CLOSER by Los Angeles born Joe Inoue. This one's a beautiful uplifting song about seeing everyday miracles, and appreciating the things that really matter.

English Translation
-----------------------
You have to always be careful
With the things closest to you.
You get too close, and
You'll lose sight of it.

What the heck is this happiness
That you experienced recently?
Maybe you are too blessed,
And cannot remember!

Being here now.
Breathing.
I've just noticed
That these are miracles.

You have to always be careful
With the things closest to you.
You get too close, and
You'll lose sight of it.

You know the closer you get to something,
The tougher it is to see it.
And I'll never take it for granted.
Let's go!

Even though there are those
Who call the act of mercy hypocrisy,
Because there are both
People who believe and people who doubt

Even if, for example,That is hypocrisy,
If someone is salvageable,
That is all that matters.

Go forward without giving up
On the dream you are chasing!
If you spend your time bragging,
You won't be able to do anything.

In order to survive another day,
I'll gather a handful of courage to my chest.
And I'll never take it for granted.
Let's go!

Misc. Person: Everybody make way for the King!
Misc. Person: This way, sir.
King: So you are the young boy who saved the world.
Joe: Yes, your Highness.
King: You will be rewarded for your bravery. What is it that you want? Gold? Silver?
Joe: No, your Highness.
King: Is it land?
Joe: No, sir.
King: Well, what is it then?
Joe: I don’t seek any more, for I have already acquired a gift in my heart.

You have to always be careful
With the things closest to you.
You get too close, and
You'll lose sight of it.

You know the closer you get to something,
The tougher it is to see it.
And I'll never take it for granted.

Go forward without giving up
On the dream you are chasing!
If you spend your time bragging,
You won't be able to do anything.

In order to survive another day,
I'll gather a handful of courage to my chest.
And I'll never take it for granted.
Let's go!

For those of you who missed the V-day Boat...

I hope you all had a great Valentine's Day yesterday :) I spent mine watching Tom Cruise's "Valkyrie" before heading for a swanky 5-course dinner for two at Oosh, Dempsey :)

Anyway, I would have been lounging my time away on a Sunday like today, but I just had to come online to give you all this piece of GOOD NEWS:

I had the pleasure to hand out the MakeOver vouchers to a number of you who's ordered SLIM before Valentine's Day - I hope that you have made (or will make) good use of it ;) I have but one request - if you're willing, could you post your makeover photos here for the rest of us to ogle at? :)
