Kneeking Records presents "Song of Life", a philosophical ballad inspired by the definitions of life found in three Japanese dictionaries.
Drawing from Shinmeikai Kokugo Jiten, Meikyo Kokugo Jiten, and Kojien, the song explores the meaning of life through different perspectives, singing of both the beauty and fragility of living each passing moment.
Eyes gazing upon cherry blossoms.
A flame that continues to burn.
A heart swaying in the wind.
And jet-black lines drawn by the tip of a brush.
What is life?
Why do people suffer, and yet continue to live?
The words discovered along the Dictionary Journey have become a song, carried to the hearts of all living beings.
Will the cherry blossoms be just as beautiful next year?
That depends on whether we are here to see them.
Words and life.
Calligraphy and music.
Philosophy and prayer.
A hymn to life born from the Dictionary Journey.
