Just let them go
Let go of all the fears you wear
I'd let them go
And let some air flow thru your care
Before the dawn
Crossing lights and falling waters
Make the world even brighter
One day, all of those old pains and anger
Will fade into the sun
I know you’re hurt
As you were once a child
With love so unbound
With love so free and wild
But let them go
And feel the blinding light around
Crossing lights and falling waters
Make the world even brighter
One day, all of those old pains and anger
Will fade into the sun
I know you’re hurt
As you were once a child
With love so unbound
With love so free and wild
So let them go
And feel the blinding light around
Just let them go
And feel the blinding light around
Just let them go
Just let them go
Just let them go

A Wall and Sands (feat. Shun Ishiwaka & Gensuke Kanki)
Tomoko Miyata
Where do we journey when the weight of the world finally lifts? Tomoko Miyata's album "unbound" gently speaks to this question through seven intimate musical narratives.
Having honed her musical talents in Los Angeles and New York, Tomoko Miyata now resides in the serene embrace of Amami Oshima, Japan.
Here, she encounters Gensuke Kanki, a guitarist and composer who crafts a unique sound, gracefully traversing genres. His guitar work intertwines with her voice, weaving an album rich in texture and profound emotion.
Penned in both English and Japanese, the lyrics vividly depict the worlds she has known and the present moment, resonating with themes of stark beauty: the interplay of dazzling light and deep darkness, the lingering scent of memory against the immediacy of now, and the flow of time. Delicate yet powerful guitar performances embrace her voice, illuminating the intricate landscape of the heart where light and shadow dance as one. The presence of guest musicians Shun Ishiwaka on drums and Romero Lubambo on guitar further enriches this sonic tapestry.
Beyond original compositions, their reinterpretations of songs by Tom Waits and Toru Takemitsu, timeless artists who continue to touch hearts across generations, cast a new and enchanting light upon their enduring magic.
May this album gently guide each listener to their own "unbound" within, a place where the soft caress of limitless love and a delicate, unwavering light await.
