Lyric

My Life Is Mine

Shu Hakamada

I’m looking forward to tomorrow

There’s nothing I should sorrow

Already I have found my way

I have got all I need to go on

Just to follow my own decision

I’m always at my sole command to play

I had so many lonely nights

Couldn’t find any guiding light

Now I know who can help me is only myself

I’m just standing alone

My life is mine

I don't care just what you say

My life is mine

No one else can live instead

My life is mine

I was looking through my window

Just watching lights and shadows

The wind was blowing hard on the ground

I was not so deeply depressed

Rather enjoying the isolation

Needing some time to find out who I am

I was wandering in the woods

Trying to find any other ways

Now I swear I ain't wasting no more time

I just go straight ahead

My life is mine

I don't care just what you say

My life is mine

No one else can live instead

My life is mine

I’m looking forward to tomorrow

There’s nothing I should sorrow

Already I have found my way

I had so many lonely nights

Couldn’t find any guiding light

Now I know who can help me is only myself

I’m just standing alone

My life is mine

I don't care just what you say

My life is mine

No one else can live instead

My life is mine

Everybody has to find

Their own rules for making decisions

There’s no other way to break your shell

Take your time as much as you need

Everybody has to find

Their own rules for making decisions

There’s no other way to break your shell

Take your time as much as you need

Everybody has to find

    In This Place

    Shu Hakamada

Hello music lovers! I'm Shu Hakamada, a Japanese singer-songwriter born on 1959. I suffered hearing loss in 2006 and was forced to give up my career as a professional musician in my mid-40s. Since then, I was away from music for over 15 years, but in 2024 I returned with a new passion.

'Restart' represents my musical rebirth, featuring a journey through diverse melodies and harmonies - from upbeat anthems to soul-searching ballads. Drawing inspiration from The Beatles, classic rock and roll, and Motown, these songs explore themes of love, grief, and hope.

This album was created entirely at home, with all tracks played, recorded, and mixed by myself.

Creating 'Restart' was like rediscovering a part of myself I thought I'd lost. It's living proof that age is no barrier to pursuing new dreams. We were all born to run - to chase our passions, overcome challenges, and reinvent ourselves at any stage of life.
