Lyric

Time Goes By (Remix)

NEXUS MATERIAL

Late night breeze on the freeway

City glass is shining low

Headlights slide across the dashboard

Like a movie from years ago

I keep a tape inside the glove box

Songs I played when I was young

Every chorus feels like summer

Every drumbeat tastes like sun

Time goes by without a warning

Pulling dreams out with the tide

But I still hear that younger heartbeat

Riding somewhere deep inside

Let the ocean wind remember

All the roads I used to know

Every mile I left behind me

Still has somewhere left to go

I am older than my wishes

But the night is kind and wide

If I sing until the morning

I can keep that fire alive

Coffee signs are slowly fading

Rain is silver on the street

Someone’s laughter by the crossing

Falls in rhythm with my feet

I was chasing distant skylines

Thinking life was far away

Now I find it in the small lights

That were beside me every day

Maybe dreams are not a station

Maybe not a place to reach

Maybe they are soft reflections

Drifting just beyond the beach

How far must I drive tonight

Just to meet myself again

Past the harbor past the streetlights

Through the quiet summer rain

All the years I thought were fading

Rise like music from the blue

Every road I never followed

Still can lead me somewhere new

Turn the radio down gently

Let the dawn come into view

I have lost a thousand seasons

But I have not lost the truth

Let the ocean wind remember

All the roads I used to know

Every mile I left behind me

Still has somewhere left to go

I am older than my wishes

But the night is kind and wide

If I sing until the morning

I can keep that fire alive

    NEXUS MATERIAL

Nostalgic yet refreshingly new, this City Pop album blends the sophisticated atmosphere of 1980s and 1990s Japanese City Pop with a modern sound.

City lights passing by a car window, warm summer nights, the quiet feeling of the end of summer, and memories that suddenly return - each track captures a different nostalgic scene through mellow melodies, bittersweet chord progressions, and smooth, laid-back grooves.

Inspired by classic 80s and 90s Japanese City Pop, retro pop, and urban pop sounds, the album brings that timeless aesthetic into the present with contemporary production. Familiar yet fresh, the music feels like a memory from somewhere you have been before while gently leading you toward somewhere new.

Perfect for night drives, relaxing at home, working, studying, reading, spending time at a café, or simply enjoying a calm late-night moment. Its smooth and nostalgic sound creates an easygoing atmosphere for everyday listening.

A modern Japanese City Pop album filled with urban nights, fading summer memories, mellow grooves, and nostalgic emotions - music to return to again and again.
