暗いくらい森の底に男はひとり住んでいた
寒いさむい洞窟の家 飢えにさいなまれて
廻るまわる記憶の渦に巻きこまれては嘆いた
「ここはどこだ、おれは誰だ
ここから一生、抜け出せないのか」
No, No 元気のないやつ No, No 勇気もな
No, No 気力がないやつ そんなやつは救えない
ああ 男は待っていただけさ 誰かが見つけてくれるのを
ああ それでは生き残れないな 傷だらけのからだを慰めて
月の光を追いかけていた 狼みたいに吠えてた
腕に巻いた時計は壊れ 竜頭も錆びついた
「熱い酒と煙草が欲しい できれば女を抱きたい
情けないぜ 冬の月よ お願いだ おれを助けてください」
No, No 挫けてるやつ No, No ごめんだね
No, No いじけてるやつ そんなやつは助けない
ああ 男の背中を突いたら雪の中に埋もれそう
ああ 今にも眠りにおちそう その凍えるからだをあたためて
暗いくらい森の底に男はひとり住んでいた
寒いさむい洞窟の家 飢えにさいなまれて
辛いつらい季節を耐えて雪解けの日を待っていた
「ここはイヤだ 俺はおれだ
ここから絶対 脱け出してやる」
そうさ 止まった時計を もう一回 まわすんだ
おまえに光をあげよう わたしの声が聞こえるか？
ああ 時間が流れはじめた ああ 澱みをぬけ出した
ああ 優しく柔らかい声が 森の中にこだまする
ああ まだ見ぬあなたをみつけた さあ このおれ受けとめて
ああ ずいぶん長い冬だった さあ あふれる このおれ受けとめて

Drifting
Iwashita Keisuke Sardine
I lived in Hamamatsu City, Shizuoka Prefecture, from 1989 to 1996 and worked for a manufacturer of educational musical instruments. As a professional instructor, I taught across Japan, arranged music, and wrote sheet music.
The songs written during those seven years all have a somewhat composed demeanor. The reason I gave the album the pretentious title 'Windsor Knot' was also a reflection on my days as a salaryman, always wearing a tie for work.
When it was released in January 2025, it was an epic work of over an hour with 18 tracks, but for this re-release, I have carefully selected 8 songs to present. I believe the album now has a more concentrated structure.
I hope listeners can sense the loneliness and inner struggle glimpsed behind the stylish front of a man reaching the end of his youth.
Artist Profile
Iwashita Keisuke Sardine
My name is Iwashita Keisuke, also known as Sardine. Over the 20 years from 1983 to 2003, there are about 170 songs that I recorded using multitrack recording by myself. From 2024 to 2025, I have been releasing albums that compile these songs in chronological order. Then, in 2026, I plan to release several best-of albums based on the significance of the songs and listeners' preferences. Sardine's music is diverse. It ranges from accessible pop to socially conscious message songs, from progressive constructions to punk subversiveness. I'm a formidable pianist, a mad synthesizer player, a halting guitarist, a tone-reading bassist, a loose percussionist, and a clumsy singer-songwriter with solo multi-choruses. All of these parts are integrated into one persona. A mixture of romance, cold-heartedness and passion, depicting incoherent anxiety and yearning for something unattainable, this is an oldie but an evergreen. Please listen to Sardine's expressive music.
