Somewhere in the dark, I breathe
Calling out a name you’ll never see
The silence wraps around my skin
Like a memory too deep to leave
I walked the streets we used to know
Where winter lights would softly glow
The echo of your laughter stays
Like footprints time could not erase
I found the note you never sent
With words that faded, never meant
But in the crease, your warmth remained
A shadow that still speaks my name
And I still reach across the sky
To hold the stars you left behind
Even if the night won’t end
I’ll be waiting in the wind
Can you hear me through the rain?
Every drop still calls your name
In the hush between the light
I keep whispering goodnight
Even though you’re not the same
You’re the ghost I couldn’t change
I wear the smile you used to love
But now it’s empty from above
Your photograph inside the frame
Still knows the girl I never became
I try to speak, but words just fall
Into the cracks along my wall
If you were here, would you forgive
The way I learned to barely live?
And though the seasons keep their time
I’ve lost the rhythm of your rhyme
If love was all we ever knew
Why did I still lose you?
Can you hear me through the rain?
Does my sorrow sound the same?
In the echo of the sky
I keep asking how and why
Even though you walked away
You’re the ghost I couldn’t save
I would’ve burned the world for you
If you had asked me to
But some goodbyes don’t scream or cry
They just fall quiet in the blue
Can you hear me through the rain?
Will you haunt me night and day?
I still breathe where we began
Still believe in who I am
Even if we fade apart
You remain inside my heart
You remain inside my heart…

Echo of You
Justin Otani
Unspoken words, love that slipped away, memories that linger in silence.
This album is a heartfelt collection of emotional, melancholic, and romantic ballads.
With gentle piano melodies, cinematic strings, and delicate female vocal's harmonies, each track captures a different shade of longing and tenderness.
It's a musical diary for anyone who has ever loved, lost, or held onto feelings they couldn't express.
Let this album be the light that softly illuminates your quietest memories-and the warmth that stays, even after the song fades.
