Don't Let Me Go Front Cover

Lyric

Wait at Z bridge

Iwashita Keisuke Sardine

十代のころに

味わった絶望は

三十歳を過ぎても

未だに変わらない

くたばりかけの貨物列車が

のろのろと引きずられている

黒い塊が次々に

夕焼けに流しこまれる

そして俺はかなわない

思いを胸に抱いて

鉄柵を乗り越えて

ハモニカを吹いている

Z橋で待っている

きみが来てくれるといいな

人間関係を

希薄に感じると

原っぱに飛びこんで

土の匂いをかいでた

煙草工場の甘くて苦い

匂いが立ちこめている

痩せっぽち野良猫が誰かさんの

古靴を咥えて走る

そして俺は所在なく

紫に染まった

空を見渡しながら

林檎を頬張っている

Z橋で待っている

ここで頑張っている

航空自衛隊の

練習機が白い

雲を吐きだしながら

秋の終わりを告げる

操車場を跨ぐZ橋のたもと

線路際コスモスが揺れている

あゝそれでもやっぱり季節はめぐる

この季節を過ぎればきみはどこか遠い

そして俺は喋りすぎて

喋るのをやめ

かんじんのことだけは

口に出せずに、消えた

Z橋で待っている

どうか気がついておくれ

Z橋で待っている

きみが来るような気がしてる

    Iwashita Keisuke Sardine

"Don't Let Me Go" was released in September 1996 and is Keisuke Iwashita's only self-produced CD. Production began in April and took about three months to complete. All lyrics, composition, arrangement, performance, singing, recording, editing, and cover illustrations were done by Iwashita himself. My partner gave me appropriate advice during the recording, so I credited her with "directions." At the time, I didn't have a computer, so I asked Kojima Recording in Yoyogi to do the mastering and printing. I ordered 500 sheets and 5 cardboard boxes. I priced it at 2,000 yen, but only about 200 copies were sold. Afterwards, I handed them out to people (I still have about 100 copies left in my closet).
The following is a quote from Kazuhiko Yukikawa, which was published in the "Independent Edition" of "Music Magazine January 1997" (pages 266-267).
"Don't Let Me Go" is a CD containing seven songs, mostly played and sung on the piano. It has a smooth flow similar to the quiet songs of Elton John, Todd Rundgren, and Pete Townshend, an oozing pop sensibility, and a heartrending voice and melody that remain in your heart.

Artist Profile

  • Iwashita Keisuke Sardine

    My name is Iwashita Keisuke, also known as Sardine. Over the 18 years from 1985 to 2002, I recorded about 150 songs that I recorded over multiple tracks by myself. I will release these songs one by one in 2024. First, I released the anthology "Catchy 22" a collection of familiar songs, on February 24th. Next, I released the bitter-sweet second anthology, "Sardine's Confession" on March 23rd. On April 27th, I released a collection of socially conscious works, "21st Century Protest Songs." Then, I will release "50/50," a piano and vocal album, on May 24th. After that, she released her first collection of works, "Everything/Nothing," on June 23rd, followed by a gem of a collection of lyrical poems, "Don't Let Me Go," on July 15th, and "Cut 'N' Paste," a collection of controversial works. It is scheduled to be Released on August 10th. "Henshin" will be released on November 16th, where I attempted a love song. These are oldies but evergreen songs that depict a mixture of romanticism, cold-heartedness, and passion, as well as incoherent anxiety and a longing for something that cannot be reached. Please listen to Sardine's songs.
