about

"What To Do Next" is a song about the answers that existed in me from the beginning.
A song of dream pop feeling with a middle tempo featuring a mellotron-like tone.
Overdrived guitar phrases are freely played based on simple drums, bass, and acoustic guitar strokes, And layered vocals and choruses are mixed relaxing harmonies on top of them. Also, the lyrics are deeply Interacted to the next song "Disney Girls" and include word play.
This work was composed around 2009. The first version is only violent-sounding guitar, vocals, and chorus, and since around 2016, it has been re-arranged and includes a mellotron, etc.

『What To Do Next』は最初から自分の中に存在している答えについて歌った曲。
メロトロン風な音色が特徴のミドルテンポで少しザラついたドリームポップ的雰囲気。
シンプルなドラム、ベース、アコースティックギターの刻みをベースにドライヴしたギターフレーズを自由に演奏し、その上にレイヤーを重ねたボーカルとコーラスの力を抜いたハーモニーを絡ませている。また、歌詞は次曲『Disney Girls』と関連を深めた内容で逆説的な遊びを含めている。
2009年頃に作曲した当初は暴力的サウンドのギターとボーカル、コーラスのみの構成のところから、2016年頃よりメロトロンなどを加えた編成にアレンジし直して現在の形に至っている。

lyrics

消えた今夜のほころび
ずっと前にも
呼んでいた その名を

見かけた時には消えてた
影の方から
呼んでいた その名を

遠ければ遠い程
気づいてたくせに僕ら

煮えたぬかるむわだちを
慣らすその日
呼んでいた その名を
