Morning Sun
清竜人 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Morning sun lights us
Every time that you smile
Morning sun watches us
Sometimes I smile at you

The sun rises slowly
In the cold morning of winter
I tell you my dream
You smile gently

Only time, only time, only time, only time

単純な繰り返しが
本当はただ大切で
気付いていないだけなんです

Only time, only time, only time, only time

An old woman waters the flower
I play the guitar and sing





Only time, only time, only time, only time

Overall Meaning

The song Morning Sun by 清竜人 speaks to the beauty and simplicity of life, capturing the warmth and comfort that comes with love and connection. The opening lyrics "Morning sun lights us every time that you smile" create an image of the sun rising and shining on two people in a state of joy and happiness. The next line, "Morning sun watches us, sometimes I smile at you" suggests a shared sense of calm and ease, as if the sun itself is witnessing the moments of their love.


The following lines, "The sun rises slowly in the cold morning of winter, I tell you my dream, you smile gently" set a peaceful scene of a cold winter morning, yet the atmosphere is softened by the warmth of their love. The singer and their lover are sharing a moment together, with the gentle smile the lover offers being a symbol of their mutual affection. The song repeats the phrase "Only time" four times, emphasizing the idea that time is precious and shouldn't be wasted.


The final lines of the song, "An old woman waters the flower, I play the guitar and sing" seems to suggest a larger message about the simplicity of life and how small, fleeting moments can be meaningful and beautiful. Perhaps, the old woman represents the passage of time, and the music played by the singer expresses gratitude for the present moment.

FM大阪のヘビロテで流れてきて、最初洋楽だと思ったのを覚えている。
ヘビロテってその通りほんまによく掛かるので、下手すれば嫌いになったりもするのだけど、
この曲はかかるたび浄化されるようで、聴くたび新鮮で、毎回ゼロのように好きになった。
その時もう既にいい大人になってたんやけど、こんな曲ってあるんや、って思った。
デビュー間もなくのライブにも行った。ほぼMCなしの、当時のイメージ通りのシンプルなステージだった。
なので、その後の彼の展開にどれほどびっくりしたか、当時を知らない方は想像してほしい笑
知らずずっとMorning Sunの感じで行くんやって思ってたって痛く気付かされた。
まさに思てたんとちゃう!ってことなんやけど、単純で甘い想像力が追いつかんくらい深い人で、
どの竜人くんもやっぱ天才で、びっくりさせられ焦りつつもワシの目に(耳に)狂いは無かったなあと
いつも密かに自負しているのです。

初めてau smart sportsのCMでこの曲を聞いた時衝撃は忘れられん。必死で画面下の曲名とかメモったなぁ。
課題に追われてた学生時代、課題中付けっぱなしのテレビからこの曲が流れてきて、あ、朝なってもーてる!ってハッとしてました。BGMがわりのテレビだったけど、この曲が流れるCMだけは画面見ちゃってたな。この曲がかかると疲れがふと少し軽くなる気がして。それからもずっとこの曲を聞くたび、夜明けの時刻の少しひんやり冷たい、爽やかな空気を思い出します。今でも大好きな曲。

発売当時、CDショップで視聴したときの感動と衝撃は忘れない
