Close to you
藤井 風 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you

Why do stars fall down from the sky
Every time you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you

On the day that you were born
The angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moondust in your hair of gold
And starlight in your eyes of blue

That is why all the girls in town (Girls in town)
Follow you (Follow you) all around (All around)
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you

A-a-aaa
A-a-a-a
A-a-aaa

On the day that you were born
The angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moondust in your hair of gold
And starlight in your eyes of blue

That is why all the girls in town (Girls in town)
Follow you (Follow you) all around (All around)
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you





Just like me (Just like me), they long to be
Close to you

風くんの手にかかると
魔法がかかって🪄
名曲が さらに魅力的に💫
“語り” のような歌詞になるのですね*

隣にいて囁いてくれているかのような
ソフトな歌声も ピアノのタッチまで
とても優しくて
じんわり涙が出ました。。(ノ_・。)

この先、どんなにあなたが世界に大きく羽ばたいても、心だけは あの空で歌う
鳥たちのように風くんの側に居たいな
☺‧₊˚ ·˚ ₊˚ˑ🕊♩

この動画を見た時、風君のために作られた曲だ!
って感動して大好きでたまらない曲になって
武道館で歌ってくれて
それから幻のcoverみたいな存在になっていたけど
今日上海公演で歌ってくれたことがとても嬉しかったです。
このタイミングで歌う事にとても意味があったと感じます。
あの頃の風くんは今海を越えこんなにも大勢の人々に愛されている♡
歌詞通りの人生✨
風君の居る世界はとっても美しいです💐
生まれてきてくれて心から有難う

懐かしい名曲🎹

風くんの声も優しい歌声も好きです✨ご家族で良い曲を本当色々聞いてきたからこそコレだけの幅広さで演奏も歌も歌えるのだろうな…と思います。


風くんの魅力は80代の方まで年代問わず楽しめる楽曲がこれだけ演奏できることも素晴らしいですし、色んな年代の楽曲を愛してきたからこそ、自然とご自身の曲に反映されているのかな。
どんな時代に生きた人たちの心にも響く歌詞と感性溢れる歌声や圧倒的な演奏とリズム感に
引き込まれていくのかもしれないです✨

こんな優しい風くんの歌に出会えて嬉しいし風くんの自分の言葉で伝えてくれるスタイルも大好きです✨ 

毎日YouTube聴いて明日も頑張ります✨ Love 🌏

I love the Carpenters. A true musician like Kaze will always gravitate towards a great and classic song like this.

ライブとかプロモーションビデオのように作られたものも素晴らしいけれど、音楽を愛し歌うことを楽しんでいる飾らない歌声が、本当に心に響きます。

ステージにいる風さんも、Youtubeで歌っている風さんも、純粋に音楽に真摯に向かい合ってて本当に素敵だと思います。この方の人間性も音楽に現れていて、私は魅了され毎日聴いてしまう。最近はカバー曲を聴く事が多いですが、勿論オリジナルも魅了されています。

「なぜ星が空から降ってくるの」のところ、ほんとに音がキラキラしてて、もう大好き。
何度聞いてもきゅっとなる。

This original version of yours, especially that piano solo you had, was quite possibly the most perfect and gorgeous sounding cover I’ve ever heard from Carpenters so far! That solo had me.

🎶That is why all the girls in town, follow you all around, just like me, they long to be close to you....🎶🎹 Oh, same... I love your version of this song! Am in love!🥰

ピアノも信じられないくらいの腕前で、そのうえ歌声も本当に素敵で..あなたの音楽が聴けて本当にうれしい。ありがとう✨

常々思うんですが、風くんの声は、ピアノととっても相性が良いなぁと思って、何度も何度も聴いてしまいます。どんどんステキになって、とってもかっこよくて、どんどん人気が上がってますが、私はこのYouTubeの風くんも、今の風くんも、そして、これから何年先の風くんも素敵だなぁと思いながら観続けると思います。
