@TVENGE

@lilymuu

This has to be my favorite of Irys's songs so far. Aside from Irys's wonderful singing, the song's composition and instrumentation really pulled me in. The use of alternating 4/4 and 7/8 time signatures as well as full sections of 7 caught me off guard; it was a very nice surprise--not the type of thing I expected from a Hololive song.

Can't wait to hear more of Irys's songs!! Thanks to Irys and everyone else involved in making this song!

@redfield7106

Wow!!
Thanks for explaining it, I always thrown off rhythm around last part, now I know why.

@CeriseClementine

You should hear Marine's Unison if you're into this

@CeriseClementine

Also I hear the intro and the verses as 15/16 (sorry had lots of edits I have bad ears lol)

@lilymuu

​@@CeriseClementine I'll have to check it out!! Thank you

and really? That's interesting, actually. I transcribed the drum part and, from what I noticed, the hits seem to be a cyclical pattern that plays over the barline--I think something more like 15/16 played as a two-bar phrase.

The meter plays twice per phrase, which equates to a total of 30 16th notes: 16 (4/4) + 14 (7/8).
The beat is displaced by one 16th note during the second time (meaning the first note is anticipated), but the bar of 7 works as a turn around so it ends up starting again on count 1

oops sorry, I didn't intend for this to be so wordy

@CeriseClementine

@@lilymuu sorry I had to edit my comment multiple times cos my ears were betraying me haha but yea I hear the 15/16 at the start

@garrickschultz1506

Okay, this song is making the time signature nerd in me freak the hell out. How is she switching from 8/8 to 7/8 and back again so quickly without losing the rhythm? That's NUTS.

@FlowerTwig

The time signatures in this song has made me lose my marbles. I cannot wrap my head around the 15/8 in the verses nor the alternating 5/4, 6/4 and 7/4 in the bridge. I'm a huge nerd for musical theory so I can't let it go and just listen like a normal person anymore and it's making me go insane. I absolutely love this song so much though. Easily my favorite of the whole EP.

@Kurolaff

Can’t stop returning to this song.. it’s so well sung and executed! The time signatures especially, they’re really fun to count.

Really shows her skill as a Vsinger, being able to sing changing and additive time signatures so smoothly, especially the (3+3+5+2+2) groupings at the start!

(Singable?) EN translation

Redder than the sun at evening
Whiter than the sun at morning
Bluer still than deep indigo
Colors spreading out

Today's morning feels as though it's
further from me than yesterday
Melting before I can reach it
Sparkling rim of light

When I tried squinting my eyes to peek into this world
the only thing I saw was darkness, shadows, silhouettes
And when I reached inside
the only thing I felt, was mist floating in emptiness
I am sure it's still hidden away

I raced all the way beyond the far edge of the horizon
Chasing after that receding dawn of the next day
Stretching endlessly around, an incomplete panorama
Time is fluttering by fast, and I can't turn it back
But I will keep flying on
forever

The tints around me are pastel
There's a light spring in my step
The sky above me is so clear
I can't help but look


Today's dream feels as though it's
closer to me than yesterday
But like my longing, it ends up
fading out once more

When I woke up again, and turned 'round to look behind me
the world was still unchanged - deserted and silent
For now I choose to keep
holding on to my thoughts in monochrome

Time and time again, I imagine the future of my dreams
But the guidestones show a path that never seems to end
I'm running through a diorama that's still far from complete
Spread my wings and rise up in this lonely sky

These wounds and this pain and this uncertainty I carry are all a part of me
I tried what I could but never can seem to cut it all away

My little heart was wavering so anxiously
(Protect it with my delicate wings)
I exposed it and built a connection
(Keep it safe to prevent it from breaking)
But even so, the light in me
(The light I'm holding in my outstretched hand)
is still not dying out
(is still not dying out)

Time and time again, you've imagined the future of your dreams
So push on and overcome this endless night painted in gray
Reach out for the boundary

I raced all the way beyond the far edge of the horizon
Chasing toward that inviting dawn of the next day
I'm running through a diorama that's still far from complete
Time is fluttering by fast, and I can't turn it back
But I will keep flying on, forever

Spread my wings and rise up in this lonely sky

Seeing the usual face in the usual place
That is the only blessing I wish for

Some things will become different
Others will stay the same
But one thing's for sure, you see
Life keeps going on
(Life keeps going on)
