Regrets
Kan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When the night was hard to sleep
いつからか
I was walking on the wind
ひとりきり
いまさら おそいけど
話してないことが 忘れてたことが
やまほどあったのに
つれて行きたかった
West Home Town
むかしはできたんだ Butterfly
東京18:00発の Wondering Flight
はじめて見た映画の Story
はじめてのバンドの
"Twist And Shout"
はじめて君とキスしたときの
Feeling, oh
When the night was hard to sleep
いつからか
I was walking on the wind
ひとりきり
いまさら おそいけど
言いそびれてたことが
かくしてたことが
まだまだ あったのに
本当は補欠だった Little League
靴箱の奥の Western Boots
君と会う前の彼女との Photograph
君につくってた
Christmas Song
君と会えなかった Valentine's
君にさよならを言った
本当の Reason, oh

いまさら おそいけど
大声で笑ってても
何かに怒ってても
君はもういない
And the night was hard to sleep
いつからか
I was walking on the wind
ひとりきり
And the night was hard to sleep
いつからか




I was walking on the wind
ひとりきり

When the night was hard to sleep
During a period when I couldn't get much rest at night

I came to recognize some things I had forgotten or neglected to say a while after they happened


There were so many things I had experienced and forgotten
I had a lot of memories that I had lost track of over time


But I wanted to take you with me
I wished that I could share these moments with someone, particularly the person who had left my life


West Home Town
The place where I grew up and where many of these memories took place


I could once catch butterflies there

Though I realized it too late

Even if I laughed loudly or got angry about something
Attempting to mask the emotions and memories that were still troubling me


You weren't there anymore

When the night was hard to sleep
A final reminder of the difficult emotional state I was in throughout this period


I was walking on the wind
Ruminating on difficult memories and emotions that continued to trouble me long after they occurred

「REGRETS」の動画がYouTubeで見られるなんて!
ありがとうございます!
この後のシングルが「愛は勝つ」ですよね。
まだ「愛は勝つ」が世に出ていない頃、有線(笑)でかかっていて、
あまりに素敵なので電話して“誰の曲ですか?”って聞いたっけ…。
“東京18:00発の〜”のフレーズがすごく好きで…。
「愛は勝つ」より先に目をつけていた(?)のが私の秘かな自慢です。

ここに書き込んでる時点で秘かじゃなくなってますが(笑)

KANちゃんとの出会いの曲です

アカン…泣ける…

どうぞ安らかに

@user-in5vk8nk7b

今56歳のオヤジの青春。若い頃今のかみさんと仙台のコンサートに行った思い出今でも心に残ってます!「本当は補欠だったリトルリーグ」あの頃ちょっとでも自分を大きく見せようとしてふかしていた自分の心にぐさりとささり、それ以来のkanちゃんのファンでした。こんなに早く逝ってしまうとは......kanちゃんは才能の塊でした。
御冥福をお祈りします。

洗練されたポップセンス、切なすぎる歌詞。愛は勝つが有名過ぎて隠れてますが、私はこの曲こそ、彼の代表作だと思っています。
名曲だと思います。ご冥福をお祈りいたします。

@user-id7vc7ek3b

kanのファンに悪人はいない。

@tigger1173

KANさん、もっと評価されるべきミュージシャンなんやけどなー。

@user-ge9rs6bh3w

時代的には、槇原敬之とかですね。
声が嫌いな人がいたかな。
いい曲しかないな。
雲と今も話してる

@fzakjzsnmhtfnm

@@user-ge9rs6bh3w この掠れた声が良いんだけどな。

@user-qm4uz7vx2j

ほんとそれな

@kayouTuesday

むしろ、歌手・ミュージシャンに評価されてますね。

@nonbilly77

ほんまそれ!
こんなレベル高いアーティストないのに!
でも存在はみんな知ってる不思議な方。
メディアの負の側面ですね、メディアの扱い方次第で著名人の人生が振り回されてきた。

でも時代は良く変わっていきつつありますね!
