Formed on their front porch in early 2015 by frontman Aidan Hall, and lead guitarist, Landen Gruszewski, Something Else quickly blossomed into much more than an acoustic duo. With the addition of members, Colin McMillen (bass), and Alex Dooley (drums), the band has truly come into its own, creating a sound that is aggressive, emotional, and unapologetic.

スピードにのって
Something Else Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

高速を下り車線走る街を飛び越す
車いっばいに響く仲間の声
ずっと計画してた海
なんで僕だけが運転
君と隣で目が合う
いいんじゃない！？
スピードはスピードにのって
ゆるいカーブをすり抜けてく

スウィートなメロディーにのって
君が笑ってるミラー越し
みんなは気づかない
窓を開けて潮風が通り抜けた
パラソルもサンダルもなくて
どうしようなんて
最後のパーキングに寄って
買ってかなきゃ
冷えた缶ビールおいしそう
僕と君だけウーロン茶
それもなんとなくそれとなく
いいんじゃない！？
太陽は高く昇って
君はまた外ばっかり見てる
今だけは時が止まって
君が笑ってるミラー越し
一番大事なもの
こんな綺麗な君は誰にも譲れない

焼けたボンネットの上に
大きな雲の影が映る
カーブを曲がればビーチが見えるよ
スカートが水着になって
砂混じりのまま飛びこんだ
忘れない夏になるよ
君に出会えた季節だから
はしゃぐ高い声で
「こんな夏は初めて！」
スピードはスピードにのって
揺れる波間に飛びこんでく
スマートなラインになって
君がまた僕に振り返る

一番大事なもの
こんな綺麗な君は誰にも譲れない

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Something Else's song "スピードにのって" (Riding on Speed) depict the exhilarating experience of driving fast on the highway, leaving the city behind. The singer describes the joy of being surrounded by friends, the carefully planned trip to the beach, and the excitement of driving with their companion by their side. They question why they are the only one driving, but find solace in the fact that they can meet eye to eye with their partner. The chorus conveys the idea that speed can bring freedom and a sense of adventure, allowing them to navigate through gentle curves and be carried away by a sweet melody. The singer acknowledges that others might not notice their actions, but they feel a rush from the wind passing through the open window. They mention stopping at the last parking spot, mentioning the temptation of buying a cold can of beer and enjoying a relaxing moment together with their partner, while everyone else is wrapped up in the chaos of life. The lyrics express the belief that this special connection with their companion and the beautiful moments they share are something that cannot be given away to anyone else.
