バラードです。
It's a ballad.
バラードですが、珠玉のクラシック曲を聴いているような感覚になります。初めて聴いたときは、アルバムの中の1曲。ちょうどいい感じで、休止符的に、リラックスできる曲調としてのアクセント。
「セントエルモスファイア」は「セントエルモの火」のことでしょう。知っています。子供のころに絵本で見たことがあると思います。大航海時代の物語だったでしょうか、荒れ狂う時化の天候の中で、マストの先端が発光しています。あの光、それこそがセントエルモの火。
セントエルモの火は、ふたつ現れると「嵐がおさまる」と言われています。航海士たちは知っていたのです。マストの先端には、ひとつだけの光しかなくても、別の場所に現れることもあるのだと。
髪の毛や指先でも、発光することがあります。絵本の中では双子の頭に現れたんでしたっけ。うろ覚えですが、そんなあいまいな記憶だからこそ、このゆったりとした波のような波長のメロディとともに記憶を揺らすのでしょう。
息抜きのように聞き流しているうちに、まったく別の世界を想像していることがあります。歌詞カードを見なければ、言葉を正確に読み取っていなかったかもしれません。断片的に歌詞が響いてきます。だからなのか、休止符もしくは静寂が、くっきりと浮かび上がってくるのです。なにもないからこそ目立つというか、なんというか。
海。波。でも、この想像が正しいビジョンなのかどうかは。
いえ、好きなように楽しめばいいと思います。好きなように感じて、好きなように聴いて過ごしていれば。それが、たとえアーティストの意図したものと違ったとしても。
ああ。そういえば読書感想文が苦手でした。小学生の頃の夏休みの宿題です。感想文どころか作文そのものが苦手でした。『好きなように書いていい』という文章作成は、どこにも存在していなかったような感じがします。じゃあ、いつから好き勝手に書いていて、それを楽しめるようになったのかというと。
「St.ELMOS FIRE〜幻の光〜」は、メロウかもしれません。が、とろけるような眠りというよりも、なにかを覚醒させるような静寂に通じるものを感じます。覚醒というよりも、呼び寄せるといったほうが良いかもしれません。
ざわざわとしていた胸の奥が鎮まり返って、これから何かを始めたい気分になります。いままでの自分の感覚とは異なる、でも未来の自分には似合うかもしれない、そんな新しい何かを呼び寄せてくる気がします。
It's a ballad, but it feels like you're listening to a gem of a classical song. When I first listened to it, it was one of the songs in the album. Just right, resting, relaxing accents. "St. Elmo's Fire" would be "St. Elmo's Fire". I know. I think you've seen it in a picture book when you were a kid. Perhaps it was the story of the Age of Discovery, the tip of the mast is emitting light in the raging stormy weather. That light, that is the fire of St. Elmo. When two St. Elmo's fires appear, it is said that the storm will subside. The navigators knew. Even if there is only one light at the tip of the mast, it may appear in another place. Even hair and fingertips may emit light. Did it appear in the twins' heads in the picture book? As I remember, it is because of such an ambiguous memory that it will shake the memory with this loose wave-like wavelength melody. While listening like a breather, I sometimes imagine a completely different world. If you didn't look at the lyrics card, you might not have read the words correctly. The lyrics echo in fragments. That's why rests or silence come to the fore. It stands out because there is nothing, or something. Ocean. wave. But is this imagination the right vision? No, I hope you enjoy it as you like. If you feel like it and listen to it as you like. Even if it's not what the artist intended. Ah. By the way, I was not good at reading impressions. This is my summer vacation homework when I was in elementary school. Far from being an impression, I was not good at writing. It feels like the sentence "write as you like" didn't exist anywhere. Then, when did you start writing as you like and enjoy it? "St. ELMOS FIRE ~ Phantom Light ~" may be mellow. However, rather than a melting sleep, I feel something that leads to awakening silence. It may be better to call in than to awaken. The noisy back of my chest calms down, and I feel like I want to start something. I feel like I'm calling for something new that is different from my feelings up until now, but that may suit me in the future.
