A profound interplay of lyrics and melody that examines society and the individual.
An album by Nobuyasu Okabayashi. Based on folk music, it intertwines social themes and personal emotions, fusing profound words with lyrical melodies.
The strength of the lyrics and the richness of the melodies are impressive throughout the album. The arrangement, centered around guitar and piano, is simple, but brings out the power of the words to the fullest. Okabayashi's vocals are matter-of-fact yet earnest, simultaneously portraying a social perspective and human weakness. The recording is simple yet warm, with a sense of spaciousness. Each song takes a different approach, and the composition, which weaves together folk-like phrasing and blues-like rhythms, creates diversity. This work goes beyond the boundaries of folk music and deeply explores the connection between thought and music.
