Reflection Eternal by Nujabes ♪This Too Shall Pass

Have you ever cried over something over and over again?

Well, yeah I should admit that. 

I did. 

Nevertheless, I don't think that crying will help me to resolve my problems. I can feel sad but then I should recover. I found good advice that I should learn to keep going. "You’ll be hurt, you’ll be in pain. You’ll fall. That’s part of life. But as long as you get hold of yourself and get back up again, you’ll be fine. Don’t waste time. Don’t dwell too long on your mistakes. Learn from them and keep going. Life goes on." [Mufti Menk]

When I'm talking about that kind of problem, I enjoy turning my music on and listening to my playlists. One of them is a song by Nujabes. (Thanks to a friend's recommendation, I got to know him). 

I would like to share my opinion about one of my favourites songs from Nujabes. It is a song which is titled 'Reflection Eternal'. It is a Lo-fi (low fidelity) music.

I love its rhythm and melody. It's very calming and relaxing. 

Let's see the lyrics! 

♪

Hair piled up
Piled up high

Your hair piled up

Piled up high

You're a flower
You're a river
You're a rainbow  ♪

♪Hair piled up

   Piled up high

   Your hair piled up

   Piled up high

Through the song, he wanna say that we need to keep our heads up and don't let life get us down. Let's be brave, chin up, and get over it! We can do it! 

We also can say that every person has something inside. We need to embrace our full potential, so that we need to know ourselves better. 

♪ You're a flower 

Oh, flowers are pretty. They are also pure. Sometimes they aren't always flawless. Thus we're also perfect with our imperfections. We can't compare ourselves with others. We're unique. 

♪ You're a river 

What do you think when you see a river? Water flows fast and it's always flowing. We have to believe that this too shall pass. Nothing, good, or bad, lasts forever. No need to be worried about our problems too much. (Seems so perfect to be listened when we encounter a problem)

♪ You're a rainbow

Rainbow is colorful. We are always fascinated by its beauty. Just like rainbow that has many colors, Our good and bad days make our life complete. Everything can either be a blessing or a lesson. Oh yeah of course, rainbow is painted by God, so are we. We are created by God. 

Isn't this song great? 

その通りです！ 

In memoriam. 

"I'm an ordinary guy, " He said. Yet he teaches us a great meaning of life. 

I gathered some words from his fans. We all agreed that Nujabes taught us to accept who we are, have hope, be thankful for everything, don't be selfish, love your friends and family and treat your partners right. He also taught us that happiness can be found in the mundane, in everything we do. 

Rest in Peace for him. ♡
