river of tears

lately i do not sleep more than a few hours at a time.  i guess if i was really motivated i could get a lot of things done.  but, i am not.  i have been listening to some tapes i made while in Japan in Mar/Apr and again in May.  i heard this beautiful song this morning around 4am while listening to a tape from Minoh FM (Taki Taki Taki 81.6).  immediately i knew it was Yuki but i did not know the song's title.  finally (another finally) after several google searches i found.  it has a sad/happy quality for me.  Joy was the first song i remember by Yuki and that is still one of my favorite videos.  Yuki was a originally a member of Judy and Mary (still not sure if she was Judy or Mary) but i don't really know their songs.   Joy holds a special place in my heart.  and now so does this song . . . Prism.

did i mention that every morning around 5:15  i can hear birds singing?  and yes, i have recorded their songs too.  apparently they are in the trees behind my apartment.  i can hear them now.

gray again and it rained a few times.  we even had thunder which is rare.  めずらしい、ね。
