Can You Keep A Secret?

Utada Hikaru

近づきたいよ 君の理想に
おとなしくなれない
Can you keep a secret?

Hit it off like this, hit it off like this, oh baby
Hit it off like this, hit it off like this, oh baby
Hit it off like this, hit it off like this, oh baby (oh oh oh, la-la, la-la, oh)
Hit it off like this, hit it off like this, oh baby

ここからずっと送ってる暗号を
君はまだ解読できてない come on

伝えよう やめよう このまま隠そう
逃げ切れなくなるまで
信じよう だめだよ まだ疑えそうだもの ooh-ooh

近づきたいよ 君の理想に
おとなしくなれない
Can you keep a secret?
悲しくないよ 君がいるから
Can you keep a secret? Can you keep a secret?
近づけないよ 君の理想に
すぐには変われない
Can you keep a secret?
悲しくなると君を呼ぶから
Can you keep a secret? Or このまま secret? Oh

Hit it off like this, hit it off like this, oh baby
Hit it off like this, hit it off like this, oh baby (ooh-ooh-ooh)
Hit it off like this, hit it off like this, oh baby
Hit it off like this, hit it off like this, oh baby

側にいても 遠回しな表現探してる
迷宮入りさせたくないなら won't you come on? Yeah

かすかな物音 追ってくる moving shadow
ふりきれなくなる影
少しの冒険と 傷つく勇気もあるでしょ ooh-ooh

近づきたいよ 君の理想に
おとなしくなれない
Can you keep a secret?
悲しくないよ 君がいるから
Can you keep a secret? Can you keep a secret?
近づけないよ 君の理想に
あとには戻れない
Can you keep a secret?
おしゃべりじゃないと証明してよ
Can you keep a secret? Or このまま secret?

(Ooh, hey, can I take a time out to tell you something?
(But see, can you keep it a secret? 'Cause its guitar phrase makes me wanna)
Oh, come on

今までずっと秘密にしてた
誰にも言わないで
Can you keep a secret?
悲しくないよ 君がいるから
Can you keep a secret? Can you keep a secret?
傷つけないと約束しても
誰にも分からない
Can you keep a secret?
悲しくないよ 君がいるから
Can you keep a secret? Or このまま secret?

(La-la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la)

Can you keep a secret? (La-la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Can you keep a secret? Can you keep a secret? (La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la)
(La-la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la)
Can you keep a secret?
(La-la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la-la)
Can you keep a secret? Can you keep a secret? (La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la)
(La-la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la)
Can you keep a secret?
(La-la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la-la)
Can you keep a secret? Can you keep a secret?

    This is actually the first song I've heard from Utada Hikaru since I only recently got back into listening to Jpop, it's a really poppy and fun song. Not too much of a "deep" meaning to it, but I do'nt think the song writer wrote with a hidden message in mind. The video's really amusing as well, I didn't get the concept until near the end, lol

    I love Utada Hikaru, and this is an adorable song. My friend Hana, whose Japanese, gave it to me for my birthday last year about six months before she moved away, back to Japan. This was her favorite song, and I mainly like it because it makes me think of her.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
