Are you sad? Gloomy? Do you feel blue-ish? Don’t do that!
Life is always full of beautiful things, but we forget that. Sometimes you need a nudge, to understand that life is pink and not blue.
Here there is one.
I discovered this video weeks ago, and it was love at first sight.
This young singer is Korean, from Seoul, its name is Younha (Korean: ???; ???; Go Youn-ha, Japanese: ???, Yunna).
The song came from ending song of Japanese manga Bleach, a beautiful manga and anime I started to read and watch just few months ago.
I found that I like some Japanese pop song, despite I can’t understand well words. This song in particular is an explosion of good emotions, and watching the video I was so surprised about how beautiful can be Asian video.
The colors, photography, scene, everything tell how life can be beautiful. I always watch it when I don’t feel very good, or I’m quite sad, or stressed. I guess it is much better than any pills you can take: music it’s better (and this is good music, at least for me).
If you are curious about what you listened (did you watch it, didn’t you?!?!?!) here there is a translation (original lyrics taken from here).

Younha – Comet [English]
Alone, I looked towards the sky and saw a comet,
Although the burst suddenly vanished in a moment.
My heart becomes hurt with thoughts of you,
Right now I want to be with you, but I can’t leap the skies so…Maybe if I could become a comet,
I could leap through the skies to you.
Whatever kind of tomorrow comes, since a comet is always unbreakable,
This feeling is strong.I don’t like it when it rains. When it was dimmed out,
I remember what you said, even now.
“In the night sky, after the rain, beautifully, the stars appear.”
Considering that, I’ve come to like the rain too…Maybe if I could become a comet,
The overflowing light will fall,
So whenever times are sad, the you who looks to the night sky
Will come to smile and, like the comet, want to shine more.What are you always fighting with on your own?
Being by your side is something I can’t do but…Maybe if I could become a comet,
I could leap through the skies to you.
Surely, without fail I’d reach you in this moment of light
And your now illuminated sky will revolve.
If I could become a comet,
Surely, I would rise by your side,
Whenever the time.
Do you feel better, don’t you?
