#WillStetson #SpiritedAway #InochiNoNamae

Lyrics:
A cloudy trail above the sunlit sky
A neverending line that passes us by
Somehow knowing where it's going
Somehow moving and yet waiting
Gently guiding us to what it will be

As I take a shallow breath I dwell on memories
All the moments past and halcyon days so carefree
I'm remembering

So embrace the melody that will set your spirit free
Listen for the quiet voice that is echoing
The remembrances of old tell the stories never told
Think of summer's tender light, gentle radiance from high
Never forget what has been, what is to be
The name of life

A missing toy that has been left behind
A petal flurry scattered to low and high
Floating down an unseen river
Floating on as one wherever
As a duet of two voices fill the air

As I look back on the secrets and the joy and lies
Born from wishes in the universe from sky to sky
I am wondering

I'll embrace the melody that will set my spirit free
I can hear the quiet voice that is echoing
For our passion and our love overflows from up above
Cherish summer's tender light, gentle radiance from high
Always recall what has been, what is to be
The name of life

~ Lyrics if anyone wants them! ~

A cloudy trail above the sunlit sky,
A neverending line that passes us by.
Somehow knowing where it's going,
Somehow moving and yet waiting,
Gently guiding us to what it will be.

As I take a shallow breath I dwell on memories,
All the moments past and halcyon days so carefree,
I'm remembering.

So embrace the melody that will set your spirit free,
Listen for the quiet voice that is echoing,
The remembrances of old tell the stories never told,
Think of summer's gentle light, gentle radiance from high,
Never forget, what has been, what is to be,
The name of life.

A missing toy that has been left behind,
A petal flurry scattered to low and high,
Floating down an unseen river,
Floating on as one whenever,
As a duet of two voices, fil the air,
As I look back on the secrets and the joy and lies
Born from wishes in the universe from sky to sky
I am wondering.

I'll embrace the melody that will set my spirit free,
I can hear the quiet voice that is echoing,
For our passion and our love overflows from up above
Cherish summer's tender light, gentle radiance from high,
Always recall what has been, what is to be,
The name of life.

I'll embrace the melody that will set my spirit free,
I can hear the quiet voice that is echoing,
For our passion and our love overflows from up above
Cherish summer's tender light, gentle radiance from high,
Always recall what has been, what is to be,
The name of life.

it’s been a long, _long_ couple of weeks, and listening to the spirited away ost always feels like i’ve been wrapped up in a huge blanket. ghibli anything never fails to provide a whole lot of comfort in that way.
can’t wait to listen to this over and over again. thanks as always will <33
