Greetings!
In the morning of May 17, I woke up hearing a piece of music. It went on for a long time. The music seemed cheerful and easy to hum along. I knew I had heard it before, but I could not figure out the title of the song. Later, I listened to some popular melodies on YouTube. I did not hear a song with the same musical tunes. I decided to let it go.
On June 12, I woke up hearing the same music again. It seemed to be a lighthearted song. What was the title of the song? Why did I hear it for the second time? This time I really wanted to know, but did not find a matching song.
On June 13, I used midomi.com and found out the title was Sukiyaki. I had heard the song before I moved to USA. I knew the title, but I knew nothing about its lyrics or what the song was about. Upon learning the title, I thought, "Sukiyaki is a Japanese dish. Why do I wake up hearing a song about Japanese food?" When I finally listened to the song (with lyrics) on YouTube, I laughed at my assumption that the song was about Japanese food. From the comments below the video, I learned the original title was I look up as I walk. In the English version, there was another title You Took Your Love Away From Me. I felt kind of funny and strange seeing the original Japanese singer sang the song with so much joy and cheerfulness. It did not seem to correspond with the lyrics. As I read more information about the singer, I understood it was his way of presenting songs. (By the way, thanks to the creator(s) of midomi.com for helping me to find the title of the song.)
Why did I wake up hearing this music twice? I did not know. Yes, I often looked up at the sky as I took walks in the school field. However, I was not in the mood as the lyrics described. Life is mysterious. I really could not come up with any logical reasoning for hearing the music upon waking up.
Well, I like the cheerfulness in the music. All is good.
Peace,
