Christopher Tin - Mado Kara Mieru (Lyric Video) feat. Lia, Aoi Tada, Kaori Omura

Mado Kara Mieru, from Christopher Tin's two-time Grammy-winning album 'Calling All Dawns'. Sung in Japanese, the song is a setting of five haiku about the seasons: spring, summer, autumn, winter and spring. Each verse is sung by a different singer in a different stage of their life: a child, a young woman, an older woman, a chorus of old men, and a child. The song represents the cycle of life: youth, old age, death, and then rebirth again.

E V E R Y time!!! Chills and tears , and I always lose it at minute 2:20 , it’s too beautiful!!

[@OreadNYC]

And/or brings tears to your eyes. The whole purpose of music (and art in general) is to communicate and express not just an idea or a thought but an emotion or experience in a way that goes beyond words so that other people don't merely understand it intellectually but resonate with it almost viscerally. When a work of art inspires an emotional or even a physical reaction in someone (ideally, a reaction other than contempt!), it's done what it was designed to do -- and this piece has definitely done its job in terms of communicating the passage of time not only in terms of seasons but in terms of life as well as the apprehension which lurks beneath the awe we feel when we take time to consider the breadth of our individual experience.

[@mindflayer]

It always reminds me of my mother telling me Japanese myths and fables when I was a child. The older I get, the more those memories seem to grow in vibrancy.

I love this song🇯🇵 Christopher Tin has understood “Fuuryu(風流)”👍

[@axhist2421]

I’m in awe. Selecting haiku poems of the four seasons and enabling the listeners to view those scenes from a window frame is just a genius idea. The fact that you started from spring lyrics and finished in spring lyrics makes me think about the circulation of life and gives me a sense of Buddhism. You also inserted some words by a poet who eventually died from tuberculosis, wondering how many days are left for him, and it makes the peak of the song so powerful.

[@christophertin]

You’re a person who appreciates poetry! Wonderful.

At least for me, there is an incredible amount of depth and significance in this piece. It speaks not just of the cycle of the seasons but of the cycle of life and the vital importance of appreciating whatever moments of beauty we can find in it however fleeting -- because as the lyrics point out, our lives in the scheme of things are all too short and none of us know for certain how much time we might have left.
