Ah, another cover unearthed from the midst of a thousand WIPs...
This cover is late, late, late. The instrumental was done by October of... 2017. Lyrics were done soon after that. Mix was done by March-ish 2019 and here it is, two years later.
tl;dr I'm a mess.
But I'm so happy with the lyrics, the mix, and the instrumental. Yorushika's debut song's probably not as catchy as Say it. but it still reigns as one of my most favourite songs from their first EP, besides Clouds and Ghosts. Ngl, aside from Glens ( / gurenzu ) I'm a pretty avid Yorushika fan. Like, the only album i've been looping for the last few months is That's Why I Gave Up on Music -- not even Android Girl or ZUTOMAYO's new EP. I love them so so much and I'm very happy I get to cover this.
There are a lot of memories tied up with this song, including a broken friendship that may never recover in the near future. But as always, I'll leave the interpretation up to you guys :) Thank you so much for the support, see you all in the next upload!

✻ Lyrics ✻ (Credit David, Sayri and I please!)
Hey, hey
Though I try to speak, all my thoughts will never come to light
I’d just end up with my mouth hanging wide, that’s why
That’s why
Hey, hey
Even in the silence I know exactly what you mean
Eyes say all we really need to it seems
Even now the buzz in my head
Slowly eats away at all of the memories
But I know the things that you said
Every day was laughter when you were with me
I just wanna jump off into the sunset
High above the clouds and out towards the sky’s end
And beneath it all it’s fading so slowly
The town you had shown me…
It seems so lonely
Standing by my shoes a flower is blooming
Fire flowers filled the night with their booming
Maybe in the sky, I could leave behind my heart and its weeping
Summer days are all that I’m dreaming
Hey, hey
Is there any way I could start to think the way you do?
Hey, hey, wouldn’t it be great if I could?
Calm, rest
They don’t mean a thing, all my worries won’t just disappear
That said, shimmering the skyline is clear
Everything I’ve eaten away
Came at the expense of somebody else’s life
Even then I can’t find my place
Dreaming of the nighthawk that’s high in the sky
I just wanna dance away in the sunrise
If I could I know I’d wish to the night sky
Over time you’ve faded far from my sight
But my eyes won’t forget you
They just don’t want to
Underneath it all the flowers are crying
Fire flowers ringing out as they’re dying
Even just the thought of hearing the sound, it brings me to weeping
Summer pains are all that I’m hearing
Hey, Hey
Even if these wings take me far away into the sky
I’d say
That I still want you by my side, that’s why…
that’s why…
I just wanna jump off into the sunset
High above the stars now, hoping to end this
And beneath it all it’s fading so slowly
The town you had shown me…
It’s just so lonely
In the summer sky the flowers are blooming
Fire flowers filled the night with their booming
Thinking that the pain will never subside, the tears never leave me
Summer days are now but a memory

[@potatogodbob7690]

Just wanna say that I've been listening to this song for what feels like the longest time, and its really helped through a lot. It feels so nostalgic, and growing up made me a lot busier, so I often find myself reminiscing. Overall, thanks for making my school life before College and even now going through it feel special! I hope that life finds you well, as you've made it that way for me and a lot of other people out there on the net.

[@sujal4078]

I loved how this version is so soft, which in my opinion suits it better. I don't visit the Yorushika version much but I feel this cover gave the song what it needed: the soft and mellow vibes.

[@azrieldreamer]

It's always a good day when Rachie uploads!

[@coznow]

I listened to this song my freshmen year of college. I’m now a rising senior and hearing this cover just brings so many emotions. It’s like...positive nostalgia. Thank you, thank you, thank you for covering this!!! It brought tears to my eyes :,)

[@nocturne_interlude]

Isn't that linked with Bakudanma, by any chance ? There's a lot of similar theme in the two songs It's as if the two songs were talking about the same thing (the same person leaving, I guess), but Bakudanma is sang out of anger instead of the sadness shown here
