The Pillows; Hybrid Rainbow lyrics

[@goldencane9653]

My favorite, it reminds me of summer vacation as a kid, back when time seemed to move slow and I felt I had all the time in the world to think of the future, didn’t felt a rush, I could just relax and enjoy the moment. Discovering this on flcl during those type of summers made the show more rememberable.

[@nicke5801]

When you're on a bike, the ocean is a lot closer than you think. The autumns salt wind went right through into the back of my nose. And maybe it's because like Haruko said, my head was empty.

[@Obsidian_One1]

Nick QRED hahaha. I so remember this quote from FLCL way back. I think I have the whole 1st season on video cassette VHS.😎

[@tommytwotacos8106]

The universe lacks enough thumbs to turn upwards and present in order to adequately describe my approval of your comment. Don't let them iron the folds out of your brain and steal from you what it means to possess the agency and creativity one needs to engage in the only meaningful endevor available to every person ever born: the contribution to global human discourse an actual unique and meaningful thought.

Obsidian_One1 The Obsidian that makes you a cool kid

[@terrestrialgmusic]

It hurts too good.

Im a VERY safe driver!

[@patrickadcock453]

I don’t know why, but this feels nostalgic. It reminds me of summer afternoons when I was a kid and didn’t have a care in the world. When life was simple and easy. When I didn’t have to worry about tests or a job or other life problems. This makes me happy. Thank you.

[@Siddhartha92]

Patrick Adcock it's the pillows... A Japanese band made most famous from an anime about *growing up* a truly wonderful and amazing experience to be honest if you have the time to give it. " all capitals" FLCL [aka](Fooly Cooly)!!!

[@Basilisks666]

totally my thoughts. I love the pillows

[@bbokay2585]

Patrick Adcock yes god😩😭it’s just amazing

[@PH-ln4bt]

Me too patrik

[@HaruhiChan01]

This song always gave me vague feels of what it meant, but I was never sure. Seeing the lyrics in English, I'll make my own assumption. It's a vague tale of people making their own wonder and happiness in the face of hopelessness. It's looking at the face of a decaying world and still looking forward to tomorrow. It's making a rainbow from a prism. A Hybrid Rainbow.

[@nebulouscat2210]

Even we, who weren't chosen up till yesterday. Are waiting for tomorrow.

[@jeanfalconez9536]

Makes me feel Sadness and joy, just amazing song, im glad to be alive, and that the pillows exist. Thanks.

[@christianreed2157]

Life is beautiful, and The Pillows are magical.

[@jackalope2302]

Kokugatsu Beautifully sad.

[@LukePeiffer]

Never did I know the translation of the lyrics or what the song was about, but always shed a tear. His singing is just so passionate and sad as if he's searching for some happiness in tragedy. After looking up the translated lyrics I realized I wasn't far off from what I think the meaning of the song is. And now I have more tears to shed while I rock out.

[@surtur9861]

Loved that song since the fisrt time i heard it in FLCL all these years ago...It hasn't aged a day, and neither has my love for it.

[@smilleur]

This song without a doubt has the best sounding guitar of all time imo. This specific video has the entire track volume boosted and a little compressed and it just somehow makes it feel better. Random magic

[@PKSkyler]

one time about 5 years ago, I watched this video on my outside patio. I understood so much, broke down and really felt everything. it gave me and my life so much more meaning, and made things more clear for me. thanks for this epic video for this perfect song.

[@PKAlt]

The lyrics are so powerful in my opinion. They really resonated with me at a point in my life. The Pillows have some great lyrics

[@nebulouscat2210]

Idk I mean after you break so much there's just nothing left to break and you stop feeling it as much. Become hardened to it..less of a sharp stab and more like stubbing your toe. I couldn't wish a life like mine or someone else who's hurt alot on anyone. We all may feel we aren't deserving sometimes..and well that's up to you to determine what your worth is, but the least we can do for those who arent as fortunate is to make the best of it so we can enjoy them being happy for us:) I like it when you smile You know.. The smiles of people, they are precious fleeting things. A real true smile can heal almost anything. Make you feel full when you are empty like a good meal. Fill your heart with music like a cherished nostolgiac song. Its like.. Getting free bread to find out its stale Or the smell of chalkboard erasers Or waking up on Sunday to see its raining Or drinking the bitter soda because the sweet one makes you sad Or playing in a field with no grass just to make your hands dirty Smiles are much less dissapointing You know those things would generally be considered dissapointing...but people and their smiles are..well they are often disappointing too But much less so Nothing is perfect and even though we aren't special in this world we still look forward for seemingly no reason Even we who weren't chosen till yesterday, are here waiting for tomorrow Its because we seek a why. But really I think sometimes it's ok for there to be no why To simply do things without really knowing why.

[@linaor6921]

I believe that when we have been destroyed it is a perfect oportunity to build something new, even when we believe that we can no longer feel more or feel the least. In a personal way I think that our existence is something beautiful and although it may seem something that lacks meaning or motive, if we look at it as a bigger picture we can see how we are part of the cycle of life and a small particle in the vastness of the universe, our existence, even if it is simple and ephemeral, has its own magic being part of something wonderful as that, just like a pure beautiful smile. Anyway it's just a personal opinion.

[@Siddhartha92]

Will never get over just how adorable the animation is!

[@Odin50Cal]

This is a song about hoping that this beautiful world we live in, that is being destroyed everyday by just about everyone, isn't all there is. Such a great, saddening nostalgia inducing song.

[@AgentBO]

Such a beautiful song, unbelievable that The pillows OST for FLCL brought us some many amazing songs :')

[@maniacaldoomsday]

+AgentBO actually, the songs were written far before the anime was made, they just used the songs and the instrumental versions of some of them for the OST

[@AgentBO]

FLCL was just the medium that brought me there, plenty of amazing bands out there that I've never heard of. :)

[@МихаилМальчиков-у3ж]

I finally found this song after many years. Scene from FLCL where they ride bike in front of the ocean still give me warm feeling

[@Chddrchzz27]

I'm always apprehensive of translation but I trust this accuracy. Well done!

[@Siddhartha92]

2019 and still coming back to this song after a good day! FLCL is all you need sometimes!

[@rokuthedog]

And they fucked it up. Should have left it alone....

[@jacobbieker8874]

Is this your original animation? It's really good for an amateur with non-professional gear ":-)

[@SomeDudeInMyPool]

it is not mine, as stated in the description. I wish it was lol. I just did the video editing.

[@jacobbieker8874]

+Pyrodiction it said fan-made, so I assummed that you were reffering to the fact that you don't own the rights to the song, and you may have been portraying a non-original character. Do you know who did the animation? XD thanks for replying! nobody does that anymore lol

[@anonymous0s0egion]

+Jacob Bieker Look into flash animating. Animation can be really easy to do if you have some artistic skill and knowledge of software. Flash has been around for a long time so it has a lot of documentation. Just figured I'd throw it out there in case you yourself might be interested in learning since you seem to be slightly enthusiastic about this kind of thing. :)
