Precious Feeling - by Takesh (original song) | Folk Rock, Acoustic Ballad

I wrote this song back in 2004 when I was in China. The videos and photos in the video were taken in Japan, mostly in Nagano, Miyako Island and Saitama. You can listen to other original songs of mine in my first album "Civilisation" here : https://youtu.be/Ixdqb-G784o

The album is also available on Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer, etc here:

The song was inspired by my visit to and an encounter in Zhouzhuang, a town in Suzhou Province in China, famous for its water-town features with many canals, small stone bridges and ancient houses. The lyrics started flowing into my head while I was sitting on a bus leaving the town, thinking of the brief yet wonderful moments and encounter I had in the beautiful and serene ancient town - a memorable experience which was very healing for the broken state of mind I was in at that time.

Lyrics:

The road, tinged with red, stretches out to the hazy sky
Come across a river with gleams of twilight
Till the sun finally dies away

My eyes are fixed at out the window but catch nothing
Nothing outside my mind
Bright as the water, her smile is floating
And touches my heart

Light up my world with the hope for love
Let my heart be filled with the warmth she gave me
Good-bye my friend
You brought back the precious feeling to me
That I don’t want to lose again

Walking through cobbled lanes
Up on a tiny bridge
Like an angel in a play
Excited each time she took a picture
Underneath flowed bright water
Soundless as if sleeping happily in the sunshine
Then I felt my inside a bud opened once again…

Light up my world with the hope for love
Let my heart be filled with the warmth she gave me
Good-bye my friend
You brought back the precious feeling to me
That I don’t want to lose again
