Lyrics

Snowfall

あとどのくらい埋め尽くせば
全てが変わる 変われるならば
僕らがそっと言う感じ

透けるレモンのような黄色の太陽
目を凝らせ 満たされたなら
僕らがそっと言う感じ

まだ自分を知らないような知ってるような
曇るガラスに繰り返しなぞる
僕らがそっと言う感じ 僕らはそんな風だろ

そっと そっと

あとどのくらい埋め尽くせば
全てが変わる 変わってしまうなら
僕らがそっと言う感じ 僕らはそんな風だろ

Snowfall (Edit)

Intro

“Snowfall” is a single by otom, released on December 20, 2018, written in the quiet that feels as if the sound of a snowy day has disappeared. It is otom’s first release since “Normalize” in October 2018. Tape-like, drifting guitars and soft, whispering vocals overlap like a small choir, creating a gentle, floating mood. Gentle piano phrases sit close beside them, adding a faint sense of space. The result is a calm, mid-tempo single that leaves a soft afterglow.

Note

This mid-tempo track features guitars that wobble like tape flutter and soft, whispering vocals layered like a small choir. It was originally written around 2009 but remained unreleased, and for this single it was rebuilt with new Japanese lyrics. The drums, programmed with a lazy, slow-moving beat, add a unique sense of drift to the song. The mix and mastering took time and effort, but the track was shaped carefully, detail by detail.

Outro

“Snowfall” is a song made to be heard on a quiet day when the snow is falling. It features the layered vocal work that is true to otom. Enjoy.

“Snowfall” is available on major streaming platforms such as Spotify and Apple Music, and high-quality versions can be purchased on Bandcamp.
