アルバム「Ten～天」の曲作りの段階でruiがこの曲を送ってきたときはワクワクした。メロディは超好きだったし、それまでfadeの曲になかったビートとダンスアブルなグルーヴは凄くかっこいいと思った。仕上げてる内にアレンジがどんどん曲の良さを上げてくれた。その上に歌録りの直前にruiが書いた歌詞は今でも強く共感出来るし、歌う度にグッとくる。
"Until the day I find my way out
I live to dream cause that's all I've got
This never ending cycle in life
Forever free"
PVも格好いい！初めてライブ映像をメインに使ったPVだからこの曲の良さはより伝わるじゃないかと思う。使われてるのは約2年前のワンマン @ 渋谷WWW と 初ライブ in NEW YORK @ Webster Hallの映像で、今振り返るとカナリ思い出深い。
When rui came up with this song during the writing phase for our album "天～Ten" I was stoked. Not only was the melody great, but it had a beat and danceable groove that we'd never incorporated into our songs.
Over the next few months, the arrangement took the song to a whole new level of coolness.
The icing on the cake was rui's lyric that he wrote just before I recorded the vocals.
Something about it still hits me every time we play this song at a show.
"Until the day I find my way out
I live to dream cause that's all I've got
This never ending cycle in life
Forever free"
The music video for "Ever Free"
is also AWESOME!
It was the first time we ever used live footage in one of our MVs,
and I think it really shows the different layers of the song.
Looking over the the footage now from our 1st solo show @ SHIBUYA WWW & our 1st show in NEW YORK CITY @ Webster Hall
roughly 2 years ago really brings back a ton of great memories.
