When I finished recording this song, I realized it was the sound I'd been wanting to create since I started making music. Probably before that.
I wrote this song when I was in Tachikawa, Tokyo. There was a picture of Lady Gaga on the AU sign at the center of the train station hub. The lyrics flowed from there. When I got home to Minnesota, Treble threw on the killer bass line & I arranged the raw track with Downtown Junkie. The result is one of my favorite tracks I've ever recorded.
LYRICS 'Unique Freak' [UltraOZU Original Song]
-CHORUS-
When a unique freak is at their peak, flying high & nothing you can do to tweak
When a unique freak is at their peak, the geek is chic in everything they speak
Shibuya, Shinjuku, Tachikawa, there's nothing you can flower on this power
It lives, it breathes & it has a vengeance, it wants a mother****in' sterling presence
-CHORUS-
Ghosting all the places you think you'd like to be
Well, nobody notices, so maybe that makes you free
Screaming only gets you hauled from the fray
And crying only makes the disappointment go away
-JAPANESE RAP-
Mirai no koto mietara, me wo shinjanai
Kono uta kiko etara, mimi wo shinjanai
Isshoukenmei hata raiteita, ore ga suru koto ga suki
Anata ga hantai shitara gomen, yo!
Ore ga suru koto ga suki
-CHORUS-
And how can words have meaning if they don't have definition
I'd like to think they'd understand, but it's only thinkful wishing
So, let it go & may you find yourself accepting all your fright
Laugh & make it happen, when you know it feels so right
