Like everybody else, I’ve been going ga-ga over the cherry blossoms. But the spring didn’t begin and will not end with them. The plums always come before—and in May, yes, yes, the yashio <\/em>will be here.<\/p>\n

Well, will be where you can find them if you want to.<\/p>\n

And so many others.<\/p>\n

About a month ago, long before the\u00a0Yoshino buds appeared, I was having a smiley-face, “just look at that<\/em>“—meaning a sky full of cherry blossoms—sort of moment. I turned to Tammy Tam and said let’s write a song.<\/p>\n

\"150330_sakura3_600\"<\/a><\/p>\n

She said sure.<\/p>\n

\"150328_sakura_10_600\"<\/a><\/p>\n

About what? I asked.<\/p>\n

\"150330_sakura4_600\"<\/a><\/p>\n

She didn’t hesitate. About rainbows, she said.<\/p>\n

\"150328_sakura_8_600\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Rainbows Are You<\/p>\nhttp:\/\/persimmon-dreams.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Rainbows-Call-You.m4a<\/a><\/audio>\n

Doesn\u2019t matter if the clouds are gray \/ If blue skies stretch for miles<\/p>\n

Doesn\u2019t matter what the day is today \/ I just want to see your smile<\/p>\n

La la la la la la la \/ I just want to see your smile<\/p>\n

Smile like a star<\/p>\n

Star like a dream \u2013 amazing me.<\/p>\n

\"150330_sakura1_600\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Doesn\u2019t matter if I\u2019m big in the game \/\u00a0Doesn’t matter if\u00a0I\u00a0 win the top prize<\/p>\n

Doesn\u2019t matter if they know my name\u00a0 \/ I just want to look in your eyes<\/p>\n

La la la la la la la \/ I just want to look in your eyes<\/p>\n

Eyes like the dawn<\/p>\n

Dawn brings the day \u2013 out for me.<\/p>\n

\"150328_sakura_2_600\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Rainbows call you, rainbows feel you \/ Rainbows love you, rainbows are you.<\/p>\n

\"150331_sakura2_600\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Doesn\u2019t matter that I\u2019m getting old \/ Doesn\u2019t matter that I often feel fear<\/p>\n

Doesn\u2019t matter that my feet are cold \/ I just want to have you here<\/p>\n

La la la la la la la \/ I just want to have you here<\/p>\n

Here like the air<\/p>\n

Air like a hope \u2013 lifting me.<\/p>\n

\"150331_sakura3_600\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Rainbows call you, rainbows feel you \/ Rainbows love you, rainbows are you.<\/p>\n
