She Wrote Me A Lullaby

Utada Hikaru - Boku Wa Kuma



I listened to Heart Station a bit when it came out, and then stopped because - as we all can agree - nothing on it could touch "Easy Breezy." At the time, the meaning of this kindergarten song flew right over my head, which is odd given that 70% of the song's lyrics consist of the word "kuma." Kuma means bear, so the song essentially goes "something something bear, bear, bear bear, something something something bear." Which is pretty much what my daily life sounds like. So I join with Japanese school children, never-mauled-Hollywood-large-animal-trainers and Brian Bell (not that Brian Bell. Kuma-teki Brian Bell!) in support of this single. I'm in proud company.
