hiro' - 44 ~God's Lonely Man~

Rock-ish tune. Arrangement, lyrics, song, everything (except for the image) by hiro'.

Originally sung by Gakupo. hiro' wrote on his blog:

僕が何十回、何百回と見ている映画「タクシードライバー」の主人公についてです。
４４マグナムについては、「ダーティハリー」の影響もあって憧れが強いのかもしれません。
曲と合わさって、淋しげな感じ、空虚な感じが出せていればいいなぁと思っています。

This is about the protagonist of the movie "Taxi Driver", a movie I've seen a million times now. The 44 magnum probably became a desirable object because of "Dirty Harry"...
Matching the lyrics with the tune, I hoped to create a lonely, empty feeling.

You can listen to the vocaloid version here (YT video).

44 ～God's Lonely Man～

真夜中のニューヨーク　走るタクシーはイエロー
待ち焦がれてる雨　"God's Lonely Man"

真夜中のニューヨーク　走るタクシーはイエロー
待ち焦がれてる雨　"God's Lonely Man"

やがて彼は取り憑かれたように
鏡の男に銃口を向け..

黒光るズシリとした感触　"44 MAGNUM"
そいつで汚れきった街に　風穴をあけるつもりなのか？

「俺にはいつも寂しさ付き纏う　この俺に必要なものはきっかけ..」

そして彼は取り憑かれたように
正義の名のもとに引き金を引く..

黒光るズシリとした感触　"44 MAGNUM"
そいつで汚れきった街に　風穴をあける？

黒光るズシリとした感触　"44 MAGNUM"
そいつで汚れきった街に　風穴をあけるつもりなのか？
　つもりなのか？

44 ～God's Lonely Man～

Mayonaka no NYUUYOOKU 　hashiru TAKUSHII wa IEROO
Machi kogareteru ame 　"God's Lonely Man"

Mayonaka no NYUUYOOKU 　hashiru TAKUSHII wa IEROO
Machi kogareteru ame 　"God's Lonely Man"

Yagate kare wa toritsukareta you ni
Kagami no otoko ni juukou wo muke...

Kuro hikaru ZUSHIRI to shita kanshoku　"44 MAGNUM"
Soitsu de yogore kitta machi ni 　kaze ana wo akeru tsumori na no ka?

"Ore ni wa itsumo sabishisa tsukimatou 　kono ore ni hitsuyou na mono wa kikkake..."

Soshite kare wa tori tsukareta you ni
Seigi no na no moto ni hikigane wo hiku...

Kuro hikaru ZUSHIRI to shita kanshoku　"44 MAGNUM"
Soitsu de yogore kitta machi ni 　kazeana wo akeru?

Kuro hikaru ZUSHIRI to shita kanshoku　"44 MAGNUM"
Soitsu de yogore kitta machi ni 　kazeana wo akeru tsumori na no ka?
  Tsumori na no ka?

44 ～God's Lonely Man～

New York, the middle of the night 　The speeding taxi is yellow
The rain he longed for　"God's Lonely Man"

New York, the middle of the night 　The speeding taxi is yellow
The rain he longed for　"God's Lonely Man"

In the end, as if possessed,
He points the gun at the man in the mirror...

The feeling of the black shining weight　a "44 magnum"
Does he intend to open up a hole 　in this dirtied up town with it?

"There is always loneliness whirling around me 　What I need is a motive..."

And then, as if possessed
He pulls the trigger in the name of justice...

The feeling of the black shining weight　a "44 magnum"
Will he open up a hole 　in this dirtied up town with it?

The feeling of the black shining weight　a "44 magnum"
Does he intend to open up a hole 　in this dirtied up town with it?
　Now does he?


Note:

1. The speeding / Hashiru - Literally, the line says "the taxi he's driving is yellow", but I thought that didn't have the punch to it.
