Inside and Outside

It has become a rainy season series unexpectedly recent blog, today is about a song that reminds me of rainy days, as I feel that the mood is mostly influenced by the weather.

The theme song of movie “When Marnie Was There”, “Fine On The Outside”. Somewhat suddenly, this song remembered on rainy days, especially during the rainy season before summer. I think the melody and lyrics are suit rainy days.

Here is the lyrics.

Fine On The Outside
I never had that many friends growing up
So I learned to be
Ok with
Just me, just me, just me, just me
And I’ll be fine on the outside

I like to eat in school by myself
Anyway
So I’ll just stay
Right here, right here, right here, right here
And I’ll be fine on the outside

So I just sit in my room after hours with the moon
And think of who knows my name
Would you cry if I died
Would you remember my face?

So I left home, I packed up and l moved
Far away
From my past one day
And I laugh, I laugh, I laugh, I laugh
And I sound fine on the outside

Ha ha ha…

Sometimes I feel lost, sometimes I’m confused
Sometimes I find
That I am not alright
And I cry, and I cry, and I cry….

Ha ha ha…

So I just sit in my room after hours with the moon
And think of who knows my name
Would you cry if I died
Would you remember my face?

So I left home, I packed up and l moved
Far away
From my past one day
And I laugh, I laugh, I laugh, I laugh
And I sound fine on the outside

Ha ha ha…

Sometimes I feel lost, sometimes I’m confused
Sometimes I find
That I am not alright
And I cry, and I cry, and I cry….

Ha ha ha…

This is a theme song of “When Marnie Was There”, so that there is an impression singing the feeling of a girl of about 10 years old. That girl who likes books and always be alone at lunchtime and or free time rather than gathering with friends. She is not good at expressing her feelings, and people don’t know about her well what she thinks because she has few words. But she knows many worlds through books and has a wealth of imagination. Then, she sees this world calmly and objectively, face directly to the wonders of the world. And she always thinks about her mind. A girl with a mysterious charm with a dignified mature atmosphere. If I saw this girl, I have an image of her with such a beautiful intensity that I think that it is scared and may distract my eyes while being stolen from the straight and pure eyes.

I feel this song is a painfully beautiful song that expresses the feeling of that girl who is not “alright”. However, I think that there is real strength, beauty and individual charm for those who carefully work facing themselves, such as not being afraid of loneliness, accepting loneliness and feeling enough. And I like such people.

I think her tear and rain is remembered as an image of overlapping of rain, and together with the melody, this world suits good on rainy day. I think that it will be a perfect BGM to look at yourself slowly, how do you feel?
