while I agree Shiina's voice is simply amazing here, I also would like to comment that this is truly one of the most beautiful song I've ever heard...so full of depth & emotions...one of Shiina's (Tokyo Jihen's) best, in my opinion!
@stagleap07 - wow, that's amazing. =o that gives the emotions so much more meaning! where did you hear that? did she say it an interview? is there a translation of it anywhere? I'd love to read it
@WingsTM There was an interview on here with Sheena Ringo, I asked someone to translate. She saw the planes fly into the world trade center, and started having night mares of her son being drafted into the army and saw him in fall out shelters. She had gotten so upset she stopped producing milk as her son was still a baby. One night after having one of those dreams she sat down and wrote this song. It is simply a beautiful song!
1:30〜 のギターは、ピックの面を弦の上を滑らせているように見えるんですが、なんていう奏法でしょうか?

She puts on a splendid performance. Her voice is filled with the passion to match the profoundly deep lyrics.

「あと」はAfterじゃない。Scarです。
意味が全然違いますよ。

「夢のあと」とわざと漢字を当てていないのは、複数の意味を持たせたいからでしょう。歌詞のことばの選び方からして、平家物語の冒頭や松尾芭蕉の「夏草や つわものどもが 夢の跡」を意識しているのだと思います。その意味で、「夢のあと」の意味は、夢の痕跡(trace of dreams)から漂い出る儚さなのでしょうが、歌詞をよく読んで解いていくと、夢(みた世界)の後(after dreams)への希望につなげようとする意思も感じます。むしろ、この歌を作った※動機を考えると、この希望が大きいように思います。scar の意味も含んでいるかも知れませんが、個人的には scar と訳してしまう方が無理があるように思います。
※動機:音楽活動を休止して、子育てだけをこなしていた林檎があるときテレビでとても怖いニュースを見ました。人がたくさん死んだのを見て、自分にも何かできるんじゃないか。そう思ったので音楽活動を再開させました。
