Kafka on the Shore Song (Umibe no Kafuka uta 海岸のkafka完全な歌 )

[SangNamable]

I "liked" this song even though it wasn't that pleasant to listen to, just because I love the book so much.

This is beautiful ! I don't care that you are a man and plays the guitar instead of the Piano! Kafka on the shore is a strange beautiful book with so many hidden symbols and morals! Fx that he wrote about a greek poet who says that there isn't a "self" without an "other." But Kafka haven't got an other so he created this alter ego named Crow to be his other in order to create his self!

Sorry but when i think about this book i get carried away!

What i want to ask is: Can i get the tabs please?

[farfarawaygirl]

Nice, but I just can't get past a man singing it, and no piano... not really what I pictured reading the book. I pictured Miss Saeki singing like Kate Bush.

[strummerswansong]

@farfarawaygirl I totally understand. However, maybe gender isnt a big issue to Kafka :-) But I do agree, would be great to hear a piano version with a Kate Bush person singing.

its steeling not stealing though

[StrangePierrot]

I love that book. I amn't mad about A Wild Sheep Chase (not surreal enough) or Wind-Up Bird (ditto), but Kafka on the Shore was both beautiful and strange. This song is as beautiful as I imagined it to be.

[ShiningLighification]

First I was like.. Nah, aint that good. But as I kept listening to it, it's amazing. It's beautiful. I am reading this book, it's twisted, but still great. I think Haruki Murakami would be proud.

[PinkPpanter]

It's really very beautiful song. Great chords and great performance. listening to the song, I can feel the spirit of the novel. And, the song is quite avantgarde - worth the book.

[SeanTehNoob]

This book fucking sucks

[faumas]

im reading this book, half of it atm, i saw that song before but didnt listen only because i like that book very much and didnt want to disapoint from this song, but i listened it and it wasnt so good as i though about it.... maybe in japanese its much :)

[nohohongs]

Hi, after i read the book i made up a melody of it in my head too, and some of the parts are actually kinda similar to yours too hehe, except that your interpretation is slightly faster

i was wondering if you could possibly send me the score? im thinking of performing this song........

[TheSailes]

Nice song :D

[strummerswansong]

It's beautiful.  Listening to the Audiobook of Kafka on the Shore. The is beautiful as a open wound, bleeding in facinating patterns of subconsciense. Haruki Murakami is like van Gogh painting colours with words. This song gives me the same feeling of loss.

[strummerswansong]

When I listened to the book I felt that the completed song existed "out there somewhere", it was just that Haruki Murakami had omitted to reveal the melody. However, having arrived home a few hours after listening to the words for the first time, I picked up the guitar and there it was – the tune on which to hang those sublime words. I still feel that sense of "loss" that you describe so well, but a little less, having read your comments. Smiles

@sktlau1 Yes, miss Sieki would have liked this song. Avas she's dead....

[M4sterek]

@PinkPpanter thanks for saying it to those who haven't read that yet you moron

[PinkPpanter]

@M4sterek Hey. This's a lesson for you - read the whole novel before hanging in places like this. Yes, and sorry...moron

[pplareppl]

a beautiful piece, its beautiful itself as a song along and moves me ever more as I have read the book

[smithslover1]

this is really lovely, I'm reading Kafka on the Shore right now, and was wondering how this song would sound in real life. Great interpretation

[sktlau1]

Miss Seiki would have been proud i am sure. Great song, lovely chorus at the end.
