"Reading" by Kay-Ta Matsuno

I had a gig in Reading PA.

Even though I only had a couple of hours of free time before the sound check, I experienced the beauty of the city by just walking around. I saw a lot of beautiful Lutheran Churches/ Cathedrals all around the city.

It was stunningly beautiful but it was kinda sad that this city is so empty. Philadelphia used to be the capital of this country, and I heard it was known for a big industrial city back in the day. But now, it is so empty and quiet yet the class and beauty of the city still standing there still.

I came up with this tune inspired by a contrast between the elegance of the city and its abandonment. (No offense to the people in Phily... I am from Tokyo Japan living in Los Angeles)

It was like watching a withering giant tree. I could see there was a vibrant life there and people are still maintaining the city really good. But as the beauty of the city it is, I sense a little bit of loneliness, a loneliness not just from the city, but also from the way a life is. Nothing stays the same forever. So am I.. At least I would want to stay healthy and classy as this city when I get older. That's what I felt from this trip.
