I hide my trembling face You can't find me out Cause I'll melt and disappear Ice, trembling ice Before you find me I melt and disappear into you You made me cold and warm It feels so dizzy You made me melt and frozen You know? Remember kiss is just a kiss, sigh is just a sigh Please stop trying to confuse me Remember kiss is just a kiss, sigh is just a sigh Please stop trying to confuse me Remember you can't turn back the clock The weather's growing warm You can't stop the melting ice Remember you can't turn back the clock The weather's growing warm I'll disappear in to you Am I melting? Am I weeping? All clear in your eyes So, am I melting into you? I’m your, it's your ice trembling ice

We like the stars We look the stars We are looking at the same place Star is like ice Ice like you and me You and I bowed It's only in awkward air Even the star by look cold It's just like freezing I lifted my head again And look at the sky I remember the moment we are twinkling twinkling Like those, star like ice Like those, star like ice Stare at me with shining eyes Hold my hands, like my icy hands You who love my natural appearance Your eyes, your warmth, and you, and you We like the stars We look the stars Ice like you and me Ice like you and me

There is limited time here And time will change the color Put the melting warmth of your hands Away in the bottom of my heart My dream has became a reality I knew the meaning of my life Yes, you sewed up my light and shadow together The second hand was ticking away long time You added me words of love Our wonderful time are surrounded with iced and warm light There is gentle time here And time will fill my empty heart The reason (why) I look up the night sky Because I want to look at the same moon

The Ice That I See(Feat. EXPCTR) 03:24
lyrics

Spinning head is spinning around A rainbow circle at the frozen table And she sleeps in glacier style Chilling and chilling with a glacier owner Someone’s taken soles for shoes So I can’t move round the moon Someone’s taken soles for shoes They got me crazy Who, where, and when, how do I care? The ice that I see with no heart, with no love Who, where, and when, how do I care? You got me crazy

Ice & Body Temperature(Feat. Nozomi Nobody) 05:40
lyrics
buy track
Hold your breath Look me close in the eye And tell me what's on your mind Let me feel all colors you see (You see) Everything around us will be all gone by someday So remember every little piece of me You'll never know that I cried that night alone In the slight gleam of dawn The little wound still hurts me sometimes (Somehow) No matter how close we get I'll never feel your pain And do you find it lonesome at all Like I do? If I could ever feel your heart If I could ever be your guard So you will never fall apart Forevermore Let us stay together when in pain So we can find a way in pouring rain It's okay to have some stain No need to refrain Anymore (I will be by your side So you could melt your ice)

about

Swimming Sheep has released a work under the name American Green since 2008 and produces dreamy electronic pop to chillwave sounds.
This is a conceptual album that depicts the world of ice photography he has taken and posted on Instagram over the years since 2015. In charge of mastering is IEDA from One Day Diary, who is also in charge of mastering for Au Revoir Simone from Rallye Label and the arranging of voice actress Kana Hanazawa.
This time, some of the vocal tunes incorporate interlude solos, and we have limited the timbre to using as much ice-like sounds as possible. In addition, the sound of the drum was made closer to a club-style sound by adding claps, snaps, and TR808-type sounds.

Pop songs, tropical tracks, and a "Chill Out" kind of vibe.
This electronic pop album from American Green, now as Swimming Sheep, conveys city pop in rock through electronica, with sounds resembling the extracting and crystallizing of minerals from the utopia Vapor Wave has been aiming for. This track, along with a fusion of songs and synthesized sounds reminiscent of Morr Music in the 2000s, beats that derived from R&B, and their elements are combined by a good melody into one big swell.
This album takes the package of the 80's atmosphere, attempted by Internet generation track makers such as Mark Redito, one step further.
Having noticed the beauty of the ice in my iced coffee at work, I wanted to express that there is beauty everywhere around us, even in those seemingly dull weekdays. This is why the album, comprised of seven original songs, is titled "WEEKDAY'S ICE".
Whether you are having a short break on a weekday or taking the day off to relax, I hope that you would enjoy the seven stories these songs have to offer with a cup of coffee in hand.
