Birth by Sleep Utada Hikaru: "Heart Station"

This is one of Utada Hikaru's, (the artist who writes the theme songs to the KH series), new singles that just came out. It is called "Heart Station." It's hard for me to explain, but it reminded me of the plot of BBS. You can watch/hear the song on YouTube if you search for it.
Here are the lyrics:

Rainy day that chills the skin
The two of us, not believing in this separation
The radio was playing inside the car

Saying goodbye is meaningless
If we're able to meet again someday
Don't you think it'll be a beautiful thing?

Are you able to hear my voice?
1 o'clock at night, on heart station
A dial that doesn't need tuning
A secret hertz
Are you receiving the frequencies of my heart?
Heart station of sinners
A secret only God knows
I miss you...

The more I think I need to forget
The more these thoughts remain

Even if we are apart
You are right here
In the middle of my heart

I thought I heard your voice
1 o'clock at night, on heart station
Two pulses, always beating somewhere
Are you receiving the frequencies of my heart?
Heart station of lovers
We're receiving a request again tonight
"I Love You"

Are you able to hear my voice?
1 o'clock at night, on heart station
A secret hertz that still connects us
Are you receiving the frequencies of my heart?
Heart station of sinners
A secret only God knows


So what do you think? Could this be a possible theme song for BBS? Or is it just another song?

 

It may be a song they wrote inspired by KH.

I don't know if its BbS's theme, but it could be KH related... meaning they wrote it with KH in mind, although never intending it to go into any game.

Like a fan song type, only they work for Square from time to time.

 

I think Utada edits her original song to work for the game, an example is "Passion." Some of the original lyrics had little to do with the plot, so some of them had to be cut or modified.
"Heart Station" just seems happy+depressing enough to be a song for KH. Her other new single "Stay Gold" reminds me also of nobodies.

Here are the lyrics to "Stay Gold":

Because I love you
You don’t have to worry about anything
My Darling, Stay Gold
Please smile innocently
Forever…

The young boy hidden
Deep within your eyes
Continues to entice my instincts

Aah somehow, let it continue
Good Luck

There will most likely continue to be
Sad things ahead of us
My Darling, Stay Gold
Because even getting hurt is important


Figured out a job
We can’t continue playing around forever
Sometimes it’s good to learn
Adult intelligence and common sense

Aah Tonight, let’s just say
Good Night

They say change is
A fundamental part of the human heart

But Darling, Your Soul
Will continue to shine kindly


Because I love you
You don’t have to worry about anything
My Darling, Stay Gold
If I can keep smiling innocently
Each and every day…

 

Stay Gold is an old poem... about adolensense... which is how I interpret the Utada song.

It was mentioned a lot of times in the story, "The Outsiders" it was even Ponyboy's inspiration to write the essay which ended up being the story.

And the outsiders suposed to take place in the late 50's... so its an old poem. Here is the original poem as its quoted in the book...

Nothing Gold Can Stay: Robert Frost

Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief.
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

The poem and the song are about the innocent age after you grow out of childhood, but before you lose your innocense, and become an adult.

After Johnny read it to Ponyboy, he said "I know its hard, but stay gold Ponyboy, stay gold forever..."

 

Heart Station: i love that song.. trying to buy it off the internet

anyways it may be - but i love stay gold too

 

That was very interesting! Thank you for sharing! That poem is probably what she based the song off of. Though I think the song has something else to it. "They say change is a fundamental part of the human heart, but Darling, Your Soul, will continue to shine kindly..." That's the part that really struck me as KH related, but it could mean nothing.
