Over Drive is GARNET CROW's 31st single, an alternate version of which is the ending theme to The Lost Ship in the Sky.

Song info

Over Drive is GARNET CROW's highest-charting single to date, and has since become a staple of their live shows. In an interview, singer Yuri Nakamura told that the themes she was asked to write the song around involved "blue sky", "refreshing wind", "floating" and "up-tempo tune", so that the song would be very closely linked with the feel of the film. Eventually, she came up with five different songs. The stress of the hard work made her feel somewhat depressed, but eventually felt good as "Over Drive" became developed. She went on to explain that of all the tie-up songs she has written, this was the most detailed and specific request. The lyrics were to be simplified to allow young children to be able to better understand and sing along with the song. To aid this, some of the more difficult English words were changed to katakana. Yuri also jokingly said that if anyone were to leave the cinema during the credits, she would block the exit.

When asked if she would consider writing another movie theme like that, Yuri declined, because the experience is a very stressful one. However, guitarist Hitoshi Okamoto disagreed, so it is unknown if GARNET CROW will have another movie tie-up in the future.

The version of the song released on the single is not the same as the one in the movie- the film version is known as "Over Drive (theater version)" and was released only on the regular edition of the band's eighth album, "parallel universe". This arrangement is notable due to the fact that it begins with an acapella line, instead of an instrumental introduction.

Lyrics

RomajiJapanese translationJapanese

Kaze no oto dake ga
Karadajuu wo tsutsumu
Silent Kiss (oh-)
Yume ni nita kehai

Mune ga kyutto naru koto
Kimi to ita kisetsu
Sky high Blue (oh-) toozakaru

Tsugou ii Happy End
Sagashite mo iyasenai
Kokoro ga jiyuu nara tonde miseru

Joukuu mau mono tachi to Over Drive
Doko made mo aoi sekai ni itai
Kamifubuki no you ni tori ga mau kirei ne
Oikaze ni noru suriru mo
Mada minu ikisaki wo omou
Taisetsu na kitai ni kaete yukeru raise up

Nami ga kira meitara
Suikomaresou ne
Starlight Night (oh-) sora takaku

Chikadzuita Last scene
Mada ima tsukamenai
Futashika na mirai sae kokochi yoku

Joushou koi wa yuraide Over Drive
Me wo mite mujaki ni waratte misete
Marude kaze no you ni surinukeru kokoro ne
Motto chikaku ni itai to
Negau sora wa hateshinakute
Hontou no kimi ni deau hi wo matteru

Joukuu mau mono tachi to Over Drive
Doko made mo aoi sekai ni itai
Kamifubuki no you ni tori ga mau kirei ne
Oikaze ni noru suriru mo
Mada minu ikisaki wo omou
Taisetsu na kitai ni kaete yukeru raise up
Hontou no kimi ni deau hi wo matteru

It's just the sound of the wind
Wrapping up your body
Silent kiss
A sign like a dream

I feel a tightening in my chest
The season when you're here
Sky high blue
Going far away

A happy end under good conditions
Still searching, not yet cured
A heart with a sense of freedom can fly

High in the sky, things dance into over drive
I want to go to a world that's all blue
Birds flutter around like confetti
It's pretty
Get on a thrilling tailwind
Thinking of a yet unseen destination
These important expectations can still be changed
Raise up

The waves are glittering
Let's breathe in deeply
Star light tonight
High up in the sky

We've drawn close to the last scene
But we've yet to grasp it
There's something nice about an uncertain future

Rise up, love is swaying into over drive
Show me an innocent kind of laugh
Slip through like the wind
Your heart
I want to get closer
To an endless sky full of wishes
The day when we'll meet by chance
I'll wait for it

High in the sky, things dance into over drive
I want to go to a world that's all blue
Birds flutter around like confetti
It's pretty
Get on a thrilling tailwind
Thinking of a yet unseen destination
These important expectations can still be changed
Raise up
The day when we'll meet by chance
I'll wait for it

風の音だけが
体中を包む
サイレント・Kiss(oh-)
夢に似た気配

胸がキュッとなること
君といた季節
スカイハイ・Blue(oh-)　遠ざかる

都合いいHappy End
さがしても癒せない
心が自由なら飛んでみせる

上空舞うもの達と　Over Drive
どこまでも青い世界にいたい
紙吹雪のように鳥が舞うキレイね
追い風に乗るスリルも
まだ見ぬ行き先を想う
大切な期待に変えてゆける　raise up

波がキラめいたら
吸い込まれそうね
スターライト・Night(oh-)　空高く

近づいた　Last scene
まだ今つかめない
不確かな未来さえ心地よく

上昇恋は揺らいで　Over Drive
目を見て無邪気に笑ってみせて
まるで風のようにすり抜ける　心ね
もっと近くにいたいと
願う空は果てしなくて
本当の君に出会う日を　待ってる

上空舞うもの達と　Over Drive
どこまでも青い世界にいたい
紙吹雪のように鳥が舞う　キレイね
追い風に乗るスリルも
まだ見ぬ行き先を想う
大切な期待に変えてゆける　raise up
本当の君に出会う日を　待ってる
