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: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}}

{{#lyrics: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}}
