about

[Omar]

Based on the story “The Seventh Man” by Haruki Murakami, also contained in “Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman”. The song’s short length was perfect to deal with this short story that affected me when I first read it due to its cold and dramatic approach. In what seems like a group therapy session, a man recounts how he witnessed the death of his friend (whom he calls K) when a typhoon hit the coastal town where they lived. This immediately scars the narrator, who ends up suffering from paranoia and decides to leave the town. It takes him forty years to decide to face his fears, and therefore K, by going back to the place where it occurred. Upon arrival, his friend appears as a bodily specter fused with the frightening waves that engulfed him. It isn’t just another story about loss and personal afflictions, but about facing those fears which we can’t let go of; in my case, my own fear of being swallowed by the sea, like K.

lyrics

Flashback – A typhoon just beat us.
K and I, we are in the eye.

The waves retreating,
I am fleeing.

K was swallowed by the ocean – While I watched it in stop-motion.

He's riding a wave,
Grinning at my own face.

Listen to the seventh man's tale – While his face is turning pale.

Approaching the sea,
Where dwells K.
