Upstream Lyrics


Straight onto the beating path
Phase down into its aftermath
Kills me to find myself here at last
I blame it on my human side
I blame it on the other guy
I blame the stars on the boulevard
A perfect body, a perfect smile
The perfect lover impeccably in style
I used to be, I’d laugh it off
Now it’s just this joke I got
A halo promise in a sinner’s dream
The punch line is I always swim upstream
I blame it on my human side
I blame it on the other guy
I used to be, I’d laugh it off
Now it’s just this joke I got
A halo promises a sinner’s dream
The punch line is I always swim upstream, upstream

I used to be, I’d laugh it off
Now it’s just this joke I got
A halo promises a sinner’s dream
The punch line is I always swim upstream, upstream

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Tokyo born Akiko (Japanese: あきこ) started playing piano at age of 4. She started to listen to rock / punk music, when she was a junior high school student, & then began to take her interest in various kinds of music, including 70s disco music, 60s oldies, 50s rock + country and western. Above all those music, she was especially inspired by old black music like jive, jump blues & doo wop. At age of 18, she happened to listen to Sarah Vaughan & Ella Fitzgerald - thus, discovering jazz. Afterward, she started to sing as a professional at Jazz Club in Tokyo, when she was a university student.
