言葉を失った頃は
いつ頃の話だったような

原因はあるんだって
ある人が言ったっけ
でも
忘れてしまった
いけないかい?
いけないかい?

知らないでいることの方が
幸せなこともあるんだ
見なくてよかった
きっと
聞かなくてよかった きっと

でも
進むためには
必要なことだったんだ

大地よ
さぁ
息づく恵みよ
光が僕を生き返した
教えてくれたよ
頬をよぎった涙

余所見していたその隙に
見つからないように隠れてる
孤独なふりしたって
こうして土を蹴って
歩いてきたんだ ずっと

逃げないでいたかったんだ

風よ
さぁ
色づく力よ
自然に僕は流れ帰る
答えてくれたよ
空を放った自由

大地よ
さぁ
息づく恵みよ
光が僕を生き返した
教えてくれたよ
頬をよぎった涙

Every Little Thing

Every Little Thing (エヴリ・リトル・シング), often abbreviated as ELT or elt, is a Japanese pop and soft rock duo who originally debuted as a trio in August of 1996 with the single Feel My Heart. At the time of debut, the members were Mitsuru Igarashi, Kaori Mochida and Ichiro Ito.

The group was originally formed because Mitsuru Igarashi, who was a producer for avex trax at the time, was searching for a female vocalist for a duo. Kaori Mochida, who was a student and former member of the group The Kuro Buta All-Stars, had sent in a demo to Mitsuru and he had been so speechless by Kaori’s vocals, had asked her to join the group he was forming and she willingly accepted. Ichiro Ito on the other hand, was a friend of Mitusuru’s who conveniently, plays the guitar, was asked to help play the guitar for the first single; the track did so well that Ito decided to stay in the group permanently. However, by the time the trio released their third single, Mitsuru had decided to leave in order to produce songs for other artists under avex, and, as such, ELT became a duo, as originally planned.

Since Mitsuru’s departure from the group, ELT continued to release content as a duo and continued to succeed on the charts.
