about

'Meet The Sun' features Meanjin/Brisbane vocalist Shêm Allen, who has performed with Nonsemble, Skinny Jean and Yr Familiar. 

Shêm’s distinct, unguarded and unaffected tone is reminiscent of Jeff Buckley, and on this song he lends Shugorei an entrancing, expressive depth.

Nozomi Omote, the analogue/acoustic half of Shugorei, is the inspiration for 'Meet The Sun', a track that speaks to artistic risk and bravery. Noz immigrated from Japan to Brisbane, by herself and at a young age, to immerse herself in a new life as a musician and artist - a bold and inspiring undertaking by anyone’s standards.

'Meet The Sun' celebrates the risks artists take to pursue their dreams. Like many Shugorei songs, the message is delivered bilingually (here, in English and Japanese). It is also embellished by a lush string arrangement, performed by members of Black Square Quartet.

Get back
Get back
Let me go
I’ve gotta do this

Get back
Get back
Let me go
I’ve gotta do this

もう決めた (Mō kimeta)

ほらね できるよ (Hora ne dekiru yo)

You can’t stop me
I’ve already gone
See how I won’t be drowned
Or burned in the long night
By now I’ve met the sun

You can’t stop me
I’ve already gone
See how I won’t be drowned
Or burned in the long night
By now I’ve met the sun
Met the sun
