Message From Above - official music video - Imari Tones

This is the 2nd single from our new album!
It’s a song full of fun and joy.

When someone is touched by LOVE, their life is never the same.They become a new person, and their life is transformed.
It’s a miracle.
This song is about the changed life. We play it with happiness and joy, and we’re sure you’ll feel that happiness too😊

For the music video, we used footage from our Osaka tour in September — street scenes and food adventures in Osaka.
Food, food, and more food! Basically, we just kept eating. Eating in Osaka, Yokohama, and Shonan.

In this video, we featured Marie, our bassist and the cutest girl in the world! (Do you agree?)
Because she is the reason our band Imari Tones came to life.
To me, she was the "Message From Above".

We’re thrilled to share this 1980’s-inspired pop rock song with you.
(Oh, and don’t miss the awesome Van Halen-style guitar solo😉)

Song Lyrics

"Message from Above"

Whenever I thought I’d had my life (God told me there was more)
Whenever I thought I’d worked hard (He told me to work even harder)
Hey God, give me a break, I’m just an ordinary man

Is there really a limit? How far can we go?
How many times does a man live and die in his single life on the earth
Hey now look around
We have come so far
I can hardly believe

Can I choose the easy way? (Because I'm an easy man)
I’m not looking for something better (Because I’m a happy man)
Never wanted to change the world, I just want to live my life
But you say I'm wrong

Can I do it in my spare time? (Because I'm a busy man)
I’m not giving up my freedom (Because I’m a lazy man)
Never wanted to go an extra mile for someone else’s sake
But you say I'm wrong
I can't believe it
Yes you have changed me
It was a message from above

Yes you have changed me - Now I can see
Yes you have taught me - Now I can sing
As long as you stay with me - Come on (Guitar solo)

Whenever I thought it was the end (God told me it was the beginning)
Whenever I thought I’d ruined my life (God told me it was time to build)
Hey God give me a break - I don’t know what you are talking about

I can build something better
Because now I’m ready
How much love does a man need to live in his short life here on the earth
Hey now look at this
We got so much happiness
I can hardly believe

Can I choose the easy way? (Because I'm an easy man)
I’m not looking for something better (Because I’m a happy man)
Never wanted to change the world, I just want to live my life
But you say I'm wrong

Can I do it in my spare time? (Because I'm a busy man)
I’m not giving up my freedom (Because I’m a lazy man)
Never wanted to go an extra mile for someone else’s sake
But you say I'm wrong
I can't believe it
Yes you have changed me
You were the message from above
