Album "Ysla" out 14.04.2023, Enja Records Yellowbird Records

"Is It You" is the first single from Yumi Ito's new album "Ysla" and deals with a broken relationship. It brings up the associated feelings of guilt in view of possible injuries, as well as self-confrontation and self-forgiveness. These two contrasts also meet on a musical level: after an opening full of longing, featuring a striking cello figure, halfway through the song it shifts into a driving groove, driven by Ito's piano playing, who for the first time has recorded all the piano parts on an album herself. All these elements make it clear that nothing is eternal, as much as it may seem so - which is precisely why it is a powerful realization of the continuously new.

Lyrics:

I fought with my own feelings
I gave you all I could
Don't blame it on my heart
I still feel you here with me

I never wanted to hurt you
I never wanted to hurt
I never wanted to hurt you
But I know that I did

I close my eyes and still see
Still can see your smile
Still can see your face
When I close my eyes
I can still feel your touch

Although you are gone
Although you are gone
Although you are somewhere else

- Vocal Improvisation -

I close my eyes and I can still see
Still can see your smile
Still can see your face
When I close my eyes
I can still feel your touch

Although you are gone
Although you are gone
Although you are somewhere else

Uuh...
