I heard this for the first time, at my first job, on my first day, opening a coffee shop. It's one of the greatest memories I've ever had. Realising it's been almost 20 years just now is crazy.

Just popping in to say I had nearly the exact same experience, coffee shop and all, twenty years ago as well. I've carried this song with me ever since; it's so representative of such an important time in my life. My very favorite piece of music.

@@xinophobe wow I posted that three years ago! I still feel the same way, and I'm glad someone out there can relate so similarly. Now the song will be even more special. What a dream this world can be.

I don't remember how long ago it was, but I first heard this in a coffee shop too. I was a customer, and I asked the staff if they could find out what it was.

Same. Starbucks on just any other inauspicious day. Then this song came on and I learned first-hand that music therapy is a thing. Most therapeutic thing I have heard to this day. I just came on here for the headspace actually.

Ryuichi Sakamoto has had a bigger influence in my piano playing and composition than anybody else throughout my life, and this song specifically helped to shape my entire style. To this day, this is one of the most beautiful pieces I’ve heard.

After years listening to this, KZitem featured this piece again to me. Just hearing the news about Sakamoto too, never knew he's gone last year. Thanks for creating this piece and let us cried with your beautiful music. Too bad this song isn't available in Apple Music nor Spotify tho.

Detras de cada melodia nuestras mentes crean un mundo de vivencias, una abalancha de melancolia que nos emociona. La dimencion de la musica es hermosa. Y el compositor que hoy nos deja sera recordado por siempre..

Pale as winter light through branches where leaves used to grow Reflecting on the fields below Tell me, have you seen the child of snow? Heart that beats so gently in the place that no one knows Who could have guessed the door would close Tell me, have you seen the child of snow? Days filled with loneliness in white There is nothing but emptiness and silence every night And I can hear the heartbeat What is sadder than the sound of winter winds that blow Through icy moments lived alone Tell me, have you seen the child of snow? Let the angels of the sun light the pathway for the golden one Pictures of what might have been can thaw this world I'm frozen in Like a vision here before me from so long ago How can my eyes deceive me so Tell me, have you seen the child of snow? On the barren branch of winter buds begin to grow A blossom blinds me with its glow Tell me, have you seen the child of snow? Now I know my life is over Nothing left to show But I am ready to let go I have finally seen the child of snow Let the angels of the sun light the pathway for the goldon one Sow the seeds of what could be Deliver me before I sleep

This was originally composed for the movie of the same name. It starred the late Ken Takakura, who plays the role of an aging railroad worker at a train station that's on the verge of closing down.
