The first time I encountered this song was during a music variety show when it surpassed Utada Hikaru's Flavor of life and was voted the no.1 hit song. I was like WTH, this type of song also can get no.1!? Anyway, after reading the lyrics, it does makes sense that it's no.1. The lyrics is beautiful. It went on to sell over a million copies in Japan. Quite a fleet for a single.
Lyrics:
Do not stand at my grave and weep; I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn's rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush, I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry; I am not there, I did not die.
