@DavidP https://budgetpixel.com/p/14151 Your post was wonderful, so I felt inspired to make something too. @CaylaCatz For lyrics, I think it’s best to change them completely and just borrow the vibe. Wagyu tastes great even if it’s not a famous brand, haha.

Lyrics — “Nippon, a cow with no sign” by @To4kawa
[Inst] (folk rock, dry mellow groove, 1970s soft-rock atmosphere, gently swaying acoustic rhythm guitar, light hand percussion, warm rounded bass, sparse electric guitar lines, intimate male vocal, dusty open-road feeling, understated melancholy, calm observational tone, no dramatic climax, natural live band feel, slightly airy but dry mix, reflective and plainspoken, gentle repetition, bittersweet warmth) [Verse 1] On the edge of Nippon in the morning light There was a cow moving slow, black against the white No gold mark, no name, no famous bloodline Just the frost on the field and the passing time People talked about brands like a holy thing Like a label alone could make angels sing But the grass still grew and the cold wind blew And the quiet ones chewed what the quiet ones knew [Chorus] I've been through Nippon with a cow with no sign It wasn't called Wagyu, but it tasted just fine No bright badge, no glory, no market design Just a cow in the dusk with no sign [Verse 2] Well the big names shined in the auction light And the buyers all smiled when the tag looked right But this one stood still with a patient face Like it knew there was no room left in that race It was crossed in the blood, so they crossed it out With a shrug in the pen and a polished doubt But the fat ran sweet and the red ran deep And the truth of the tongue is the truth you keep [Chorus] I've been through Nippon with a cow with no sign It wasn't called Wagyu, but it tasted just fine No bright badge, no story for the grand decline Just a cow in the dusk with no sign [Bridge] And the saddest thing was not what it lacked But the way the world loves what it can stack Name on a paper, seal on a crate Taste comes later, after the gate [Verse 3] So here's to the ones in the second row Never first in the sale, but too good not to know Not pure enough for the dream they sell Still rich on the fire and tender as hell Maybe love gets priced the same way too By the shine on the box, not the thing that's true But if you close your eyes when the first bite lands You won't care what was written by someone else's hand [Final Chorus] I've been through Nippon with a cow with no sign It wasn't called Wagyu, but it tasted just fine No gold crown, no legend, no perfect line Just a cow in the dusk with no sign I've been through Nippon with a cow with no sign Half in the shadow, half in the shine And the world loves a label, but the mouth knows the line Of a cow that was good with no sign
