A Distant Voice/Chance Traveler

A Distant Voice/Chance Traveler, is a song created by Vella Wilde and her ex-boyfriend. In our reality, it was composed by Andrew Allanson, produced by Calum Bowen. Mika Maruyama wrote the lyrics and also provided the vocal performance.

Story

After the disappearance of her romantic partner, Vella refused to play live or release the song publicly. Due to legal pressure, Vella had to schedule a release of the song on May 22nd, 1998, plus a year-long tour promoting it.

Alex interestingly asks Vella if the male voice in the song was supposed to be her ex-boyfriend, to which Vella says that she didn't recognize the voice. Of course, the song we hear doesn't seem to have male vocals, implying the song the characters heard was different.

Lyrics

Japanese

瞳を閉じれば言葉などいらなくて
君と響きあう
くすんだ世界に光が差した
どうか永遠の愛に照らされたい
最後のその日まで
君のいない夜に戻れるほど強くなれない
穏やかにまどろむ
このままでいさせて

English

When I close my eyes, words are not needed
I resonate with you
A light shines on this dull world
Please let my everlasting love shine on me
Until the last day
I can't be strong enough to go back to the night without you
Slumbering peacefully
Let me stay like this
