apple pie

If you’re looking for a spring song that you’ll want to listen to in the spring breeze, I recommend this one! “Apple Pie,” included on Ryoku to Soiné Gohan’s 2022 album Shiki (Four Seasons).

The lyrics, written from a male perspective, evoke the everyday life of a wholesome couple.

You can’t help but think it was written for his girlfriend, and the melody is so easy on the ears.

It’s soft and fluffy yet still vows eternal love, which is totally heart-fluttering.

It’s also easy to sing at karaoke, so it might be nice to try singing it for a woman you like or for your girlfriend.
