SAUNA SONGDISH//

It’s a message song that likens a relationship with someone important to curry.
It’s a track by the dance-rock band DISH//, included on their 2020 mini-album “CIRCLE.” The relaxed, stylish sound is exceptionally easy on the ears.
In the lyrics, there’s a sentiment of “resetting your feelings by getting ‘totonou’ in a sauna,” where “totonou” is a Japanese term used to describe the pleasant, balanced state you reach after a sauna.
Give it a listen when you want to calm down or drift off to sleep.
