God Does Not Play Dice “Yoru-Naga Uta” [Official Lyric Video]

Yona-ga Uta depicts a bittersweet state of mind—tears welling up whenever a love you can’t forget comes to mind.

The melody alone can move you to tears, but the lyrics, which express the longing to touch the one you love just once more, are truly painful and heartrending.

The way the lovers part can be interpreted in many ways, so it may resonate with many people who are currently in unrequited love.

Although it is a heartbreak song that laments no longer being able to see the person you love, it’s also a track I’d recommend to anyone who can’t give up on their love.
