presentBUMP OF CHICKEN
A BUMP OF CHICKEN song that portrays a lonely heart trying to protect itself by keeping distance from the outside world.
The protagonist’s feelings as they try to isolate themselves by closing their eyes to the world are conveyed through Motoo Fujiwara’s gentle vocals.
Yet rather than shutting themselves away completely, a “present” from someone important serves as their emotional support.
Included on the album “present from you,” released in June 2008, this track is sure to resonate when you’re worn out from interacting with others or when you want to connect with someone but can’t quite take the first step.
