[Songs with Great Lyrics] Masterpieces you’ll want to listen to while savoring the words that resonate with your heart

KBUMP OF CHICKEN

[High Quality Audio] BUMP OF CHICKEN “K”

It’s a set of winter-themed lyrics about a black cat who has been hated by people and lived in loneliness, but for the first time feels someone’s kindness and risks its life for another.

There are more than a few of us humans who carry the same kind of loneliness as this black cat, the protagonist.

Even for people like that, having even one person who stands by them—someone who stays close—might allow them to start moving forward again when they feel that kindness; perhaps this holy knight teaches us that.

No matter how much you’re despised, this song conveys the meaning of touching courage and kindness—the kind that lets you try a little harder for the ones you love.

Macaroni Empitsu “It’s Nothing,” MV

“I love you.” It’s not wrong, but sometimes when you put it into words, it just doesn’t feel right, does it? This is a love song packed with those inexpressible messages of love.

It’s a track by the rock band Macaroni Empitsu, released as their 10th single in 2021.

Starting with a laid-back piano sound, it unfolds into a blend of floaty atmosphere and grandeur, giving the piece a unique vibe.

And the lyrics—conveying the protagonist’s frustration of “Saying it out loud feels off, but I want to express it somehow”—are deeply relatable.

Hitoto Yo – Hanamizuki

Hanamizuki, one of Yo Hitoto’s signature songs, is said to have been written in response to the September 2001 terrorist attacks in the United States.

At first glance, the lyrics seem to focus on romance, but if you delve deeper, you may rediscover the song’s allure from a different perspective.

The hanamizuki (dogwood) flower is said to symbolize “permanence,” “reciprocation,” and “please accept my feelings.”

Sakura (Solo)Moriyama Naotaro

Naotaro Moriyama – Sakura (Solo)

Sakura (Solo), a staple as both a cherry blossom song and a graduation song, is a track by Naotaro Moriyama that you hear often when the season comes around.

Released in 2003 as Moriyama’s second single, it’s also one of his signature songs—so much so that it’s no exaggeration to call it a national favorite.

While it certainly works as a graduation song, it also gives the impression of gently turning the twists of human encounters—meetings and farewells—into a song that you can naturally and easily take in.

It’s a classic that will surely continue to be sung for years to come.
