Among his many songs, this one ranks among the most upbeat and high-energy.

This track is a prime example of that.
BEAUTY & STUPIDhide
Even though it has a dark vibe, the song feels bright—that’s very characteristic of hide.
The ideas aren’t confined to any mold, with things like an acoustic guitar coming in partway through.
It incorporates so many elements of rock that I’d love rock kids to try covering it at least once.

From the very start the song is bursting with emotion, and the intensity never lets up until the end! The sudden shift in the arrangement in the latter half is also really cool.
The repeatedly sung lyric “You took the best parts of my life” is incredibly catchy.
