Language of Flowers (Mr.Children Piano)

When a romance comes to an end, songs that cheer you on and help you face forward are of course great, but there are times you just want to listen to a song that stays by your side and mourns with you, letting the tears flow.

This song is exactly for you in those moments.

The cosmos flowers that appear in the lyrics carry the meanings of “harmony” and “maidenly innocence,” but brown cosmos also have the floral meaning of “the end of love.” The end of love—and in a brown color we’re not very familiar with…

The sad end of a romance can make even brightly colored cosmos look sepia.

It feels like that sentiment is woven into the song as well.
