MOTTOback number

Motto

When it comes to back number, known for producing numerous love songs, it’s all about bittersweet unrequited love songs and breakup songs! In this track, the lyrics depict someone so desperate to be understood that their desire for the other person could be called obsessive love, to the point they can’t let go.

Such straightforward feelings can come off as heavy and, in some cases, might even get labeled as “mentally unstable.” Featured on the album “Love Story,” released in March 2014, this song might help clear your head when your partner’s behavior seems a little suspicious…

If you’ve experienced love, there are probably many parts you’ll relate to.

Shita

This is a yandere-themed song about dependence and unraveling.

My Hair is Bad is a three-piece band that sounds best when they give voice to a slightly frail, somewhat jaded male perspective.

The track is included on their fifth full-length album, “angels,” released in April 2022.

It depicts a man and woman who crave each other to the point of mad love and can no longer part, with lyrics that strike like a scream from the heart.

Even though they know it’s “not good,” they may be bound by the pure conviction that “there’s no one but this person.” If you feel like your love for someone might be getting a bit heavy, give it a listen.
