smokeSaucy Dog

Saucy Dog 2021.2.5 one-man live “send for you” ‘Smoke’ / 2021.2.6 co-headlining event ‘Revenge Episode “sugar”’ @ Nippon Budokan

This song by Saucy Dog, who have created numerous love songs up to now, is a lingering-love song told from a male perspective.

While it features the driving feel typical of a guitar rock band and a refreshingly exhilarating chorus that makes you want to throw your fist in the air, the lyrics themselves are incredibly heartrending.

It describes being dumped by a girlfriend whose feelings have gone cold, in harsh words that really cut deep.

If you empathize with the protagonist of the lyrics, your emotions get so shaken that you won’t even know what to do.
