aiko - “Honey Memory” music video

Honey Memory, released in 2020 as aiko’s 40th single, is a song that plays like a monologue from a protagonist who can’t come to terms with a relationship that’s ended.

The protagonist had been cheating and coming home late at night, but after being abandoned by their lover, they now live alone in the place they once shared.

This time, they’re the one left waiting for someone to come home.

The detail that nothing tastes like anything they eat conveys their restless, anxious state.

It’s a bittersweet song of lingering regret about realizing the value of something only after it’s gone.
