The song that comes after

back number portrays lingering attachment and regret after a breakup in unadorned, down-to-earth words.

“Ato no Uta,” included on their indie-era album Ato no Matsuri, is a hidden gem released in June 2010.

The lyrics describe the ironic psychology where deliberately avoiding reminders in an effort to forget only makes you more conscious of the other person’s presence.

By refusing to dress up the pain of heartbreak and instead depicting it as traces that remain in everyday life, the song’s words carry a wrenching sense of reality.

It’s a track you’ll want to listen to on nights when the sadness of parting hasn’t healed and memories resurface in unguarded moments.

If you’re standing still, unable to sort out a past love, this song will gently stay by your side.
