Crazy Ken Band / Moving [MASSIVE 2009]

In contrast to their signature song “Tiger & Dragon,” this track exudes a refreshing vibe—it’s Crazy Ken Band’s “Moving.” As you pack up and your room gets tidier, you sometimes realize, “Wow, this room was actually this spacious!” The lyrics begin with such an everyday observation, yet they also touch on things that can make you unexpectedly sentimental: the memories crammed into a familiar room and how quickly time passes.

Once you’ve finished getting ready to move, why not take a breather and look back on the memories you’ve made so far?
