This song poignantly sings of the nobility and loneliness of walking the path you believe in without being swept along by those around you.

Within a fable-like world, you can almost see a solitary figure breaking from the flock and aiming for the hilltop.

Atsushi Horie’s poetic lyrics, intertwined with a band ensemble that resounds at times fiercely and at times gently, delicately portray both determination and anxiety.

The track is one of the double A-side singles released in July 2011, and is also included on the acclaimed self-titled masterpiece “STRAIGHTENER.” Many listeners have likely felt on the verge of losing their sense of self within society or experienced loneliness.

This is a song that gently nudges you forward, telling you, “It’s okay to move at your own pace.”

It’s a masterpiece whose aching guitar riff and faintly melancholy sound resonate deep in your heart.

The world of lyrics penned in English seems to capture the seasonal shift from deepening autumn toward winter and the bittersweet feelings it brings, doesn’t it? You can almost see a quiet scene unfold before you—someone lost in thought as time gently slips by.

This track opens the album “Dear Deadman,” released in March 2006.

Rather than focusing only on the meaning of the words, it might be nice to simply surrender yourself to the atmosphere woven by Atsushi Horie’s vocals and the refined performance.

It’s a perfect piece for a night when you want to be alone with your thoughts.
