late autumn

This is a masterpiece by THE BACK HORN that poignantly and beautifully captures the late-autumn scenery.

It’s included on their indie debut album “Dokoe Iku” (Where Are We Going), released in September 1999, and features rough-edged guitar riffs and powerful drums that embody their original sound.

Masashi Yamada’s emotional vocals sing of life’s fragility, a sense of loss, and hope for the future through images of sunsets and cosmos flowers swaying in the late-autumn breeze.

Best enjoyed alone on a slow walk at dusk in November, when autumn’s end can be felt, this song’s heartfelt lyrics and powerful sound are sure to stir your emotions.

There is meaning in life precisely within the gritty, unglamorous parts.

And it makes me feel that I’m not being half-hearted right now—I’m still in the middle of moving forward.

The lyrics and the manly vocals give me courage.

This song, which makes you quietly heat up inside, is perfect for an autumn day.

THE BACK HORN’s “Hikari no Kesshō” is a captivating track with a sound that feels like it’s charging straight forward.

The bass lays down a powerful rhythmic pulse as its foundation, and the insertion of accent-like phrases further highlights the sense of momentum.

Because it moves quickly from the rhythm-keeping position, how firmly you press the strings becomes important.

It may be useful to practice keeping your plucking fingers moving evenly and pressing each fret securely with its own finger.

From THE BACK HORN’s albums prior to their 1st album.

If you listen closely to the lyrics, I think you’ll notice a powerful sense of standing up and trying to grasp something out of despair.

Their 1st album, “Ningen Program,” is also recommended.
