Until the day I can no longer rememberback number
back number – Until the Day It Becomes Unrememberable (full)
When it comes to breakup songs, back number is absolutely indispensable.
I feel like the “breakup period” is exactly what the title of this song captures: “Until the Day I Can No Longer Remember.” As long as you can still remember, your mind keeps circling through different things—you laugh at the happy memories, and the painful ones and the regrets bring the sadness flooding back.
Little by little, with the passage of time, the wounds begin to heal.
But even if you forget everything, is that really for the best…? The muddled emotions that follow a breakup are expressed here just as they are.
Someday I’ll forget, and someday we’ll meet again.
This is a Saucy Dog track that dwells on the many different “somedays” that follow a broken heart.
It’s included on the mini-album Country Road.
Until the chorus, it calmly recalls memories from when they were together, but when the vocals swell in the chorus, vocalist-guitarist Shinya Ishihara’s voice brings an overwhelming pang of sorrow.
They wanted to stay together forever—those feelings spill over into the chorus, which uses so few words yet says so much.
And then, wishing for the day they’ll meet again, the song comes to a close.
This is a song by wacci that portrays the feelings of someone suffering from the pain of heartbreak.
Have you ever had the experience where the more you try to forget, the more vividly the memories come back? The repeated phrase “I want to forget the voice of the person I loved” carries a heartrending poignancy.
Released in July 2024, this track is wacci’s third love song release of 2024.
Actress Aju Makita appears in the music video, beautifully embodying the world of the song.
It’s recommended for times when you want to be alone with your sadness or when you’re trying to overcome the pain of a broken heart.
