Serene and sweet autumn evening lyricismUNISON SQUARE GARDEN

It’s a song that seems to turn the quiet, faintly sweet, sentimental air of an autumn dusk straight into sound.

Created by the three-piece rock band UNISON SQUARE GARDEN, it’s a lesser-known gem for the autumn season.

You can almost see scenes that gently capture the tenderness we feel for the passing seasons and the fleeting beauty of a single moment.

This track is included on the acclaimed album MODE MOOD MODE, released in January 2018 toward the end of the Heisei era.

Though it has no tie-ins, its lyrical melody and Kosuke Saito’s crystalline vocals reveal the band’s delicate side.

Listen to it on your way home as the days grow shorter, or alone on a slightly chilly night when you want to sink into your thoughts, and it will slowly seep into your heart.

The music video uses live footage from Hibiya Open-Air Concert Hall, further enhancing the song’s nostalgic atmosphere.
