A song that tightens your chest with its heartrending vocals.

The complex emotions of a man who’s been told it’s over are woven in delicate words.

They should have truly loved each other, but before they knew it, that love turned into hatred.

The song captures the fragility of such a romance.

Also talked about as an answer song to Atarayo’s signature track “I’ll Forget Your Quietness in October,” it was included on the October 2021 EP “Before Dawn.” It’s a bittersweet yet warm piece that gently accompanies those bearing the pain of heartbreak.

This piece delicately portrays the turmoil of a woman who realizes that every “word” from the lover she’s supposed to be in love with is a flimsy lie.

She wants to believe but can’t; she doesn’t want to lose them, yet being together only makes it hurt more.

These tangled emotions resonate alongside Atarayo’s urbane sound.

Released in January 2022 and included on their first album, “In the Polar Night, the Moon Remains Silent,” the song emerged from a collaboration with Junwaidan.

It’s a highly relatable track that offers solace to those exhausted by the effort of trusting a partner, and to those who had no choice but to part ways with someone they love.

If you’re struggling with a romantic relationship, sensing your partner’s feelings drifting away but not wanting to admit it, or have been hurt by someone’s misleading behavior, you’ll likely find this deeply relatable.
