Red Thread – Kobukuro (Full)

It’s a winter-themed song by Kobukuro.

While many of their songs tend to compare romantic feelings to flowers, this one carries a mood of pain: the way the lover talks about someone they used to like makes that person seem like spring or summer, especially in contrast to the wintry self.

Many of you might have heard it covered by Yui Aragaki!

GLAY / Wings of Ice (Lyric Movie)

One of the songs chosen as the theme for the film “Wings Over Everest” is “Wings of Ice.” It’s included on GLAY’s 15th album, NO DEMOCRACY.

It’s a poignant winter song about continuing to share love with someone dear, even while seeing through their lies and recognizing that they possess a different kind of “happiness” that doesn’t exist between you and them.

The ending of the song feels as if it carries the wish, “If only the two of us could fall asleep like this forever.”
