Cherry BlossomNEW!Pom Pom Squad

Cherry Blossom

Pom Pom Squad, a Brooklyn, New York–based outfit, is a rock project centered around Mia Berrin, known for a sound that fuses the ferocity of ’90s grunge with pop melodies.

This song lays bare a tangle of emotions—lingering attachment and jealousy toward an ex, mixed with self-loathing.

The cherry tree in the title is portrayed like a nightmare image, and the sting that lurks beneath the beauty hits you right in the chest.

Included on the 2019 EP “Ow,” it’s an early masterpiece that has long been beloved by fans.

Its striking contrast between quiet melody and intense feeling makes it a perfect pick for nights when the wounds of heartbreak haven’t healed and you want to sit alone with your thoughts.

Cherry BlossomNEW!Scarlett Rose

Scarlett Rose – Cherry Blossom (Official Lyric Video)

Scarlet Rose blends classical and modern elements to create a dark, magical world.

She’s an alternative singer-songwriter with roots in the Spanish-speaking world, and her DIY approach—handling even the mastering herself—is a big part of her appeal.

Cherry Blossom is a track included on her 2017 release, the EP Macabre Dances – EP.

Despite the sakura title, the lyrics depict a story like a dark fairy tale, filled with longing for gold and crumbling illusions.

Its unhurried tempo and shadowy melody draw listeners into a mysterious realm.

It’s a perfect song for a quiet night when you want to immerse yourself in a story alone.

Cherry BlossomsNEW!The Horrible Crowes

The Horrible Crowes – Cherry Blossoms (Official Audio)

The Horrible Crowes is a project started in 2011 by Brian Fallon and Ian Perkins of The Gaslight Anthem.

This piece is included on their album Elsie, released the same year.

While the cherry blossoms in the title might make you imagine the cheerfulness of spring, this is actually a song that suits a nighttime drive or a quiet bar, with a clear blues influence.

The lyrics dwell on attachment to things that are fading and on heartache, and the raspy vocals cut deep.

Rather than flashy shifts, the arrangement invites you to listen closely—perfect for solitary reflection while gazing up at cherry blossoms at night.

A live release came out in 2013, too, offering a different kind of appeal from the studio version that fans will find irresistible.

Cherry Blossom ClinicNEW!The Move

Cherry Blossom Clinic

Hailing from Birmingham, England, The Move were a legendary rock band led by the eccentric genius Roy Wood.

Closing out their 1968 album “Move,” this track is a psychedelic masterpiece that contrasts beautiful cherry blossoms with the wavering of the mind.

Its sound—where lavish strings and wah-wah guitar swirl together—feels like a frenzied kaleidoscope.

The lyrics, set in a “clinic,” depict loneliness and delusion with a fairy-tale touch, leaving a striking impression through that gap.

In Japan, it’s also known as the B-side to the single “The Girl Outside.” It’s a song I’d recommend to anyone tired of typical cherry blossom tunes and looking to feel a slightly edgier spring.

It offers a strange experience where beauty and fear coexist.

Cherry Blossom LoveNEW!The Wailin’ Jennys

The Wailin’ Jennys – Cherry Blossom Love

Here’s a track by The Wailin’ Jennys, formed in Winnipeg, Canada, known for their beautiful ensemble work featuring three-part harmonies at center stage.

It’s included on their album Bright Morning Stars, released in February 2011—a classic that’s also known for winning the Juno Award in 2012.

While they usually build their sound around acoustic textures, this song feels fresh for its retro swing vibe reminiscent of 1940s jazz.

Despite the light, lively rhythm, the lyrics trace a bittersweet longing—waiting beneath a cherry tree for a lover who will never return.

As a tender yet bittersweet “sakura” song for grown-ups, it’s perfect for a quiet spring afternoon.
