Winter is cold and a difficult season to live through, so I imagine many people don’t like it very much.

There are also those who are currently suffering in the very midst of winter in their lives.

This song, which expresses the determination to keep going while believing that warm spring will come, overflows with the anticipation of the spring that will eventually arrive.

What’s more, although the melody and chord progression of this piece by the master Michel Legrand sound very natural at first listen, it is actually quite a complex composition.

In summer I feel like listening to poppy, up-tempo songs, but come September I tend to prefer something more mellow and quiet.

A perfect piece for such a September is “Your Power.” Released in 2021, it’s a masterpiece by Billie Eilish, notable for her whisper-like vocals—her signature style—and a simple yet deeply evocative track.

The lyrics deal with the heavy theme of domestic violence, but because the focus is on the idea of how one uses power, the song feels less depressing and more empowering.

The music video for Billie Eilish, featuring CG animation by world-renowned artist Takashi Murakami, became a hot topic.

Murakami’s works that utilize Japanese animation are all simultaneously unbalanced and yet perfectly harmonious.

This MV is exactly that: despite the track’s heavy, weighty beat, the light-footed, dancing characters achieve an exquisite balance.
