Bittersweet Memory

When my coworker plays random songs in the office, this particular song catches my interest

Yes, that song has my kriptonite, and not only that, it is also sung by my fav singer, HYDE (i know him from L’arc~en~Ciel)

Apparently, this song is also the opening of the anime Attack on Titan

01:59 – 03:09 my fav 😭

This song is in F major, so when that Bb slides into Bbm @ 00:20, it automatically catches my interest

Then, when the vocals stepped in, i immediately knew that was HYDE

But the best part is when the song takes a little detour to Ab major progression through Db @ 01:59

Ab major progression hit all the minor part of F major

It sounds so melancholy, so emotional, yet so hopeful, so majestic

It invoked my memory, a bittersweet one, the most precious moment in my life 🥹

I’m so happy, yet i cried 😭, I’m so sad, yet i celebrated 🥳

The lyrics are also beautiful

Thank you for creating this song Yoshiki-san, 心から感謝いたしております 🙏

It’s already become one of my fav songs

~Lyrics~

Like the scarlet night veiling the dark
You can hide your fear
Can lie, my dear
このまま 夢を見て
血だらけの翼 広げて

Like a fallen angel 時の風に
流されて 落ちてゆく
Into the starry night 女神のように
抱きしめて 永遠を
Fly into heaven

What’s the lie
What’s the truth
What to believe
In my life

See the flowers breathing in the rain
Try growing to the edge of light
It’s so far away to reach out to the sky
I’ll seize, I’ll seize the roses with my wings
We’ll fly

Like a Fallen Angel 時の風に
流されて 落ちてゆく
Into the starry night 女神のように
抱きしめて 永遠を

We’ll fly away
We’ll find a way
You can hide your fear
Can lie, my dear

We’ll see the end
We’ll be the end
抱きしめて
永遠を
Fly into heaven
