These Days (Essays in Song)

Yuuka Kurosaki presents These Days from the Essays in Song series.

This song is created to be listened to like reading a book alone.
It feels closer to a quiet monologue than a conventional song, meant to accompany moments when you are by yourself.

Lyrics are written by Naoko Date.
She captures fragments of thoughts and emotions that appear in everyday life and turns them into words without forcing them into a fixed shape.

The song reflects small regrets and memories that return unexpectedly, and the way those thoughts keep circling in the mind.

There is no strong conclusion or clear message.
The words unfold slowly, like a sigh that gradually takes form.

The past does not disappear, and there is no way to start over.
Still, this song shares a small decision to repaint the present, together with you.
