Chihei

A heartfelt song that brings even forgotten love rushing back.
The time the two of them shared still lingers long after the breakup.
The park they wanted to visit together, the clothes that were never worn, the Christmas present that was never given.
"I can't pretend it never happened. I can't pretend I never saw it."
Et cetera pours these painfully real memories into a straight-from-the-heart vocal performance, backed by lyrics that are honest and unfiltered.
One of the most striking moments comes in the chorus:
"I counted the tears I shed through countless nights,
and turned them into countless stars
that rain down over your town."
She takes the tears she shed alone and turns them into stars, sending them all the way to the town of someone she can no longer see.
It's heartbreaking, yet somehow expansive.
And above all, completely honest.
Every time she sings "Goodbye, darling" or "I loved you, baby," it feels like the song reaches into your own memories and pulls them back to the surface.
It's not your love story, and yet somehow, it feels like it is.
That is the greatest strength of "Chihei."
What remains at the end isn't just the feeling for that person.
"The two of us."
"Those days we shared."
Rather than forcing herself to forget a love that has ended, she chooses to carry those days with her-to keep them as something precious.
If you listen, there's probably someone you'll remember, too.
etc. - "Chihei."
A song that brings the love you thought you'd forgotten back to you.
