STAND BY ME (feat. FUROUGAWA)

Winter

It arrives suddenly,
and leaves, taking the cheerful spring with it.

What emotions do people feel toward winter?
Loneliness, parting, love
All these emotions are woven into the lyrics of Stand by Me.
Featuring Furougawa
Baruba slightly melancholic melody crafts
a love song for winter.

The inspiration for this song came to Baruba
while walking along the train tracks on a winter evening,
a melody floating to mind,
mingled with the overwhelming loneliness of living alone for the first time.
The first winter in Tokyo felt dazzling yet strangely distant, like someone elses story.
Completing the song alone felt too lonely,
so Baruba reached out to Furougawa, a fellow newcomer to the city,
and they created it together.

The core message of this song is this:
Life is full of partings and meetings.
Yet, the wish is that you never forget the process or the people involved.

Everyone falls in love. They hesitate, get hurt, or fail.
But its that very process that later becomes a funny story
or the strength to lift yourself up.
Please dont forget
the you who loved, and the one you loved,
those irrepressible, precious days.
