The Gray Privilege ~Night of Iris~

This song is an intellectual, languid jazz ballad dedicated to middle-aged adults who are exhausted by the hustle and bustle of society and the obsession with "having to be understood by others."
The hazy, single notes of a piano with a deeply pressed sustain pedal, combined with the distant pizzicato of a viola, evoke a "gray space" reminiscent of a dim study during a misty rain. The lyrics depict an emotional shift: the protagonist, who has struggled with solitude over long (years) while failing to fit in with the surrounding (people), encounters the cool, powdery scent of Iris and transforms her sense of loss into a proud personal aesthetic. It is the perfect track for a rainy night when one wishes to block out the world and indulge in a luxurious, dignified loneliness.
