Yorushika- 'Spring Thief' Song & Vocal Analysis

this is my favorite song of all time. what a masterpiece from start to end

I think the idea/phrase that it might be referring to is “mono no aware”. Wiki: a Japanese idiom for the aesthetic appreciation of impermanence, and both a transient gentle sadness at their passing as well as a longer, deeper gentle sadness about this state being the reality of life. My favorite band (they’re American) of all time has a song called “Mono no aware” ☺️

Suis melts my ears every time!
