After my small modification, I must say, that's a beautiful album to listen to! |
OMG! I used to think BALLAD was bland, but not too long ago I was utterly obsessed! It's so gorgeous and all the details. I just adore when the music gets all calm before the last chorus and when the piano just accompanies Ayu's voice, and there's that part where the piano stops and it's silent and then Ayu starts back in and then the piano follows. I live for that part!
Back to LOVE again though, and Gloria: I love the song, it is my favorite as mentioned. Someone brought up how it has an "optimistic" feeling to it and that's exactly it! It gives off the feeling of "despite this, I will try with all my might to be happy. I know there are things I cannot control but I will walk forward with a smile" during the chorus. I have never gotten this feeling of "optimism" from an Ayu song before and that's why it sounds the most fresh out of the album tracks. However, her voice in the verses is horrid. If I hadn't known what the chorus sounded like before-hand thanks to that preview I would have been thinking "wtf is this crap" during the first verse. Her voice sounds really great when she can belt it out, but it seems so hoarse now-a-days when she tries to sing softer.
