Melody is great!

truehappiness · #1 2nd October 2013, 03:35 AM

I remember being kind of lukewarm about it when it came out originally, but holy crap, I am falling back into love with Melody. It's probably one of the strongest tracks on LOVE again. Is it just me though? I feel like I tend to like tracks that have not much a fanbase, haha.

I also love Melody. It's kinda warm and bittersweet, but the music reminds me of her usual album track like meaning of Love and such nonetheless it's really sweet. I honestly love this more than Ivy lol

Another fan of Melody here!
Since LOVE came out, I thought Melody was my favourite between the other songs.
And I haven't changed my mind.

Looking forward to a performance of it~

I've always loved Melody since LOVE came out.

no really! i never dislike this song!love it to the bits since the very beginning

and true that her voice is what makes me love this song, its so so heartfelt and touching, i dont know the words to describe it but from the beginning of the song, her voice sounds raw and yet beautiful and theres a true honesty in it for me, which makes it suits the the bittersweet lyrics and melody of it

i still hope that i could see a real pv with a story line for Melody, the piano at the beginning is so beautiful that i always imagine the PV started with Ayu staring at a beautiful sunset and shes reminiscing her sweets memories with her loved one

*something like in Sunset~LiA~ PV ambience and feeling*

I just love the 'classic' Ayu feel to the song. It feels like something she would have come out with around ASFXX/LOVEppears imo.

**Yoake** · #7 2nd October 2013, 08:45 AM

^Yes, Melody is really Ayu classic.

Since the first listening when she sang it at HLS concert, I like it. It's really a sweet songs.

What?

Didn't she sing only a part of Song 4 u and Missing?
Or maybe she sang it another day? O_O

Ahh yes. Ia with what truehappiness said about it sounding classic Ayu, that's exactly why I loved it from the start. It's kinda nostalgic, yet fresh at the same time. Kinda why I love beloved too.

A preview with the PV was played in the arena before the show started.

She sang it, but not in the last day. You can download the live version here:

Melody was my favorite track on LOVE and is one of my favorites on LOVE again. I've always really liked it. It embodies the LOVE again feeling, in my opinion.

kagami · #12 2nd October 2013, 09:12 AM

I love it too! It makes me feel all warm inside and her voice is so smooth and lovely <3

xLuna&1LOVE · #13 2nd October 2013, 09:33 AM

I like Melody too! It has not really its best vocals, but it's such a sweet song!

Mirrorcle Monster · #14 2nd October 2013, 09:53 AM

Indeed it is a great song. I feel like if LOVE again would have been released 5 years before: with 2008 budget, great PVs etc would have been considered amazing, because music-wise it is epic. I already imagine the era:

Single:「You&Me/Missing」
Single: 「Song ４U/Tell All」
Digital Single: 「SAKURA」
Album: 「WAKE UP」
CD Tracklist:
1. Wake Me Up
2. Song 4 U
3. Bye-bye darling
4. Tell All
5. snowy kiss
6. glasses
7. Missing
8. Sweet Scar
9. petal
10. Ivy
11. task'n'bass
12. You & Me
13. SAKURA
14. Gloria
15. Melody

Tracks with PV
1. Wake me up
2. snowy kiss
3. Sweet Scar
4. petal
5. Melody

I wish more songs got PVs. Ayu doing an album where everything including interludes got PVs would be boss. (non-mini of course) Just once though.

Urgh I wait for that day to come. I remember when Kuu even did Introduction to Kingdom PV and it was simple and gorgeous. I know maybe Ayu wants us to imagine song without PV by ourselves / by seeing lives but it'll be nicer to see her personal take on it

Livey~ · #17 2nd October 2013, 12:10 PM

^ Oh, I see.. I was dying!

I really really really hope that she will sing it soon~

pimenta · #18 2nd October 2013, 01:01 PM

I really like Melody, and I absolutely adore the piano version of it

YuriChan · #19 2nd October 2013, 01:49 PM

I adore Melody!

marty · #20 2nd October 2013, 05:35 PM

YES, I thought I was the only fan of it in the whole world, cause everyone just crushed it when it was out! XD
I love it so much. It's so emotional and yet so basic and delicate, it's just a touch of a song! <3 Like Ayu is kind of collected and mature and composed, and yet so intense when she's singing it! For me Melody is more intense than Song 4 U: it's at the same level as Untitled for her... story 2.
