What do you think of Life?

So the song has leaked...
What do you think?

My opinion - the starting is soothing and the chorus is good - can pick up easily.
The ending.. well not that appealing compared to the intro and chorus.

I really hope masa can translate the song//
The song does make me feel a little sad...

hmmm...indeed it sounds refreshing as compared to her past songs...kind of short compared to her usual songs...and the ending part a bit weird...she is using "YEA YEA" in the song again...lol

*listening a 2nd time*

Very easy on the ear but I think her vocals are too overpowered by the instruments in the verses. Other than I love it

I also thought about "MY STORY". "Life" has a similar feel to "winding road" and "untitled ~for her~" (some parts of the arrangement remind me of the later). It sounds very much like spring. <3 I sure need some more listens to fully judge it, but I really like the bridge so far. It's been some time since she released such a calm song on a single.

nice and calm.

I'm not really used to such type of song, but it's nice. I like how it ends it gives me goosepimples!

It is a really beautiful song, the beginning guitar reminded me a bit of Heartplace!

I think it's abit short =/ ....and at the ending the song seems to be continueing but it's being cut off or something..maybe a life episode ll ? =p

Im think Life really sounds like winding road and i like both of them. It has a ''gentle mood'' to it i would get it a 7.8 out of ten.

It reminds me (now) of some older songs, like For my dear... style, or a lighter Heartplace, or a waaaay superior version of Replace

very refreshing... gets me soooooooooooooooooooo nostalgic. its that old-school ayu sound. it makes me flashback at my life, the people i've come across, those who never came back, those who left us behind... it's that kind of song... i could only listen to it every now and then. it gets rather boring... and makes me lose interest in doing anything but just lay down and think of life

I really have to agree with you about the song. It also makes me think of those who I've left behind. I know I'm going to sound like a loser for saying this but the song made me cry.

I absolutely loved the song. It's relaxing, sad and happy at the same time (just like what ayu said the song would be like ^^). And yes it seriously gave me a nostalgic feeling. (This song isn't good to listen to when your also viewing the 90's flashback thread )
