But I guess it would also be one of those songs that have a depth not many can appreciate nowadays. *sigh* No no, it's gotta be fast and it's gotta happen things every second, the voice has to sound different all the time, the lyrics have to be more interesting, there's gotta be more instruments and the melody should change more...
Not meaning to offend anyone.  Sometimes I just think slower songs like "Secret" don't get enough credit, just because it isn't the most noticeable or unique song, it doesn't mean it's bad. Sometimes I can't help but relate this to how some people can't listen to classical music, such as Mozart and Beethoven, and gotta have music where things happen more and go quicker.
But that's taste for you. Different for everyone so I just have to accept that "Secret" is to me a very underrated song.
And I'm going horribly off-topic. Anyhow, I believe someone said "crossroad" sounds like "replace" or "winding road" or similar; that does interest me a bit. I love both those songs too. I have a habit of liking Ayu songs everyone else seems to hate, and not be interested in some of the songs everyone else worships. |
THIS THIS THIS!!!! I love you in so many ways right now. That is ecactly how I feel about secret.
And classical music

Anyhow....
@all.night.raver: no. I still don't understand how it sounds more harsh than Because of You
And listening to the guitars in until that day it just reminded me of 80s rock or something
I think both songs are just powerful. Moreso than About You for example.
Idc what's wrong with the mastering compared to other albums. Mmmm...rock songs that are harsh. Maybe I listen to too much rock lately so I can't tell
Both songs have a lot more pop-influence thoughh

And alo @ayu-me: I think crossroad is along those lines. I can even feel a new dance coming on. Like. Its hard to imagine this anywhere outside of the encore listening to the preview
