After NO FUTURE, I had high expectations for this song but once the preview came out on YouTube came out, I realized it didn’t meet those expectations. I liked the song a lot first listen but it just didn’t grab me like NO FUTURE or any of his previous works. However, when the full song came out I went through a sequence of thoughts: at first I’m like “zzzzZZZZzzz” then the chorus kicked in and then repeated in true TK fashion and I’m like “Well, it’s really pretty! But will this turn into another snowy kiss where the song never ends and drags on for forever?”

But the ending…. (excuse my language) fucking makes the song. I may be going overboard but I think it was brilliant. It took the song from a dark atmosphere to an optimistic one in one key change. Just when I was getting a bit bored with the song, they key change literally lifted my head up and made me pay attention to the song. And I felt it. I felt the song. Just like that it became one of my favorites on the album. This song is really well done. And the fact that it’s not overdone with grand sweeping gestures makes the song great. You get to feel it without much distraction. ------- 9/10

Walk

I didn’t hear Walk in full until the A ONE. I avoided it on Zutto… and I only listened to the preview once. I call myself holding out until the album but I had no excuse, this song is everything lol. A lot of people make comparisons to Anything for you, and at first I heard it too. But after listening to both songs in full I can’t hear it anymore for some reason lol. They’re both so distinct to me now that even though the chorus progression is exactly the same, one doesn’t come to mind when I hear the other. I don’t know what happened to be honest. All I know is that both songs are great, but Walk is better in my opinion. When she hits those high notes I feel my soul lift. I do have to admit, when I hear the very beginning, I start singing Virgin Road… I’m like wtf?! ------- 10/10
Sooooooooooo glad I'm not the only one I was beginning to feel like something was wrong with me. Music is very subjective as we have all said, however I found it hard to believe that pretty much no one liked these songs. The build up and layers are too good. I respect everyone's opinion I am just glad I'm not alone on this These are beautiful ballads Anything for you is like Who... ~episode II~ only better and Walk is like crossroad ~episode II~ maybe not better than crossroad but just as good. These songs are so gorgeous and heart warming.
