it's a nice song, i like it a whole lot better than progress... but the melody doesn't stick as strong as her much older ballads. it sounds a bit shallow and boring, another sweet season mixed with days trying hard to retrieve that together when vibe but fails to.

i feel she's recycling a lot of her sounds. but this one is the nicest ballad i've heard in a long while since together when. it actually helps me look more forward to FIVE... b/c progress definitely didn't do that for me

Not a 'repeatable' kind of song, but I like it! It's the kind of song I'd want to listen to after I haven't heard it for awhile....sort of like Sweet Seasons.

One thing annoys me though....sometimes I can't tell if it's already the chorus loll. The hook after the first verse doesn't really like...pop out, so I end up thinking the 1st chorus is still part of the first verse. It's most likely the quality of the song (...or I hope it is...)...hopefully the HQ is a little better sounding.

Can't wait to hear it orchestrated though ^_^! IMO it definitely sounds like an 'orchestra' type song. It can do without the boring drums/guitars.

yeah I don't hear this either. What's with some ahs members comparing her new songs to old ones that are soo different lately lol? A couple people said progress sounded like GREEN as well and I'm just like.. wat.

beloved has grown on me though. I was stressed out earlier and listened to it and it calmed me down

Everytime she gets to the chorus, I start singing "arigatou tte..." in my head. So yeah, there is something reminiscent of Together when... in the song for me aswell.

the instrumentation is lacking?
i was waiting for something to happen?
it seems to be boring?

we are listening the same song really?
i think this song have the power of "HEAVEN" and the potencial to be the new "Days"...i'm very very happy and surprised about the song

I listened to it a good five times one day, and I forgot the melody the next.

People thought "You were..." was generic too, but the melody really stuck with me in ways that "beloved" doesn't.

beloved would fit in with a full length album instead of a mini-album. I expect refined quality in a mini-album.

Not an epic ballad, a little generic sounding to me...but Im currently in love with the chorus . I absolutely adore her voice in this song; so smooth, gentle and captivating

I think the instrumentation is spot on, I love it.


This song could soooo be in A Song for xx, the guy's signature is very obvious.
