It was - Thoughts

[ImpactBreaker]

Really? were there other songs that got kicked off? Where can I read this infO? (I'm quite outdated on things)

[Kirshwasser]

for me this is the best track in SECRET !!! i love it very much

[ruixiong89]

(typing this as I'm listening to It was on FIRST LISTEN)

I know I'm going to like this song after hearing the preview. And well, here goes.

I really like the introduction to this song. It's ethereal. Now for the verses, they're really nice too. I like how it erupts into the chorus which sounds great! Sweet! Oh yah, then it fades back into the low lying verses. I'm glad they added in more instruments gradually into the verses.

Yeah, second chorus! I really like this song. It's reminiscent of LIAR, Hope or Pain but BETTER. Electric Guitars at the instrumental bridge are excellent. Well, I'm still looking for a "vocal" bridge like CAROLS'.

But I really like the song and how it ends. GREAT!

[Coelacanth]

This is a weird one. The song starts out in a confident manner it seems, the melody/vocals/everything and then it just seems to go into the chorus and gives off this vulnerability that reminds me SO much of the LOVEppears era, it's not even funny. tasuku, as naturally expected, did a very good job with the arrangement.

[Norrel]

Oooh, really nice song it is. I thought I wouldn't like it, but I changed my mind

[hopeorpain]

I love this song! I haven't listened to the entire album yet, but likely this is my favorite album track. It's so beautiful and mature in sound, with a touch of sadness

[spookshow]

i love the chorus of this song! i'm liking this song, but it doesn't beat until that Day... or 1 LOVE

i'm loving all the rock influences/vibes in this album so far!

[alternarist]

it will be awesome for this song to have a PV. seriously!!

[Mad_Cactuar]

This is perhaps the only unimpressive song for me on Secret. It's still very good nevertheless, but it just doesn't have anything that can set it apart from other rock ballads.

[PrincessAyu]

It was would've fitted perfectly on (m)u ^^ makes sense. I love this song more than 1 LOVE and until that Day

[ruixiong89]

I think It was would have fit better on MY STORY. Not entirely though, because I thought MY STORY had less of the melodic pop-rock going on but It was definitely has it. It might also fit on (miss) understood but I don't think (m)u had that rock thing going on with the exception of is this LOVE?, (miss) understood and possibly alterna. It certainly wouldn't fit in there.

It was belongs just where it is on Secret! This song deserves some kind of visual thing, like a CM or PV. It's really complementing!

[chocopockymaster]

Wow! This is the only new album track I decided to download before I get my copy of Secret (aside from the interludes) and I am sitting here with my jaw on my keyboard. xD The beginning is beautiful, and I love how she's singing back and forth. When they put the effects over her voice and she goes down low, her voice reminds me of Kuu's. I don't really think I can picture this on MY STORY, but I can see it on (m)u for some reason. It's simply gorgeous. I too am praying for a live performance!

[Ava]

My absolutely favourite of "Secret"

[Larisa-chan]

I didn't think I was going to like song so much, but it's really grown on me! It's a nice subdued rock song (it is a bit mainstream American sounding, but not so bad). It really is something you can listen to over and over without it getting old fast.

[jeffycue]

i like her to cry if she performs this.... it's like Memorial address to me... but doesnt quite match up... but it's still good!

[Diana]

LOVE IT!! I like the changes of her voice whille she`s singing, when she has deeper voice, where they chainged it a bit

[ruixiong89]

After giving Secret a listen 20 times over (see, I'm a crazed Ayu fan), I thought It was was the only song that didn't make me cringe upon the 20th or so listen. You can hear it over and over again! It's a really really good song, not superb, but it doesn't bore you out.

[voltron]

I can't really stand this song.

I think it sounds exactly like Happy Ending/Hope or Pain/Liar/etc. It really does sound like it's a reject track from My Story thrown in here for filler. It's just so generic and old. I think My Story is one of her weakest albums ever though, so it makes sense that I wouldn't care for this song while everybody else loves it.

Overall, I'm very happy with the album and this is the only track (other than the interludes) that I skip just about every time.

[Daking]

This is a very nice song, Ayu's voice sounds great and I think it stars heavily in this song. It reminds me of another song but i can't think of it at the moment but its just an awesome display of Ayu's voice. Songs like this that aren't really catchy carry the album and seperate the good albums from the not so much ones.

[criminal]

I find that it's a great ending to the first part of the album, it isn't as frantic as the songs before it which is a nice change. I'd also like to point out how there was a similar-sounding rock ballad on (miss)understood, the title track, as track number 5.
