April Come She Will

This is one song that somehow gives me a bittersweet feeling: Simon and Garfunkel’s “April Come She Will.” When April comes around, our dear friends and coworkers often move on, don’t they? It’s a little lonely, but maybe it’s nice to match your mood to this song and send them off gently.

The title is also well known in Japanese as “4月になれば彼女は.” Highly recommended for anyone who wants to see something off or express their gratitude.
