It’s a song that expresses a feeling that even Japanese listeners can easily relate to: wanting to be together, yet knowing that being together will lead to getting hurt.

They’re a globally popular British rock band.

Despite their scandalous, wild image, their music is remarkably good.

This song in particular has wonderfully poignant lyrics, and what I especially like is that—even without focusing on the words—you can feel not so much a weepy kind of gloom as a hazy, subdued sadness just from the music itself.

The Royal Concept – On Our Way

It’s a very striking song with the message that we can keep pushing because we’re still young.

The recurring message that “we can’t waste time” also sparks the motivation to focus on what lies ahead.

It’s a masterpiece I’d recommend to anyone, even if you’re not in the middle of a fight with your partner.
