When it snows, we use the accumulated snow to make snowmen and have snowball fights. Snow, which can be easily caught by just stretching out one’s hand, turns the streets muddy after a while and makes people who walk on it cautious for a while. As time passes, it disappears as if the whole world had turned white.
Eyes that disappear from sight become impossible to grasp with your hands. Some evaporates to form snow or rain elsewhere, and some is absorbed into the ground and becomes groundwater. Some become part of the ocean and leave. The song to be introduced this time is “It’s Melting” by Peakboy (Peakboy).
“I’m Melting” sings about someone letting go of their love. Just as you can’t hold on to snow when it melts and turns into water, you can’t hold on to love that has left you. It’s impressive that Peakboy’s soft voice flows over the piano and strings, and the guitar sounds occasionally hit like water drops falling into a puddle.
As I listen to the song, the lyrics “I’m melting, I’m letting you go” pop into my head. I think this is an exquisite lyric, considering that just as melted snow returns to the land and the sea, the love we let go of becomes a part of us and continues to live. And that love will probably come back to you in another form one day. While walking down the street and in a familiar place, you say, “Ah, I was really happy with that person back then.” Well, if you’re lucky, you might run into one by chance at that location. Are you sorting through the end of a love? Try listening to Peakboy’s “I’m Melting”.
