Feel The Wind

Janne Da Arc's song 'Feel The Wind' is a poignant exploration of love, loss, and the passage of time. The lyrics convey a deep sense of longing and melancholy as the narrator reflects on a past relationship. The recurring line 'I'm feelin' the wind in the sky, without your love' serves as a metaphor for the emptiness and change that comes with the end of a significant relationship. The wind symbolizes the constant movement and change in life, while the sky represents the vast, open space that now feels empty without the presence of the loved one.

The song's imagery is rich and evocative. Phrases like 'Chigireta sora no sukima kara' (from the gaps in the torn sky) and 'Sayonara wo egaita shiroi toiki' (the white breath that drew goodbye) paint a vivid picture of the emotional landscape the narrator is navigating. These lines suggest a world that has been fractured by the loss, with light and hope only seeping through the cracks. The narrator's struggle to move forward is evident in lines like 'Tachido matteta boku dakedo, Ima yatta aruite ikesou dayo' (I was standing still, but now I feel like I can walk).

The song also touches on the theme of memory and the difficulty of letting go. The narrator reminisces about the past, recalling moments of happiness and intimacy, but ultimately acknowledges that these memories must be put away. The line 'Futari no omoide wo shimau yo' (I will put away our memories) signifies a painful but necessary step towards healing. Despite the sorrow, there is a sense of acceptance and a wish for the former lover's happiness, as expressed in 'Kimi no shiawase dake negauyo' (I only wish for your happiness). This bittersweet sentiment encapsulates the complex emotions of moving on from a cherished relationship.
