The Song “Racing Into The Night” by Yoasobi was an amazing piece because the tone of music doesn’t match the lyrics meaning but if you understand the meaning behind it it’s really deep. The Group generally does pop, rock, and electronic music so it’s really interesting on how they made a sad song somewhat joyful. The song itself is about two lovers commiting suicide while their world falls apart. What is interesting about this song is that the craft moves in this song uses imagery, figurative language, tone, voice, and etc; but you won’t really hear it if you don’t understand the meaning of it.
How I came to know of this song is that it was popular and at the time I started to get interested in Japanese things. At the time I was just interested in the culture and browsing around listening to music and not understanding it but later I went deeper and found the meaning behind the lyrics. With me digging deeper into the topic it got me more interested in what somethings mean. This opened up how I viewed things as you can’t judge a book by their cover you got to understand the deeper context.
This song affected my life because it got me interested in the genre of things and made me want to know more of it. Even now when I see something in a different language I try to understand what it means. What this song basically did for me is now I view things differently then how I viewed things before. Other music that I found the artist makes is also cheerful but some has its own lore behind it, like one of their newest song “Idol”.
