"A song about a black cat..."
I've been listening to this song a couple days ago. Its a song by Bump of Chicken, a J-Rock band I'm fairly new to. So far the songs I've heard are quite good, but this is my favorite.
The song's about a lonely black cat who gets found and taken care of by a young painter. Unlike all the other people who only saw the black cat as a bringer of ill omen, the young painter was someone who saw how beatiful the cat was truly and gave it the name 'Hoori Naito'.
The song then forwards to the winter of next year. The painter has fallen ill and knowing he's near his end, made a letter for Hoori Naito to bring to a woman who awaits his return home. The next stanza was about the cat talking thinking about its dying owner and how he kept on drawing pictures of a black cat even though it never did sell.
The cat ran and ran along the mountain road, in the middle of the snow. Even when kids threw rocks and called it the devil's companion, it kept on running. It had a name they won't be able to take from it. 'Hoori Naito'
The cat ran on; covered by wounds and bruises, it ran on. In the last stanza, the woman found the dead cat with her lover's letter in its mouth, buried it in her garden, buried it 'Holy Knight'
Cenigrade-J's up again, so here is the link to the lyrics.
Yeah, the song was so good it made my eyes water. -T_T-
