[“Light the fire” self-liner notes]
Even though the number of ways to communicate has increased so much, why is it that most of our problems are related to people? I wonder why I can’t remember your face, voice, or feelings even though it’s so convenient. I still remember the face of the friend I hurt when I was in elementary school, and it hurts.
Even though the human body has evolved from a chimpanzee, the human heart will still be soft in 2024, and the nutrition that reaches the heart may be the same as it has always been. When you feel like you’re suffocating due to invisible communication, or when your heart feels like it’s freezing, let’s move forward together. Let’s light a fire together. Let’s fight together.
