I probably would’ve went with a snappier title like Clouds or Petals, but perhaps that’s just me being nitpicky. You’d be hard-pressed to find a more placid song with drums in it. Here they act as a mental metronome as a nature girl takes in the day.

She’s “walking by cherry blossoms in the sky”, excited “to be living” but “tired of talking”, so she hums “like washing machines thru the window”. She’s not alone though. There seems to be hints of heterosexual romance, but the implications aren’t clear.
