Hold On [To] Your Love

I love this piece from the K-On! soundtrack.It is a nostalgic piece, occurring when the adviser of the HTT group Sawako sensei (山中 さわ子) was talking about her past love and role as a former member of the previous Light Music Club band (Death Devil). I love the intro and outro---there's this something wistful in it that is hard to put into words, but you know it is there when it tugs at your heart strings just so. The main guitar solo is very energised, as though one were thinking about the fiery passions that happened in the past. It's not a particularly long piece, but it is really impactful.

It reminds me of myself right now. Like how I'm sitting here, thinking about my glory days from back when I was in school, all the triumphs and setbacks, remembering the major episodes in my life that had just passed. And now, as I sit here, I realise that it was all in the past, and I can never relive it again except in such a vicarious manner.

Music---conveying emotions without words.
