Why Is Everyone Sad?
どうしてみんな悲しいの？
At a rain-soaked 1990s Seattle show, the traveler's jokes fail until they stop trying to repair the sadness and listen to what the music is carrying.雨に濡れた1990年代のシアトルで、旅人は悲しみを直そうとするのをやめ、音楽が抱えているものへ耳を澄ます。

Behind the Track楽曲の背景
The traveler arrives outside a 1990s Seattle venue in pouring rain and immediately tries to improve the mood. They offer encouragement, attempt jokes, and even try to start a wave. Nobody is interested.
Inside, everything feels dark, heavy, and painfully sincere. The traveler's usual response — smile, improvise, keep moving — does not work here. Eventually, they stop trying to make the sadness disappear and simply sit with what the music is carrying.
That pause becomes the album's emotional pivot. Sometimes people do not need cheering up or solving. Sometimes they need room for the feeling to become loud enough to be heard.
旅人は、土砂降りの1990年代シアトルにあるライブ会場へ着地し、すぐに雰囲気を明るくしようとする。励まし、冗談を言い、ウェーブまで始めようとする。誰も乗ってこない。
中に入ると、すべてが暗く、重く、痛いほど正直だ。笑って、即興で切り抜け、先へ進む。旅人のいつものやり方は、ここでは通じない。やがて悲しみを消そうとするのをやめ、その感情のそばに座り、音楽が抱えているものへ耳を澄ます。
その静かな変化が、アルバムの感情を反転させる。元気づけられることや、問題を解決されることが必要ではない夜もある。ただ、感情が聞こえるほど大きくなるための場所が必要なのだ。
Lyrics歌詞
Stepped out of the sunshine into pouring rain Everything is flannel, everything is pain Some dude in a beanie just sighed at the wall I said "hey man, what's up?" — he didn't talk at all What year is this? ...Why is everyone sad? The guitar sounds like thunder dragged through broken glass I asked the bartender to smile — she just walked past Somebody wrote "whatever" on the bathroom stall I wrote "cheer up, dude" underneath — nobody laughed at all This is so heavy I've been to Shanghai ballrooms, golden Phnom Penh nights Tokyo in neon, disco's blinding lights But nothing — nothing hits like this I don't get it, I don't get it, but the riff won't let me go Everything is dark and loud and beautiful and slow They said the world is pointless — okay, that's a bummer though Wrong place, wrong time, I'm fine But seriously — why is everyone sad? I tried to start a wave, they looked at me like trash Gave a thumbs up to the drummer — he just played the crash The singer screamed like something broke inside his chest I wanted to say "it's all good, bro" but... maybe not the best I don't get it, I don't get it, but the riff won't let me go Everything is dark and loud and beautiful and slow They said the world is pointless — okay, that's a bummer though Wrong place, wrong time, I'm fine But seriously — why is everyone sad? Okay wait... maybe I get it now The rain keeps falling and it doesn't stop Sometimes you don't need someone to fix it Sometimes you just need it to be loud I don't get it — no, I think I kinda do Everything is dark and loud and beautiful and true The world is heavy... eh, close enough to know Wrong place, wrong time But this one hits different, though The feedback rings... the rain keeps falling And for once, the traveler's got nothing funny to say
