Whenever a LUCY release comes around, whether it’s a comeback or an OST, we just know for sure they’re going to blow our world away. LUCY keep growing as musicians and artists, and their latest single, ‘The knight who can’t die and the silk cradle,’ is perfect proof of it.
‘The knight who can’t die and the silk cradle’ is one of LUCY‘s most interesting and complex songs when it comes to melodies, instrumentals, and lyrics. And with their insane discography, that says it all. This new single exemplifies the perfect way LUCY manage to mix their more rock sound with the violin and magical landscapes, creating a truly unique atmosphere that only they could do.
It has a strong opening that almost feels like an OST for an anime and slows down for the first verse, where we go from one vocalist to another. There’s nothing more magical than when they do that in their songs, as their voices are so distinctive, creating a perfect balance. The build-up in the pre-chorus is gorgeous; it feels emotional and hopeful. And the drums. As the song progresses, they just get more intense. The entire rhythmic side of this song and the way it builds up is peak music. And the lyrics will tug at your heartstrings like no other song. It’s truly a journey to just listen to the song and explore all the emotions they put into it.
The music video is unlike anything they’ve released before. This time, they opted for an animation, which is the perfect choice for this song. While it might seem simple, this music video carries a lot of meaning. We see a knight going through different settings while holding a kid’s hand and guiding them. This, in many ways, can be interpreted as representative of the relationship between LUCY and their fans. And it is even more true when you realize the settings and backdrops all represent different eras in their discography. These two characters travel through LUCY’s journey, and it makes this single even more special.
LUCY have such a distinct sound that they manage to transform and innovate with every song and every era. ‘The knight who can’t die and the silk cradle’ represents their journey as a band. And it also proves once again their immense talent and growth as a band.
The release of ‘The knight who can’t die and the silk cradle’ marks only the start of this year for LUCY. They clearly have so much more in store for us as they’re about to go on their first world tour, written by FLOWER. And we’re hoping and praying we get to witness this masterpiece live!
