      The autobiography of an adolescent. 5

      For a debut album, A Song for XX is very solid. It is also unlike any of her other albums. For the most part this album is an autobiography of her life up until that point in time. The lyrics of each song touch upon many things, but most of all they reflect the emotions of a young girl finding her way in life. This album offers up songs of all varieties, from cheerful and uplifting songs like SIGNAL and Present to sorrowful and despairing songs like POWDER SNOW. I'm sure the title track holds a special place in many Ayu fan's hearts; I know it certainly holds one in my heart. The lyrics are very heartfelt, emotional, and something I think only Ayu could have written. They are honest emotions that really give the listener a sense of Ayu's despair and sadness. It just affirms some of the unfortunate events she experienced early in life such as her father abandoning her or her inability to trust adults. All of the album tracks are worth mentioning because her lyrics and her way of singing honestly make them praise-worthy. I particularly enjoyed POWDER SNOW for its poetic lyrics and powerful aura of sad emotions. Single tracks worth mentioning are YOU and Depend on you; the former for its excellent way of depicting the passage of the seasons and the latter for being such a classic Ayu pop song. Out of her first 5 singles released, I think I loved these two the most. Overall, this album is very unique. One does not get something out of it just by listening. I know I did not by doing this. I recommend that people actually try to understand what this young girl is writing about. They are pure and honest emotions. Ask yourself if an average 19 year old could write such things. It is quite mind blowing to say the least. As with one of her other albums, this one stands by itself. I would not recommend this for someone who's never heard her before; more than likely it'll turn off people right away. With all things considered, it's a classic worth owning for Ayu fans though.
