Even though it may not be the best song on the album, I always look forward to hearing Stoicism, so that's what I voted.

It was Gibs. Then it was Izonshou. Now it's Honnou.

Tsumi to Batsu for sure. I had an experience where I fell asleep with my headphones on and my mp3 player was looping through the SS album, and when I woke up around 4am, Tsumi was the song playing. Man was it awesome listening to that song half asleep first thing in the morning.

that's why I love you

Yami ni Furu Ame is the song I introduce others to Shiina Ringo with, and it never fails. A little rain falling in darkness never fails to brighten my day.

IMO the 3 singles with the great ending song Izonshou are the stars on SS
If honnou wasn't my all-mighty-favorite I would have a hard time to choose... and Gibusu it'would be the strongest candidate

A China fans wrote that Ringo is based on the death of Kurt Cobain to write this song.

石膏 MV 我超级喜欢的。着迷似地一再重看。

个人感觉是,
歌词内容表达的是女子对未来的恐惧,尤其是情人死去这件事。
而 MV 透过情人葬礼的假想(也可能是噩梦似的回忆),
表达自己不能接受事实、永远为此煎熬的疯狂。

那种深刻到骨子里的恐惧,
翻白眼、倒地、痛苦地打滚、眼神呆滞等动作,
在在赤裸无遗地被林檎姬捕捉,并且刻画出来。

我手边有资料介绍,
歌词里提到的寇特柯本(Kurt Cobain)跟 Courtney Love(挚爱的寇特妮)
前者是林檎姬迷恋的摇滚乐团 Nirvana 中的成员,后者则是他遗孀。
一直有嗑药、厌世倾向的 Kurt Cobain,
在 1994 年 4 月 8 日被发现陈尸家中,疑似以枪自击头部而亡,
也留下遗书给 Courtney,表示--没有了他,他俩的女儿生活一定快乐得多。

而这事件给身为歌迷的林檎姬很大的冲击,偏执的她为此写了这首歌表达祭悼。
一种发自内心呐喊的宗教性祭悼。(由 MV 中庄严的葬园场景可见)

无疑地,林檎姬把自己假想为那位 Courtney ,
“四月又来临了,这让我回忆起同一天的事……”是指 Kurt Cobain 自杀的事、
祭献用的罂粟花以及隐藏其间的海洛英可联想作 Kurt Cobain 嗑药的暗示,
还有葬园里的牛头枯骨、黑衣死神、象征救赎的主教装扮小女孩……

世事太无常,未来多变得令人不得不质疑,
所以歌词里的林檎姬剖白是那么地神经质,也是那么地深遂、哀伤,同时激狂。
