Mia Matayoshi's newest release, which she wrote and illustrated, solidifies her reputation as a storyteller whose work is emotionally honest and appeals to people of all ages. "the way we were" is in a refined pop style and explores the painful desire to return to a time when love was easy.
The song is about the worst part of a relationship, when the pain of not talking to each other and being emotionally distant is too much to handle. But beneath that weight is an intense desire, a quiet wish to bring back the warmth and simplicity that used to be part of the relationship between two people. Mia's voice moves through the emotional landscape with a sensitivity that is almost cinematic.
The song's strength lies in how it makes people reflect on their own memories. It makes you think about how love and relationships change and how sad it is to remember when things were simpler and calmer. Mia does a great job of being both vulnerable and relaxed in her performance.
The polished, expressive production arrangement brings out the emotion and puts Mia's story first. You can tell she's an international artist by the way she talks and moves. "the way we were" is a very in-depth look at Mia Matayoshi's growing body of work. It is thoughtful, full of feeling, and very human, and it gives people a chance to reflect on their own past and the feelings that have shaped who they are.
