今夜、リンゴの木の下で
斉藤和義 Lyrics

The song "今夜、リンゴの木の下で" by 斉藤和義 talks about different moments in history or personal life where something significant happens, and the singer searches for something they left behind or doesn't have, despite feeling the presence of the person they deeply miss. The lyrics start with a biblical reference to Adam and Eve taking a bath and a small seed falls from the sky. Then, it jumps to Newton observing an apple falling and the singer wondering since when they only look for the things they missed. In the chorus, the singer expresses their desire to meet again with the person they miss so much.
Later, the lyrics mention the singer wanting a specific kind of kite, a Gayla kite, but receiving a different one that makes the other person happy. The singer reminisces about the memories of planting an apple tree together and how they seem to be within reach of the roof of the house. The song finishes with the chorus repeating the desire to meet the person they miss.

The song has a melancholic tone that evokes nostalgia and the inexplicable feeling of something lost or unfulfilled. The mention of historical figures adds to the feeling of time passing and things changing. The reference to Adam and Eve highlights the concept of innocence while Newton connects to science and the law of gravity. The song doesn't offer a clear answer but rather presents these moments to create a sense of shared experience when missing someone.
