1. Unicorn from the United Kingdom played country and folk rock. They broke up in 1977. Several of the bands album were produced by (and featured contributions by) David Gilmour of Pink Floyd.

2. Unicorn was a progressive melodic rock band from Sweden, fronted by Dan Swanö (Bloodbath, Edge of Sanity, Nightingale). They released two full-length albums (Emotional Wasteland and Ever Since), two EPs (After Before and The Weirdest of Tales), and two demos (A Collection of Worlds I and A Collection of Worlds II).

The band's style was a far cry from the brutal death metal Swano would later become known for. (Swano formed Unicorn as a young teen.) Unicorn is a very melodic, light progressive band. Nightingale comes closest to their style, though even Nightingale is much heavier.

Swano is currently working on a new project called Second Sky. He says Second Sky is the new Unicorn. An album is expected in 2009.

3. Unicorn (ユニコーン) is a Japanese band fronted by Okuda Tamio(奥田民生), active in the 80s and early 90s. During that time the band released eight albums and nine singles. The band reunited in 2009.

12. UNICORN from the U.S. plays noise drone electronics. W. T. Nelson formerly of Bastard Noise (risen from the ashes of Man Is the Bastard) and Sleestak has released a split CD with noise artist 2673, a split CD with Bastard Noise, and a full-length titled "Playing with Light". Less harsh and more melodic than previous projects.

15. Unicorn is a five-member girl group formed for Girls Planet 999's Creation Mission. The group consists of K-Group's Kang Ye Seo (강예서), Kim Bo Ra (김보라) and Kim Chae Hyun (김채현), C-Group's Huang Xing Qiao (黄星侨), and J-Group's Kawaguchi Yurina (川口ゆりな). Together, the team performed and released "Utopia".

16. Unicorn ( 유니콘‬ ) was a five member South-Korean group under Cartoon Blue Company. Produced by R&B singer Kim Jo Han, they debuted on September 3, 2015 with the mini-album UNICORN 'Once Upon A Time'. The group disbanded in September 2017. The group consisted of Rumi, Yujin, Gayoung, Sally and Winnie (who had left the group before their disband). Sally is now a soloist under the name Soseo and Gayoung is now a soloist under the name Mauve with the debut single My Cat.

17. Unicorn is led by Jenna Hardie, who has previously fronted other Perth bands like The Government and Gold Suns. Unicorn has released two singles so far, Cats and Twisted.

立秋
Unicorn Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

永遠に変わらざる涼しき山並
白き朝靄が我と微睡む
今ここにいて
君が微笑みもいつしか消ゆる
いとしさに涙する
語り合い抱き合い
憎み合う年月を

忘れない忘れない
忘れない忘れない
白き朝靄が我と微睡む

君が微笑みもいつしか消ゆる
今ここにいて

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Unicorn's song "立秋" (Risshū) capture a sense of eternal, unchanging beauty as represented by the cool mountain ranges. The opening lines describe the everlasting nature of these majestic mountains, while the white morning mist creates a peaceful atmosphere that lulls the singer into a gentle sleep. The singer expresses a desire for their loved one to remain by their side, but acknowledges the transient nature of happiness. The bittersweetness of their affection brings tears to their eyes, as they reflect on the passage of time filled with moments of both sharing and embracing each other, as well as a period of animosity and resentment.

The repeated invocation of not forgetting suggests a plea for the memories of these experiences to remain etched in their mind. The white morning mist and the loved one's smiles, however, inevitably fade away with time. The final line "今ここにいて" (Ima koko ni ite) implores the loved one to stay in the present moment, emphasizing the importance of cherishing what they have now, even if it is fleeting.

Overall, these lyrics evoke a sense of longing for a love that is both beautiful and fragile, highlighting the struggles and impermanence that can accompany deep affection.
