Emperor Steele describes “Cherry Blossom” as a celebration of the beauty and majesty that surrounds us, urging us to cherish what we have. “It’s essentially a love song,” Steele explains, “our souls are sewing our fortune… love is a traveler, it has no expiry date, it moves through the expanse of time, to far-off places, through far-off times.”
Lord Littlemore adds, “It’s about a feeling of newness and new life, and the opportunity to bring goodness. If we change ourselves rather than changing the world, then we do change the world.”
