Both music and lyrics are touching, sweet, and sad at the same time. And the love described in this song might be real.
Pieces is one of the best L'Arc ballad songs, along with Hitomi no Jyuunin and Forbidden Lover.
The lyrics, and basically every note played by the band as well as the orchestra, are perfectly combined and well thought out. The final sound is just beautiful, intermingling so beautifully. Try listening to the instrumental-only version! The oboe just kills me every time, and the song has been in my playlist for 9 years.
Remembering someone dear to you could be this heart-wrenching, but it's not a lament. It's a celebration of that beloved person and of love itself. Listen to the instrumental version or the vocal version - both are just great. This is the best from L'Arc-en-Ciel.

Totally beautiful song that blew Japan away for quite some time!
