This song was written and composed about 10 years ago when I was still in high school.
At that time, as I accumulated many experiences in my own way, I was discouraged to the point that "there is no such thing as beautiful love in this world" and "I will never be able to truly love people again" by witnessing the difficulty of loving others and the dirty parts of myself and human beings. However, as I continued to write the song in the midst of such disappointment, I found a glimmer of hope that perhaps beautiful love exists somewhere, just that I have not found it yet. I was also able to make a decision to face the idea of love again.
In the ten years between the writing of this song and its release, I have experienced many things. As a member of society, as a husband, as a father, and as my various responsibilities and roles increased, I experienced a lot of happiness and trials, and only now do I feel that I have finally arrived at the answer to this song.
The lyrics and the song have not changed at all from 10 years ago, but the essential content of this song has finally been completed after 10 years.
I would be happy if this song could be such a song that would enrich the dry hearts of those who listen to it.
