연인 (Lover) – Kevin Oh

During another sleepless night, I’m just here laying down in bed listening to music. This song randomly came on again, and it once again just jogs different things within my head. There’s definitely a certain solace in the embrace of music and what it can do to you within the dim hours of the night.

In those quiet moments when everything is shrouded in darkness, the mind often becomes a battleground, wrestling with memories and desires long buried beneath the facade of daylight and the fronts that we’re trying to put up day-by-day just to get by…

Even for me, I haven’t really thought about dating, or even dated in awhile, but the song is still able to evoke feelings of sadness that I’ve had in my past relationships or even the what-if relationships that could have happened. The lyrics in general, are definitely feelings that I’ve had… and those lyrics with the addition of the soft instrumentals of the piano (and later the strings)… it really paints a picture of a love lost.

So as the clock continues to tick and as the night stretches on, I’m happy to just listen to random music in the comfort knowing that even in the dead silence of the night, that I’m not alone.
