At first listen, this song immediately made me feel nostalgic. I'm not really sure why, because it sounds like a slower, piano jazzy version of an anime theme song, and I don't really listen to jazz or watch anime, but for some reason, it reminds me of my childhood. (I'll have to figure this out later. I literally looked up theme songs to Astro Boy, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Sailor Moon, and Dragon Ball Z — the only anime I ever watched growing up — and I'm not sure where I got this anime vibe from. But that's literally the first thing this song conjured up in my mind.)
Naturally, Kookie's vocals are like honey butter (smooth, sweet, and delicious) and this song is gorgeous, but I get a distinctly bittersweet, contemplative mood. So I looked up the lyrics. And of course, Kookie wrote a whole song just about missing us. Since the world's activities have halted and their tour has been postponed indefinitely, Kookie has been particularly quiet. No tweets, no posts on Weverse, no selcas, no livestreams. But we know from the other members that they've all been feeling depressed and restless. And it seems like Kookie has decided to focus on writing and recording music instead. I've said this before and I'll say it again: when Kookie finally releases his mixtape, it will be some of the most beautiful music to grace our ears and will absolutely, undoubtedly shatter records across the world.
Please call my name just once more
Even though I'm at a standstill under the
frozen glow of the setting sun
I'll walk towards you step by step
Still with you
There isn't a single light in this dark room
I shouldn't get used to this
But it's so familiar
The low noise I hear
Coming from the air conditioner
If I didn't even have this,
I think I'd actually fall apart
Laughing together and crying together
I guess these simple emotions
Were everything to me
When will that day come?
When I meet you again
I want to look you in the eyes and tell you
I missed you
In the memories, once so brilliant
The rain falls, even as I dance alone
When the fog clears
I will run to you with drenched feet
Please hug me then
Because the moon looks lonely
Because it seems to be crying radiant tears in the night sky
Even though I knew that morning would come eventually
I wanted to stay in your sky like a star
Those days, those moments
If I had known they would end up like this
I would have gathered and held on to more of them
When will that day come?
When I meet you again
I want to look you in the eyes and tell you
I missed you
In the memories, once so brilliant
The rain falls, even as I dance alone
When the fog clears
I will run to you with drenched feet
Please hug me then
I want to paint the beautiful purple light
Behind the faint smiles that gaze at me
Even though our footsteps might not match
I want to walk this path together with you
Still with you
