Ode To You

No One But You

"1.. 2.. 3.. and 4.. kung.. kung.. tak.. chi and 1.. 2.. 3.. 4" shouts our choreographer, Mr. Jun

We are in the practice room rehearsing our choreography for our new song. Tomorrow will be the shoot for the music video so we're a bit sensitive about the details of the song and dance. The managers, choreographers, as well as my fellow producers are here to check if everything is in place.

<Playing: But You - iKON>

[Verse 1]
I'm in love again
How's that someone who kindly filled my space
Saying "We'll meet the right one",
"someday we'll be happy"
Nothing is what those words mean to me
Cause now I will

Meet someone new and get
Drunk off love again
Even try to forget
Still it makes me feel empty
Is it dumb?
Or am I simply numb?
Somehow, I don't feel complete

[chorus]
Now, you're just someone that I knew
Found comfort in the arms of my "someone new"
Why am I still like this?
The reason is you oh-oh you

I need you baby
By any chance could you and I be
In love once again? Start over again?
Want no one but you, you, oh~

After the first part, we stopped and view first the video monitoring to see our progress.

"Okay let's continue to part 2 and back again to the chorus" said Mr. Jun

We immediately went back to our formation and continued practicing.

[verse 2]
I'm in love again
All my friends say that I'm childish
So, what if?
Pretending to be fine I
Tell them I am okay
But they say I'm way too emotionless
I dont care no more

I'm in love with you
Everyday, all day, I'm going back
Know you need me too
Nothing changed, we still know each other best
Baby with you, time, it always keeps on
Overlapping, don't know what's going on
Nobody but you
I want nobody but you

[chorus]
Now, you're just someone that I knew
Found comfort in the arms of my "someone new"
Why am I still like this?
The reason is you oh-oh you

I need you baby
By any chance could you and I be
In love once again? Start over again?
Want no one but you, you, oh~

"Okay. Cut! Let's take a 5-minute break before we move on to the bridge."

We were already out of breath at this point. The members each reached for a water bottle and lie on the floor. Until, one of our producers talked me.

"Hey Vinci. As always, your rap part is so good!" he said

"Eyy. Thanks. But you're kidding, right?" I replied

"No. I'm serious. It's been 7 years but your passion for writing music is still the same since day one. Your lyrics are so deep and emotional to the bone!"

Another producer heard us and joined the conversation.

"Yes, Vi! He's right. This song will be another hit! You write lyrics like you've been divorced several times! HAHAHAHAHA"

I just smiled at their compliments and waited until we resume practice

"Okay, back to your formations! Let's move on to the bridge and back to the last chorus" says Mr. Jun

[Bridge]
As time goes by, it's true
As much as I miss you
The clearer it appears to me
Your image haunts me everywhere

You're the one I wanted
Wherever we were, in my heart
Always together
The beautiful moments we shared oh~
Don't want no one but you, you

[chorus]
Now, you're just someone that I knew
Found comfort in the arms of my "someone new"
Why am I still like this?
The reason is you oh-oh you

I need you baby
By any chance could you and I be
In love once again? Start over again?
Want no one but you, you, oh~

We continued our practice for several hours until midnight.

"7.. and 8.. okay ending pose! and that's it!"

As our practice ended, we thanked everyone and went home.

"Well done guys, make sure to stretch, skincare, and sleep back in the dorm, okay? We've got a long day tomorrow" says our manager

We all head back to the dorm right down the alley of our building. While walking, I looked up to see the moon in it's full bloom.

"I hope we're seeing the same moon right now.  This song is for you. I still want no one but you." I thought to myself
