Background and composition
edit"I wanted those who listen to my song to feel the loneliness right from the intro and think of the old days. I believe that everyone might have had a certain someone or a remarkable moment which remains in your memories and which you would think of regularly. It is a feeling that wherever we are or whatever we encounter, we would relate it to that certain memory. The feelings of that point in time would jolt us, though we know that we can't have those moments back."
— Vachirawit Chivaaree[5]
The song is based on the real life story of Bright.[6] He had shared that his inspiration derives from his urge to deliver a perspective on loneliness.[7] The lyrics delve into themes of sorrow, heartache and the inability to move on.[8] Musically, it is a R&B and soul track. The melody and musical arrangement of the song reflects a somber mood,[9] with slow and melancholic tones that further enhance the emotional impact of the lyrics.[10][11][12]
Bright had dream to have an English song, with an intention to go on tours, to connect and to sing along with his fans. He receives messages from fans to produce an english song to understand it better. He is aware that when he sings in Thai, it is hard for all to sing along with him.[13][14]
Music video
editDirected by Boss Wasakorn, an official music video was released alongside the sound track, which features the Thai actress and model Rasa Jiratshaya Eshuis, as Bright's partner.[15] The video explores themes of sacrifice, loss, the complexities of love,[16] the emotional struggles associated with the end of a relationship,[17] the longing for someone and an unrequited love.[18][19][20]
Synopsis
editThe music video tells the love story of a couple, once was in pure bliss, now in despair.[21] They experience painful choices, sacrifices and misunderstandings all while desperately trying to hold onto the love they share.[22] The song explores the emotions of heartbreak, longing and the bittersweet nostalgia of lost love.[23] It delves into the complexities of a relationship that has fallen apart, leaving the couple feeling broken and yearning.[24] The video closes with Bright looking his partners' pictures which captures the raw vulnerability and deep sadness,[25] evoking a powerful sense of empathy and reflection for listeners.[26][27][28][29]
"The inspiration behind the making of this MV was what we think about special love, dispayed in most ordinary form. I want everyone to experience and understand it together because this kind of moment can really happen to anyone. Preparation at the time of the shooting was really simple. We acted without scripts. In the morning, all scenes of the past were filmed, where we enjoyed our togetherness. All the break up and dramatic scenes were filmed in the evening." — Vachirawit Chivaaree [30]
