A song capturing the emptiness of parting and the weight of life has been reinterpreted through the voices of two singers. In a video released by TVCHOSUN JOY, singers YOUNGTAK and Lee Ji-hoon performed "My One and Only Has Gone" together, showcasing different nuances of sadness.

Lyrics reflecting dry winds and the weight of life

The lyrics flowing on stage project the lonely feelings of one watching a person depart. The video visualizes the pain of separation, beginning with a description of the dry winds in the fields being sad as they let someone go, followed by mentions of the color of the turning sky, long-forgotten tears, and a weight of life that feels as if it could bend one's back. The core of the song is a sorrowful cry toward the departing person along the lonely path everyone walks. The lyrics reflect both the longing for the departed and the hardships of life that the one left behind must face. In particular, the passages where forgotten tears pour out and the weight of life is felt deepen the emotion of parting.

The emotions of parting portrayed by YOUNGTAK and Lee Ji-hoon

YOUNGTAK and Lee Ji-hoon expressed the unique emotions of the song through their voices. Each time the address "Person, oh person, my one and only person" is repeated in the lyrics, the two singers continue the sentiment of parting with their own individual breathing. Their voices capture the loneliness experienced by the one left behind and the desire to become a cloud in that sky to visit the distant land where the other resides. The weight of the song increases particularly during the parts that sing of the universal sadness of humans living while enduring the weight of life. Following the flow of the song, the two singers deepen the emotion of parting by repeating the winds of the fields, the light of the sky, the forgotten tears, and the weight of life.

Recurring longing and the questions of the one left behind

The song heightens emotion by posing the question, "Who will there be to endure life in loneliness in a world without the departed?" The expression that one will now become a cloud in the sky to protect this heart and visit the distant land where the other is, represents a transcendental sadness that goes beyond a sense of loss. YOUNGTAK and Lee Ji-hoon maintain the sentiment of longing through to the latter half of the song, completing a final farewell to the departed. In the lyrics shown in the video, the depth of longing is added through expressions such as "Will the clouds in that sky leave me to find your distant land."
