To You

A Leader's Burden

Was there ever a time when you took someone for granted? Whether it was your parents, your siblings, your lover, or your friends, was there a time when you realized you have been taking too much and giving back too little? Well then, this is a song for all of you out there who felt this way at a certain point in your life.

 

- From WINNER’s new title song introduction

 

WINNER's 2015 comeback was an even greater hit than their debut album, reigning as champions on various music shows with their self-composed R&B song, 'To You’. This time, four out of five members took part in the production of the song that swept all of the nation’s music charts.

 

Lyrics of ‘To You’

 

M:   You were there, always.

       So abundant that I took you for granted.

       Just like how we don't stop to appreciate the air we breathe

       I don't stop to appreciate the presence you give

       Tell me, my baby

       Tell me you're too tired, that you can't take it anymore

       But no, you'll smile, say it's okay and nothing more

 

JW: What hurts me more? 

       Your selfless love or my carelessness?

       I can't tell anymore. 

       I'm an idiot, to not have noticed your pain

       What pains you more?

       The burden you carry or physical pain?

       Let it all out

       Cos I finally understand

 

TH: So this is to you, the priceless treasure of my life (M: Thank you for existing)

       This is to you, sorry I took so long to realize (M: But now I get it)

       All the pain, the weight, the duty, you carried

       Let me carry it with you

       This is my letter to you (M: Just so you know)

       You're not alone

 

SH: Yeah, I remember now the times when you used to be so cheerful

       Free of worries and never being so fretful

       You tell us to Smile Again

       But you're losing your smile

       Oh boy oh boy I wish we'd return to the times

       To the times when

       You still let yourself rely on me

       To the times when

       Secrets were shared with one another

       Please 

       Open up your heart to me once again

       I want to bring back the you I knew once again

 

SY: So this is to you, the priceless treasure of my life (M: Thank you for existing)

       This is to you, sorry I took so long to realize (M: But now I get it)

       All the pain, the weight, the duty, you carried

       Let me carry it with you

       This is my letter to you (M: Just so you know)

       You're not alone

 

SY: Ah, let's reset the screwed up present

       And paint a new future

       But this time

       It's you and me

 

All: So this is to you, the priceless treasure of my life (M: Thank you for existing)

      This is to you, sorry I took so long to realize (M: But now I get it)

      All the pain, the weight, the duty, you carried

      Let me carry it with you

      This is my letter to you (M: Just so you know)

      You're not alone

 

Lyrics and composition by Song Mino, Nam Taehyun, Kim Jinwoo and Lee Seunghoon

 

~The End~

 

NOTE: THE SONG IS PURELY FICTIONAL, JUST IN CASE ANYONE THINKS THAT IT IS AN UNRELEASED SONG. I JUST WROTE IT LIKE HOW REAL LYRICS ARE WRITTEN TO MAKE IT SEEM REAL!! Oh and if any of you have noticed, this is the song mentioned in the previous chapter. WINNER's wishes in the interview (from previous chapter) have all been fulfilled in this chapter too!

Chapter 9: I'm glad I read this story. It contained the pains and the joy of being a leader and of having a team. Yes, being a leader is such a tough job, all of them want to stay strong for the team, to the point of over-exerting themselves, but as you depicted in this story, the other members are always there to share the burden. I can never imagine what these group idols are going through, but being together almost all the time creates a really precious bond that common people will never understand. I'm happy I got to read a story of the harshness of being a leader but also they can count on their members, which are more closer than a family.
