Lyrics

가끔 네게 말해 사랑은 아직 어려운 것 같다고
그럼 넌 그냥 (살짝) 나를 보고 (웃어)
아무 말 없이 가만 내 두 손을 따스히 감싸

이상해 너랑 있을 때면 단둘이 있을 때면
별일도 아닌 얘길 묻지도 않은 얘길 털어놔
그저 내 얘기에 귀를 기울여 주는 게
곁에 영원히 너는 내 편이 돼줄 것 같아

네 이름을 가만 불러보면 사랑한단 말 같아
숨길 수 없이 두근대 부르고 불러봐도 매일 그래
지금처럼 마주 보는 게 다 사랑인 것만 같아
이대로 우리 둘이만 시간이 멈췄으면 정말 좋겠어

가끔은 친굴 만나 어디를 가도
맛있는 음식이 날 기쁘게 해도
자꾸만 네 생각에 right 사진을 찍어 take
다음엔 너랑 올 거라고 맹세해 (that’s right)

무슨 얘기를 해도 어느새 점점 너에 대한 자랑들로 시간이 흘러 (ha!)
떨어져 있는데도 two of us 언제나 two of us
지금도 너의 곁에 있는 것 같아

유난히 지친 하루 끝에 눈물이 왈칵할 때
아무런 말도 없이 가만히 어깰 내어 주는 너
마치 아빠처럼 포근히 안아줄 때면
곁에 영원히 너는 내 편이 돼줄 것 같아

네 이름을 가만 불러보면 사랑한단 말 같아
숨길 수 없이 두근대 부르고 불러봐도 매일 그래
지금처럼 마주 보는 게 다 사랑인 것만 같아
이대로 우리 둘이만 시간이 멈췄으면 정말 좋겠어

나 때로는 조금 놀라곤 해
어쩌면 너랑 나랑 일부터 십까지 다 똑같은 생각들을 하는 건지

사실 가끔씩 혼자 생각했어
어쩌면 너랑 나랑 같은 사람 인가 봐
아니면 이 모든 걸 뭐라고 다 설명해

너만 보면 자꾸 웃음이 나 사랑인 걸 알았어
포개진 두 손 사이로
네 맘이 빠짐없이 다 느껴져
이제 내가 네게 보여줄게 커져버린 사랑을
특별할 건 없겠지만 온통 다 너 하나로 가득 채울래

네 이름을 가만 불러보면 사랑한단 말 같아
숨길 수 없이 두근대 부르고 불러봐도 매일 그래
지금처럼 마주 보는 게 다 사랑인 것만 같아
이대로 우리 둘이만 시간이 멈췄으면 정말 좋겠어

Oh, oh, oh, oh
My boy

In a world where music transcends borders and languages, South Korean powerhouse Red Velvet’s ‘About Love’ unfurls as a delicate tapestry woven with the threads of universal emotion and connection. More than just a pop song, ‘About Love’ serves as a sonorous map charting the intimate landscapes of affection and companionship.

To dismiss ‘About Love’ as a mere catchy track would be to overlook the profound layers imbued in its lyrics and melody. This is an exploration into the intricate dance between words, impulses, and the ineffable connection that Red Velvet portrays—an ode to the silent utterances of the heart.

Whispers of Affection: The Silent Conversation in ‘About Love’

Red Velvet’s ‘About Love’ captures the familiar murmur of love in its infancy, where emotions are tentative and words unspoken. It engages the listener in a dance of subtlety — a tender exchange where actions resound louder than words. When they sing of a love that is ‘still difficult,’ it is not the complexity of love itself but the hesitation before its full embrace.

The quiet act of enveloping one’s hands gently speaks volumes. It’s a language of warmth and safety often neglected in the cacophony of overt romantic gestures. Red Velvet invites us into this intimate ritual, where love is not declared but felt, a shared secret between two intertwined souls.

Eternal Confidants: Red Velvet’s Anthemic Assurance of Permanence

The recurring motif of an eternal confidant is a heartstring that ‘About Love’ plucks with poignant resonance. As the verses unfold, they paint a companion who is steadfast and unwavering — an anchor in the tempest of uncertainty. The suggestion that ‘beside you forever, you’ll be on my side’ isn’t just a promise; it’s a manifestation of faith in the longevity of love.

This sense of unwavering support, compared to the comfort of a father’s embrace, underscores the multifaceted nature of this bond. It goes beyond the romantic, delving into a sacred realm of trust and mutual respect, a reminder of the indelible nature of true connection.

The Synchronization of Souls – ‘About Love’s’ Mirror of Mind and Heart

The song’s prelude to a moment of revelation where two individuals find themselves eerily aligned in thoughts and wishes is nothing short of magical. The lyrics ‘sometimes I am slightly surprised, how maybe you and I, from work to 10, have the same thoughts’ muse on a synchronicity that can only be explained by the deep connection of love.

This is not just a meeting of minds, but an alignment of souls — a symbiotic rhythm that is as unfathomable as it is undeniable. It’s a phenomenon that lovers across time and space have marveled at, and the ladies of Red Velvet transcribe this feeling into a melody that evokes both wonder and recognition.

The Hidden Truth Within ‘About Love’ – An Exploration of Love’s Intangible Aspects

‘About Love’ expresses a truth not often acknowledged in popular music — that love is a feeling too intricate to be fully articulated. As Red Velvet croons, ‘if I call your name quietly, it feels like saying I love you,’ they acknowledge the limits of language in conveying the profundity of emotion, acknowledging the power of the unsaid.

The recitation of a name becomes a sacred chant, the mere act of summoning a presence enough to send the heart fluttering. In this subtle recollection and the ongoing yearning for a paused moment eternally shared, Red Velvet captures the perennial human desire to preserve fleeting beauty, to still time within the heart’s ticking clock.

Memorable Lines that Resonate with the Soul: The Poetry of ‘About Love’

Within ‘About Love,’ certain lines capture the imagination and resonate with listeners on a deep, almost instinctual level. ‘Just by looking at you, I keep smiling, I knew it was love’ strikes at the involuntary reactions that love elicits — an unbidden smile, the instinctive joy one finds in the mere presence of the other.

But perhaps most telling is the line, ‘there may be nothing special, but I will fill it all up with only you.’ Here, Red Velvet strikes at the core of love’s true nature — that within the ordinary beats the extraordinary, and in the tapestry of mundane life, a single thread can color the entire canvas with meaning.
