‘My Dream’ is a heart wrenching track that brings listeners into the mind of hongjoin where he writes about the struggles of chasing a dream whilst away from home whilst being in a long distance relationship. When will it be enough? When is it time to slow down and appreciate the things that are right in front of you? The dreamy soundscape intertwined with melancholic vocals will definitely take the listener into a trance and remind them to cherish the love that they already have.
hongjoin’s first solo track since releasing his EP F(OOL) in June, ‘My Dream’ has been highly anticipated by his fans who are already familiar with the track since he teased it live and posted acoustic versions of it.
The single will be accompanied by an eye-catching lyric video that features dreamy visuals and motifs of objects that hongjoin dreamed of growing up, and whilst chasing for these ‘dreams’ he drifts further and further away from the tree that he grew up with, representing a common struggle to balance being present in relationships and chasing adventures. The emphasis on strong visuals sets a strong foundation for the upcoming creative direction of hongjoin’s music and keeps his fans on their toes to predict what story he will be telling this time with the new album.
