Colde releases ‘Your Dog Loves You (Feat. Crush)’ digital single
Today, Colde of offonoff has released his first solo single ‘Your Dog Loves You‘. The song features singer Crush.
Colde writes: “Everyone has their own way of remembering things: pictures, videos, writings, drawings … For me, music is like my diary. On three to four minutes I record pieces of my memories, the atmospheres or scents from that time.
I got Samna when I was in my second year of high school. I still vividly remember that day when newborn Samna, eyes still half-closed, was peacefully sleeping in our living-room. Around that time, I, who was a regular student, started making music, and instead of going to cram school to study I spent my time in my room by myself, being creative.
During that time, my beloved pet dog Samna was my irreplaceable best friend who listened to my worries and complaints and even accepted me when I felt down.
I hope that when the time comes that Samna is no longer by my side, my memories with Samna will remain in this song. I hope that when listening to it, I will remember the many days we spent going on walks together.
Creating this song made me even happier and was more meaningful because I did so with my close friend and beloved Hyoseob-hyung. He is a great artist and truly loves his puppy, raising it well.
The message I would like to convey to many people with this song is that our pets love us unconditionally. I hope that no one hurts them through irresponsible actions. This is something we should keep in mind. Through efforts like this I hope that we’ll become more mature, and be aware of and deepen our love for animals.
In this world, this is very easy to forget. The pets of this world make us feel sincereness and love. In this song, I’ve expressed my gratefulness for the pure love they have shown us, and I hope that my message will reach the listeners.
Samna, I love you, always and forever!”
