Even If We’re Miles Apart Right Now

I used to think I wasn’t the type to feel lonely, but living solo in San Francisco taught me otherwise. I realized I was just like anyone else.

After a whirlwind day, when the fog rolled in from the sea, my heart always felt a chill. It wasn’t that I was sad or struggling, more like I was perched at the world’s edge. In those moments, I didn’t even want to do anything, just lay in bed staring blankly, waiting for dawn. Once the darkness in my room lifted, I’d get up, eat something, and head to my usual spot. Then, I’d forget the loneliness for a while. Working isn’t just about making money.

There’s this piece by Kim Kwang Min called ‘Even If We’re Miles Apart Right Now’. Whenever just zoning out didn’t help, I’d hit repeat on this track. It doesn’t chase away the loneliness, but listening reminds me that feeling lonely doesn’t equal unhappiness.

The song is so tranquil that if you close your eyes, you can picture Kim Kwang Min’s fingers dancing over the keys. His subtle way of pushing and pulling the notes creates a unique space that no one else can replicate. There’s a part where the bass tiptoes alongside the main melody, like two people walking together, and I always look forward to that. Listening to their gentle steps in a serene world, I remind myself that just because I’m not unhappy, I can endure. 😊

As we journey through life, we learn that loneliness isn’t something to conquer, but something to momentarily forget. For those battling solitude for any reason, I gently suggest the song ‘Even If We’re Miles Apart Right Now’ by Kim Kwang Min. 🎶
