Composition

edit

The song uses Bach's "Aria in G Minor" as a classical introduction, and is a ballad song that combines Kyuhyun's voice with a string orchestra.[1] The song describes the departure of a couple's commitment towards each other. They were once lovers who had strong emotions and feelings towards one another, however after a long-term relationship they realises that the love they have for each other is no longer there, thus their relationship breaks apart. Through the emotional lyrics and instrumental, Kyuhyun aims to portray love in a sorrowful way. Colour contrast was also seen throughout the entire music video of "The Day We Felt The Distance" to express the change in feelings the lovers have for each other.[2]
