Songwriting

What’s wrong? You seem a little bummed out…

I’m just… stuck in a creative block with this proposal song… the song I’m supposed to write for you

Didn’t you get any help from the bros?

They tried to help me… then they just ended up writing their own version of the song in Korean, in our genre… put in some bass guitars and techno beats and they’re really enjoying the song for themselves.

(LOL)

Even if I translate the lyrics from Korean to English — it just doesn’t flow as well. Even if I make it acoustic — it’s just… it’s not us

Okay? So the bros didn’t end up helping at all… (LOL)

No! They simply enjoyed the challenge of the exercise and now they’re all writing their own versions for their own girlfriends so we’re going to have like, ten or twenty versions of proposal songs in our catalogue over the next five, ten years?!

HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAH…

I don’t know how they’re all so inspired! Each of them are already working on four, five variations or completely different songs — but all proposals! All confessions of everlasting love for their current girlfriends. It’s just me. I’M the one with the writer’s block. Normally I would even ask you for your opinion about a song that I’m working on… but I can’t ask YOU for your opinion about YOUR SONG that I’m writing this song for…!

Yeah… true… that’s a bit of a conundrum… hmm… are you friends with Ed Sheeran?

Ed Sheeran?

Yeah… if you need someone’s help in English…?

Just because we’re celebrities doesn’t mean that we all know each other! He has nothing to do with my genre, I can’t just call up Ed Sheeran to ask him for his helping writing this song! Why did you suddenly think of Ed Sheeran anyway?

Doesn’t he have that reputation? “King of Wedding Songs” or something like that? This isn’t even fiction — somebody once said that about him!?!?!

Really? Ed Sheeran? He has that reputation?

(Shrugs shoulders)

Well I don’t know him!!! I’m not going to “call up Ed Sheeran” — I just have to write this song by myself!!!

(Nodding) Do you want a hug?

Yes…
