'Someone You Loved' Cover

Yu-Yu's Perspective~

"Min hyung, I wanted to ask if I could do a cover on a song that I really enjoy." He replied, "What song do you have in mind?" I tried to remember the name, "I think it's called Someone You Loved by Lewis Capadi." Min hyung smiled down at me, "I think I can work something out with the label."

I looked shook, "Are you sure?" He nodded his head. My smile vanished a little bit when I relaxed something. "Hyung, the song is in English which is difficult for me." Min placed a hand on my back, "Baby, you can do anything as long as you set your mind to it. I know that with a little bit of practice on your English you'll do perfectly fine."

"Thank you! I promise I'll ry my best no matter what." Min hyung asked, "Do you want to produce the cover?" I nodded my head. I brought up, "Do you think I could film a dance choreography to go along with the song?" He took a minute to think before replying.

"Actually that sounds like a great idea!" I smiled up at him. He pulled out his phone and made a quick call. Five minutes later, He said that the label is allowing me to go through with this cover. I quickly thanked him and ran off to my studio.

In the studio

I messed around on the keyboard until I found the right pitch and beat. I wanted to change the original song up a bit. There's a reason why I chose this song, and also because I feel like I can truly show my emotions in this song cover. I want people to realize that the lyrics are sung with true emotions.

I looked online at the lyrics that were translated in both English and Korean. I tried to sing the English lyrics, and I couldn't pronounce 75% of the words. I decide that the only way I would learn the English lyrics is by listening to the song over and over.

Three weeks later~

I've finally learned all the lyrics to the song, and I was able to come up with the choreography. I'm praying that the cover turns out well. I walked into the studio and recorded a few takes to see what the final cover would look like.

"I guess I kinda liked the way you helped me escape
now the day bleeds into nightfall and you're not here
to get me through it all." "I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved and I tend to close my eyes when it hurts sometimes I fall into your arms
I'll be safe in your sound 'til I come back around."

I played the voice over a few times, before settling on how how or low the pitches needed to be. I finished perfecting the way the cover's supposed to go. I looked up at the clock and read 4:23 am. I didn't want to go back to the dorm, because my hyungs are still asleep. I went into the elevator and headed down to the cafeteria.

I quickly picked up a banana milk and some gimbap. I rushed back into my studio. I sat down and enjoyed my breakfast. Once I had finished my meal, I grabbed the heavy camera and headed into the practice room. I went over the choreography and lyrics at least three times.

Third Person Perspective~

The young boy set the camera up and placed a stool a little far back. He began to nervously shake, but tried to calm down as he wanted to go through with the cover. He clicked the start button the camera. He began to sing beautifully as the beats and melody matched perfectly with his voice.
