This is a ballad released in 2015 as the second installment of SM Entertainment’s winter single project, “WINTER GARDEN.” Its gentle acoustic soundscape captures the serene atmosphere of Christmas Eve, and Red Velvet’s beautiful vocal work is utterly enchanting.
The lyrics—wishing that the happiness shared with a loved one will last forever—are wonderfully romantic.
While it evokes the image of cozy background music for a home with a fireplace, its warm mood is so lovely that I’d love to hear it playing throughout the city as well.
