002 Man Ko Gahan

This song embodies the essence of nurturing and guiding someone through life with unconditional love and selfless devotion. It speaks to allowing someone to grow, stumble, and learn from their mistakes while discovering their own strength. Co-creating this song with my mother brings me immense joy, and it makes me reflect on what it would be like to guide someone with that same love and selflessness. One day, when I become a mother, hopefully I’ll understand the depth of this love.

♪♪ From the depths of the heart, let a dream be born ♪♪.
