Parting is always foolish.
There is no such thing as a clean breakup that ends with a full stop.It blurs like an epitaph, and it cannot be undone like a hastily pressed “send” button.

Boynextdoor’s “Today Only I LOVE YOU” sings about the heart of that foolishness in a very sad way.But strangely, it makes me laugh a little after listening to it.It makes me feel a little warm.And it makes me feel a little better.

“I hate selling memories and writing songs more than I want to die,” he says, waving his hand, but in fact, this song was created with that ‘more hateful than dying’ feeling.The speaker in these lyrics, who is selling the aftermath of a breakup, ends up revealing his most honest feelings.

The washing machine is spitting out a load of dirty laundry, and the guitar is lying in a corner of the room covered in dust.The cherry blossoms outside the window are blooming wildly, and my head is spinning.I never thought that just a few lines of a song could describe my current situation so accurately.

Boynextdoor doesn’t ‘act young’ this time either.Instead, he speaks with a ‘young heart’.The time when six ‘boys’ chat all night long.It’s only at the end of the night that he finally says this.
“Hey… I guess I still can’t forget him.”
And the melody of someone breaking that silence.
“Just today… I love you.”

This song is sad, but strangely enough, it makes me want to dance.
Instead of playing the guitar, he turns the turntable, and instead of crying, he steps.Boynextdoor knows that when you move your body, your heart hurts less.

In the music video, the main character boy splits into six personalities after a failed confession.Each member plays a different personality.So, we all live with about twelve different versions of ourselves after a breakup.One of them speaks out with courage.
“Would it be okay if I told you and regretted it?”
That voice touches my heart.
Yeah.For today, that’ll be okay.

Even if I put down the guitar, even if I say something and regret it,
Don’t blame your foolishness today.
It bloomed where love had passed
Because it’s the most honest feeling.
