09 S#1.
S#1.
A woman has Alzheimer’s disease. The woman bursts into tears and tells her to leave. The man just smiles and hugs the woman. The image of a woman spouting harsh words with an expression asking her to stay by her side and a man giving a cheerful greeting with an expression about to collapse at any moment hurt the viewer’s heart even more.
‘S#1.’ is Rocky’s solo song, and it is a song that puts a movie into music. It is characterized by cinematic elements such as dramatic developments and twists, projector sounds, dialogue-style lyrics, and narration. The beautiful melody, opposite to the sad lyrics, further maximizes the heartbreaking love between a man and a woman.
