1) TEN, Seoul (K-Pop & C-Pop)
Chittaphon Leechaiyapornkul (born on February 27, 1996), better known by his stage name TEN (Korean:텐, Chinese:李永钦), is a Thai singer and dancer of Chinese descent based in South Korea. He is best known as a member of the boy group NCT (including the sub-units NCT U , WayV and WayV-TEN&YANGYANG). He is also a member of the SM Entertainment's project "supergroup" SuperM with other artists from the same label.
Ten released his first solo single "몽중몽; Dream In A Dream" on April 7th, 2017. He followed this up a year later with single "New Heroes" which released on April 6th, 2018. On August 10, 2021, three years since his last solo song, Ten released "Paint Me Naked" through SM Station. During this time, he also released and promoted a unit single with WayV member YangYang, "Low Low" on August 17, 2021. On October 26, 2022, Ten released his fourth digital single, "Birthday," an R&B dance genre song that is the fifth release of NCT LAB, a sub-project of STATION.
On February 13, 2024, after much anticipation, Ten released TEN, his debut mini album. Featuring six tracks, including title track "Nightwalker", the album topped the iTunes charts of 18 countries, landing in the top 20 of thirty countries around the world. To support the album, Ten held several solo fan concerts, each concert selling out almost instantly.
2) Ten, United Kingdom ( hard rock )
The debut album was crafted by the late producer Mike Stone. It was released in May 1996 selling 20'000 copies in Japan where the group immediately gained a rabid following.
This set the wheels in motion for the recording of a second album, 'In The Name Of The Rose', that was released later the same year and began work on a third album in 1997.
A year ending trek to Japan resulted in the group's Japanese label, Zero Corporation, releasing a double live package in early 1998.
The third album, The Robe, was a huge step forward in the sound of TEN, leading strongly towards epic and majestic atmospheres and influences. Songs like the title track, "Arcadia" and "Ten Fathoms Deep" are considered to be amongst the best expressions of the British hard rock of the 90's.
However, their major commercial success - especially in Europe - came with their following album Spellbound, in 1999. The record had all the elements which decreed the vast success of TEN within the hard rock fans: melody and class, but also power and epic atmospheres, inherited by the tradition of the British bands of the 70's such as Rainbow, Thin Lizzy and UFO.
A few line-up changes (most notably Steve McKenna taking on bass duties and Don Airey and Paul Hodson later on keyboards) did not really change the musical styles and success of the band that also gathered a great exposure and acclaim with the following release Babylon, a concept album based on a futuristic story of a computer programmer and his tragic love affair.
The following two records Far Beyond the World(2001) and Return to Evermore (2004, which saw the début of the new guitar ace Chris Francis, taking the place of Vinny Burns) served only to solidify the band’s reputation for great music and exquisite arrangements in great melodic hard rock fashion.
To mark the band’s 10th anniversary, a two disc album The Essential Collection was issued in January 2006, comprising the best Rockers and Ballads re-recorded in the style of how the band currently play their music.
Ten’s most recent appearance was in March this year at the Atarfe Vega Rock Festival in Spain, where they appeared to great critical acclaim along side WASP, Twisted Sister and Stryper.
The next album released was "The Twilight Chronicles". It is a mixture of rock and ballads with a strong atmospheric mood and lyrics that tell tales of love, lust, death, glory, revenge and darkness.
Ten's latest album was released in Japan in January 2011, with European & US release following in February 2011. The album is called "Stormwarning", and is an inspiration for tales of glory, war, and death and of course love.. And even for the well acquainted, Ten re-ignite memories of their earlier albums “The Name of The Rose” and “Spellbound”.
“Stormwarning” is Ten’s ninth original studio album. Considered by many fans and critics to be the best expression of British Classic Hard Rock in the nineties, Ten have won several reader’s charts in BURRN magazine (Japan’s leading HR / HM publication) and entered the sales charts in Germany as well Japan.

Battlefield
TeN Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When the day starts to fade
And return to the night
In a flickering cadence
Like pale candlelight
It's for you
And only for you...
When the stars leave the sky
In celestial flight
Close their twinkling eyes
As they fade and they die
It's for you
And only for you...
So the night flows on
In the darkness comes soliloquy
But you can't respond
'Till the nightmares wane
Somewhere out beyond this battlefield
I'll be waiting for you
My light won't diminish know this stone won't yield
I will rescue you somehow
In the name of desire
As the beast that arrives
Stumbles into the fire
Though it burns him alive
It's for you
And only for you...
When the last in the line
Speaks the words to confide
Weaving un-whispered rhymes
Of a love deep inside
It's for you
And only for you...
So the night flows on
In the darkness comes soliloquy
But you can't respond
'Till the nightmares wane
Somewhere out beyond this battlefield
I'll be waiting for you
My light won't diminish know this stone won't yield
I will rescue you somehow
Somewhere out beyond this battlefield
I'll be waiting for you
My light won't diminish know this stone won't yield
I will rescue you somehow
Somewhere out beyond this battlefield
The lyrics of "Battlefield" by TeN evoke a sense of longing and perseverance in the face of adversity. The song begins with a description of the end of the day, when the stars fade and the night takes over. The singer describes how their feelings are solely for a specific person, and as the song progresses, it becomes clear that this person is someone for whom the singer will fight to protect and rescue.
The line "somewhere out beyond this battlefield" suggests a sense of distance between the singer and the person they are addressing. The idea of a battlefield also adds to the song's themes of war and conflict, as well as sacrifice and bravery. The singer promises that they will wait for this person, and that their "light won't diminish," implying that they will remain strong and committed to their cause.
As the night flows on and the darkness brings soliloquy, the singer acknowledges that the person they are addressing may not be able to respond until their nightmares wane. This line further emphasizes the theme of conflict and the idea that the person in question may be struggling with their own internal battles.
Overall, while "Battlefield" may seem like a love song on the surface, it is ultimately a testament to the strength of human will and determination in the face of adversity.
Line by Line Meaning
Somewhere out beyond this battlefield
There is a place beyond this troubled situation that we're in.
When the day starts to fade
As the day turns into night.
And return to the night
As the darkness of night returns again.
In a flickering cadence
In a rhythm that is unstable and uncertain.
Like pale candlelight
Like a dim light that flickers like a candle.
It's for you
Everything that is happening is for you.
And only for you...
And no one else, just you.
When the stars leave the sky
As the stars disappear from the sky.
In celestial flight
As they soar into the heavens.
Close their twinkling eyes
As their shimmering glow fades away.
As they fade and they die
As their light disappears and they are gone forever.
So the night flows on
The darkness of the night continues endlessly.
In the darkness comes soliloquy
In the dark, we are left alone with our thoughts.
But you can't respond
You are unable to voice your thoughts.
'Till the nightmares wane
You must wait for the bad dreams to go away.
I'll be waiting for you
I'll be there for you when you need me.
My light won't diminish
My hope and love will remain strong.
Know this stone won't yield
I will be steadfast and strong for you.
I will rescue you somehow
I will find a way to save you from this battlefield.
In the name of desire
For the sake of love.
As the beast that arrives
Just like a monster that shows up.
Stumbles into the fire
Falls victim to its own destruction.
Though it burns him alive
Even though it is painful and destructive.
When the last in the line
When the final person speaks.
Speaks the words to confide
Shares their innermost secrets.
Weaving un-whispered rhymes
Creating a beautiful and secret message.
Of a love deep inside
Of a powerful love that is felt within.
Somewhere out beyond this battlefield
There is a place beyond this fight that we're in.
I'll be waiting for you
I will be there for you.
My light won't diminish
My love and hope will stay strong.
Know this stone won't yield
I won't give up or break under pressure.
I will rescue you somehow
I will find a way to save you from this battlefield.
