It's a way to take care of the important people to me, and make them happy. To me that is music.
When first starting to make the songs and lyrics contained in the album, truthfully they were the release for me, of my complicated thoughts and emotions. I didn't know it would become an album.
- home
The song 'home' was the hardest and eaiest to make.
I didnt have to write down the lyrics, they were the things I was constantly thinking about.
-airbag
Since I dont know how to drive and going out during the early morning I always took taxi's. I thought and wrote lyrics the most as I rode inside a taxi. The feeling as I rode a taxi "looking out the window" and "the words from the radio" - in that moment it felt like everyone's loneliness was in one place. Lots of people are listening to my words but more than my words its is everyone's loneliness
- flowing tide (밀물)
Contrary to this songs mood, the song started from an erratic thought. I was eating and the seat next to me ate and left their grilled fish. I don't know where the thought came from, but I thought "they're just like me"
So the lyrics I wrote that day "life is a fishtank" I this thought it was something especially students and people beoming adults would feel a lot
-from the bottom (밑바닥에서)
It was hardest to write and difficult to record. It is very close to my heart, the story is the first verse is written to haejeong (his wife) second verse writtenis to my daughter. The ending has a voice of a child, it is my daughters.
Her voice was not especially recorded for this song but from when she was a newborn there was a lot of recoding. It was first time she said 'dad' - it took this out and put it in the song
-Dear TV
If for example if it (the TV) was a person, it would have been a complicated unknowable person. This is me writing a letter to this person.
-고마운 숨 (Thankful Breath).
The reason I have to stay alive, I open my eyes tomorrow. I just wrote these things down. A lot of very trivial things. Don't I feel happiness from these small things? So from there I feel a great meaning - wouldn't there be people everyday finding the strength to overcome many struggles.
Just the fact that my two friends and i have done this song toegther has great meaning.Movie star bong taegyu and yankie have been with me from the beginning.These two friends, they have comforted me and understood me, and I have reciprocated.
-유통기한 (Expire)
People in love would understand this. There is always a feeling of a reason for consideration. Someone comes to mind, then goes away. That fear is what I wanted to tell.
As i made this album, the result of making this album was that I smiled again. I hope people smile, would like if people feel hapiness from listening to this album
-bad
In this song; "You were the very reason I breathe for, but now you’re suffocating me" - it started with these lyrics.
The people I treasure the most give me the biggest scars. Is the reason because I give them bigger scars. Or is it the expectation the people wont be bad, due to this hope do you slowly get hurt more? It came out of these thoughts
