The cozy and quirky world of Young K's music cuts through the heart
Warm and wonderful Young K's musical world, through the heart
'Eternal' is an eternal serenade that Young K sings for My Day. The album name "Eternity", inspired by the real name Kang Young-hyun and Sunshine Hyun, is a companion of the singer's life and hopes for an unbelieving eternity thanks to my day, so Yeongkay's determination to sing for them forever is melting away.
"Eternal" is Young K's eternity serenade for fan My Day. Focusing on the original title of Jiang Yonghui (永 is meaning forever forever, 晛 is meaning sunshine 晛), the album titled "Forever" contains Young K's firm determination that, thanks to My Day, as the singer's life partner and best friend, can look forward to the once disbelieving forever, for them, Young K will sing forever.
In addition to the name of the album, Yeongkei led the production process, including selecting album orientation and composing all songs. With Yeongkei's touches everywhere, "Eternal" is a more authentic album. Because I wrote the whole song with the title track in mind, I was able to create an album that was not without any title track.
Young K not only dominated the name of the album, but also dominated the recording process such as the selection of the direction of the album and the lyrics and composition of the whole song. Produced by Young K, Eternal was able to be completed with a more sincere album. Because all the songs were written as title tracks, an album was born that was no less than which of the included songs was the title track.
When asked by a reporter, "I decided to name an eternity that I didn't believe in, and I wanted to sing on this album forever," Youngkay said, "I was inspired by the title track and built the album name "Eternal". What's the end of "I'll hug you all the way" and where? The thought was the desire that "I just hope the end has not come." I think this is in the same vein as I want for eternity, so I built it as Eternal. I want to continue singing because I love this moment enough, and I think this heart can go forward with "a desire to be faithful to the present without regret."
As for the reporter's "forever setting the unbelief as the album title, I wonder what is the opportunity to include a sincere desire to sing forever in this album?" Young K, who asked, said: "I took inspiration from the title song and decided to name it 'Eternal'. What is the 'last' in 'I'll hug to the end'? And where? After the distress came to the conclusion that "I hope it doesn't end there". This seems to be the same as the desire to be eternal, so it was named "Eternal". Because I love this moment of my present moment enough, I hope that I will sing forever, and this mood can now go on with 'don't regret it, be true to what I think now'. "
The title track "I'll Hug You to the End", which vows to be a strong bodyguard to the end even if the world collapses, and "Come As It Is", a sub-title track that will reach out to grateful fans who have found themselves, is a song that clearly illustrates the theme that penetrates Eternal.
Vowing to be the lead song of a strong bodyguard even if the world collapses, "I Will Hug You to the End", the chorus "Just Come" that expresses to fans who find themselves grateful to be approached first as today is a song that runs through the theme of "Eternal".
There is also a deep fan love in the songs such as "Best Song", "Microphone", which will be your microphone, "want to love you" who wants to convey happiness to fans who love you, and "Well-grown my man" who wants to fall deep sleep because you don't remember the end of the song. These are sweet, cozy whisper-like lyrics to your loved one. In particular, the quirky words that anthropophize fans with songs and micro-anthropophize themselves are represented by lyrical ability to capture and express ordinary everyday moments.
If there are no fans, "Best Song", which can't even be sung for a short time, "Microphone", which wants to be your microphone, "Want to Love You", which conveys himself and happiness to fans who give too much love, even if you can't remember the end of the song, I hope that everyone can sleep well" and other collection songs are full of deep love. These lyrics are like sweet and warm whispers for a loved one. In particular, the wonderful lyrics that anthropomorphize the fans into songs, anthropomorphize themselves into microphones, and the ordinary daily moments captured are expressed in a special way, which shows the outstanding lyrics ability.
Yeongkei said of his writing method, "After listening, I tried to write lyrics that I needed to understand again, but I could understand them all at once and get right in touch. I always think about what changes I can try and how I can develop. I've wanted a song that resonates with as many people as possible. I've picked a song that can be applied at various moments. I tried to describe the emotions and situations of the moment because emotions can be shared."
Young K said of his lyrics: "It's also good to have lyrics that you need to understand again after listening, but try to write lyrics that you can understand once and touch people's hearts directly." I also often think about what kind of changes I can try and how to develop them. Songs that have always wanted to resonate with most people as much as possible have chosen lyrics that apply to a variety of moments. Because feelings can be shared, I try to describe the feelings and situations of that moment. "
