Beyond [2. White Shade] 在寂静的阴影中与自己对视，寻找属于自己的自由。 正如过去那样，我想未来也会如此。曾经想要消除生活中的阴影，也试图隐藏它们，但我终于明白，不正视它们就无法前行。 我的阴影无边无际，宁静而耀眼，让一切都如实展现。如今，我可以平静地歌唱那令人心寒的脆弱模样。 强烈的解放感反而带来宁静。带着这样的心情，推出第二部分也就是最后的《White Shade》。 感谢所有陪伴我走完《彼方 (Beyond)》这段旅程的朋友们。 1. 曾经的星星 (Used Star) 这是第一部分里宇宙尘埃中一个故事。我相信每个人心中都怀揣着光，就像一颗颗星星。或许每个人都有最闪亮的时刻，随着时间流逝，光芒变得暗淡模糊，但星星仍是星星。我不知道自己正处在哪个阶段，但希望即便未来变得暗淡无光，心中的闪烁之光也不会熄灭。这首歌以温暖的原声吉他开场，再与清爽如夜空的合成器音色相连。2018年创作以来，一直珍藏着，试图发布单曲或EP，终于决定将它作为本专辑的首曲时，我感到找到了属于自己的位置。 2. 贪欲 (please be greedy) 如同一种幻想，彼此的爱足以解决所有苦难和矛盾，我渴望极致的爱，渴望被如此深深地爱着。这种贪欲在现实阴影中顽强地发芽，渴望融入你的贪欲之中。 希望让人有一种打开一本神秘的书，读到浓烈的爱情，带着余韵合上书本的感觉。强以采 (Kang E Chae) 的小提琴，‘亲爱的爵士乐团’成员林秀妍 (Lim Sooyeon) 的大提琴，以及强以采与河范锡 (Ha Beom Seok) 的曼陀林合奏为这首歌注入了强大的力量。 3. 嫉妒 (Jealous) 透过指尖的屏幕窥视他人的生活，满是羡慕之情。我觉得，被嫉妒侵袭之时，最令人悲伤的是那种无比的孤独。 希望用闪烁的钢琴音包裹住沉重的歌声，孤单地放置一旁。歌唱着那些我想成为却尚未成为的模样。 4. 太迟了 (Too Late) 这是第二部分里编曲最宏大的曲目。参与过单曲《斗争》的前辈李俊昊 (JUUNO) 和孙正 (Son Jung) 共同创造了这首专辑《彼方 (Beyond)》所呈现的巨大宇宙。 这首歌创作于数年前。为了定曲并完成编曲，久违地打开工作会话时，竟不禁泪流满面。过去的我似乎早已为今天的一切做好了准备。那段忙碌的时光，我多次下定决心坐在电脑前，如今歌词和过去的我仿佛跨越时间，为自己加油。 原歌词中始终是 “Too late”。虽同样蕴含着“不停止前行”的意志，但过去的歌词显得更加疲惫。多亏了老友申爱，这首歌焕发出清新的气息。 5. 祈祷 (PRAY) 神是否存在？如果存在，现在是否在看着我？若在看着，为何不将我从痛苦中解救出来？ 生活中那些寻求神的瞬间造就了这首歌词。也许因为成年前经历了父亲的去世，作为无信仰者的我寻找的神，时而是父亲，时而是未知的超然存在。 这是老搭档赵成泰 (Jo Sung Tae) 演奏曲时的一首作品，莫名地抚慰了我。在原有文字的启发下写出了歌词，并以此方向完成了旋律和编曲。 如同一个坐在山坡上眺望小镇，哼唱着自知的小调的天真孩子，歌唱生命彼方的存在，诉说着我们的渺小和脆弱。 希望这首歌能稍微减轻大家的重负。 2024年10月，敬上 [Credit] 1. 별사탕 (STAR CANDY) Composed by 선우정아 Lyrics by 선우정아 Arranged by 선우정아 Elec.
