Jannabi's 4th Full-length Album [Sound of Music pt.2: LIFE]
The Sound of Music series was a truly valuable project. Even while performing countless shows, the slight sense of responsibility that 'this project remains with us' allowed us to diligently head to the studio, resulting in the release of 20 tracks this year. It was enjoyable and happy.
Actually, when dividing this project into two parts, there wasn't much thought beyond Part 1 being space and Part 2 being earth—just these two concepts. With just that, we hastily worked on Part 1 first, believing that Part 2 would naturally emerge as a reaction. This album was primarily created while walking, with the gait of an earthling. I think it pairs well with autumn...
1. Earth
This song commemorates the daily, continuous landing on land, stepping out of bed and putting one's feet down. It's a story depicting the moment of touching the earth.
<Having set foot on the ground, the subsequent tracks aimed to trace a trajectory of returning to the present reality by looking back at the life lived.>
2. After School Activity
This is a story from adolescence. It's about a teacher trying to identify a bicycle thief and students being called out one by one, and the story behind it.
I wanted to capture a story of adolescence full of rebellion. Like Yutaka Ozaki's 'A Fifteen-Year-Old's Night,' or Bruce Springsteen's 'Born to Run' (though not a story specifically about adolescence)—songs like that. You know, that symbol of a defiant boy running wild. However, I grew up in a comfortable apartment complex, receiving ample love from my parents and neighbors. If I were to search my memories for the most rebellious scene, it would be opening my room window wide and loudly playing Ozzy Osbourne's music to show off my infatuation with heavy metal. That's about the extent of it. So, I couldn't write a song like that.
While writing the song, I recalled a few memories about that precarious line in adolescence. One of them, which became the main event of the song (though expressed as a bicycle in the lyrics), was being called into the faculty office as a suspect in an MP3 theft case. Students were being called in one by one, and the one thing I thought of to prove my innocence was this: 'I have a newer one with more storage capacity.' Now, more than a decade later, what's stuck in my mind is the teacher's reply: 'That doesn't matter.' I had thought the teacher simply disliked me. But it was a somewhat different story, especially for adolescents. (Continued...)
3. Farewell, First Love -
This is the title track. First love contains more than I thought... This song is not just about first love, but also about me in that transitional period of becoming an adult. My story, which wasn't always fresh and innocent. Since it was so long ago, I thought I wouldn't feel much, but as I started writing the lyrics, my heart felt heavy all by itself. But, well... farewell with a smile!!
4. Oh, New York City
On my first trip to New York at age 26, I saw the huge buildings and had many complex thoughts. Seeing the Empire State Building, I first encountered a burgeoning ambition. Afterwards, there was a time when I dreamed of towering aspirations and grand goals, like skyscrapers! And a great life derived from them. This song looks back at the beginning of that era.
This song was completed together with Do-hyeong and my brother during a trip to New York in 2022. I worked on it based on a phone voice memo file, wanting to capture the exact feeling of the voice memo recorded that day.
5. Jack Kerouac (feat. Yang Hee-eun)
It's literally a song about youth. Youth engulfed in the dreams and ambitions mentioned above. There's a lyric about a 'young whirlwind,' and I thought of youth as an event where one gets caught up in such a vortex. As written in the lyrics, I believe it's a time of getting caught up in unknown emotions, laughing heartily and widely. Even though the lyrics for the first and second verses are similar, I liked how the messages felt completely different when sung by Teacher Yang Hee-eun and myself, so I removed the harmony parts and completed it as entirely separate monologues.
6. Mother (feat. Lee Su-hyun)
When you hang out with musician friends, you end up living such an immature life. It's not my friends' fault; it seems the subject of music just makes people that way. Meanwhile, neighborhood friends are becoming mothers and fathers one by one. These are lyrics I wrote on the way back from my friend's daughter's first birthday party. I thought about what I, and my friends, would want to pass on if we became parents.
I don't know about Su-hyun, but I consider Su-hyun my closest contemporary colleague. That's why I thought it was even more meaningful to do this song together. I also played the role of a mother in AKMU's song 'Fisticuffs,' so it feels like this work is a continuation.
7. Mountain Man
This song is about aging, something I vaguely imagined. It sounds like a traditional folk song, almost like a lullaby from a grandmother or grandfather carrying and lulling to sleep the baby born from the 'Mother' above... I had such imaginations. Except for the latter part of the lyrics, I sat in front of the microphone and wrote the lyrics in real-time, which was an interesting process.
8. A Heroic Tale of Summer I
I worked on this song recalling the most 'summery' summer of my life. I like the narration arranged like a patchwork in the latter half and the chorus part that parodies the 'Do-Re-Mi Song.' While creating the song, I felt various summers flash by like a revolving lantern. So I wanted to write a story about summer, and I wrote it recalling a particular summer when I literally felt like a guerrilla unit operative.
9. TV Commercial for a Summer Night Feat of Strength Show: Sweat and Stardust (skit)
How should I put it? It's a self-parody of Jannabi's branded summer and fantasy.
10. Mia's Memories and Universe
Personally, it's the song with my favorite lyrics. It's a demo track created in 2018. It was planned for inclusion in 'Legend', but it couldn't be included because the lyrics weren't completed. I had done the guide in fake French. Because of that, it wasn't easy to attach Korean lyrics. Thanks to the crickets in the field by an autumn fortress that inspired me.
11. All Boys and Girls 3: Glory
The 'All Boys and Girls' (Mosososo) series is a story about dreams. I have an 'All Boys and Girls' alter ego within me. I wanted to write about holding hands with many people who have returned to reality. It's an underdog story about quickly overturning the advantage by holding hands from the lowest crawling position. A struggle once begun never truly ends.
12. Sound of Music
We love music. We love it deeply because it is the most beautiful thing among all things in the world. We hope that music becomes a great strength for you too. We cheer on the sleepless nights of all earthlings who evenly mark their steps on the ground, as if riding a rhythm.
Thank you. This was Jannabi from Sound of Music.
