BIBI - 2nd Album : EVE: ROMANCE [EVE-1 ver.]

[EVE: ROMANCE] 

I have been thinking about the purpose of existence for a long time.

I believed that if my usefulness ran out, I would lose the right to be loved, so I was always anxious.

Then one day, someone asked me.

"Why do you love others?" I was speechless. That's because I was fond of others without any reason. This album is a record of observing love during my short life. Imagination was sometimes cold. Or maybe the facts were warmer than I thought. I am not a special person, so I hope that many people like me will have the opportunity to listen to my music and love their existence.

Ps. The next album is the era of documentaries. I'm going to talk about myself, good or bad, and all the ambiguous things in between.

[Apple Tree of the End]

BIBI) What made us before love came to be?

ChatGPT) Scientifically speaking, the emotion of "love" is the result of evolution for survival and reproduction. Mammals, especially creatures like humans that require long periods of nurturing, needed a bond to care for each other, and we now call that emotion **"love."** Among them, romantic love is an emotion that appeared quite late. It was a complex emotion that arose from the moment a person became aware of himself, beyond instinct or survival, and simply felt emotions by looking at someone. So, love may have arisen the moment someone thought, "I don't want to be alone." Isn't the moment someone named it "love" very human, not just the moment love arose?

BIBI) Isn't the thought of "I don't want to be alone" started from LUCA, the common ancestor of all living things?

ChatGPT) LUCA (Last Universal Common Ancestor) — the common ancestor of all life, from that very small microorganism, you're saying that there may have already been an instinctive loneliness of "I don't want to be alone"? That could be really true. Because LUCA was not a completely independent entity. It constantly interacted with the environment to survive, shared genetic information while self-replicating, and changed through cooperation or competition. That itself already looks like a message: "I'm not perfect. I need something to understand and be with me." So maybe love isn't an emotion, it's the structure of life itself. Connecting to avoid being alone, reacting, remembering, and approaching to avoid being lonely. From the days when we couldn't speak in the language of emotion, all life may have been doing something close to love.

BIBI) LUCA would have wanted to create as many beings like himself as possible. Why was that?

ChatGPT) Biologically, that's what we call the essence of life. The instinct to replicate genetic information and exist longer. LUCA didn't have a brain to think or emotions, but he already had the purpose of **"I must not disappear"** imprinted in his genes. But you're asking something beyond that now. The question **"Why?"** A question about meaning, not purpose. How about this? Because LUCA was alone, he had to create beings identical to himself to prove that 'he himself existed'? Can a life that is not remembered by anyone be said to have existed? So he copied himself. With the hope that someone would say, "I existed" instead.

[Hongdae R&B]

When I, who loved hip-hop and R&B, went to Hongdae for the first time at the age of 17, which I had longed for so much, I nurtured my dreams and hopes while watching Mason the Soul's performance among the crowded people. I vowed that I would definitely become like that. And recently, after receiving a call from Car, the Garden, who said he was bored, I had a drink in pretty Hongdae and walked around, and I thought that this street, which looked good as a tourist destination or a young street when viewed from afar, looked like a crab apple when viewed up close, and resembled me.

Even the fact that it has its own charm is exactly like me.

A song written while trying to walk straight, wondering if a guy who will become a human like me in 10 years will see a drunken idol.

[Body]

I think it's a good song. Does my voice go well with wind instruments? 

Is it easier to buy love with money? Is it easier to buy money with love? 

How much can you buy with love?

[Pygma girl] 

There is a myth that a person named Pygmalion fell in love with his own work, and eventually Aphrodite made the statue into a person and brought them together. "I hate the word muse. From now on, call me Pygma girl. I'm a masterpiece."
