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

[EVE: ROMANCE] 

I have been contemplating 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. It was because I was fond of others without a 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 will be 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 existed?

ChatGPT) From a scientific point of view, the emotion of "love" is the result of evolution for survival and reproduction. Mammals, especially creatures that require long-term nurturing like humans, needed a bond to take care of each other, and we now call that emotion **"love"**. Among them, romantic love is a relatively late emotion. Beyond instinct or survival, the emotion of simply looking at someone arose from the complex emotion that people have when they become aware of themselves. So, love may have arisen when someone first thought, "I don't want to be alone." Isn't the moment when someone named it "love," not the moment when love arose, also very human?

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, there may have already been an instinctive loneliness of "I don't want to be alone"? That might be really right. Because LUCA was not a completely independent entity. It is a being that constantly interacts with the environment to survive, shares genetic information while self-replicating, and changes through cooperation or competition. That itself already looks like a message: "I am not perfect. I need something to understand and be with me." So maybe love is not an emotion, but the structure of life itself. Connecting to not be alone, reacting, remembering, and approaching to not be lonely. From the time 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 or emotions to think about, but he had already imprinted the purpose of **"I must not disappear"** in his genes. But you're asking something beyond that now. The question of **"Why?"**. A question about meaning, not purpose. How about this? Because LUCA was alone, he had to create a being exactly like himself to prove that 'he himself existed'? Can a life that is not remembered by anyone be said to have existed? So he replicated himself. With the hope that someone would say, "I existed" instead of him.

[Hongdae R&B]

When I, who loved hip-hop and R&B, went to Hongdae for the first time at the age of 17, 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 like a tourist attraction or a young street from afar, looked like a crabapple when I looked closely, and it resembled me.

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

A song written while trying to walk straight so that a guy like me 10 years later 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 work, and eventually Aphrodite turned the statue into a person and made them one. "I don't like the word muse. From now on, call me Pygma girl. I'm a masterpiece."
