01. Beautiful Ashes
Lyrics by Yonghoon, Giuk
Composed by Jeondown (RBW), Yonghoon, Giuk
Arranged by Jeondown (RBW), Kanghyun, Harin
A place filled with emptiness and noisy silence, where paradoxes abound – the incinerator of memories.
Our vaguely charred traces are grey, yet so beautiful.
Starting with an opening like a monologue, the arrangement with its perfect build-up unreservedly expresses surging longing and regret.
Recalling the warmth of that time, now unfelt, we let the burning memories fly away.
'I guess I have to discard everything, here at the incinerator of memories.'
02. Shoot It Out
Lyrics by Kanghyun, Giuk
Composed by Kanghyun, Kokodubuappa (RBW)
Arranged by Kokodubuappa (RBW), Kanghyun
Notes in close proximity sometimes create dissonance.
When you and I, who produced different sounds, shared the same name in a parallel universe, we finally became a melody.
The sharp, piercing guitar sound shoots a powerful signal towards you, while the heavy yet nimble bass and drum beats endlessly spread to reach that end.
'Shoot It Out more to you'
03. Meteor Shower
Lyrics by Giuk
Composed by Giuk, Gray Dot
Arranged by Giuk, Gray Dot
The countless stairs we climbed with you, who especially loved the night sky. Even when standing in the same place, my gaze was entirely on you.
That day, etched deeply within me, when I realized it wasn't just the stars shining brightly in the darkness, and I could draw you without hesitation even with my eyes closed.
The descending and ascending piano lines represent a heart falling uncontrollably in love, while the brilliant guitar solo in the latter half expresses the radiance of a falling meteor shower.
'Numerous meteor showers missed while gazing at you'
04. Count The Stars
Lyrics by Yonghoon, Giuk
Composed by Yonghoon, Jeondown (RBW)
Arranged by Jeondown (RBW), Yonghoon
Do you know that all the seasons we spent together and the layered moments were never a coincidence?
Your smile made flowers bloom even in sub-zero weather, and the language of those flowers was 'love.' A night I whisper to you, asleep on my shoulder.
Based on spacious sound, the dreamy yet flawless performance fills the song with emotion, and the simple yet beautiful lyrics express the sincerity contained within even more deeply.
'I'll always run to you and hold your hand tightly, so I can never let go.'
05. Kiss in the Rain
Lyrics by Dongmyeong, Giuk
Composed by Jeondown (RBW), Dongmyeong, Kokodubuappa (RBW), Giuk
Arranged by Jeondown (RBW), Kokodubuappa (RBW)
We all stand under our own dark clouds every day.
Everything we dreamed of has long been hidden within those dark clouds. But perhaps it was I who truly hid.
The arpeggios of retro piano chords and jazzy blues rhythms give warm comfort to a frozen heart, and the romantic lyrics flowing over them console the 'me' who was crying yesterday.
'No matter what misfortune comes, let's just smile and dance, in the rain. Freely. Let's love.'
06. Pleasant
Lyrics by Harin, Yonghoon, Giuk
Composed by Harin, Jeondown (RBW)
Arranged by Jeondown (RBW), Harin, Kanghyun
The faint yet brilliant 'memory' was the only thing that could endure the emptiness of absence.
In the end, everything becomes the past, and we become one again.
The synthesizer sound announcing the beginning of the song signals a new starting line, and the relentless drum beat is like our race forward.
'Recalling our moments, hoping to be together until a time closest to eternity.'
