stereomorse I have a stupid tradition of buying just one digital album a year. The album that I liked the most. And this is your album. Thank you very much for this sound, this melancholy alternating with power and narrative, and for the sensuality of your music. I really like this record. Favorite track: Gravity.

1.
Frosty night air pierces my heart I stumbled standing on the precarious borderline Without knowing where to walk Wander alone in the darkness Me, shade of lost time Me, shadow nowhere
2.
Gravity 07:18
Standing on the borderline between life and death One day, I realized all of a sudden The overwhelming gravity of ideas Attracts me into the endless time of eternity
3.
Illusion 04:47
Paints of memories Toward the sun going down One day, I sprayed Flowed serenely Space wore the color of time Became a transparent watercolor Me, existed there Countless myselves
4.
Sometimes come to me Hazy scents of those times Misty memories of those days Oh, Brightly beautiful back then Suddenly occur to me Look around walking on the street Panoramic scenes of those days Oh, Brightly beautiful back then Oh, A spring day, unripe sleep, dream-like Too young to appreciate Beautiful unfilled blanks of those days Time passes, look back at last How brightly those moments shined Miss evermore Forget nevermore My very beautiful days
5.
Home 07:02
How long have wandered Now about to go back Where to be able to rest Where to be longed for me evermore
6.
Youth 05:10
Hello, have been well? In the wavy wind coming from somewhere My bygone-day self carried Oh, my green youth Those beautiful days I was in Close to reach Spread out before my eyes Hello, thanks my days In the wavy wind leaving for somewhere My bygone-day self scattered Oh, my green youth Those beautiful days I was in Waving their hands Goodbye to me, my farewell
7.
One day, in the sky that I stood still and looked at while walking on the crosswalk in front of Dunchon-dong Station Ond day, when the tranquil wind passed by my face and the Platanus on the street was swaying, In the sky that I stood still and looked at while walking on the crosswalk in front of Dunchon-dong Station
8.
Incense 08:02
9.
All decided at the very beginning Masked shadow under innocent smile Fake being Fell into a swamp deeper than darkness Imbued shadow on the mind and body Into doom path Me stare at me standing on the brink of despair Me laugh at me, my darkness not disappear Where to go, what to aim, why to live Losing all, hold day by day Living itself is for what Scent of death subdued in deprived life No longer human
10.
The end of time when the light fades The precarious borderline between hope and despair Beautiful days be colored with light Disappear soundlessly into the time of eternity The end of time when the light fades The precarious borderline between hope and despair

about
