There was a time when I was lost in thought while looking at the dawn sky full of radiance. While walking the streets aimlessly, I would plop down on a bench and gaze at the desolation of the city, which boasted a variety of colors, and the people who used to walk along the streets chattering and talking on bright days felt unfamiliar. Even though I counted the stars one by one and looked for constellations, I soon gave up because my spot didn’t seem to be reflected anywhere. I kept rubbing my eyes and wiping my lenses, but my surroundings were blurry. My unprepared mind was floating and couldn’t keep up with my body, and I pulled up the blanket that I had no place to stay as a passerby’s soul. I gave myself over to the song I heard from my earphones and tried hard to block out the sounds of the world. I stared at the swaying mirage and cheered. I hoped that this noisy loneliness would end, that someone would find me by floating an old postcard on the river. Sometimes I would recall my traces from Donggu and waste time. Yes, I knew that it wasn’t very pleasant. From the day I left home to go somewhere that wasn't on the map, it was my will to cut myself off from the world and isolate myself. The night that was pitch black, so dark that it was painful, was my heart. Even though I know that what I should really cherish is the present moment. I blankly stare at the embers that remain. Under the dawn sky full of dew, many people who had passed by were looking at the moon, and this Seoul, which has no holy place, was strangely swallowing countless sorrows. We who live in reality, the shadows grow darker under the setting sun, and we who run away from reality, walk the streets of Seoul without a map, filled with regret and sincerity, ah. Rain stars. The moon I look down at is still full of dew. ------------------------------------------------- 0:00 Lacuna - 1998 04:01 The Poles - Stargazing 08:22 Nerd Connection - Star Communication 12:43 Na Sang Hyun Band - Eye Contact 16:06 Hathaway - Waves 20:02 Dasutt - It Better One Shot of Jameson 23:24 Kikuhashi - Picnic at Night 27:12 Broccoli You Too - Dance 31:09 JISOKURI - Me and Us 34:34 Kirinji - Aliens 40:34 Thorn Apple - Seoul (Instrumental)
