Samuel Seo – I Hate Holidays

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=reWS7-AC5_M

Verse 1)
I hate it when the places I always go to are filled to the brink with people
I hate it when places that are normally quiet become loud
I hate it so much when roads that are normally empty become clogged
I hate it when the normally refreshing air turns heavy


늘 가던 곳이 사람들로 꽉 차는게 싫어
늘 조용하던 곳이 시끄러워지는게 싫어
늘 뚫려 있던 도로가 막히는게 너무나 싫어
늘 청량하던 공기가 무거워지는게 싫어

I have such a hard time when I realize that something I believed was mine is actually not
I really hate pretending to be happy on holidays
Today out of all days I hate my room that seems especially dark
I really hate pretending to be happy on holidays, I hate them

내 것이라 믿던게 사실 아닐 때 너무 힘들어
쉬는 날이 되면 행복한 척 하는게 난 너무 싫어
유독 어둡게 느껴지는 방 안이 오늘 따라 싫어
쉬는 날이 되면 행복한 척 하는게 난 너무 싫어 싫어

Chorus)
I just hate holidays
They make me feel lost in nowhere
I just hate holidays
They make me belong to nowhere

Holidays
Holidays
Holidays
I hate them

Holidays
Holidays
Holidays
난 싫어

Verse 2)
I extremely hate the especially clear sky on holidays
I hate that I don’t have time to go somewhere and relax
I hate my phone that alerts me of my schedule the moment I take a breath
At times like those I really hate those days when many people are especially happy


휴일에 유독 깨끗한 하늘이 나는 무지 싫어
맘 놓고 어디 가서 쉴 여유가 없는게 싫어
한숨을 돌릴 만 하면 일정이 뜨는 전화가 싫어
그럴 때 유독 행복한 사람이 많은 날이 너무 미워

I really hate the burden of it having to be a special day
I really hate people who are happy on holidays
Today out of all days I hate my room that seems especially dark
All I have left at the end of a holiday are sighs, so I really hate them, I hate them

특별한 날인 마냥 부담 갖게 되는 것이 너무 싫어
쉬는 날이 되면 행복한 사람들이 난 너무 미워
유독 어둡게 느껴지는 방 안이 오늘 따라 싫어
쉬는 날의 끝은 한숨만 남아서 나는 너무 싫어 싫어

Chorus)
I just hate holidays
They make me feel lost in nowhere
I just hate holidays
They make me belong to nowhere

Holidays
Holidays
Holidays

Samuel Seo – G O Y O

Intro)
It’s all peaceful
All, all


다 고요해
다 다

Verse 1)
As if reacting to the peaceful night
there’s a soft vibration
A welcome phone call
A very precious one


고요한 밤에 반응한 듯
작은 진동이 와
울리는 반가운 전화
너무도 소중한

As I take it,
[I notice that] my friend’s voice
is still quiet and low,
just like his peaceful character

받아보면 여전한
친구의 고요한
성격 같은 조용한
나지막한

Pre-Chorus)
We talk about going for a drink
“Your life seems so impressive, I’m always
envious of you,” you say through the phone
My mouth feels dry. Actually, we are all the same


목소리와 같이 술 한잔 하잔 얘기
화려한 삶을 사는 것 같다고 늘
부럽다 말하는 네 전화기 너머
내 목이 타 사실 똑같잖아 우린 모두

Chorus)
Peaceful, we’re all peaceful, all peaceful
Our lives all resemble each other
Peaceful, we’re all peaceful, all peaceful
Our days and nights are all the same


고요해 모두 고요해 모두 고요해
다들 사는 게 다 비슷해
고요해 모두 고요해 모두 고요해
우리 낮과 밤은 다 똑같아

Hook)
Pea-pea-peaceful
Our days and nights are all the same
Pea-pea-peaceful
We’re the same except for the clothes we wear


고 고 고요해
우리 낮과 밤은 똑같애
고 고 고요해
입는 옷을 빼곤 똑같애

Pea-pea-peaceful
We’re the same except for the friends we hang out with
Pea-pea-peaceful
Not glamorous, the same

고 고 고요해
노는 친구 빼곤 똑같애
고 고 고요해
화려하지 않아 똑같애

Verse 2)
There is no end to the comparisons
It’s very vague
Each lives their days differently
So very peaceful


비교하면 더 끝이 없는
너무나 막연한
각자 다른 하루의
너무도 고요한

Today too, the magazines
feature the lives of
very glamorous people
In the long run, those too are peaceful

잡지 안엔 오늘도
너무나 화려한
사람들의 하루 또한
결국엔 고요한

Pre-Chorus)
The same days, without anything special to them, we’re just
doing slightly different things, there’s no difference
Even though we live differently, remember that we don’t
have to envy each other since we all live the same life, we are all


특별할 것 없는 같은 하루 좀 다른
일을 할 뿐 다를 게 하나도 없는
사는 게 달라도 부러울 게 없는
똑같은 삶이란 걸 기억해 우린 모두

Chorus)

Hook)

Bridge)
Even if we run out of topics to talk about because we do different things
May there never be reason for us to envy each other
Even though we’re on different paths and [the other one] might seem more glamorous
Just see it as us doing different things


하는 일이 달라 대화거리가 떨어지더라도
서로 부러워할 일은 절대 없길
가는 길이 달라 좀 화려해 보여도
그냥 다른 일을 하는 것이려니 해

My room is glamorous every day
I don’t want it to be filled with someone’s yearning
This room that seems to be glamorous every day
is the very same today too, every day when night comes it is

매일 화려한 내 방안이
누군가의 동경으로 채워지는 것은 원치 않아
매일 화려할 것 같은 이
방안은 오늘도 너무나 똑같아 매일 밤이 되면은

Chorus)

Hook)

Samuel Seo takes first step towards ‘UNITY’ with single ‘Jazz In My’

Freedom from the restrictions of language. Samuel Seo has pre-released the digital single ‘Jazz In My‘ off his upcoming new project ‘UNITY’.

Talented artist Samuel Seo released his first solo single in 2011. He has worked with diverse artists on a broad range of music genres. His discography includes two full-lengths albums and one mini album, numerous singles, featurings, and collaborations.
This year, he took part in Mnet’s Breakers, introducing his music to an even greater audience.

Samuel Seo’s previous single, ‘Off You‘, came out in October last year. In the meantime, the artist has started work on a new project, titled ‘UNITY‘. Watch the trailer of the project below!

Fans get a first taste of the project with this new single. The song started with the idea that without the restrictions of language, one could try anything and be happy. Samuel Seo felt that people thoughtlessly say things that limit their capabilities, keeping hidden potential from being discovered. Thus, he expressed “the neither positive nor negative freedom from language” through the free-spirited, improvised music of jazz.

And this song does leave a wide space for expression with its basicness, using a swinging beat, a stimulating drum loop and shouting, and brass sounds. Guitarist Young Deok Jo and body percussionist San add even more liveliness to the track.

You can find the single on iTunes/Apple Music.
