Hello, 안녕하세요, I’m back with issue 19 of ‘The Attic Playlist’! My name is Jiwon, and ‘The Attic Playlist’ is a series I have designed to introduce songs by musicians who are less popular to foreign listeners yet definitely worthy of recognition. In each issue, I will introduce five songs by different musicians. For every song, I will provide the full lyrics in Korean. Then, I will pick out a few lines from the lyrics that capture the mood of the song and provide a translation of them, so non-Korean speakers can also enjoy the meaning of them.

‘The Attic Playlist’ will be published once every two weeks.

This week’s theme

This week’s playlist

1. 어쿠루브(Acourve) - 그게 뭐라고(It Shouldn’t Be Anything of Importance)

2. 이소라(Lee So-Ra) - Tears

3. 존 박(John Park) - 그 노래(That Song)

4. 조원선(Cho Won-Sun) - 아무도, 아무것도(Nobody, Nothing)

5. 미드나잇 램프(Midnight Lamp) - 가끔 네가 그리울 때가 있어(I Miss You Sometimes) (Feat. 단비(Danbi))

I hope you have enjoyed the playlist, and feel free to comment below if you have any questions or concerns about my translation. I would also appreciate words of encouragement! All the Korean lyrics are from Naver Music, and all the videos are from Youtube.
