★1 line cut: A familiar scent came from the new clothes I bought.
Singer Seo Young-eun is back with her new song, ‘Same Place.’ It became clear before the second verse even started.This is what is called Seo Young-eun’s ‘own retro style.’
It’s Seo Young-eun-like, and it’s Seo Young-eun’s own song.It’s a new song, but it feels like Seo Young-eun just pulled it out of a collection of hit songs, a sense of deja vu.She’s wearing new clothes, but it smells familiar.
‘Same Place’ is a song written by Seo Young-eun herself, and its soft melody and warm vocals warmly embrace everyday love.Lyrics like ‘I’ll always love you in the same place ‘and’ It doesn’t change even when the seasons pass ‘are full of Seo Young-eun’s unique ‘soft warmth’.That softness is also alive in the rhyme.”I’m sorry, I’m thankful, I’m happy, so I’m crying.” This is the emotional sequence that often appears in Seo Young-eun’s songs.
‘Same Place’ is a bright and cheerful ballad.It is not fast or intense.I have been calling this ‘Seo Young-eun Tempo’.Seo Young-eun’s ability to quickly cook the emotions of joy and sadness at opposite ends with the same tempo is almost magical.
The composition was done by Moon Sung-wook and Ye-eun, and the arrangement was done by Lim Young-woo and Ye-eun.The flow of the melody is natural and straightforward, and above all, its virtue is that it does not harm the texture and mood of the vocals.
‘You are a great gift to me, who always had the same day’, ‘You are the miracle of my life’, ‘You are my beginning and my end’.The reason why these sentences fit together well without being separate is because they resemble the way Seo Young-eun speaks, which we have heard for a long time.
The message conveyed by ‘Same Place’ is just heavy enough not to be burdensome.It is small enough to hold in one hand and does not go far.Everyday place, unchanging love, gratitude and tears.
So you listen to it longer.If, at this moment, the name of someone who gives you breath comes to mind, then this song has arrived at the right place.
