Soo-bin Soo-bin's 1st full-length album: As always
This album is about my life from the moment I first came to Seoul at the age of 21 to become a singer. I am singing about my youthful and clumsy appearance in my early twenties, the lonely and wandering time in my mid to late twenties, and now I am singing about reminiscing about the past, growing up, and talking about the future.
This is my first full-length album that contains the life I have lived and the feelings I felt during it. After listening to tracks 1 through 11, it will feel like one long song. As always, I will continue to sing and record the moments of my life.
1. 21
: When I left Busan and came to Seoul for the first time at the age of 21, wanting to become a singer. It was a clumsy and pitiful time when I didn't know anyone or listen to my songs.
2. That was love!
: Wouldn’t the love I gave go around and make someone somewhere smile? In the end, the answer is love!
3. Will you lean on me?
: I wanted to tell you that you can just lean next to me without any thoughts or worries.
4. I’ll come closer. Bye.
: In the past, I was a person who cared a lot about what others thought and could not approach others easily. First, my story from the time when it was difficult to even say ‘goodbye’.
5. Even though I know it won’t work
: Even though you push me away with harsh words and blame me, I still try to fill my empty heart because I like you.
6. Confuse
: I think I know, but I don't. I feel like I'm getting closer, but then I'm further away again. It was a time when I was wandering for a long time in an unknown mind.
7. Did anyone want me to be happy?
: A time when it felt like everyone had turned their backs on me and I had no one to lean on and was blaming myself. In the end, the answer I found was to let go little by little.
8. You should have told me it was okay
: There are feelings that are visible only after passing. Belated regret and regret, wishing I had said something nicer and told me it was okay.
9. You are the only one who shines
: I like taking walks at night. When I walk while listening to the sound of insects and look up at the night sky, a story I wanted to tell suddenly comes to mind.
10. Don't go
: When I look back on past memories, I was really soft and foolish back then. Still, because of who I was back then, I think I'm becoming a slightly different person now.
11. As always, we will continue to do so.
: This is what I want to say to everyone who wants to sing about my life and be with me for a long time, just like I have done so far.
