MOT(못) - The Five Sacks (다섯개의 자루)
I love eAeon(이이언)’s singing AND narrating voice sooooo freaking much T_T
his voice made this track sound very intense and made the listener wondering what exactly this whole story is talking about.
some say it’s about burying bodies after murder, and some say it’s literally about putting away the “bluest days in his life” (whatever that is) and move on.
and of course I’m for the first one, definitely
what do you all think? :D
Narration (Orig):
나는 파랗던 날들을 다섯개의 자루에 나누어 담았다.
자루들은 크고 무거웠다.
난 믿을수 있는 친구들을 불러 차의 트렁크에 자루를 실었다.
자루들에선 잘 설명할수 없는 익숙한 냄새가 났고
그것이 우리를 조심스럽게 혹은 경건하게 했다.
그러나 눈물을 참는식으로 아무도 입을 열진 않았다.
차로 두시간을 달려 도착한 어두운 강가에서 200m정도의 간격으로
네개의 자루를 물속에 버리고 하나는 근처의 숲에 묻었다.
숲에 묻는것에 대해선 이견이 있었다.
누군가 내게 흔들리는 거냐고 물었지만 다그친투는 아니었다난 작게 끄덕였다
그러나 모두 나를 이해했다
단호함의 뒷면이 얼마나 쓸쓸한 모양인지 우리는 잘 알고 있었다.
모든 것이 끝나가자, 끝나가는 모든 것들
특유의 느슨함이 대기 중에 스며 나왔다
그러나 무엇이든 곧 우리를 다시 조여 올 것이다.
Narration (Trans):
I divided and put the bluest days of my life into the five sacks.
The sacks were huge and heavy.
I gathered some friends whose reliable and put the sacks into the car trunk.
There was familiar yet unexplainable smell from the sacks
and those smell made us either cautious or pious.
But none of us opened our mouth as if we’re holding the tears.
We drove two hours and stopped at the dark riverside.
We drowned four sacks into the water, each in two meters apart,
and buried the last one in the forest close by the river.
We had different opinions about burying the sack.
Someone asked me if I was hesitating but not in the pushy way.
But somehow everybody understood me.
We all are aware of how desolate it gets for being determined.
When everything has reached to the end, the slackness that is unique to “things coming to an end” pervaded into the atmosphere.
However, something else will strangle us. Pretty soon.At first I thought it was “sacks” of people…someone murdered people and were gonna go bury it with their friends…and that hella creeped me out and then I reread the translation. Thank god. but then again………….WUUT D:::: Sdjfksndjkndsfkj
and then the ending….
o-o . uh.
p.s. I love how his voice is so deep in this omg it’s like a totally different voice. I really like it though ahhaa XD but the music is kinda creepy so it’s kinda suggesting the literal burying the dead bodies…urm. WELL. O___O
It does sound like his talking about sacks of dead bodies or something, of course it is mostly because of the music and his cold voice xD
However in one of the interviews that eAeon(the singer/narrator) did, he revealed that this song was about his personal memory, which he didn’t revealed thoroughly lol
He assured that it wasn’t about “scene after the murder”.
But oh well, who knows what this is really about lol. It is you the listener’s right to feel whatever the hell you want about this song.
By the way, I love the little twists he did during this song, that made people confuse whether or not this is about cleaning up the mess of a murder or just merely talking about letting go of his youth (past) ;P
old footage of Twin Folio - White Handkerchief (probably around 1988)
I love the vocal of Song Chang-shik (guy on the right) and harmony that Yoon Hyung-joo (guy on the left) makes
Twin Folio FTW T_T)b
and YES I’m gonna teach myself how to play this song with my guitar lol

Super Kidd - Don’t Say Farewell So Easily (그리 쉽게 이별을 말하지 말아요)
Epitone Project - Spring Days, Cherry Blossoms, and You (봄날, 벚꽃 그리고 너)
10cm - 죽겠네 (It’s killing me) (live from the show ”Sketchbook” on 06/11/2010)
in this case, it’s “killing me” in good way
from this song it says “I don’t know what to do, cuz you are beautiful just as you are (even though you are not smiling), it’s killing me just to look at you” lol
anyways,
I FREAKING IN LOVE WITH THESE GUYS!! 10cm!!
they wanted to be called as “Manhattan-ish styled band with full of intellectual charm” because the word Manhattan sounds so cool and luxurious hahahahaha
I heard that they were the “Sons of the Rock”, which means they were actually trying to form a rock band before this 10cm thing
but things didn’t really worked out lol
I think they should just continue with this acoustic thing cuz the vocal really suits well with the whole atmosphere they’re having right now gaaaahhhhhh
don’t ever change anything please!!!!
just put out some more albums so I can own one xD
gogogo 10cm ;D
Mongoos - Dancing Zoo (몽구스 - 춤추는 동물원)
10cm - Tonight, I’m afraid of the darkness (오늘밤은 어둠이 무서워요)
Tonight, I’m afraid to be alone
I can hear the wind blow real hard over the window
No one would try not take care of me
So do me a favor, don’t leave me until I fall asleep
Please get the squirmming bug over there
and make sure you got it in the tissue
and throw it away over the window
Today I’m not a strong person
I just want to be in your arms
and listening to your lullaby tonight
Tonight, I’m afraid to sleep alone
I’m sure there’s something in that room where I’m gonna be sleeping
Wait, I’m not that kind of person actually
But do me a favor, don’t go home until I fall asleep
Just in case, lock the front door for me
After you came in, make sure you turn the light off
and leave the door(of my room) open a little
Today I’m not a strong person
I just want to be in your arms tonight
If you have doubt about me, as if I’m trying to do something else to you
you are also welcome to tie me into the chair
Look out of the window, it’s raining,
I don’t think I can make it home now
Buses are gone, I’m sure Taxies are not gonna come this far
Tonight, I’m afraid to be alone
Do me a favor, pat on my head until I fall asleep
Trust me, I’m not that kind of person you know
I just want to be in your arms, listening to your lullaby
Please please, don’t leave me tonight
