Low End
3:09“You feel him before you hear him.”
Story
Eight years of cello in Chuncheon. One winter at sixteen, he watched a bassist on a screen shake the floor and put down the bow. He took the bus to Seoul to buy a single bass string at a music shop in Jongno, and a kid in a cap (BLAKE) told him, “Bring everything.” He never went home after that.
춘천에서 8년 동안 첼로를 했다. 열여섯 살 겨울, 화면 속 베이시스트가 바닥을 울리는 걸 보고 활을 내려놓았다. 서울행 버스를 타고 종로 악기점에 베이스 줄 하나 사러 갔다가, 모자 쓴 아이(BLAKE)가 말했다. 「Bring everything.」 그날 이후 집에 돌아가지 않았다.
In the details
The song opens with the bass alone on the main riff, has a bass break in the middle, and in the breakdown the bass and kick hit first — boom. And of tracks 01–05, only here, late in the song, does a synth brush past for a moment, faintly.
곡이 베이스 혼자 메인 리프로 시작하고, 중간에 베이스 브레이크, 브레이크다운은 베이스와 킥이 먼저 「쿵」. 그리고 01~05 중 이 곡 후반에만 신스가 아주 잠깐, 희미하게 스친다.
Lyrics
Chuncheon, eight years with a bow in my handStrings that could cry but could never standThen a bass on a screen hit the floor like a fistAnd I knew what my hands had missed
Put down the bowPick up the low
Low end, feel it in your chestLow end, I don't need the restThe floor shakes first, then you hear meLOW END
A shop in Jongno, I came for a stringA kid in a cap said, "Bring everything"A basement in Hapjeong, a door marked sixI never went home after that night
Put down the bowPick up the low
Low end, feel it in your chestLow end, I don't need the restThe floor shakes first, then you hear meLOW END
내려놔! (Drop it!)
Low end, feel it in your chestLow end, I don't need the restThe floor shakes first, then you hear meLOW END
LOW END!
