autumn ride


Due to distribution conflicts, this song is set to re-release in September 2024


original single

In 2020, I wrote, recorded, and released my first single ‘Autumn ride’ on Spotify, Apple Music, and other major platforms. Despite it being my first track and bilingual (Korean and English), I’m grateful that it still amassed over 32,000 streams and counting.

There’s a phrase in Korean, 가을탄다, which means you’re catching Fall vibes. As the season changes, so does your mood, as the Fall evokes nostalgia, longing, and loneliness. I thought about how one of my favorite feelings is being in the passenger seat of a car, floating in time as you watch things pass by. So I combined these two moods and tried to Google translate the phrase, where Google gave me this broken translation: Autumn ride.


 
 

Original

Little scared

아마 그냥 추운 날씨

시간이 흐를수록

Brings you close to me

너무 서두르면 안돼

우리 같이 가면 안돼

Your words so sweet as we lie in the sheets

길을 잃어버리게

네 미로로 같은 말속에

It's all good, it's okay

I'll find my way anyways, so I'mma stay

흩날린 다홍빛

In between you and me 어깨 사이로

Passenger seat 넌 내 옆자리

Let the time go and let’s take it slow

모르지 정해지지 않은 목적지

다 상관없어 너만 있으면

I don’t care where we goin’

Just as long as you right there

Destination anywhere

Just keep driving on, yeah baby

다른 생각 포기하고

옆에 만 있어줘

난 너의 shining star

근데넌 나의 galaxy

Never know what I wanna say to you

But I hope you feeling it too, mm mm

분위기에 취해 이끌려 달려가

지도에 없는 곳으로 oh oh oh oh

I know oh oh

Sounds dumb, but let’s go mm

흩날린 다홍빛

In between you and me 어깨 사이로

Passenger seat 넌 내 옆자리

Let the time go and let’s take it slow

모르지 정해지지 않은 목적지

다 상관없어 너만 있으면

I don’t care where we goin’

Just as long as you right there

Destination anywhere

Just keep driving on, yeah baby

다른 생각 포기하고

옆에 만 있어줘

난 너의 shining star

근데넌 나의 galaxy

English Translation

Little scared

Maybe it’s just the cold weather

As the time flows

It brings you close to me

We can’t rush this too much

But can’t we go together?

Your words so sweet as we lie in the sheets

You make me lose my way

Inside your words like a maze

It’s all good, it’s okay

I’ll find my way anyways, so I’mma stay

Scattered scarlet light

In between you and me in the space between our shoulders

Passenger seat, with you right next to me

Let the time go and let’s take it slow

We don’t know yet where we’re going

It doesn’t matter though as long as you’re here

I don’t care where we goin’

Just as long as you right there

Destination anywhere

Just keep driving on, yeah baby

Let go of all other thoughts

Just be right here with me

I’m your shining star but

You’re my galaxy

Never know what I wanna say to you

But I hope you feeling it too, mm mm

We’re buzzed off the vibe as it brings us

To a place you can’t find oh oh oh oh

I know oh oh

Sounds dumb, but let’s go mm

Scattered scarlet light

In between you and me in the space between our shoulders

Passenger seat, with you right next to me

Let the time go and let’s take it slow

We don’t know yet where we’re going

It doesn’t matter though as long as you’re here

I don’t care where we goin’

Just as long as you right there

Destination anywhere

Just keep driving on, yeah baby

Let go of all other thoughts

Just be right here with me

I’m your shining star but

You’re my galaxy
