Genuine Love

On the surface, "soju" might be best described to have an upbeat pop-centric sound, but the song itself is about dealing with death and reflecting on the notion that life sometimes feels like random moments in time that are out of your control. For most people, they wouldn’t know that I wrote “soju” from the perspective of his late grandfather and that 2021 was the year of loss for him.

The first verse and chorus of “soju” was written about the aftermath of loss and grief. We tend to feel completely helpless and achingly wish for one more moment with our loved ones, as we are overwhelmed by the struggle to go on through life feeling like the meaning is lost. Most of the lyrics in the first verse and chorus are reflections on how hopeless life feels when you lose someone, and how much the sky feels like it is falling in the wake of their death. Simply put, life becomes monochromatic.

The second half of the second verse is all about that idea to not lose love when you have lost a loved one, and rather to use the pain you experienced that has undoubtedly changed you - to love even deeper. Pain is more relatable to people than success; than happiness; than anything else we often experience. Our lives more often than not are our symbols of pain that we have synthesized through our coping methods into how we then choose to perceive the world. At its worst, we let it consume us and we create insecurities that eat us alive. At its best, our pain becomes lessons of growth and empathy that we can use to understand why it is so goddamn hard for all of us to be alive and human.

The takeaway message of the song? Make sure you find someone that you can give your all to, and then love them in your every waking moment - until their final breath. That's what the bridge of “soju” is all about. How often can we regret the time we no longer have with someone who is gone? Savor every moment you get with someone who loves you, exist with them, and be with them. And though I hope that none of you will ever have to go on living without someone you love, knowing you were truly with them - and they were with you - is enough.

-Mike Raj

Lyrics

Verse 1
Staring out the window
Reaching for a North Star
Waiting Just to wake up
From this nightmare
Where you could be right back in my arms

Dancing to the limbo
Stuck here in the middle
You Tell me that it’s simple 
But I Could Paint a thousand 
Different pictures of what is wrong

Chorus
But If we turn the clocks Back 
A Couple Dials
We should throw them out 
Because time ain’t ours 
Oh but you fill me up 
And I can feel it now

Verse 2
She said “life is just a symbol, 
For the pain that you can get through
Like A camel through the needle,
Everyday people are just a thousand
Versions of who they were

So love me like we’re equal
Cause if there is no sequel
I rather live in peaceful 
Understanding that we believed
Our every single words

Chorus
And if we turn the clocks Back 
A Couple Dials
We should throw them out 
Because time ain’t ours 

And if we burned these blocks down
A couple miles
We could build them Up
Until the sky was ours

Bridge
Cause I’ve lived, I lived
One hundred years of solitude, with you
And never questioned what gives, what gives
Anyone the right to, right to
Believe these superstitions 
Outside of human intuition?
‘Cause Tonight, its enough for me to know 
That you and I exist inside this paradise

Chorus
And if we turn the clocks Back 
A Couple Dials
We should throw them out 
Because time ain’t ours 

And if we burned these blocks down
A Couple miles
We could build them Up
Until the sky was ours

Lyrics:

There's a rumour that you got
A new girl and I don't come close
She lives round the corner
From your place and she drives her dad's Mercedes

Oh look at her, isn't she cool?
Some would say a match for you
Oh what a gift to be in her shoes
Dontcha know that

I really like you
And if you liked me too
I could be your girlfriend
You could be my dude

You put her name on MSN
With a red love heart emoticon
But the 8 Ball, predicts you'll
Be broken up by 9pm on Thursday

I hope you don't think I'm being cruel
Only I'm a better match for you
Oh what I'd give to be in her shoes
Dontcha know that

I really like you
And if you liked me too
I could be your girlfriend
You could be my dude

Dude
You could be my dude
Dude

I really like you
And if you liked me too
I could be your girlfriend

I really like you
And if you liked me too
I could be your girlfriend
You could be my dude

My Dude
