곡 소개 

“물망초”는 과거를 회상하며 되돌아 보면 그 순간들이 얼마나 짧았는지 표현하고 있지만, 동시에 그 시간이 지났음을 인정하며 미래를 바라보는 희망적인 곡이다. 처음부터 물망초를 제목으로 정해놓고 쓰지는 않았으나, 물망초(勿忘草)는 매년 피는 푸른색 봄꽃이고, ‘아니 물’과 ‘잊을 망’의 한자를 쓰는 만큼 꽃말도 “나를 잊지 말아주세요”라, 청춘（青春）이라는 단어에 담긴 “푸른 봄”이라는 뜻과 곡의 전체적인 메시지와 잘 어울리는 꽃이라 생각해서 곡 이름과 커버 이미지에 담게 되었다. ‘어릴 적 순수하고 작은 것들이 행복을 가져다 주던 시절’과 ‘불꽃놀이처럼 예쁘지만 머지않아 끝날 우리의 시간’이라는 소재들을 따로 생각하다가 이 둘을 이을 생각을 했으며, 한국에서 보낸 내 어린시절과 대학교 일학년 때를 연상하며 개인적인 경험들로 가사를 써내려 갔지만, 중심적인 주제는 사실 추억, 청춘, 그리고 시간이기 때문에 누구에게나 공감이 되는 이야기였으면 좋겠다. 심플한 기타, 바이올린, 그리고 목소리로 채운 이 노래를 통해서 위로와 치유를 건네고 싶다.

Song Description

“Forget-me-not” is a nostalgic but hopeful song composed of simple guitar, violin, and voice that looks back to the past and expresses the fleeting nature of youth but also accepts this passage of time and orients itself towards the future. The forget-me-not is a blue-colored perennial that blooms every spring, and although the song wasn’t originally written with this particular flower in mind, it was included as the title and in the album cover because it fit well with the overall message of the song and the fact that the word for “youth” (청춘) in Korean literally means “blue spring.” Although the lyrics were written based on personal memories of my childhood in Korea and the first semester of university, I hope that the central themes of reminiscence, youth, and time are relatable to a broad audience and that it can comfort and heal those who listen. 

가사

우리의 푸르른 숲 속 안에
길가의 돌멩이, 나뭇가지도
주황 낙엽, 오백원 하나도
커다란 기쁨이었었던 날들

노란 놀이터를 내내 뛰놀아도
오분만 더, 외치던 우리들
종이비행기로 하늘을 날고
소망을 띄우며 웃던 어릴적

조그맣던 우리들은 서툴게
사랑하고 미워했지
서로 다른 길을 걸을거라
상상조차 못했던 시절 

세상을 눈부시게 물들이다
돌아서면 녹아버리는 눈꽃들처럼
새하얗던 그 계절은 사라졌지만
풍경은 내 안에 간직할게

새로운 시작에 설레이고
바뀌는 우정들에 불안해하며
모든걸 경험하고 싶었던
풋풋한 일학년의 가을겨울

기숙사 컵라면과 기타 소리
우리의 이야기로 가득 찬 방
자신과 서로에 대해 배웠던
위태롭고 반짝이던 밤들

조그맣던 우리들은 서툴게
사랑하고 미워했지
서로 다른 길을 걸을거라
상상조차 못했던 시간 

밤하늘을 수놓으며 밝게 비추다
아쉽게 사라져버리는 불꽃들처럼
새빨갛던 그 계절은 사라졌지만
추억은 내 안에 간직할게

눈부신 빛에는 그림자도 있어
마냥 예쁘지는 않은 매일이지만
머지않아 없어질 오늘 하루가
이 순간이 아름다워지겠지 
찬란한 어제가 될 오늘이 있기에 
내일로 나아가는 우리

해와 비를 맞고 피어나다가
금세 시들해지는 봄꽃들처럼
새파랗던 그 계절은 사라졌지만
열매는 내 안에 간직할게
청춘을 내 안에 간직할게 

Translated Lyrics

In our green forest
The days when even rocks on the street, sticks, 
orange leaves, a 50-cent coin
were all happiness

We would yell, “5 more minutes”
Even after running around the yellow playground all day 
We would fly the skies and lift our hopes with paper planes 
and laugh, when we were young

We were small, innocently 
loving and hating
The times when we never imagined
that we would walk different paths

Like the snowflakes that, after brightening the world, 
melt as you look back
That white season is gone
But I’ll keep that scene in me

With anticipation about a new start
And anxiety about changing friendships
We wanted to experience everything
In fall and winter of our inexperienced first year

The room filled with cup ramen in the dorms, 
the sound of a guitar, and our stories
The precarious, sparkling, long nights 
when we learned about ourselves and each other

We were small, innocently 
loving and hating
The times when we never imagined
that we would walk different paths

Like fireworks that, after embroidering the night sky and illuminating it brightly, 
disappear too quickly 
That red season is gone
But I’ll keep the memories in me

It’s an everyday that’s not all pretty
Because shadows follow bright lights
But this today that will be gone soon, 
this moment will become beautiful
Because we have today that will become a brilliant yesterday
We go onto tomorrow

Like the spring flowers that, after blooming with sun and rain, 
start wilting quickly
That green season is gone
But I’ll keep the fruit in me
I’ll keep the youth in me
