미드나잇 램프 (Midnight Lamp) – 너 없이도 괜찮아 (Fine Without You)

A song by the duo Midnight Lamp that isn’t depressing! (This is actually their only “happy” song.) Koreans always talk about feeling a bit sentimental in the spring (봄탄다), but
I guess they were in a bit more cheerful mood this time (or less miserable).
Midnight LampWhile all their other songs have been about breakups or missing past lovers, Fine without You tells the story of a girl’s rather normal day without that one person who seems to still faintly exist in every corner of her life. Yet she finds herself smiling through out the day and realizes that not much have actually changed except for
the fact that he’s not next to her anymore. Definitely an improvement from all the gloom from their other songs.

The jazzy feel of the instrumentals with Danbi’s pure voice. I can’t get enough of these two. I especially love the guitar and I’m definitely teaching myself how to play this song.

This is only their fourth single and they just came out with their first mini album. (Although it’s pretty depressing again.) I’m really looking forward to this duo… but still, it’d be nice to hear some even happier songs out of them.

미드나잇 램프 – 너 없이도 괜찮아

아침이라고 말하기엔
늦게 시작된 하루에도
조금 더 자고 싶은 건 똑같았어

졸린 눈을 비비고 일어나
이불 속에 들어가있던
전화기를 찾아 꺼내 들었어

답장 못한 친구 연락 댓 글 알림 메세지
평소랑 다를 게 없어
그냥 네가 없을 뿐이야

그래 별로 달라진 건 없어
네가 있었을 때처럼
조금 늦게 시작된 하루
누워 뒹굴 거리다
약속 시간에 맞춰 날씨를 확인하고
어떤 옷이 좋을까 생각했어

너와 자주 오던 이 곳에
밥부터 먹자는 친구 얘기에
괜찮았던 가게를 떠올려

여전히 많은 사람들
너랑 기대하던 음식들 변한 게 없어
그냥 네가 없을 뿐이야

그래 별로 달라진 건 없어
네가 있던 자리엔
누군가와 앉아 밥을 먹고
이런 저런 대화 내용에
웃으며 얘기를 하고
너 없는 곳에서도 꽤나 즐거웠어

너를 쉽게 잊은 건 아닌데
같이 했던 것들 모두
혼자 버틸 수 있을 만큼
말할 수 있게 되고 밥도 챙겨 먹게 돼
너 없는 하루하루
조금씩 나아지고 있었어
Midnight Lamp – Fine without You

Too late to be calling it morning,
like any other day
I just want to sleep in.

Rub my sleepy eyes
and look for my phone
lost in the blankets.

Missed calls and comment notifications.
It’s the same as any other day
except that you’re not here.

Not much has changed.
Just like when we were together
I wake up a bit late
and take too long getting out of bed.
I check the time and the weather,
and decide on what to wear.

At a place we used to come a lot,
I remember the restaurant we found
with my friend next to me.

All these people and
The food we looked forward to, not much has changed
except that you’re not here.

Not much has changed.
Where you used to sit,
now someone else is there.
We talked about life
and laughed over something.
I was pretty happy even without you.

It wasn’t easy getting over you,
but now I can do the things
we did together alone,
and I can take care of myself.
Day by day, I’m getting used to
being without you.
