새봄 (Saevom) – 취기를 빌려 (Slightly Tipsy) (With Lee Min-hyuk)

So this Nosey friend I keep mentioning in my posts has been regularly recommending me songs for the past 6 months, but to no avail. Most of the songs she recommended were pretty boring, much like herself (sorry not sorry). This time, however, she sent me a song that finally lived up to my standards. So here I am today, at last, with one of Nosey’s picks: 취기를 빌려 (Getting Tipsy) by 새봄 (Saevom). I’ve never heard of Saevom before, and I’m surprised I haven’t as she’s got that Acourve/Midnight Lamp vibe going on which (as you all know) I love. From the looks of her songs, she seems to be more of a producer/composer, featuring other singers for most of her songs, and the song I have today is sung by Lee Min-hyuk.
새봄I don’t understand why “drunk confession” is a thing in Korea. The country as a whole puts such an emphasis on relationships, and guys seem to fret an unhealthy amount over the possibility of getting rejected. I suppose it has to do with the ever so puzzling effeminacy of male beauty in Korea.

Speaking of PUZZLing (flawless transition Michael), my girlfriend and I did a puzzle last weekend! Even though she proved to be quite a distraction, we were able to finish the 500 piece puzzle in about 2 hours.

Much like walking, doing jigsaw puzzles has that soothing effect. For every piece you fit in, a piece of your mind falls out to be filled with peace, and having made some life-altering plans recently, I can definitely use some more of that… which is why I got another one!

This one’s a 1000 piece one, and you can tell that I chose it cause it’s pretty darn normal. I’ll keep you guys updated on the progress . Until then, bye!

새봄 – 취기를 빌려

언제부턴가 불쑥
내 습관이 돼버린 너
혹시나 이런 맘이
어쩌면 부담일까
널 주저했어

언제부턴가 점점
내 하루에 스며든 너
아침을 깨우는 네 생각에
어느샌가 거리엔
어둠이 젖어들고

취기를 빌려
오늘 너에게 고백할 거야
하루하루 네가 좋다고
괜히 어색할까
혼자 애만 태우다
끝끝내 망설여왔던 순간

알잖아 나 무뚝뚝하고
말도 없는 걸
서툰 표현이 쑥스러워서 괜히
쓰다 지울 문자만 바라보다
멋쩍은 쓴웃음만

언제부턴가 가끔
너와 마주칠 때마다
한참을 머뭇거린
어설픈 손인사만
오늘 밤도 후회로 잦아들고

취기를 빌려
오늘 너에게 고백할 거야
하루하루 보고 싶다고
괜히 어색할까
혼자 애만 태우다
수없이 연습해왔던 그 말

알잖아 나 무뚝뚝하고
말도 없는 걸
서툰 표현이 쑥스러워서 괜히
쓰다 지울 문자만 바라보다
멋쩍은 쓴웃음만

첫눈을 빌려
오늘은 꼭 고백할 거야
작은 너를 품에 안고서
눈을 마주하고
너무 사랑한다고
함께 하고 싶다고
Saevom – Slightly Tipsy

I don’t know since when
You’ve become a habit to me
Worried I’d only be a burden if
I told you how I felt
I’ve been holding back

I don’t know since when
You’ve slowly seeped into my every day
Lost in the thought of you waking me up
The sun has already set as I
Walk through the lonesome streets

I’m getting slightly tipsy and
I’m going to confess to you today
That I love you each and every day
Careful not to make things awkward
I’ve been dreading all on my own
Words I’ve hesitated so long to say

You know how blunt I am
And how little I say
With my awkward choices of words
Putting on a bitter smile as I
Erase the clumsy texts I typed

I don’t know since when
Every time our eyes met
I lingered for a second too long
Quickly turning away with a short hi
Just to regret all night long

I’m getting slightly tipsy and
I’m going to confess to you today
That I miss you each and every day
Careful not to make things awkward
I’ve been dreading all on my own
Words I’ve practiced over and over to say

You know how blunt I am
And how little I say
With my awkward choices of words
Putting on a bitter smile as I
Erase the clumsy texts I typed

The first snow is falling
I’m going to confess to you today
Holding you in my arms
Looking into your eyes
That I love you so much
That I wish to be together

Thanks for Saevom. You’re onto Stella Jang I imagine.. My Point: Kang Min Hyuk, Min Ho, Yoo Ah In, Song Joong ki. Kim Hyun Joong, Jo in Sung, not to mention Sung Hoon. They are drop-dead men, Feminine? If that’s what rocks the Gongster’s (Olive)boat or lights up Hye Kyo and Jieun? Then I want some of that. I’d give a case of La Tache for abs like those guys. No Michelin-man bulging muscles. No gross red beards and tattoos. No oversized pick-ups (thank God) My observation is that Korean and Japanese women have a strong preference for men with… Read more »
