#Aprilbbs 2022
For our fourth round of visual exchange, Abby and I chose five songs that marked the past year, creating visual responses to our feelings and thoughts on the melodies and lyrics, using an object/creature as the basis. This was originally an Instagram series, which you can view here.
Listen to the playlist of 10 songs: Spotify | Apple Music

Cassandra Jenkins
“Michelangelo”
I’m a three-legged dog
workin’ with what I got
And part of me will always be
looking for what I lost
Mika Nakashima
“Boku Ga Shinou To Omottanowa”
I thought about dying because my shoelaces became untied
I guess I think about dying all the time because I take living too seriously
I like the world a little better for bringing someone like you into this world
Car, The Garden
“가까운듯 먼 그대여 Closely Far Away”
그대는 밤하늘에 놓인 작은 별 같아요
매일 밤마다 나를 찾아와 나의 맘을 흔들어 놓네
you’re like the small star laid in the night sky
you visit me every night and stir my heart
郭顶 Guo Ding
“水星记 Mercury Records”
How far ‘til I arrive in your heart
How long ‘til you’re near
The one who draws near then pulls away again,
forever out of reach
Is still waiting to meet you
이승윤 Lee Seung-yoon
“코미디여 오소서 O Come, O Come, Comedy”
달콤하지 슬픈 표정을 짓는 건 / 우린 아마 아프기로 약속했어 / 화창한 날 그늘만을 찾아 걸어갔고 / 그림자를 모아 전시회를 열었지 / 고독을 다 짜내서
how sweet, putting up a sad face / we probably promised to be in pain / we looked for shades on sunny days / and held an exhibition by gathering shadows / squeezing out all our solitude
老王樂隊 Your Woman Sleeps with Others
“安九 Enjoy”
In those times when joy and sorrow were written on our faces
There’s no need for us to conceal our emotions
신온유 Shin Onyu
“행복으로 키운 오렌지 Hangkio
(An Orange Raised with Happiness)”
오렌지야 난 너를 이해해
입가에 잔잔하게 울음을 짓고
밤하늘 곁에 소복이 쌓일 때
잔잔히 퍼져가 깊은 너의 그 숨소리
그러니 늘 행복한 기운을 가져요
hey orange, i understand you
your mouth shows a soft cry
when you pile up next to the night sky
the sound of your deep breath spreads gently
so i hope you always remain happy
Yaeji & OHHYUK
“Year To Year”
Yesterday’s behind us
Let’s takе with us today
Do you remember who wе used to be?
Time flies faster
As we grow older
자우림 Jaurim
“HOLA!”
어디로 향해 볼까
네 마음이 흘러가는 곳이면 어디든 데려가 줄게
자유로운 너를 믿어
단단한 마음 이미 네 안에 있잖아
where should we go?
i’ll take you wherever you heart desires
i believe in your freedom
you already have a firm heart
Aimer
“カタオモイ Kataomoi”
I don’t need roaring applause, or echoing cheers
Just you… Understand me, understand me
Darlin’, my dreams came true
Can’t find the right words to describe it.
Just this once, just for me
I’m savouring how happy I am to have been born
