Available Lyrics
< 자각몽 Lucid / Dreams >
Can't be too far
Oh, heaven
Hell, am I there at all?
On the count of ten I leave the ground
But gravity keeps pulling me down
Won't you let me go?
My mind is floating in the stars
I got nothing but a beating heart
Please just let me go
Now here we go
What a beautiful life
How I can see the starlight shining through the sky
What a beautiful life
(High up up and up now)
(High up up and up now)
How I can see the moonlight shining through the night
(High up up and up now)
(High up up and up now)
Ohhhh
Forever
I’m reaching for your call
In heaven
Maybe, we’ll make it after all
And the universe expands for now,
Ever present and pushing this town
Have you got it now?
Do we get it now
My heart is racing for the time
When points of view shift every line
So there’s peace in sight
I see your lights
What a beautiful life
How I can see the starlight shining through the sky
What a beautiful life
How I can see the moonlight shining through the night!
Ohhhh
What a beautiful life
(High up up and up now)
(High up up and up now)
How I can see the starlight shining through the sky
(High up up and up now)
(High up up and up now)
What a beautiful life
(High up up and up now)
(High up up and up now)
How I can see the moonlight shining through the night
(High up up and up now)
Ohhhh
As I feel what I’m feeling
I feel you feel it too
I feel what I’m doing
I feel you through and through
Album Reviews
Composed of Korean-American vocalist Annie Ko and guitarist/producer Toby Hwang, the Seoul-based electro-rock duo Love X Stereo mix synthpop with alt rock and punk rock to create dreamy, immersive songs marked by ambient synths and Ko’s ethereal whispers. Among their many accomplishments, the dynamic pair has played SXSW twice, clinched a best electronic dance album nomination at the 2017 Korean Music Awards and contributed to soundtracks for the K-dramas Love Alarm, Summer Strike and Cheese in the Trap. This past weekend Love X Stereo dropped “Lucid / Dreams,” the lead single from their upcoming EP 안녕 ÄNɎƏŊ (안녕 is a Korean word for both “hello” and “goodbye”), a collaboration with the LA-based avant-pop artist DA1SY DØØM that’s scheduled to be released this June.
I’m so excited about this EP dropping. Just from < 자각몽 Lucid / Dreams > you get this ethereal, floaty vibe from the track. I love it. Check out the music video for it below! Look forward to an album review of it in my June fave’s article. I don’t want to spoil anything, but just know it slaps.
