About Album
[37C] – the end of a long journey, practicing how to go back to the beginning.
Thirty-seven songs are finally completed. Two years after the regular subscription project [37], which releases 37 songs that are not related to each other, the entire journey is finally completed with the release of its last album [37C] on November 22.
Compared to [37A], which tried various genres, [37B], which expressed joy and sorrow without mercy, and [37X], which reinterpreted existing ideas, there are bright songs in the last album [37C], but overall, it is somewhat lyrical and touching. The reason is probably that the feelings that the band had in heart were revealed as they recalled the regrets, pain, hatred, longing, and reasons why they started this reckless project in the first place.
Songs such as “Free Fall” and “Head On the Ground” are good examples. The beat of the song “Free Fall,” which contains the feeling of wanting to overcome the wounds of the heart directly or indirectly received by others, is as strong as a heartbeat. “Head On the Ground” contains a spiritual message that asks itself questions and seeks enlightenment about our lives, as if they were enigmatic, to understand the daily reality. In addition, “Christmas Sunset” expressed a longing for the sunset in India, which the band visited on Christmas Day in 2015.
There have been numerous experiments in the course of project [37], and new stories and unexpected sounds have also been discovered. It sure was a difficult time during the whole process, but it is believed that it was a process of practicing to grind oneself to find the true identity of the band, just like how they first started the band in the winter of 2011, without giving up for a single moment.

Free Fall
You don't ever listen
You don't even care for what I do
But everything comes down to you
Free fall to the place where I belong
Free fall for the broken hearted
Free fall to the place where I belong
Free fall for the broken hearted
They don't see for who I am
They don't ever listen
They don't even care for what I do
But everything comes down to you
Free fall to the place where I belong
Free fall for the broken hearted
Free fall to the place where I belong
Free fall for the broken hearted
Imagining You (feat. I Made Subandi)
Coral reef meets gold
We move towards the light
Yes, we move towards the light
Quiet and warm around
Let my heart calm down
We move towards the light
Yes, we move towards the light
Wondering the sky of blue
Wondering the sea of you
Moonlight fills the air
Silver white with flares
We move towards the nightå
Yes, we move towards the night
Love is everywhere
We've got lots to share
We move towards the night
Yes, we move towards the night
Wondering the sky of blue
Wondering the sea of you
Imagining you
Imagining you
Imagining you
Imagining you
Imagining you
Wondering the sky of blue
Wondering the sea of you
Let me be the one for you
Let you be the one for me, too
Imagining you
Imagining you
Imagining you
Imagining you
(나를 데려가줘요)
Head On the Ground
Like a rainy day
Like a rainy day
Spins me around
I'm gonna feel dizzy
I'm gonna feel dizzy
We're alive, we're alive, we're alive, we're alive
We're alive, we're alive, we're alive, we're alive
Head on the ground
Skidding down the highway
Skidding down the highway
We're safe and sound
No matter what they say
No matter what they say
We're alive, we're alive, we're alive, we're alive
We're alive, we're alive, we're alive, we're alive
Do you know?
My time is running out so I'm letting you go
I stopped hiding because no one can ever change me
Now I realize the truth
Life is a riddle
All Over Again
Do you remember how it all began?
I fell in love with somebody I could not understand
For you I'll do it all over again
Tried so hard to fake it but I still cannot pretend
Do you recall what happened in the end?
I fell in love with somebody I could not comprehend
For you I'll do it all over again
Don't ever let me go
(Up high, take me to the other side)
(Down low, take me to the other side)
찰나 Ksana
You couldn't think of anything cause you're nervous and all
You haven't slept well for a while cause you know from your heart
In just a minute, you would not even know who you are
You
Your moments are forgotten everyday
You
But I still want to find you anyway
Your vision's blurry cause you worry too hard
You started shaking like a leaf cause you're so fragile and all
You may not be the perfect person but that's not a fault
You are a star, you just got to believe in who you are
A leap of faith is gonna take you so far
In just a minute, you would not even know who you are
A leap of faith is gonna take you so far
In just a minute, you would not even know who you are
You
Your moments are forgotten everyday
You
But I still want to find you anyway
You
Your moments are forgotten everyday
You
But I still want to find you anyway
눈을 감는다
숨을 고른다
기다려본다
그러다 눈을 뜬다
시간이 흘러
때가 이르면
날아오른다
짧은 순간 그 영원한 찰나
Zero One
It's over
You can't see anything
Love is dead
It's over
You can't feel anything
Love is dead
It's over
You can't hear anything
Love is dead
It's over
You can't feel anything
Although life is breaking us apart
I'm never giving up
Although love is tearing us apart
I'm never giving up
불러줘 내 이름 Call My Name
나 다른 세상에서 눈을 뜨길
다 꺼져가는 촛불처럼
내 마음이 이미 녹아내린
더는 내가 지칠 필요없이
꿈도 꿀 수 없는
내 이룰 수 없는 꿈의
닿을 수 없는 너의 그 목소리
나 듣고 싶어
그대로 와줘 너의 온기
나를 비춰준 네 마음의 빛
아무것도 묻지 말아줘
이 세상 끝날 때까지
내가 널 그리고 나면
불러줘 내 이름
꿈도 꿀 수 없는
내 이룰 수 없는 꿈의
닿을 수 없는 너의
잠들 수 없는 품에
꿈도 꿀 수 없는
내 이룰 수 없는 꿈의
닿을 수 없는 너의 그 감촉을
나 느끼고 싶어
그대로 와줘 너의 온기
나를 비춰준 네 마음의 빛
아무것도 묻지 말아줘
이 세상 끝날 때까지
그대로 와줘 너의 온기
나를 비춰준 네 마음의 빛
아무것도 묻지 말아줘
이 세상 끝날 때까지
내가 널 그리고 나면
불러줘 내 이름
내가 널 그리고 나면
불러줘 내 이름
Slipping Away (Acoustic Version)
It's slipping away
Where is my freedom?
It's slipping away
You're breaking me down
Everything has changed
You're breaking me down
This is not okay
Running day and night for a tiny bite
Just to stay upright and to cry a thunder roar
Don't you dare deny for the sake of life
Cause it's do or die and it's me in the bloody snow
Album Reviews
The reason why so many people make the deal with the devil and choose to work within the idol system is because it’s very slim pickings outside of that system for nearly everybody in Korea, just ask Korean Indie who probably has to deal with these people begging him for food scraps on a weekly basis. So I’m going to be grateful for this video even though I’m colourblind and it gives me a headache, because it’s honestly impressive that some independent Korean artists can afford music videos at all. Once I’ve taken some ibuprofen and paracetamol and given it an hour or so to kick in, I find that it’s not really that bad a visual accompaniment to the fantastic song which has some great instrumentation, a killer second chorus section and is by far the best thing this group have ever done.
The latest instalment in the critically acclaimed album series, “37” by Love X Stereo, “37C” is one of those albums that will make you retire from your music discovery efforts for a while, and just sprawl and bask in the peace of knowing that it’ll be a very long time before any electronic rock release will come even close to it sonically, lyrically, conceptually, production-wise or in any other way. If you are not familiar with the unstoppable South Korean force that is Love X Stereo then this album will overload your speakers and send your music player into a state of pandemonium that will render all its algorithms useless. It blazes a trail of its own even in the band’s already impressive and exceptionally unique repertoire. The minute you hit the play button it’s like you are sucked into your own ear drums and listening to the world from inside your head – it’s hard to explain, but the only way you’ll be able to find comfort after listening to this album, apart from listening to it again over and over is to somehow find a way to turn back the hands of time and get sucked back into your mum’s uterus for another nine months in the womb that never let you down even once.
37C is Love X Stereo’s exploration of their own unique sound, which also happens to sound at times like an exploration of space. The duo takes their hallmark elements into different genres of music, all with great success.
