[TRANS] IU ‘CHAT-SHIRE’ Album Introduction and Song Introductions

ALBUM INTRODUCTION

A bunch of twenty-threes, IU's current state which is full of trivial things. Also, your current state.

IU's 4th mini album ‘CHAT-SHIRE’ is out!

IU's fourth mini album ‘CHAT-SHIRE’, which everyone has been waiting for, has finally been released.

IU, who showed her growth as a musician with her detailed and unique emotions through her previous albums and her self-composed songs, expanded her involvement to take part in the production of this album, making her voice heard throughout the whole album.

This album ‘CHAT-SHIRE’ contains a total of 7 songs and from the perspective of characters from different novels, she expresses the experiences and observations of 23-year-old IU, as well as her thoughts and feelings about people around her. The album name ‘CHAT-SHIRE’ refers to a small society where the character of each song lives in their own area and one can finish walking through the whole place in 23 steps.

[Note: A ‘shire’ is a county or something like a town for different characters. See Chat-shire map teaser image. IU also said she meant for the lyrics to be idle talk (chat) and not be taken too seriously. See news article on album showcase.]

Through ‘CHAT-SHIRE’, which features IU's current state, you will think about yourself in your future, present and past. While the stories are based on IU's own experiences and thoughts, these are things that can happen to all of us and that we may think about too. Hopefully, with your image of yourself in mind, you can share and communicate with us through ‘CHAT-SHIRE’.

SONG INTRODUCTIONS

01. 새 신발 (Shoes)

Lyrics by IU

Composed by Lee Jong-hoon

Arranged by Lee Jong-hoon

“I took off my old shoes and slid my feet into silver shoes. They fit just right as if they are my shoes.”

A track that serves as a guide to facilitate a tour of CHAT-SHIRE. While greeting fans who have been waiting a long time for this album with the most familiar-sounding strings and voice typical of IU, this is the busy start of a new date. This song is a medium-tempo song with a vintage sound of the 'Motown' style of the 70s.

02. Zezé

Lyrics by IU

Composed by Lee Jong-hoon, Lee Chae-gyu

Arranged by Lee Jong-hoon

“The tree speaks with its whole body. It speaks with its leaves, its branches and its roots too. Do you want to hear what it’s saying? Then put your ears to my body. You will be able to hear my heart beating.”

This is a kind of love song that is sung while waiting for someone who is charming, but difficult, puts you at a loss, yet lovely. It is a song that stands out with the hip-hop sound of Lo-Fi beats that have not been experimented with in IU songs thus far..

03. 스물셋 (Twenty-three) (TITLE)

Lyrics by IU

Composed by IU, Lee Jong-hoon, Lee Chae-gyu

Arranged by Lee Jong-hoon, Lee Chae-gyu

“‘Can you tell me which way to go from here?’

‘It depends where you want to go,’ said the cat.”

This song is based on the Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland. ‘Cheshire’, which is also related to the name of the album, is the most important keyword in the album. There are many different ways to look at something, none of which are wrong. Whatever you choose is the answer and it just depends on what you want to believe. This song has a funky beat and disco-like sound, which blend with the light, fun and confusing lyrics, giving the impression of feeling exasperated.

04. 푸르던 (The shower)

Lyrics by IU

Composed by IU

Arranged by Kim Je-hwi

“It was really fun that day... But I have no idea where all this water came from that day.”

The day when my papery heart was soaked with water, my vision narrowed and in one breath, I fell in love with the season I never liked. Is it just good or is it just sad to remember what used to be beautiful? This is an acoustic song that makes you imagine a summer night full of memories of your first love.

05. Red Queen (Feat. Zion.T)

Lyrics by IU

Composed by Lee Jong-hoon, Lee Chae-gyu

Arranged by Lee Jong-hoon, Lee Chae-gyu

“‘She did look as ugly as you. She was redder than you, and with shorter petals,‘ said the rose. ‘She’s the type with lots of thorns.’”

Don’t we all have the experience of a strange feeling when we see the person being attacked by everyone make a smile without worry? This is a song that asks questions about the preconceived notions of everyone who thinks that it is uncomfortable to discover a good side to a villain who deserves to be attacked. The main character of the song, ‘that woman’, can be the first person who comes to your mind as you listen to the song, or it can also be you. Who is the worst between the woman in the story, the speaker and the listener? This is an uptempo track with retro feels that mixes two completely different genres, including the rhythm and sound of bubblegum pop in the ‘60s and chord progression of bossa nova in the middle of the song.

06. 무릎 (Knees)

Lyrics by IU

Composed by IU

Arranged by Lee Jong-hoon

”She patted my head with a touch as light as air.

‘It's always hard to be born. You know that, right? They say a bird must struggle to get out of its shell.’”

This is a song that started out with the idea that doubt keeps a person from falling asleep. ‘Doubt’ can be someone's doubt about me, my doubt about myself, my doubt about the rest of the world, or maybe a doubt about a day that just flew by that makes one feel uncomfortable (Note: because the day flew by without one accomplishing much). Everyone will have a childhood experience of sleeping so deeply in a dreamless slumber, not knowing that they were being moved somewhere in the large hands of an adult. This song is sung in a soft voice with a piano melody accompaniment, on a night that suddenly feels sad because as we grow older and older, we lose sleep even because of a small sound and become more and more wary (Note: of things or people) around us.

07. 안경 (Glasses)

Lyrics by IU

Composed by IU

Arranged by Kim Je-hwi

'“‘Everyone calls you a fool.’ ’Never mind. It's nothing to worry about.’”

This album is made up of question marks. IU's age of 23 is so full of trivial details and confusing that she can't be sure of anything or draw any conclusions. Nevertheless, this song was included as the last track because of the need for a full stop. A conviction not to wear glasses does not necessarily signify innocence. Living day by day with enough freedom and humor to hum a song, while losing sometimes and returning an attack sometimes. For now, that's the image of an adult that 23-year-old IU has the least aversion towards. This is a song with a guitar accompaniment that sounds lethargic, the use of a bandoneon (Note: a kind of concertina musical instrument) and rather bizarre backing vocals that are interesting.

08. 마음 (Heart)

Lyrics by IU

Composed by IU, Kim Je-hwi

Produced by IU, Kim Je-hwi

Something fragile, yet silently shining.

09. Twenty three (Bonus Track)

Lyrics by IU

Composed by PJ, Lee Jong-hoon

Translated by IUteamstarcandy

하루 끝

Monday, better day 처음처럼 설레이는 그런 날 Sunday, better day 종일 너만 생각하는 그런 날 욕심이 나, 우리 사이 요만큼만 더 가까이 딱 한 발짝, 그만큼 더 가까이 혼잣말이, 속삭임이 너도 궁금할 순 있잖아 네가 좋아서 그래, 나 차가운 척 표정 짓고 있지만 내 마음은 그게 아닌데 거짓말인데 바보 같은 네가 난 답답해 너무 좋아서 그래, 나 시무룩한 얼굴하고 있지만 또 기다리다, 고민만 하다 흘러가는 하루 끝에서 하는 말 내가 널 사랑해

금요일에 만나요

우.. 이번 주 금요일 우.. 금요일에 시간 어때요 주말까지 기다리긴 힘들어 시간아 달려라 시계를 더 보채고 싶지만 (Mind control) 일분 일초가 달콤해 이 남자 도대체 뭐야 사랑에 빠지지 않곤 못 배기겠어 온 종일 내 맘은 저기 시계바늘 위에 올라타 한 칸씩 그대에게 더 가까이 Na na na na na Na na na na na na Na na na na na La la la la...

너의 의미

너의 그 한 마디 말도 그 웃음도 나에겐 커다란 의미 너의 그 작은 눈빛도 쓸쓸한 뒷모습도 나에겐 힘겨운 약속

너의 모든 것은 내게로 와 풀리지 않는 수수께끼가 되네

슬픔은 간이역의 코스모스로 피고 스쳐 불어온 넌 향긋한 바람 나 이제 뭉게구름 위에 성을 짓고 널 향해 창을 내리 바람 드는 창을

그 웃음도 나에겐 커다란 의미

너의 그 작은 눈빛도

쓸쓸한 뒷모습도 나에겐 힘겨운 약속

스물셋

I'm twenty three 난 수수께끼 (Question) 뭐게요 맞혀봐요 I'm twenty three 틀리지 말기 Because 난 몹시 예민해요 맞혀봐 한 떨기 스물셋 좀 아가씨 태가 나네 다 큰 척해도 적당히 믿어줘요 얄미운 스물셋 아직 한참 멀었다 얘 덜 자란 척해도 대충 속아줘요 난, 그래 확실히 지금이 좋아요 아냐, 아냐 사실은 때려 치고 싶어요 아 알겠어요 나는 사랑이 하고 싶어 아니 돈이나 많이 벌래 맞혀봐 어느 쪽이게? 얼굴만 보면 몰라 속마음과 다른 표정을 짓는 일 아주 간단하거든 어느 쪽이게? 사실은 나도 몰라 애초에 나는 단 한 줄의 거짓말도 쓴 적이 없거든 여우인 척, 하는 곰인 척, 하는 여우 아니면 아예 다른 거 어느 쪽이게? 뭐든 한 쪽을 골라 색안경 안에 비춰지는 거 뭐 이제 익숙하거든

밤편지

이 밤 그날의 반딧불을 당신의 창 가까이 보낼게요 음 사랑한다는 말이에요 나 우리의 첫 입맞춤을 떠올려 그럼 언제든 눈을 감고 음 가장 먼 곳으로 가요 난 파도가 머물던 모래 위에 적힌 글씨처럼 그대가 멀리 사라져 버릴 것 같아 늘 그리워 그리워 여기 내 마음속에 모든 말을 다 꺼내어 줄 순 없지만 사랑한다는 말이에요

팔레트

이상하게도 요즘엔 그냥 쉬운 게 좋아 하긴 그래도 여전히 코린 음악은 좋더라 Hot pink보다 진한 보라색을 더 좋아해 Mmm 또 뭐더라 단추 있는 Pyjamas, lipstick 좀 짓궂은 장난들 I like it I'm twenty five 날 좋아하는 거 알아 Ooh I got this I'm truly fine 이제 조금 알 것 같아 날

가을 아침

이른 아침 작은 새들 노랫소리 들려오면 언제나 그랬듯 아쉽게 잠을 깬다 창문 하나 햇살 가득 눈부시게 비쳐오고 서늘한 냉기에 재채기할까 말까 딸각딸각 아침 짓는 어머니의 분주함과 엉금엉금 냉수 찾는 그 아들의 게으름이 상큼하고 깨끗한 아침의 향기와 구수하게 밥 뜸드는 냄새가 어우러진 가을 아침 내겐 정말 커다란 기쁨이야 가을 아침 내겐 정말 커다란 행복이야 응석만 부렸던 내겐 파란 하늘 바라보며 커다란 숨을 쉬니 드높은 하늘처럼 내 마음 편해지네 텅 빈 하늘 언제 왔나 고추잠자리 하나가 잠 덜 깬 듯 엉성히 ��기만 비잉비잉

삐삐

편하게 하지 뭐 어 거기 너 내 말 알아 들어? 어? I don't believe it 에이 아직 모를 걸 내 말 틀려? 또 나만 나뻐? 어?

라일락

나리는 꽃가루에 눈이 따끔해 (아야) 눈물이 고여도 꾹 참을래 내 마음 한켠 비밀스런 오르골에 넣어두고서 영원히 되감을 순간이니까 우리 둘의 마지막 페이지를 잘 부탁해 어느 작별이 이보다 완벽할까 Love me only till this spring 오 라일락 꽃이 지는 날 good bye 이런 결말이 어울려 안녕 꽃잎 같은 안녕 하이얀 우리 봄날의 climax 아 얼마나 기쁜 일이야 Ooh ooh Love me only till this spring 봄바람처럼 Ooh ooh Love me only till this spring 봄바람처럼

내 손을 잡아 (앵콜)

사랑이 온거야 너와 나 말이야 네가 좋아 정말 못 견딜 만큼 그거면 된거야 더는 생각하지 말란 말이야 네 맘 가는 그대로

느낌이 오잖아 떨리고 있잖아 언제까지 눈치만 볼 거니 네 맘을 말해봐 딴청 피우지 말란 말이야 네 맘 가는 그대로 지금 내 손을 잡아

지금 내 손을 잡아 지금 내 손을 잡아
