Production Note
The main intent is to create a musical sanctuary for listeners, reminding them that 'home' is not just a physical space but a portable feeling of comfort we carry within ourselves. The instrumentation, centered around a gentle acoustic guitar and soft vocals, was intentionally kept minimal to create an intimate, almost secretive, conversational tone with the listener.
'집'이란 단순히 물리적인 공간이 아니라, 우리가 내면에 지니고 다니는 안식처라는 느낌을 상기시켜주는 음악적 안식처를 만드는 것이 주된 제작 의도입니다. 부드러운 어쿠스틱 기타와 목소리를 중심으로 한 악기 구성은, 듣는 이와 비밀스러운 대화를 나누는 듯한 친밀한 분위기를 만들고자 의도적으로 미니멀하게 유지했습니다.

Verse 1
지친 하루 끝에 텅 빈 방
창틈으로 스민 찬 바람
익숙한 듯 낯선 이 공간에
몸을 뉘어 잠을 청해봐
그때 어디선가 불어온
아주 오래된 그 향기가
닫혀있던 내 기억의 문을
소리 없이 열어
It's the scent of home, a faded photograph
낡은 책장 속에 숨 쉬던 햇살 같아
눈 감으면 선명해지는 그 풍경 속으로
날 데려가 (fading away)
가장 편안했던 그날로 (take me away)
Verse 2
장마가 오려던 오후였나
눅눅한 흙 내음과 빗소리
라디오에선 낡은 노래가
흘러나왔었지 희미하게
코끝을 스치는 그 향이
흐릿했던 시간들을 지나
얼어붙은 내 마음의 한 켠을
따스하게 녹여
It's the scent of home, a faded photograph
낡은 책장 속에 숨 쉬던 햇살 같아
눈 감으면 선명해지는 그 풍경 속으로
날 데려가 (fading away)
가장 편안했던 그날로 (take me away)
Verse 3
이제는 돌아갈 수 없어도
손에 잡히지 않아도 괜찮아
이 향기 속에 살아 숨 쉬니까
내 안에 영원히
It's the scent of home, my only photograph
모든 게 변해가도 변하지 않을 그곳
눈 감으면 언제나 돌아갈 수 있는 곳으로
날 안아줘 (hold me again)
가장 찬란했던 그날로 (take me again)
Hmm, the scent of my home.
=====================
English
Verse 1
At the end of a long day, in this empty room
A cold wind seeps through the window's seam
In this space, so familiar yet strange
I lay myself down and try to sleep
Then from somewhere, a scent from long ago
Quietly opens the door
To memories I had closed
It's the scent of home, a faded photograph
Like the sunshine that breathed in an old bookshelf
Into the scene that sharpens when I close my eyes
Take me there (fading away)
To that most peaceful day (take me away)
Verse 2
Was it an afternoon, just before the summer rain?
The smell of damp earth and the sound of the drops
From the radio, an old song
Was faintly playing
That scent that brushes past my nose
Travels through the faded years
And warmly melts a frozen corner of my heart
It's the scent of home, a faded photograph
Like the sunshine that breathed in an old bookshelf
Into the scene that sharpens when I close my eyes
Take me there (fading away)
To that most peaceful day (take me away)
Verse 3
Even if I can't go back now
Even if I can't hold it in my hands, it's okay
Because it lives and breathes within this scent
Forever inside of me
It's the scent of home, my only photograph
The one place that won't change as everything else does
To the place I can always return to when I close my eyes
Embrace me (hold me again)
To that most radiant day (take me again)
Hmm, the scent of my home.
