Another boy in need of coffee

Tonight has been very lazy. In other words I haven't gotten a single thing done. Now being productive is a student's duty, and I have successfully foregone that duty in order to play two games of Call of Duty. If only my duty could be that duty.

So once again, late nighter it is, and every one of those comes with caffeine and occasionally, taurine. I'm not feeling like pumping myself full of energy drinks, so coffee was the choice.

Speaking of coffee, here's the next K-indie artist, Coffeeboy. 

As a solo artist who turned up in the indie scene fairly recently, Coffeeboy really knows how to bring peace of mind to a listener. Delivering mood and melody just right for sitting back lazily in a chair and listening to, he truly is one of those rare artists with honest-to-heart sound that tells a good story through his music.

This first one is called, Will I be able to get married? 

If you understand the lyrics, you'll know this song is one to forthrightly relate to, or at least when we near thirty. For those who do not understand Korean, it tells of a man and a woman, both wanting to get married, both looking around and contemplating their "desperate" circumstances, such as that all their friends are now getting married, and wondering if they'll be able to find love again.

Personally, I really love songs like this one. Primarily because it's easier to cover, but also because it's difficult to find songs with only a guitar and voice that actually touches that right place in my psyche of music and make me utter unconsciously, that's it. 

This other one contains a more richer, and ethereal sound to it. It's, You in me. Once again, translation might not be exact.

This next one, which I particularly sympathize with, is called A Pimple. 

Now I'm sure there's a deeper metaphor to this song, but no. I'm going to take this on a literal level, because I exactly know how it feels to battle acne and pimples. My lord in heaven, don't get me started on acne or else you'll never hear the end of it. That is why this song, jerks tears out of my eyes. I hate pimples!

Anyways, regardless of whether you are worried about getting married, or frustrated with pimples, Coffeeboy is one to keep an eye on, because if one can make such a beautiful song about a pimple, then that's it. Jokes aside however, what I've said about the pimple song exactly points out Coffeeboy's unique quality: his ability to take common topics and move people with his own lyrics and easy-going yet calmly passionate melodies.

This last one is called Scars become Stars. Hope you enjoy it.
