JAY B The 2nd EP ‘Be Yourself‘

Respect yourself and others will respect you.
스스로를 존중한다면 다른 사람도 당신을 존중할 것이다.

- Confucius (공자)

01 go UP
‘남들의 기대를 조금은 벗어나 부담감을 털어버리고 자유롭게 자신의 시간을 살자’는 내용을 담고 싶었습니다. 리스너 분들에게 뻥 뚫리는 듯한 감정과 듣기만 해도 저절로 흥겨워지는 느낌을 주고 싶었어요.

02 Break It Down (Feat. SIK-K)
Sik-K와 함께 이 곡에서 지겨운 일상의 루틴을 벗어나고 새로운 시도를 해보자는 이야기를 가사로 옮겨 보았고, 음악적으로도 새로운 시도를 해 보았습니다.

03 Livin‘
‘남들과 비교하며 불행해지는 것보다는 자신의 인생을 돌보며 자신을 위해 살아가자’라는 내용을 담았습니다. 어느정도 진중함이 담겨있는 이야기를 가볍게 풀어 내보고 싶어서 작업한 곡 입니다.

04 The Way We Are
‘지나간 날들을 곱씹기보다는 서로 응원하며 앞으로의 역경들을 헤쳐나가자’라고 팬들에게 이야기하고 싶어서 쓴 곡이에요. ‘즐겁고 좋은 추억을 더 많이 만들어보면 좋겠다’란 희망도 담았구요.

05 Fountain of Youth
친구들과 우정의 소중함에 대해 이야기를 하나쯤 해보면 좋겠다라는 생각이 들어서 그런 이야기를 담은 곡을 만들어 보았습니다.

06 Holyday
자유시간을 온전히 자신을 위해 가치있게 쓰겠다는 의지를 담아 노래했어요. 그래야 다음에 더 좋은 작업물들을 위해서 움직일 수 있을테니까요. 노래를 들어 주시는 분들에게 공감이 되고 힐링이 되는 그런 노래였음 합니다.
