Kindie: Miracles In December

‘Miracles in December’ is a Christmas song by the band Exo. Unlike the usual cheerful Christmas songs, this is a ballad about regretting the past and growing from it. The three vocalists from Exo work really well together, creating beautiful harmonies. The song is also very captivating, as it builds throughout its duration and gets better as it goes on.

Kindie: In The Autumn

The Song:

Through “In the Autumn”, SoulstaR reminisces about love. Introducing the music with faint sounds of crickets chirping, the vocal trio expresses missing a lover’s presence. “During autumn, during this autumn, can’t you come back to me? I want to see you and can’t forget you. Where are you?” 

Kindie: Ocean Of Light

The Song:

The song that I’m covering this time is “Ocean of Light” by Nell(넬), an indie rock band. Heavily influenced by numerous British bands, Nell is known for their gloomy and psychedelic sound. But this song is not so gloomy –– as it talks about change, breaking through walls and letting your dreams run free in the ocean of light. I chose to cover this song because although the lyrics and music are simple, they are heartfelt and uplifting. Since summer days are over and winter is approaching, I hope to share this positive vibe with you to brighten your day! 🙂 

Kindie: 1st Cover!!!

The Song:

For my first cover, I was lucky to find an instrumental for ‘니가 싫어’(I Hate You) by Urban Zakapa, one of my favorite bands! Urban Zakapa(어반자카파) is a singer-songwriter trio formed in 2009. They have powerful vocals and soulful melodies that lure people into their music. ‘I Hate You’ is a ballad, involving a woman’s scarred heart and the ending of an unforgettable relationship. If you want to know more about them, check out their website.

(안녕하세요!) Hello, my name is Jane and I’m currently a senior at Lowell High School. In Kindie, I will be covering amazing Korean indie songs (in Korean!) that are buried under the mainstream K-pop songs. Like many others, I’m a K-pop fan and have my favorite bands, but I’m especially attracted to songs that have beautiful harmonies and interesting guitar instrumentals. Gradually, they have led me to the world of Korean indie where I immediately fell in love with the whole genre.
