Artist yawn sings of fundamental human flaws and the fears that arise from them. With the release of the music video for the new single "SAD," the artist vividly showcases their unique musical identity.

Questions and Reflections on Imperfect Beings

This track confronts the "flaws" inherent in all human beings. Through the message, "We are all human, so isn't it natural to have flaws?" yawn speaks to the universality of the human condition. Under the premise that no one is perfect, the fundamental question of "What is it that I fear so much?" forms the core emotional thread that runs through the song.

This philosophical contemplation resonates deeply, intertwining with the song's title, "SAD." Although human flaws are natural, the song portrays the resulting fear and anxiety as an inescapable fate, forcing listeners to confront the inherent vulnerability of being human.

Visual Implementation of the Music Video: Where Dance and Sorrow Intersect

The released music video focuses on visually manifesting these inner voices. The sorrow implied by the title is materialized through the atmosphere that permeates the entire video. In particular, much like the phrase "SAD," there is a stark contrast between the act of dynamic dancing and the underlying sentiment of sadness.

The video deepens the song's message by capturing the human anxiety and vulnerability hidden behind moments of splendor or movement. Through the gap between outward movement and the tears welling up within, the video uses visual aesthetics to capture the contradictory emotions felt by flawed human beings.

Sophisticated Sound Texture Completed as a Self-Composed Track by yawn

The musical quality is also highly dense due to the artist's direct involvement. yawn took charge of both lyrics and composition to build the song's narrative and worked with min on the arrangement to establish the sound's direction.

Technical perfection during the production process was also meticulously managed. Recording took place at Paracosm Sound, followed by mixing and mastering at Deungdae Sound to refine the song's texture. For the visual elements, heemuroo handled the photography to support the song's mood.

This work stands out for its attempt to embrace human imperfection beyond mere sadness. The confessional lyrics, set to self-composed melodies, compel listeners to face the reality of their own fears. The premise that flaws are natural paradoxically provides a sense of comfort, presenting a musical journey that affirms human imperfection.
