🎼 Salt and Air 

Inspired by Choi Baek-ho's "낭만에 대하여"

[Verse 1]
Late at night beside the bay
Empty docks where ferries stayed
Neon lights in distance haze
Bring back echoes from those days

[Chorus]
She was here, or so it seemed
Now it’s only salt and air and dream
I call her name, but no one’s there
Only waves and midnight stare

[Verse 2]
Coffee shops and old street signs
Footsteps fading into time
All the songs we used to know
Play like ghosts on late-night shows

[Chorus]
She was here, or so it seemed
Now it’s only salt and air and dream
I call her name, but no one’s there
Only waves and midnight stare

[Verse 3]
I walk the shore with hands in coat
Letters lost in lines I wrote
The sea replies with steady breath
Telling me she’s gone like death

[Final Chorus]
She was here, or so it seemed
Now it’s only salt and air and dream
A shadow passed, and left me bare
All I have is salt and air

📝 가사 번역 (Korean Translation)

[1절]
늦은 밤 바닷가에 앉아
떠난 여객선이 머물던 빈 부두
저 멀리 희미하게 비추는 네온 불빛
그 시절의 메아리를 다시 불러와요

[후렴]
그녀는 여기 있었던 것 같아요
이제 남은 건 소금기 어린 바람과 꿈 뿐
그녀의 이름을 불러도 아무도 없어요
그저 파도와 한밤의 응시만이 있을 뿐

[2절]
커피숍과 오래된 거리 표지판
발자국은 시간 속으로 사라지고
우리가 함께 듣던 노래들은
늦은 밤 쇼에서 유령처럼 흘러나와요

[후렴]
그녀는 여기 있었던 것 같아요
이제 남은 건 소금기 어린 바람과 꿈 뿐
그녀의 이름을 불러도 아무도 없어요
그저 파도와 한밤의 응시만이 있을 뿐

[3절]
코트 주머니에 손을 넣은 채 해안을 걷고
쓰다 버린 편지 속 문장들은 흩어지고
바다는 고요한 숨결로 대답해요
그녀는 죽음처럼 떠났다고

[마지막 후렴]
그녀는 여기 있었던 것 같아요
이제 남은 건 소금기 어린 바람과 꿈 뿐
그림자가 스쳐가고 나를 벌거벗은 채 두었어요
남은 건 오직 소금기 어린 바람 뿐

✨ About the Original Song

Inspired by the mood of the Korean classic “낭만에 대하여 (About Romance)”, this new piece captures a similar sense of solitude, longing, and quiet beauty.
Before composing Salt and Air, I first created an original set of English lyrics inspired by this Korean classic, which I shared on my other blog, Sing Korean Songs. Those lyrics provided the emotional starting point that shaped the atmosphere of this track.

🔧 About This Project

This song was composed using Suno AI and produced as part of the MySongLab project.

The process begins with writing new English lyrics—often inspired by Korean classics—and sharing them through Sing Korean Songs. From there, the lyrics are transformed into full musical pieces, bringing together words and melody in harmony.
