IU POV

Epoch (English)

(n) a particular period of time in history or a person's life

What do you say when the feelings don't fit into words?

Songs and movies tell us about joy and misery, the planet stops spinning, the clouds played out, and your heart begins to sing. Reality is a bit messier than that. The truth is, we meet new people all the time, but we can never tell exactly what they might mean to us. You never know who you'll forget, or who you'll need forever.

Well, yeah, even my songs tell about that feeling. It's just sometimes... translating an intangible item into a tangible one is a hard thing to do. Even more, it's not how to translate feelings, it's what feeling to translate.

So, wonder.

Go on and wonder.

Congratulations...

I read that passage on and on. There is a long space between advice and greeting. I don't know what to feel; happiness, contempt, relief, gratitude, yet I'm also unsure of many, many things.

Feel the moment, Ji Eun-ah. Oh Hyuk once said to me.

Kwon Ji Yong,

Thank you, for you know how many things I'm indebted towards you, in both the making of this album and in life. You deserve your fair share of good fortune in so many ways.

I hope in this world, we can meet people whose not only complement our scars but also those whose kindness and affection shed a light on our otherwise dark, doubtful, and dull life. For meeting you I am blessed because you are gracefully lightening up my journey towards this moment and making routine not too boring to matter.

Wishing you forgiving me for not adding oppa at the back of your name on the beginning of this email.

Lee Ji Eun.

P.s.: Kindly wait for a package.

P.p.s: It's gonna take some space--quite big.

Journey to Palette was never easy. It's hard to get up from an onslaught reaction for Chat-Shire. I was afraid to pour my perception of life into an album. Being too honest was not fruitful apparently.

"In a way, you are very controlling of your feelings. Like, you know, you know you can't be too happy, too sad. Like, you know it's not okay to absorb the moment," Inna quasi-analyzed me, one year before Palette released.

"Too many of anything is never okay."

"But, if I have to say it to your face, it doesn't work that way. I had seen a happier, sadder version of you."
