Comprising of four same-aged friends, ESEGYE is a 4-member indie band that emanates a genuine and intimate synergy in their music. Their band name is derived directly from their Korean band name ‘이세계’, which translates to ‘another world’. Just like their name suggests, they aspire to create a musical sanctuary that can allow listeners to momentarily escape the hardships of life by immersing themselves in the emotions of their music.
Although their last release dates back to 2021, their songs possess a nostalgic charm and timeless quality that will continue to touch the hearts of listeners. The members are currently pursuing their own solo endeavours but there remains hope among fans that they will reunite to put out more music in the future.
Depart into another world with these 3 enchanting tracks from ESEGYE.
1. RomanceYouthLove
Characterised by mesmerising vocal harmonies and a dreamlike melody, this song fully encapsulates the aspirations and stories of young people. The emotional depth and enchanting allure of this track will definitely capture the hearts of listeners and evoke sentimentality. With electrifying guitar riffs coming in during the climax of the song, it is one that fully captures the turbulent yet blissful days of youth.
We’re going to leave on a boat called romance
We’re going to leave on a boat called youth
We’re going to leave on a boat called love
We don’t know anything but we’ll be okay
2. Cry For Me
The lyrics express the despondency one feels as they struggle against obstacles in their youth. With such forlorn lyrics, every chord progression and every note is meticulously crafted to create a rich band sound that seeks to fill up the empty spaces in listeners’ heart and forge a strong emotional connection with them.
We all lie, we give up
Stay by my side today
3. Vase
The band skillfully captures the essence of loneliness and restlessness by comparing these emotions to an inanimate object: a vase of withered flowers. With their evocative melodies and heartfelt lyrics, they express the delicate human experience of feeling disconnected, much like the fading beauty of flowers left untended. The vocals are delivered with sincerity and vulnerability and you can definitely find solace in this song.
Withered flowers
Lying in a vase
