This is an introspective alternative rock track that depicts the regret of "not taking that one step forward," using the metaphor of freezing up at the moment of a bungee jump.

A rock ballad with atmospheric, ethereal guitar sounds drifting over a steady 81 BPM rhythm. I aimed to capture the coexistence of claustrophobia and liberation, inspired by artists like Sigur Ros and bloodthirsty butchers.

Lyrically, I explored the conflict between the "coolness of being cynical" and the "beauty of being honest." Towards the end of the song, I deliberately shifted the tense of regret from past to present to reflect its ongoing nature.

This is a song where I processed a past romance and set those emotions to an alternative sound.

Artist Profile

  • Nananaman

    Nananaman is an artist who weaves between music and words to create works that linger quietly in everyday life. His songs capture small moments of unease and subtle shifts of feeling - the thoughts that spiral when we overthink, or the details that shouldn't matter but still stick in the mind. Rather than amplifying these fragments into something grand, he embraces their "smallness" as they are. The result is music that leaves a quiet afterglow, blending naturally into daily life. Drawing inspiration from rock, progressive music, funk, and hip-hop, Nananaman develops his sound around his voice and lyrics. He also writes essays and short poems, and the sensibility of his writing naturally flows into his musical expression. His voice is gentle to the ear yet carries a lasting presence. Listeners who experienced his EP described it as "a sense of the everyday and the contemporary," "a coexistence of looseness and inner strength," and "a curious balance that never overwhelms." These impressions highlight the unique charm of his work - both approachable and refreshingly new. His music is available on streaming platforms, and lyric videos are shared on YouTube, where he continues to shape his world through not only sound and words but also visual expression.
