Lyric

Lam Phloen Young Widower

Homhuan Saksakul

Intro:

A young divorced man Homhuan invites all his fans to join him in a molam song

I'm looking at a young lady somewhere

Turn around and look at me

Verse:

Ladies!

I want you to listen to me, all dressed up in gold jewelry

I'm in love with you and my tears are constant

I know that one day we'll be together

The betrothal money is far too expensive

It's making me feverish and fuzzy, and a coldness in my heart

The only thing in my heart is to be with you

I'll give you a love letter with overflowing feelings

In order for you and I to make a promise

Bridge:

Like twin stars shining in the sky (Repeat)

Let's play ramwong together

You, don't be absent-minded (Repeat)

Let's play ramwong as a pair

If you have love, look at me (Repeat)

Give me your smile

There's no one for me (Repeat)

Can I ask you to marry me and go to your house?

Come on, let's dance (Repeat)

Come on, beautiful girl, let's dance

Can I leave my love in your hands, beautiful woman?

It's thanks to my merits that I've met you

You're like a full moon that shines beautifully

With your pure heart and my pure heart

I'm coming for you

For the love of our lives, I swear to you with the love and pride of a man

Hook:

I'm a molam, what do you think? (Repeat)

You think I don't want to overlap with your cool boyfriend?

Can I put my love in your hands? (Repeat)

Or would you rather have a teacher husband?

You don't like molam husband? (Repeat)

EM Records again shines the spotlight on legendary Thai producer Surin Phaksiri in this second edition of his classic productions from the 1960s-80s. The first edition, released in 2019, focused on his innovative productions in the luk thung style. This 2022 release features his stellar, glowing molam gems from the 60s-80s, drawn mainly from his golden era in the late 70s and early 80s. Surin Phaksiri is a highly esteemed figure in Thai music, rooted deeply in his native region of Isan in northeast Thailand, a producer with a deep respect for the traditional artistry of his culture, yet always moving forward, looking outward, listening ahead. The molam style of Thai music showcases the voice; indeed, the genre's name means "expert singer", and Thailand is blessed with an abundance of experts, singers with amazing control, grace, vitality and finesse. This collection of 22 songs features 15 singers, ranging from venerated legends to unjustly unheralded masters of the art. These songs were recorded and released after the era of the 7-inch single; with the advent of the cassette boom in Thai music, most producers adopted a quantity-over-quality conveyer belt production style, churning out soundalike material to fill the expanded length of cassette tape. Phaksiri resisted these tides and continued to work with a single-song mindset, tailoring each production's instrumentation and arrangement to precisely fit each singer and song. This care and integrity can be clearly heard in this sweetly groovy collection. These gems, originally released on 7-inch vinyl, are all first-time official reissues, a project years in the making. Compiled by Soi48, who also provide liner notes.
