Lyric
Lam Phloen Before Farewell
Sukchai Petch-ubon
Verse:
Sweet-smelling flowers in full bloom, almost breaking the branches
But still, I can't compare to your fragrance carried by the wind
You're like an expensive, high-priced flower
Like a rabbit looking up at the sky
I look up at you (Repeat)
Hook:
It's you
I finally met you, the beauty of this village (Repeat)
Just the sight of her face made my heart sing
I'm a stranger, but will you come with me?
I've fallen in love with you, shining like gold
Beautiful woman, may I follow you? (Repeat)
I'm a stranger, but I like you
Falling in love with a beautiful woman is like a test of this world
You, a beautiful lady with lustrous rich black hair. Do you have a lover?
Won't you make love to me? (Repeat)
I'm an ugly man, am I not worthy of your gaze?
You are out of my league
The love between the moon and the rabbit will never come true. This is goodbye
Goodbye, beautiful woman (Repeat)
If we can't be together, I want to go far away
Even calling out to you is painful (Repeat)
Beautiful eyes, I bid you farewell
To you... (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.
