Lyric

The Universe Inside

JUU4E

Look at that nebula floating in the group of stars

What beautiful stars What a dazzling sight I feel happy

This is what we want to say

This is the world we want to escape from

People call it an ‘alcoholic’s life’. When they can’t manage, they turn to drink

On bad days they get wild too

When you’re full of sorrow, you want to cut up and bury the word ‘happiness’

A firefly comes and taunts me

If you wanna get high, take a star from the night sky, put it in your bong and let it go up in smoke

Until you can see around you (Inside your mind), let go of the steering wheel and cut loose

Sly thoughts make people suffer

Bad thoughts will come back and bite you some day

Good thoughts are OG and are worth more than khun phaen

It’s difficult to put into words, but there’s nothing malicious in the shining of the stars

You can feel the simple happiness floating there. You don’t need an avatar

Look at that nebula floating in the group of stars

What beautiful stars What a dazzling sight I feel happy

When pirates set sail to go and see the aurora, they forget their sorrow

Knowledge without words is like the hermit riding the tiger

But whatever happens, believe in friendship. If I wake up early, I believe in ganja

I don’t suffer, I manage my happiness. Life is not simple even if you have lots of money

I wanna ride a rocket at night. Last night I saw a dream about the Millennium Falcon

When I woke up, my bong caught my eye and I felt dizzy. My friend was snoring…

I stood at the top of a lighthouse and thought about my troubles, then walked once around the lighthouse

Life is like a river. It’s ok, the past will flow away

Dig down deep into the universe inside. There’s nothing bigger than our minds

When you get high and find the truth, your body feels so light. What is most important is to overcome your own mind

Rising out of the bong haze, Thai master JUU4E is back with his second solo album for EM Records. Fusing hip hop and trap with a pan-Asian blend of influences and samples from the traditional and pop musics of his native country, as well as the musics of Japan, Malaysia, Taiwan and other regions across the continent, "Crazy World" is an ambitious and sonically adventurous album alive with unexpected juxtapositions, deft production, irresistible grooves and a joyous heart. A true solo album, all the tracks here are performed/arranged/produced by JUU4E, with the final mix provided by Young-G of stillichimiya/OMK. With a versatile and playful vocal style, JUU4E delivers thoughtful, positive lyrics and intriguing imagery, dealing with issues both local and global, old and new, with themes of celebration as well as social criticism. Featuring a cover of a Taiwan pop classic by Teresa Teng, "Crazy World" is available on CD/LP/DL, and comes with informative liner notes and English translations of the lyrics. Cover art: Shinsuke Takagi (Soi48/OMK)

Artist Profile

  • JUU4E

    Never colonized, Thailand has remained purely itself across the years even while developing, evolving and selectively adopting international influences; the same can be said of Thai popular music, and can be clearly heard in previous releases of Thai music on EM Records. Perhaps the exception to this instinct of "pattana" (Thai for development or evolution) has been the luk thung genre, which, despite great forward leaps in the 1960s and 1970s, has been stagnant since the 1990s. New Luk Thung is here, however, as JUU4E and his friends update the luk thung genre with keyboards, drum machines, and samples from luk thung classics. Contemporary hip hop and trap are fused with luk thung and ramwong elements, as well as the traditional Isan/Lao instruments khaen and phin. Ex-biker JUU4E has been musically active since the 1990s as a respected rapper, musician and producer, relocating from Bangkok to the musically rich Isan region. His lyrics, in Thai, English, Khmer and Japanese, deal predominantly, humorously and punningly with ganja.
