tales and truth

"Tales and Truth" - True to its title, s-o-a's music transcends mere melodies and rhythms, wielding a powerful depth that delves into emotions and the human soul. Their second EP, Tales and Truth, invites listeners on an inner journey through four stories crafted by the band.

"White Night"
This track captures the unstable emotions of spending time in a room where night never falls. Within lyrics filled with deep silence and melancholy, the song explores the struggle between the desire to protect kindness and the reality of not being able to. The cold air that pierces and the scent of the dappled sunlight weave a narrative of the internal conflict between kindness and solitude, drawing listeners in with its raw emotional depth.

"Sleeping princess on the feather (ep ver.)"
While this song revolves around the fantastical theme of a sleeping princess, there is a profound underlying meaning as it symbolizes her inner conflict. Set against the stillness of night and the light of the moon, the lyrics express the "unspoken emotions" that lie ahead, while the upbeat rhythm sends shivers through the listener's heart.

".lovesong"
"Whenever I love someone, my chest always hurts" - This lyric opens the song, which poetically portrays the contradictions and pain of loving someone. The song moves through the intersection of tenderness and cruelty, depicting the inner struggle as it pushes forward without concealment. It starts with minimal, unsettling sounds, and gradually swells into an explosion of distorted guitars and wild drums, overwhelming the listener. A deep love that wants to forget everything for just a moment, expressing that no matter how selfish it may be, it's a fleeting wish for absolution.

"Crimson Night"
This track is drenched in deep loneliness and the strong will to overcome it, capturing the heart of a person frozen in the night. The protagonist's "pain" is embraced firmly, while the simple prayer of wishing upon a star is imbued with profound meaning that strikes at the listener's heart. The desperate longing for "you," who seems so distant, is painfully conveyed, evoking a sense of yearning and helplessness.

"tales and truth" is a deeper, stronger EP that brings out the core of s-o-a's music. Each of the four tracks carries its own distinct story but converges toward one overarching theme. With keen insight into the human psyche, their music evokes intense emotions, leaving a lasting "truth" with the listener.

In a world of "love," "loneliness," and "struggle," s-o-a finds a faint hope - and through their music, they capture that very truth.
