the words that are for me the talks that all make sense but as I listen on they bite me bitterly I also have a mind I am going my own way and as I listen on I let out a sad laugh wha’do(ds?) you want to know? have no else more to say? can’t you accept me just as who I am? if you fit me somehow in to your tight frame will my happiness mold into the frame? go to college get a job why don’t you have a date get maried have a child these are all for your well-being I am here right here why can’t you see me why don’t you see me

is anyone listening can’t show my hurt, alone depressed, quietly shed tears, alone ashamed, don’t want to be seen like this I know i’m ugly when i’m like this I know, I know, I know you’ll scold the noisy chirping bird you’ll peck the beautiful flower with radiant smile i’m tired of hurting alone i’ts hard to hide and cry I want someone to know now I want to speake up now that my heart is bitter and bleeding do you know, do you know my tears Is anyone listening?

don’t you think you’re Superman don’t you think you’re Batman Mr. Know-It-all appears whenever I grumble this won’t do because of that that is totally your fault you just need to understand do you think I don’t know? just hold me, that’s all I ask please hold me, that’s all I want in silence, hear my words and then just hold me, that’s all I wish i’m a femenine creature delicate and so fragile trying to show my female heart, why do you still not see? rather than your empty words, that’s easier to say than done hold me tight in your embrace(is?), that means everything

about

Like a petit book that you have always adored,Variantia’s first EP, “Sister’s Advice,” tells a story.

Not confined by any specific genre, this album ventures freely into the band’s own style of composition and play. Through explosive yet simple vocal style, a characteristic of Variantia’s, the album expresses innate agony and inner anger that everyone naturally harbors but cannot easily unveil – a quality which emits multifaceted charm that stirs up the possibilities of both contemplative questions and experience of catharsis.

The album is recommended by Park Tae Hee, the bassist of YB, and is produced by Ryu Ho-sung, a hidden gem and a prominent artist of the Korean indie music world. Ryu has collaborated with respected indie artists, such as Nell, Oh Ji-eun, Oh So-young, and Siwa.
Have you been unable to listen honestly into your own inner voice because of your surroundings and expectations? This album will thaw the old frozen walls guarding the sincerity of your core self, letting them to flow.


# Album recommendation – by Park Tae-hee, the bassist of YB (Yoon Do-hyun band)

The songs tell tales of my daily emotions and relationships with the others.
Variantia’s music allows the juice of various human sentiments to mix harmoniously. You and I, male and female, emotion and will, words and silence – how can these contrasting images reveal themselves in musical language?

The songs, as I listen to them more and more, enable me to vividly picture a scenery composed of all the above.
In excitement, I listen again to Variantia’s music.


# Album review by the fans

9827 – The music tickles my heart as if someone is talking about me.
9284 – A refreshing and unique chord progression, upgraded chorus, strong expressions that remind me of musical theater – all of these were memorable. Above all, the vocal was unbelievable.
3330 – I love the emotions, melody, and lyrics that are not easily felt from the other main-stream music.
4025 – It is an album that resists to be locked up in the narrow gaze of families, acquaintances, and friends. It consoles me with the tranquil traces of echoes it rings in my heart.
7545 – The lyrics encourage me to reevaluate myself, each song performs diverse sound, and the voice sings with sincerity that wrings my heart.
