시작 (그 해 우리는)
하림
하림 is a songwriter's songwriter — someone whose work has a literary quality that rewards close listening. This song has an unusual construction, something in between folk and indie, with a melodic sensibility that doesn't resolve where you expect it to. The production has a raw, unfinished quality that feels intentional: this is not a song interested in smoothness. Vocally he delivers with a kind of world-weary sincerity, a voice that sounds like it has absorbed a great deal. The concept of a beginning — 시작, "start" — is treated here not as excitement but as something more complicated, the moment before a thing becomes what it will be, when it's still pure potential and pure anxiety simultaneously. It's a song for people who understand that starting something meaningful is terrifying, that the blank page or the open door asks more of you than the middle of any journey. A contemplative, slightly melancholy piece that suits early mornings or the strange quiet before a significant decision.
