안녕하신가영 (Hello Gayoung) – 언젠가 설명이 필요한 밤 (A Night That Will Need Explaining)

I got a (used) car! (And that’s my excuse for slacking lately.) Who knew buying a car would be so complicated and troublesome. I think the worst part was having to deal with the genuine fake smile of the car salesman, because he was so damn good at it. I wish I could have half his ability to curtain his true feelings, then maybe I’d actually have friends. Anyways, on the way back from the dealership, I got all giddy thinking how I can finally put “What was your first car?” as my security question, along with my usual “What was the name of your first pet?” (I guess I could do a post on my dog one day). But yea, it’s the little stuff like this that get me thrilled for no reason.
It’s been getting harder and harder to fall asleep lately. I used to literally fall asleep within minutes, up until about two years ago. I don’t know what happened, but I’ve just been having trouble falling asleep right away, and it gets worse whenever I get excited over something. It happens maybe like three or four times a year, and I just lie in bed, shifting around, thinking about that one thing, whether it’s school, my future, a girl, or in this case, a car. Even though I’ve been living away from my parents since middle school, it finally feels like I’m my own man, being able to go anywhere at anytime without anyone’s permission. To subdue this gush of excitement that keeps me up at night, I listen to a lot of calming songs to help me fall asleep. Although I never actually end up falling asleep while listening to them, I think they certainly get me relaxed to a point where I can turn the song off to go to sleep. This songs one of them. I hope you like it .

(I had so much trouble translating this song… the literal translation don’t make much sense in English, but I still tried to stay true to the lyrics of the song)
