Singer-songwriter An Ye-eun unveiled an OST for the Tongyang fantasy healing novel.
An Ye-eun released the OST "Gwi Hwaseo, Saho Nhwa" from the novel "Gwi Hwaseo, I Will Protect the Last Flower" through various music streaming sites today (29th) at noon.
"Gwi Hwaseo, Saho Nhwa" is the OST born from the collaboration between An Ye-eun and Millie's library and is also the first novel OST sung by An Ye-eun. An Ye-eun participated in the lyrics, composition, and arrangement herself, and it contains a comforting message for everyone who must live in the present amidst longing.
Next is An Ye-eun's Q&A session regarding the novel OST "Gwi Hwaseo, Saho Nhwa."
Q. Please give a brief introduction of the song "Gwi Hwaseo, Saho Nhwa."
A. I think it was trying to convey the story of "Let's try to live on despite having the big gap left by losing a loved one." While capturing the theme of the work, I also tried to incorporate both the determination of the living and comfort for the deceased.
It was.
Q. What was the focus while working on "Gwi Hwaseo, Saho Nhwa"? If you were to highlight lyrics that penetrate the song's narrative, what would they be?
A. I focused on preserving the meaning and atmosphere of the novel as much as possible, and added my impressions slightly on top of that. I would like to highlight the second refrain as the lyrics that penetrate the song's narrative, which go from "Live on / Please continue to live" to "You, whom I long to see."
Q. It is unusual to work on an OST based on the novel's content. Was there a trigger that led you to decide to collaborate with "Gwi Hwaseo, I Will Protect the Last Flower"?
A. I have always loved reading books a lot, and as someone whose first hobby is reading, it was also exciting to work on something based on 'books' rather than webtoons, dramas, or movies, making it a thrilling first step.
Q. How does the process of interpreting a novel into music take place, and how does it differ from previous music production?
A. When I work on my albums, it feels like starting from scratch, but with OSTs or musical works, the story is already clear, so I can work more quickly and enjoyably, which seems to be the difference.
Q. You have sung various OSTs based on original works such as webtoons. If there are characteristics unique to working on a song with an existing original, what would they be?
A. Since there is an original work, I try to work faithfully to it. When I receive requests for OSTs or musical work, I always hope to create music that fits the original like a tailored suit.
