Description (Translated):
'Galaxy Express', which returned after a successful North American tour last spring, will unveil the third piece of the single release series planned ahead of the release of their first full-length album in two years. Announced as part of a planning series to release a total of three singles, one each month from August to October, this album includes Galaxy Express' new song 'Forever', along with 'I Really Want You' live sound source and 'Forever' acoustic soundtrack. Bonus tracks that have not been heard anywhere else, such as demo sound sources, are included.
October's single "Forever" is a very Korean and typical rock ballad song, and the composition of the song is not flashy and the chorus that makes you hum even once you hear it is very impressive. The single series of Galaxy Express is not only a showcase that predicts the nature of the regular album to be released in November, but also a place for new experiments that reflect notable attempts in terms of music. In short, they are challenging the analog recording method through this series of singles. Irrespective of the trends of the era dominated by the digital method, it is intended to capture the original energy and vivid sound unique to Galaxy Express with a human breath by utilizing the reel tape deck that has now disappeared from the record production scene. This will be applied to the recording of the regular album as it is, bringing about a major change in the sound of Galaxy Express, and at the same time, it is expected to leave a distinct point in their discography.
<Song Introduction>
1. forever
It is a very Korean and typical rock ballad with a hopeful message, "You can make everything that has passed and will come as it is now!" The non-flashy composition of the song and the chorus that make you hum even once you hear it are impressive.
2. I Really Want You (Live Ver.)
This is the title song of Galaxy Express's 2nd album [WILD DAYS], and is a live sound source from Telepathy's solo performance in 2011. The song was created by leader Lee Joo-hyun, who said he would make music for himself when he first liked music, and the straightforward lyrics received favorable reviews from fans.
3. Forever (Acoustic ver.)
This is the acoustic version of 'Forever'.
American Tour Locumentary <Must Hear Loud 2> Grand Opening on November 22nd!
Meanwhile, in line with the release of the single album, it was reported that a documentary film about Galaxy Express' 2012 solo North American tour [Must Hear Loud 2 - Wild Days] (Director Baek Seung-hwa) has been completed and is waiting for release. [Must Hear Loud 2], which has already attracted a lot of anticipation and interest, such as winning the Audience Award at this year's 'Jecheon International Music & Film Festival' and 'DMZ International Documentary Film Festival', has been confirmed for a nationwide premiere on November 22nd. Galaxy Express' third single "Forever", which will be released in October, will also be used as the theme song for this movie.
Stop Dumping Music! Try a new music distribution method!
Galaxy Express, which opposes the recent issue of 'unlimited music download', will produce and release this single in the form of a collaboration between Hyundai Card Music, an open market, and Galaxy Express. The open market is a method in which artists freely sell music at a price set by themselves, and it is a new concept music market that respects the opinions and positions of artists compared to the existing unreasonable distribution structure. This single by Galaxy Express will be released on October 30th at 'Hyundai Card Music' (http://music.hyundaicard.com/), the most representative sound source open market in Korea, at the same time as the release of the album.
Description (Original):
지난 봄 성공적인 북미투어를 마치고 돌아온 ‘갤럭시익스프레스’가 2년 만의 정규 앨범 발매를 앞두고 기획한 싱글 발매 시리즈의 세 번째 작품을 공개한다. 8월부터 10월까지 매달 하나씩 총 세 장의 싱글을 발매하는 기획 시리즈의 일환으로 발표된 이번 음반에는 갤럭시익스프레스의 신곡 '언제까지나'와 함께, ‘진짜 너를 원해’ 라이브 음원 및 '언제까지나’의 어쿠스틱데모 음원 등 지금껏 어디서도 들을 수 없었던 보너스트랙들이 수록된다.
10월의 싱글인 “언제까지나”는 아주 한국적이고 전형적인 록 발라드 곡으로 화려하지 않은 곡 구성과 한 번만 들어도 흥얼거리게 되는 후렴구가 매우 인상적이다. 갤럭시익스프레스의싱글 시리즈는 오는 11월 발표될 정규 앨범의 성격을 미리 가늠케 하는 쇼케이스일 뿐만 아니라, 음악적인 면에서 주목할 만한 시도를 반영한 새로운 실험의 장이기도 하다. 요컨대, 이들은 이번 싱글 연작을 통해 아날로그 녹음방식에 도전하고 있다. 디지털 방식이 지배하는 시대의 조류에 아랑곳없이, 이제는 음반제작 현장에서 사라진 릴테이프데크를 활용함으로써 갤럭시익스프레스 특유의 원초적 에너지와 생생한 사운드를 인간적인 숨결로 담아내고자 의도한 것이다. 이는 정규 앨범의 녹음에도 그대로 채용되어 갤럭시익스프레스의 사운드에 일대 전환을 가져오는 동시에 그들의 디스코그래피에도 뚜렷한 방점을 남기게 될 전망이다.
<곡소개>
1.언제까지나
지나간 것도 다가올 것도 모두 지금 이대로 만들어 갈 수 있다!라는 희망찬 메세지의 곡으로 아주 한국적이고 전형적인 록발라드다. 화려하지 않은 곡 구성과 한 번만 들어도 흥얼거리게 되는 후렴구가 인상적이다.
2.진짜 너를 원해(Live Ver.)
갤럭시익스프레스 2집 [WILD DAYS]의 타이틀 곡으로 2011년 텔레파시 단독공연 라이브 음원이다. 음악을 처음 좋아하던 시절의 자신에게 들려줄 음악을 만든다는 리더 이주현이 만든 곡으로, 직설적인 가사가 팬들에게 호평을 받았다.
3. 언제까지나 (Acoustic ver.)
‘언제까지나’의 어쿠스틱 버전이다.
미국 투어 로큐멘터리<반드시 크게 들을 것 2> 11월 22일 대 개봉!
한편, 싱글 음반 발매에 맞추어 갤럭시익스프레스의 2012 단독 북미투어를 담은 다큐멘터리 영화 [반드시 크게 들을 것 2 - Wild Days](감독 백승화)이 완성되어 개봉을 기다리고 있다는 소식도 전해졌다. 올해 ‘제천국제음악영화제’와 ‘DMZ국제다큐멘터리영화제’에 출품되어 관객상을 수상하는 등 이미 많은 기대와 관심을 모으고 있는 [반드시 크게 들을 것 2]는 11월 22일 전국 대개봉이 확정 되었다. 10월에 발매되는 갤럭시익스프레스의 세 번째 싱글 “언제까지나”는 이 영화의 주제곡으로 쓰일 예정이기도 하다.
Stop Dumping Music! 새로운 음원유통 방식을 시도하다!
최근 이슈가 되고 있는 ‘무제한 음원 다운로드’에 반대하고 있는 갤럭시익스프레스의 이번 싱글은오픈마켓인 현대카드뮤직과 갤럭시익스프레스의콜라보 형태로 제작 발매된다. 오픈마켓은 아티스트들이 스스로 정한 가격으로 자유롭게 음원을 판매하는 방식으로서 기존의 불합리한 분배 구조에 비해 아티스트의 의견과 입장을 존중하는 신개념 음원시장 형태이다. 갤럭시익스프레스의 이번 싱글은 음반 발매와 동시에 국내 가장 대표적인 음원오픈마켓인 ‘현대카드 뮤직’(http://music.hyundaicard.com/)에서 10월 30일 발매 된다.
