All four song titles are short in Korean

A full live version by Zitten is up. It's four songs: 'Nonsense' (엉터리), 'Goseong' (고성), 'Flash' (섬광) and 'Back Light' (역광). The first three are from the album 'Cape', released in November 2024, and 'Back Light' is from a 2018 single.

The order of the four

No.	Song
1	Nonsense (엉터리)
2	Goseong (고성)
3	Flash (섬광)
4	Back Light (역광)

The titles are even in length

Each of the four Korean titles is two or three characters long: 엉터리, 고성, 섬광, 역광.

When titles of similar length sit side by side, the list looks tidy. If just one were long, that song would stick out; when they're even, the four read as one set.

Two words about light

The third song is 'Flash' (섬광), and the fourth is 'Back Light' (역광). Both Korean titles have light in them: each ends in 광, the syllable for light.

섬광 is light that flashes for a brief moment, and 역광 is light coming from behind the subject. One is a word about time, the other a word about direction.

With the two songs back to back, light gets treated twice, in two different ways: once as a moment, once as a position.

An order that opens with 'Nonsense'

The first song is 'Nonsense' (엉터리), a word for something that wasn't done right.

Opening a session with that word is unusual, since the first song is usually given the job of opening the door.

It's an order that starts with a negative and ends with light: from 'Nonsense', through 'Goseong', on to 'Flash' and 'Back Light'. The order itself traces a direction.

How to listen today

Listen to the four songs in order. The flow from 'Nonsense' to 'Back Light' comes through first.

Then play the third and fourth back to back. It's the same light, handled in different ways.

Finally, read the Korean titles side by side: 엉터리, 고성, 섬광, 역광. When the lengths are even, the four songs look like one.
