The order of the four

No. Song
1 That Girl and I
2 Yellow
3 Don't Know Why (originally Norah Jones)
4 Let's Go

Four stages of love

The opener, 'That Girl and I', renders the shining moment of falling in love. It is the starting point.

The second, 'Yellow', holds the hope of living in the world while healing wounds with love — the place where love stops being a feeling and becomes a tool.

The last, 'Let's Go', holds the wish to comfort the person you love and keep that love to the end.

It starts at the moment of falling, passes through healing, and ends with a promise to keep it. The four songs each stand at a different stage of love.

Someone else's song in third place

Only the third song is not hers. It is Norah Jones's 'Don't Know Why', introduced as a song by a musician YUNINI loves.

Putting someone else's song between your own is a way of declaring taste. Sometimes what a person listens to is more accurate than what they make.

'Don't Know Why' is a title that says it does not know the reason. Between three songs about falling, healing and keeping, one song sits saying it does not know why.

Someone who started with two prizes

YUNINI debuted by winning the gold prize and the lyrics prize at the 26th Yoo Jae-ha Music Competition with the song 'Here, Here, Here'.

Winning the lyrics prize as well means the words were judged separately. There is one more prize she received not because the song was good but because the writing was.

Since her first single '9%' in the winter of 2017 she has kept singing her own stories, based in pop and moving through rock, folk and R&B.

Where this was filmed

Mangol Neighborhood Park in Yongin. It was an afternoon with the sunlight tilting, the crew wrote — the long stretched shadows seemed to announce the end of that day.

Today, like this

Play the four in order. How the stages of love move is the first thing to follow.

Then play the third song on its own. Listen to how someone else's song sounds among her own.

Last, listen to the words of 'Yellow'. What the writing of a lyrics-prize winner is like is the last thing to check.

A new song has arrived at the playground today.
