Four songs with one guitar, and the song with no title became 'Green Home': LEAFY at NONOL Live
Photo: still from the NONOL Live video of LEAFY

LEAFY's NONOL Live is a stage filled with one voice and one guitar. With no drums and no bass, you can clearly hear the moment in each song when the guitar is left on its own. It was filmed on the last day of February in front of the treehouse at Changgol Children's Park, and the video description calls LEAFY the twenty-second NONOL Live musician. In the subtitles the name appears as 'HYEEUN', and the description says the stage name has changed to LEAFY (리피). The guitar was played by Sanggyun (상균님), whom LEAFY thanked between songs (12:07).

0:00 Green Home

The first song shows up on the video's title card as 'DREAM'. After singing it, LEAFY introduced it as a song that will now come out with NONOL, and said it didn't even have a title yet (3:31). The description lists it as 'Green Home' and begins its introduction with '가끔씩 숲속에 혼자 남겨진 꿈을 꾼다' ("I sometimes dream of being left alone in a forest"). It came out as 'NONOL VOL 19' on August 27, 2023, 165 days after the video went up. The guitar opens alone for 13 seconds, and the singing starts at 0:13. Apple Music

3:50 Fade away

LEAFY introduced it as '저의 세 번째 싱글' ("my third single"), and it came out on June 30, 2022. The description calls it '이별 후에 다가오는 공허함을 쓴 곡' ("a song about the emptiness that comes after a breakup"). The guitar opens alone for 22 seconds, and from 6:54, when the last lyric ends, until 7:19, the guitar is left alone for another 26 seconds. Apple Music

8:09 Nobody Gets Me

A song from SZA's album 'SOS', released in December 2022. LEAFY said SZA is one of the artists LEAFY likes most, and the description says what spoke to LEAFY most was the meaning of the chorus line 'Nobody gets me, you do'. 'Fade away' and 'RUN' are played on electric guitar, and this song on an acoustic guitar. Apple Music (original)

12:47 RUN

A single that came out on February 16, 2023, 27 days before the video went up. From 14:44 the guitar carries on for 25 seconds with no lyrics, and that is where the guitar is loudest in this song. At 15:54, when the last lyric '달려볼게' ("I'll try running") ends, the guitar stops together with it, so the song ends with no lingering tail. Apple Music

The video was posted on the NONOL channel on March 15, 2023. The twenty-fourth NONOL Live, with KANG DONGHOON, was filmed in the same park and is covered in the November 6 Playground.
