Playground

One keyboard in a snow-covered playground: daisy at NONOL Live, down to the 30-second piano solo in '왜?' ("Why?")

Four songs that singer-songwriter daisy sang alone at the keyboard in the snow-covered playground of Wolcheon Neighborhood Park in Changdong: the debut song 'Sled', 'Fallacy', which came out as NONOL VOL 17 132 days later, '왜?' ("Why?"), with a 30-second keyboard solo, and '나의 낯선 안식처' ("My Unfamiliar Refuge").

One keyboard in a snow-covered playground: daisy at NONOL Live, down to the 30-second piano solo in '왜?' ("Why?")
Photo: still from the NONOL Live video of daisy

Only one person appears in daisy's NONOL Live from start to finish. Wearing a red knit top, daisy stands at a keyboard and sings, and there are no other players. The video description introduces daisy as the twentieth NONOL Live musician and says daisy has played piano since the age of six and majored in it. It was filmed at the playground of Wolcheon Neighborhood Park in Changdong, and just as daisy says between songs, '오늘 눈이 이렇게 계속 오네요' ("It keeps snowing like this today") (3:14), even the slides are covered in white.

0:01 · Debut song 'Sled' (썰매)

daisy introduced it as '제 데뷔곡' ("my debut song"), and it came out as a single in July 2021. After it ended, daisy said it was written with the feeling that life is sometimes like cold, slippery ice (3:24). Apple Music

4:19 · 'Fallacy' (오류)

daisy introduced this fallacy as something that comes from thinking, not a computer or machine error (3:49). From 5:37, when '내가 너무 미워요' ("I hate myself so much") ends, the keys carry on for 17 seconds with no voice, and for another 14 seconds the keys flow alone before 8:15, where the song ends on that same line. The song came out as 'NONOL VOL 17' on July 11, 2023, 132 days after the video went up. Apple Music

9:08 · '왜?' ("Why?")

daisy wrote this song while thinking of the times when meeting many people left question marks in the mind (8:58). The keyboard solo that runs for nearly 30 seconds from 11:43 is the longest stretch of playing on this stage. The last line is '우린 평생 서로의 맘을 모를 거야' ("We'll never know each other's hearts, all our lives") (12:50). This song isn't on Apple Music.

14:00 · '나의 낯선 안식처' ("My Unfamiliar Refuge")

daisy said the last song is about a presence that became a refuge for daisy while wandering (13:26). This song isn't on Apple Music either.

The video was posted on the NONOL channel on March 1, 2023. If you're curious about a stage with one guitar, see the November 7 Playground on LEAFY too.
