It was good news from the morning of the first day of vacation.
It’s great to be chart-in, it’s climbed to the top 70.
Although it seemed unrealistic in reality, it was surprising that Jang Hyun-ah’s prediction was correct.
Other b-side songs also charted for a while and then disappeared.
Apparently, the impact of the challenge is definitely significant.
“74th place? That’s great.”
“Then can you hear Chaeyoon singing when you go out on the street?”
Lee Soo-hyeon, who was eating, said with admiration after hearing the news from Jo Sung-hyun.
Jo Jae-wook, who was sitting next to him, asks.
Jo Seong-hyeon turned to Chae-yoon and nodded.
“Perhaps. Most of the songs on the charts are played.”
“It would be amazing to hear it while walking down the street.”
Jo Jae-wook said that and finished the meal.
rushing to eat for work.
“Are you going to see the baby’s mother?”
“yes.”
“Goodbye.”
Jo Jae-wook just said that and went to work.
Although a little blunt, Seong-hyeon Jo was well aware that he had a lot of affection.
After that, Jo Seong-hyeon, Lee Soo-hyun, and Chae-yoon had a leisurely meal and prepared to go out.
There was no need to rush, so everyone was relaxed.
Chae-yoon was a little speechless than usual, but other than that, she finished the preparations in an image that was not much different.
Wear your shoes.
Jo Sung-hyun reached out to Chae-yoon.
“Shall we go now?”
“yes!”
The child nodded and left the house, holding out Jo Sung-hyun’s outstretched hand.
I got in the car that Lee Soo-hyun was driving and headed to the ossuary.
The song was in the top 70, and a few hours later, the ranking has dropped a few steps, but it is still in the top 70.
The grades were good and the reaction was good, so it was a good atmosphere in the company… .
In fact, Jo Sung-hyun and Chae-yoon were very calm.
The child was sitting still in the back seat, looking out the window.
Jo Seong-hyeon was also sitting in the passenger seat, looking out the window like a child and quietly keeping his mouth shut.
The silence was broken when it was almost over.
“It’s been a long time coming.”
came after a few months.
In my last life, I was so engrossed in my work that I missed my wife’s anniversary, not just a few months.
Jo Seong-hyeon felt that his thoughts were increasing at the appearance of the ossuary in front of him, and he shook his head slightly to relieve his thoughts.
The day was pretty good.
Jo Sung-hyun squinted his eyes in the sunlight and took Chae-yoon’s hand and moved.
Climb the stairs and go up.
Stand in front of the child’s mother.
“Hello Mom.”
Chae-yoon greets you first.
The child did not cry.
Lightly wave your hand and continue speaking.
“I was on vacation. I’m going to play with my dad. Will it be fun?”
As if speaking to Jo Sung-hyun, Chae-yoon’s voice was calm.
Seeing the child like that, Jo Sung-hyun stood quietly with his hand on Chae-yoon’s shoulder.
After talking about this and that, Chae-yoon hugged Jo Seong-hyun’s legs.
Gently stroking the child’s hair, Jo Sung-hyun opened his mouth as he looked at the picture of the child’s mother.
“I will come again.”
It was a short goodbye.
I want to say more, but it was not easy.
* * *
After meeting the mother of the child and returning home.
Jo Seong-hyeon changed into pajamas and laid down next to Chae-yoon, who was rolling around on the bed.
The child naturally cuts Cho Sung-hyun’s arm and falls into his arms.
Jo Seong-hyeon patted Chae-yoon’s back and opened his mouth.
“Chae Yoon-ah.”
“Yes.”
“Shall we write a song for mom?”
Among the songs the child has composed so far, several songs were born under the inspiration of Chaeyoon’s mother.
But I have never really made a song for a mother of a child.
I was planning to make an album during the vacation period.
Wouldn’t it be okay to start the album with a song for mothers of children?
Jo Seong-hyeon suggested with such a thought, and Chae-yoon nodded without hesitation.
“great.”
The child jumped up and headed towards the piano.
Chae Yoon-i still prefers to create songs while playing directly rather than touching the composition program.
Jo Seong-hyeon originally preferred to compose and build-up through the program, but… Maybe it’s because I’ve been spending more time with Chaeyoon lately?
It also became quite interesting to compose the song to match Chaeyoon’s style.
Cho Seong-hyeon took out the violin while Chae-yoon sat down at the piano.
Since it was just evening, there was no pressure to play.
If it was late, it would have worked if we sat next to the child and played the piano together, but if not, it is more comfortable to work together on the violin.
“How should I do it?”
“I want to do it with a feeling of building up rather than disappearing.”
To Jo Sung-hyun’s question, Chae-yoon answered as if he had been waiting.
Looks like something I’ve been thinking about.
As if to show it to you, Jo Sung-hyun looked at the piano.
Chae-yoon puts her hand on the keyboard and starts playing carefully.
follow. different. follow me.
A gentle melody flows.
Even though it was a simple combination, it was a melody with a strange feeling.
Jo Sung-hyun knew what the child wanted to try, as the song progressed.
It’s a repetition of the same melody.
It was a little different from the style that Chaeyoon and Jo Seonghyeon usually use when composing songs.
In general, Jo Seong-hyeon and Chae-yun had a high proportion of performances, even if they added lyrics.
But what Chaeyoon wants now is a song with a high proportion of songs with lyrics.
“Repeat this melody… It would be nice if it felt like something was added one by one.”
Chaeyoon said as she took her hand off the keyboard.
Jo Sung-hyun played the melody that Chae-yoon had just played on the violin.
Without being too calm, I play with a bit of finesse.
Chae-yoon’s piano performance was quite calm, but if Jo Sung-hyun’s violin performance goes on calmly, it could just be a gloomy song if you make a mistake.
Of course, as it is a song that is made with the child’s mother in mind… The atmosphere may not be as bright as it was, but what Chaeyoon and Jo Sunghyun wanted was not a gloomy song.
It can be a song that stimulates emotions, but it means that I don’t want to just make a sad song.
“I think I can play the violin in this way, can I use other instruments to add a little more of the feeling of stacking up that Chaeyoon said?”
Jo Seong-hyeon said so and looked at Chae-yoon, but the child was narrowing the brow as if contemplating.
“I don’t think there’s a need for a lot of instruments.”
“then?”
“I think the sound will be prettier when a voice is used instead of an instrument… I don’t know what to do.”
Chae-yoon said that and sighed a little.
I thought about the melody, but it seems that I haven’t thought of that yet.
Or, it may be that the child wants to draw something but does not know how to express it.
“Like singing in an opera?”
“opera?”
“yes.”
At Jo Seong-hyeon’s words, Chae-yoon tilted her head, showing that she couldn’t get a hold of it.
In the end, Jo Seong-hyeon brought a tablet and played an opera video.
In fact, opera may not be a representative example, but it seems to have succeeded in showing the feeling of proceeding with a mid-singer.
Chae-yoon showed interest with her eyes twinkling.
“It’s like this, it’s a little different.”
At the child’s words, Jo Seong-hyeon pondered for a moment, then found an a cappella video and showed it to him.
“How about this? It’s about using a human voice as an instrument to make a song.”
A cappella is when a song is played from beginning to end, with only the human voice without the help of other instruments.
After watching the a cappella video, Chaeyoon even clapped.
“This is good. But we’re not all voices… I think I can do it while using the piano and violin as well.”
“You don’t need a lot of vocals, right?”
“yes. I don’t play a lot of instruments, I just play the piano and violin… Instead, I think the sound will be interesting if we stack them like we just did.”
Chae-yoon actively expresses her opinion.
Jo Sung-hyun smiled softly and started composing a song with Chae-yoon.
It’s something I always feel when I’m making a song with my child, but it’s clear that Chaeyoon has a talent for picking things up on the fly.
Jo Sung-hyun is exposed to a lot of music, and there is a frame that he has without knowing it.
It’s not that it’s a very rigid frame, it’s that Jo Sung-hyun’s musical characteristics are there.
Chae-yoon creates new things on the spot without any such framework.
However, the speed of the work was rather fast, so it was surprising.
Usually, people who work fast are fast because they work according to their own framework.
Because Chaeyoon creates it without such a frame.
Jo Sung-hyun and Chae-yoon were able to work hard for two hours after that.
I wanted to do more, but time was time… .
“I don’t know… .”
“I know. It’s a little difficult.”
blocked off
As usual, I was composing with the thought of making a song for the album, rather than just humming songs that inspired me, so it wasn’t easy.
That day, he finally rested, and from the morning of the next day, Jo Seong-hyeon and Chae-yoon tried to work again.
However, once a blockage occurs, will the answer be found right away?
Eventually, the two of them groaned for hours and touched the song, then gave up.
“Is it too difficult?”
“It’s more difficult because it’s my first song.”
Chaeyoung shook her head nervously.
If it had been a classic song, it probably wouldn’t have felt so difficult.
It was closer to popular music, and the genre and musical characteristics were also different from those that Chaeyoon had encountered, so the pace was slower.
This was purely a matter of experience.
With Jo Sung-hyun, it progresses to a certain extent, but when I try to teach each child one by one, the pace is slow… The perfection of the song had to be ambiguous.
“Then, shall we continue after making the other songs first?”
Jo Sung-hyun suggested it, thinking that he might have been too greedy from the start.
The child seemed to think about Jo Sung-hyun’s suggestion for a moment, then nodded.
“great. Let’s make other songs first.”
“Is there any place you want to go?”
After we played together, we decided to make a song one by one, so Jo Sung-hyun asked if there was any place the child wanted to go separately.
Chaeyoung blinks her eyes.
“… I don’t have Dad?”
“I don’t even have a father… But I know someone who can recommend it.”
Jo Sung-hyun said so, and gently lifted up his smartphone.
