Story Behind The Song

We were riding our bikes along the river stream and come up with this song. The song represents our true love and hate towards our city, and why the city itself is so irresistible to leave behind.

Song Description

Recorded at LXS Studio. Written, arranged and produced by Love X Stereo. This song tends to get compared a lot with LCD Soundsystem's "All My Friends". One singular guitar riff flows through this 7-minute entire song. Very much influenced by New Order, The Smashing Pumpkins, and My Bloody Valentine. As its title suggests, the first track on the album, "Soul City (Seoul City)," is a gloves-off expression of the band's true feelings about its native city. The song is an attempt to melt contemporary Seoul, with all its ambivalent charm, into the lyrics and melody of the song. "Soul City (Seoul City)" ends on a majestic, psychedelic note, as if reflecting the complex civilizational world of this ancient capital.

Lyrics

I was walking down the streets of histories

I was weaving all the wasteful energies

I see million different faces in my dreams

Can't tell if it's fake or reality



I was driving my old bike along the stream

I got river veins right up to the sea

I see lovers being shy of kissing deep

Can't take out the girl inside of me



Gotta take it slow this time (oh, no, no)

You don't know where you are, cause you're in my city

Gotta take it slow this time (oh, no, no)

You don't know where you are, cause you're in my city



I was climbing up the hills of industries

It seems no one speaking up unanimously

Get all dizzy in this town that never sleeps

Keep up with your drinks and then you're free



Gotta take it slow this time (oh, no, no)

You don't know where you are, cause you're in my city

Gotta take it slow this time (oh, no, no)

You don't really know where you are, you don't know

Traffic jams, coffee burst, reveries

Order in almost anything with

Credit cards recommended to another

Plastic dream achieved to be an impersonator

Love the love and love the hate altogether

You won't believe this town, cause you're in my city



I was walking down the streets of mysteries

I'm still counting on hopeful energies

I'm in heaven or in hell or in between

Can't tell if it's fake or reality



Gotta take it slow this time (oh, no, no)

You don't really know where you are, you don't know

Blue sky, gray churches and fast jeans

Hurry up, you can't be lazy

This is probably the most safest place to be

Cause we got no guns, no anarchies

Fashion grows before the culture scene

You can't leave this town, cause you're in my city
