Silvercord is the brainchild of Geoff Nostrant, talented American who transplanted himself to Seoul and spent several years making music, and working as a producer and sound engineer. He describes Silvercord as an “ethereal/space rock/dream pop/ambient project created to emulate the states of consciousness found between sleep and dream.”
Daydreaming is a great song to introduce Silvercord’s music, a dreamy pop song featuring Kim Young Eun on vocals.
Silvercord feat. Kim Young Eun – Daydreaming
교실에 앉아서 창문을 바라봐
kyo-shil-e on-ja-seo chang-mun-eul pa-ra-bwa
내가 있고 싶은 곳, 저 멀리 먼곳에
nae-ga itt-go shi-p’eun kot, jeo meor-li meon-go-se
두눈을 감아요 하늘위로 날아올라
du-nun-eul kam-a-yo ha-neur-wi-ro na-ra-or-la
구름위에 누워 시원한 바람을 느껴
ku-reum-wi-e nu-weo shi-weon-han pa-ram-eul neu-kkyeo
너무 멀리 갔네
neo-mu meor-li gatt-ne
집으로 돌아와 엄마를 기다리다가
jib-eu-ro do-ra-wa eom-ma-reul ki-da-ri-da-ga
잠이 들어요 난 다시 그곳에
jam-i deu-reo-yo nan da-shi keu-go-se
두 손을 펴봐요 따뜻한 햇살을 따라
du son-eul p’yo-bwa-yo dda-ddeut-han haes-sar-eul dda-ra
바닷가에 앉아 파도의 노래를 들어
pa-dat-ga-e an-ja p’a-do-e no-rae-reul deu-reo
조금만 더
jo-geum-man deo
조용히 흘러가는 강물을 지나서
jo-yong-hi heur-leo-ga-neun gang-mu-reul ji-na-seo
달빛을 타고 저 하늘로 올라가
dal-bi-cheul t’a-go jeo ha-neur-lo or-la-ga
별을 따라 저 멀리까지 아름다운 그 곳으로
pyeo-reul dda-ra jeo meor-li-kka-ji a-reum-da-un keu go-seu-ro
구름위에 누워, 시원한 바람을 느껴
ku-reum-wi-e nu-weo, shi-weon-han pa-ram-eul neu-kkyeo
바닷가에 앉아 파도의 노래를 들어
pa-dat-ga-e an-ja p’a-do-e no-rae-reul deu-reo
그 때를 생각해 두 눈을 감고서
keu ddae-reul saeng-gak-hae du nun-eul kam-go-seo

Silvercord – Daydreaming
Sitting in the classroom, looking out the window
Where I want to be is far, far away
Close my eyes, fly high up to the sky
Lay down in the clouds, feel the cool breeze
Have I gone too far?
Came back home, I’m waiting for my mom
I fall asleep and I’m there again
I open my hands, warm with sunshine
Sitting on the shore listening to the song of the waves
I want a little bit more
Passing the river flowing silently
Riding the moonlight in the sky
Going far away following the stars to a beautiful place
Laying in the clouds feeling the cool breeze
Sitting on the shore listening to the song of the waves
Thinking of the time with my eyes closed
