Hummingbird symbolizes the enjoyment of life and the lightness of being. For me, a hummingbird was what I wanted to be. I often say that ‘Hummingbird’ is my favorite song from my new EP, because the lyrics are hopeful and convey the fact that there should be no pressure to become something. Of course, I’d be happy to become something I want to become and achieve the things I want to achieve, but I have realized that these things are not all that important.
I wrote this song before I made ‘Nothing Lasts Forever’ so those two tracks are kind of similar, as with that song, I was aiming to make something with a lighter, happier, and calmer sound overall.
허밍버드는 삶의 즐거움과 존재의 가벼움을 상징한다고 해요. 저한테는 제가 되고싶은 존재였죠. 저는 ‘Hummingbird’가 제 새 EP 중 가장 좋아하는 곡이라고 자주 말해요. 가사가 희망적이고 무언가 되어야한다는 부담이 없기 때문이에요. 내가 원하는 무언가가 될 수 있다면 너무 좋겠지만 그건 그렇게 중요하지 않다고 깨달았어요.
이 곡은 ‘Nothing Lasts Forever’를 쓰기 전에 쓴 곡이에요. 그래서 두 곡은 조금 비슷해요. 좀 더 밝고, 가볍고, 행복하지만 전체적으로 차분한 사운드를 만들고 싶었어요.
