FML

FML (2023) pairs two title tracks: a tired, honest song about feeling like the only fool in a rough world, and Super (손오공), a victory chant named after the Monkey King who never gives up. The unit tracks add a love that needs no shared language, dust that keeps settling as longing, and a spring shower. The vocabulary runs from being worn down and making resolutions to hardship, passion, goals, and getting happily soaked in the rain.
