【E】 "피터 말릭, 따뜻한 사람…'27 years'는 추억 담긴 곡" Peter Malick is a Warm-hearted man..."27 Years" is a Song of Reminiscence
Singer Jung Yonghwa reflected on working with Peter Malick.
At the showcase for “One Fine Day” held on Jan 19 at Maria Callas Hall in Seoul, he remarked, “In May last year, when I went to Los Angeles to support the LA Dodger Hyunjin Ryu, I visited Peter Malick’s studio thanks to an introduction by an acquaintance.”
He recollected, “I thought American artists would work in huge studios, but he was working in a studio that was the size of a room. There were acoustic and electric guitars placed in the corner. It felt very warm and cozy that his daughter was around him. Listening to his songs, I had such a kind impression of him.”
On working on “27 years” with Malick, Jung explained, “I thought, 'When a warm-hearted person writes music, the song comes out the same way.' When I requested that I’d like to work with him, he eagerly accepted. As soon as I returned to Korea, we exchanged demos and wrote it together. From the beginning, I thought it’d be nice to include my own story.”
He added, “I wrote the lyrics very fast. After spending time with my family at a Japan tour, I returned home alone wrote it in a breeze. Reminiscing the past 27 years, there were tough times that made me wonder whether this is my way. When I was little, there was no such worries. I wrote this song in memory of such times."

I like "27 years" and I identify with it, although I have only 22 years this is a song for all ages which allows you to travel a little past where many cute brings back memories.
When released into the channel tracks, this call me much attention, I liked the melody and, when complete heard and knew the letter fell in love with this song. ^^
The whole album is great and i love it, has stories that many can identify with them.

" ... the past 27 years, there were tough times that made me wonder whether this is my way." I want to give him a big HUG.

Thanks for translating this. I've been very curious about the backstory of 27 Years.

This is the reason why his music always speaks to me because there is always so much of himself and his thoughts in each of his compositions.
