Description (Translated):
E'last 2nd Mini Album “AWAKE”E'LAST's second mini-album < AWAKE >, following the previous work < DAY DREAM >, still delivers high-quality sound with the participation of top musicians in Korea. On top of the trendy and stylish rhythm, the rich orchestration and acoustic instrumental performance add humanity to the sound, which is a bit different from the POP and conceptual mainstream sound of the K-POP idol scene, and a lyrical sound based on oriental beauty and narrative. are representing
In particular, the title song 'Tearstain' is a song that shares the flow of the narrative with the previous work 'The Knight's Oath', and contains images of love and oath, followed by betrayal and misunderstanding, brainwashing and awakening, and the repetition of sentences that are repeated like screaming It evokes profoundness and even a sense of mystery.
It will also be a pleasure for fans to be able to watch the constant efforts and growth of E'Last members through various genre challenges to the extent that no similarity can be found in any track.
<Song Introduction>
1. Intro.
Intro starts with a lyrical melody that announces the beginning of this album.
The beautiful memories and agony unfolding in the process of the main character's transformation are composed of beautiful orchestration sounds and intense beats, leading to the title track, Tears.

2. Tears
Tearmark is the title song of Elast's second mini-album, and it is a song that melts Elast's unique sensibility with powerful beats and grand orchestral melodies. As a follow-up to his debut song, A Knight's Vow, the main character's memories and expressions of sadness as he gradually loses himself feel like watching a movie. The song develops with a story that continues the narrative of the previous work, Knight's Oath, and the repeated lyrics represent a state of chaos like brainwashing messages ringing in the head. In the feast of the splendid presidential election, lyrical melodies contrast, and in particular, the performance on stage shows a dynamic that is difficult to imagine when only listening to music, maximizing it and adding emotion. The mysterious and powerful voices of E'Last members are also very impressive and add to the afterglow of the song in the breathless music.

3. Dangerous
Dangerous is an EDM-style song with a trap beat that is a bit different from E'Last's lyrical sensibility so far, and shows a bold anti-war charm. The storytelling that crosses the boundary between reason and emotion and spreads the dangerous imagination is very interesting. The lyrics that exude a secret and dense image and the fast speed like bursting make you fall into the song rapidly, and the exciting yet easily memorable melody gives a tickling stimulus that you don't know where it is, and then cuts the running time. The point to watch is to feel the rich voice color of Elast, which has been restrained so far.

4. Present
Present is a ballad song with a warm piano and acoustic sensibility, carefully expressing the feelings of holding on to a person who is leaving.
The fact that a loved one is projected into the word present, which has the meaning of present and gift at the same time, gives a fresh and pure feeling.
The emotional upsurge from the faint melody and powerful orchestration reminds us of a beautiful landscape and seems to lead us comfortably to a scene in the listener's memory.

5.Because Of You
Because of you, a medium song of the Future Bass genre, has an R&B-like melody and lyrics that express honest feelings, giving a cute impression.
It reminds us of the object of envy that everyone has had at least once in the lyrics, which express the heart that is clumsy but cannot be expressed in words.
It is paradoxical in that it expresses memories for some and affection for others in a light and cool sound, but it has a charm that makes you smile.

Description (Original):
엘라스트 미니앨범 2집 “AWAKE”엘라스트(E’LAST)의 두 번째 미니 앨범 < AWAKE >는 전작인 < DAY DREAM >에 이어 국내 정상급 뮤지션들의 참여로 여전히 높은 완성도의 사운드를 들려준다. 트렌디하고 스타일리시한 리듬 위에 풍부한 오케스트레이션과 어쿠스틱 악기들의 연주로 인간미를 더한 사운드는 K-POP 아이돌 씬의 POP적이며 컨셉추얼한 주류 사운드에서 조금은 벗어난, 동양적인 아름다움과 서사를 바탕으로한 서정적인 사운드를 표방하고 있다.
특히 타이틀곡 ‘눈물자국’은 전작 ‘기사의 맹세’와 그 서사의 흐름을 함께 하는 곡으로, 사랑과 맹세 그리고 이어지는 배반과 오해, 세뇌와 각성 등의 이미지를 담고 있으며 절규하듯 반복되는 문장의 반복은 심오함과 왠지 모를 신비감마저 자아낸다.
어느 트랙마다 비슷한 점을 찾아볼 수 없을 정도로 다양한 장르 도전을 통해 엘라스트 멤버들의 끊임없는 노력과 성장을 지켜볼 수 있다는 점 또한 팬들에게는 즐거움이 될 것이다.
<곡 소개>
1. Intro.
Intro는 이번 앨범의 서막을 알리는 서정적인 멜로디로 출발한다.
주인공이 변화되는 과정 속에 펼쳐지는 아름다웠던 기억과 고뇌가 아름다운 오케스트레이션 사운드와 강렬한 비트로 구성되어 타이틀곡 눈물자국과 이어진다.

2. 눈물자국
눈물자국은 엘라스트 두 번째 미니앨범의 타이틀곡으로 파워풀한 비트와 웅장한 오케스트라 선율로 엘라스트만의 감성을 녹여낸 곡이다. 데뷔곡 기사의 맹세 후속작으로 자기 자신을 점점 잃어가는 주인공의 기억과 슬픔의 표현들은 마치 한편의 영화를 보는 듯한 느낌이다. 전작인 기사의 맹세에서의 서사를 이어가는 스토리로 곡은 전개되고 있으며 반복되는 노랫말은 머릿속에서 울리는 세뇌의 메시지처럼 혼돈의 상태를 나타낸다. 화려한 대선의 향연 속에서 서정적인 멜로디가 대조를 이루고 있으며 특히 무대에서의 퍼포먼스가 음악만을 들었을 때 상상하기 어려운 다이나믹함을 보여주며 이를 극대화시키며 감동을 더한다. 숨 막히게 전개되는 음악 속에서 엘라스트 멤버들의 신비롭고 강렬한 목소리 또한 매우 인상적이며 곡의 여운을 더한다.

3. Dangerous
Dangerous는 트랩 비트의 EDM 스타일 곡으로 지금까지 엘라스트의 서정적인 감성과는 조금 다르고 과감한 반전 매력을 보여준다. 이성과 감정의 경계선을 넘나들며 위험한 상상의 나래를 펼치는 스토리텔링이 매우 흥미롭다. 은밀하고도 농밀한 이미지를 물신 풍겨내는 노랫말과 터질 듯이 빠른 스피드가 급속도로 곡에 빠져들게 하며, 신나면서도 쉽게 기억에 남는 멜로디는 어딘지 모를 간질간질한 자극을 주다가 러닝 타임을 순삭 시켜 버린다. 지금껏 절제되어 왔던 엘라스트의 농염한 보이스 컬러를 느끼는 것이 관전 포인트.

4. Present
Present는 따뜻한 피아노와 어쿠스틱 감성의 발라드 곡으로 떠나가는 사람을 붙잡는 마음을 조심스럽게 표현한 곡이다.
현재와 선물의 의미를 동시에 지니는 Present라는 어휘에 사랑하는 사람을 투영시킨 점이 신선하면서도 순수한 느낌을 준다.
아련한 멜로디와 힘 있는 오케스트레이션이 주는 감정의 고조는 아름다운 풍경을 연상시키며 듣는 이의 기억 속 한 장면으로 편안하게 이끌어가는 듯하다.

5. Because Of You
Future Bass 장르의 미디엄 곡인 Because of you는 R&B적인 감성의 멜로디와 솔직한 감정을 표현한 노랫말이 귀여운 인상을 주는 곡이다.
서툴지만 말로 다 표현할 수 없는 마음을 있는 그대로 표현한 노랫말에서 누구나 한 번쯤 가졌던 선망의 대상을 떠오르게 한다.
누군가에게는 추억을 누군가에게는 현재진행형인 애틋함을 경쾌하고 시원한 사운드로 표현한 점이 역설적이면서도 자꾸 웃음 짓게 하는 매력이 있다.
