Rationale and
Intention:
The intention behind creating a lyric book
featuring lyrics from Stray Kids' emotionally
resonant songs, such as "I Am You," "My Side,"
"Levanter," "Voices," and "Chronosaurus," is to
celebrate the poetic quality of their music. Stray
Kids are known for their profound and
introspective lyrics, which often read like poetry.
By compiling these lyrics, we can showcase the
depth and artistry of their words in a new,
tangible format, allowing fans and readers to
appreciate the lyrical beauty of Stray Kids' songs
in a more intimate and reflective manner. The
lyric book will be designed with a black and white
theme to emphasize the timelessness and
elegance of the lyrics, creating a striking visual
contrast that draws attention to the words
themselves. Little illustrations scattered
throughout the book will add a touch of
creativity and whimsy, enhancing the overall
reading experience. These minimalist
illustrations will complement the black and white
theme, providing visual breaks without
overshadowing the lyrics. This book aims to
highlight the poetic quality of Stray Kids' lyrics,
create a visually engaging experience, and offer
fans a beautiful keepsake that allows them to
connect with the music on a deeper level.
3 Racha:
3RACHA, consisting of Bang Chan,
Changbin, and Han, is the powerhouse
behind Stray Kids' song writing and
production. Known for their innovative
and heartfelt lyrics, they delve into
themes of self-discovery, struggle, and
hope. Their ability to craft words that
resonate on a deep emotional level stems
from their personal experiences and
reflections, which they infuse into their
music. Songs like "Voices" and "Levanter"
showcase their talent for translating
complex emotions into poetic verses,
creating a profound impact on listeners.
3RACHA's unique blend of rap and
melodic elements brings a raw and
honest quality to their lyrics, making
them relatable and moving.
Dance Racha:
DANCERACHA, made up of Lee Know,
Hyunjin, and Felix, contributes to the
emotional and lyrical depth of Stray Kids'
songs through their expressive
performance and keen sense of rhythm.
Their understanding of the physicality of
music allows them to interpret and
enhance the lyrical content with their
movements, adding another layer of
emotion. While they may not be as
prominently involved in the song writing
process, their feedback and
interpretation during the performance
stage help shape the final emotional
delivery of the songs. This synergy
between dance and lyrics is evident in
tracks like "My Side” and “Cover me"
where the choreography and music blend
seamlessly to convey the song's poignant
message.
Vocal Racha:
VOCALRACHA, comprised of Seungmin
and I.N, brings a distinct emotional
texture to Stray Kids' songs through their
vocal delivery. Their voices add a layer of
vulnerability and sincerity to the lyrics,
making the emotions in the songs feel
more immediate and genuine.
Seungmin's clear and emotive singing,
combined with I.N's youthful and
heartfelt tones, enrich the lyrical content
with a poetic sensibility. In songs like "I
Am You" and "Chronosaurus," their vocal
interpretations bring out the nuances of
the lyrics, enhancing the overall impact
and helping to convey the deeper
meanings behind the words. Their
contribution ensures that the emotional
weight of the lyrics is fully realized in
each performance.
Self-reflection:
I've embarked on a journey of self-discovery and artistic
expression through the creation of a lyric book centered
around Stray Kids' music. Initially driven by a desire to
compile emotional lyrics, this project evolved into a
deeper exploration of the themes and personal
narratives embedded in their songs. Stray Kids' lyrics,
which often explore complex emotions such as struggle,
hope, and self-discovery, prompted me to reflect deeply
on my own experiences and how these songs parallel my
journey.
Designing the lyric book with a black and white theme
was a deliberate choice to reflect the timeless and
elegant nature of the lyrics, akin to classic poetry. This
aesthetic decision aimed to highlight the raw emotions
and profound messages within the songs while ensuring
that the lyrical beauty remained the focal point. The
addition of minimalist illustrations throughout the book
complemented this theme, offering visual breaks that
enhanced engagement without detracting from the
lyrical content.
During this process, I gained a profound appreciation for
the different creative contributions within Stray Kids.
3RACHA, comprising Bang Chan, Changbin, and Han,
brought a raw and honest quality to the songs through
their innovative and heartfelt lyrics. Their ability to
translate personal experiences into universally relatable
themes is evident in songs like "Voices" and "Levanter,"
which resonate deeply with listeners. DANCERACHA,
consisting of Lee Know, Hyunjin, and Felix, added
emotional depth to the lyrics through their expressive
performances and rhythmic interpretations,
demonstrating how dance can amplify the emotional
resonance of music. VOCALRACHA, featuring Seungmin
and I.N, enriched the lyrical content with their
vulnerable and sincere vocal deliveries, enhancing the
immediacy and authenticity of emotions in songs like
"Cover me" and "Youtiful."
This journey of creating a lyric book has been
transformative, fostering not only a deeper connection
with Stray Kids' music but also a greater understanding
of artistic expression and emotional storytelling. The
project provided a meaningful outlet for creativity and
self-reflection, culminating in a visually engaging
keepsake that celebrates the depth and artistry of Stray
Kids' work.
