Toy started as a duo of You Hee-yeol (유희열) and Yoon Jeong-oh, and was named after their two initials 'Y', as in Two + Y = Toy.
However, after releasing Toy's debut album "Inside My Heart" (1994), Yoon Jeong-oh left the band to study overseas and You Hee-yeol joined the navy for his mandatory military service. You Hee-yeol has been the sole member of Toy since 1996.
After his discharge from military service, You released Toy's second studio album "Yooheeyeol". The title song "내가 너의 곁에 잠시 살았다는 걸 (Remember I Was Next to You)", sung by Kim Yeon-woo, became a big hit and the album was a commercial success.
In 1997, Toy released the third studio album "Present" and also started a record label named Toy Music (currently Antenna Music). After a six-year hiatus from "Fermata" (2001), the band released their sixth studio album "Thank You", with the title song "뜨거운 안녕 (A Passionate Goodbye)", featuring vocals by E Z Hyoung.
In November 2014, Toy released the seventh studio album "Da Capo"
피아니시모
토이 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
바람 위로 하얀 구름이
구름 너머 눈부신 하늘
하늘 가득 그대의 얼굴
내 한숨은 길을 빙빙 돌아
쓸쓸한 밤 날 찾아온 메아리는
그대 미소, 그대 목소리
조심조심 들킬까
한 걸음 피아니시모
가슴은 쿵쿵 뜨거운 얼굴
감기 걸린 것 같아
햇살 아래 분수처럼
내 마음 아르페지오
나의 하루, 하루
그대의 얼굴 한가득
구름 너머 눈부신 하늘
하늘 가득 그대의 얼굴
사랑일까? 호기심일까?
내겐 모두 의미들로 넘쳐나요
단어 하나, 눈빛 하나도
조심조심 들킬까
한 걸음 피아니시모
가슴은 쿵쿵 뜨거운 얼굴
감기 걸린 것 같아
햇살 아래 분수처럼
내 마음 아르페지오
나의 하루, 하루
그대의 얼굴 한가득
하늘 위 풍선처럼
두둥실 피아니시모
바보처럼 그대 앞에 서면
꼼짝할 수가 없어
까만 밤 저 달빛처럼
내 고백 아르페지오
그대가 좋아요
그대가 정말 난 좋아요
The lyrics of 토이's song "피아니시모" paint a vivid image of nature with its mention of the rustling leaves of a tree, the gentle breeze that carries them, and the white clouds drifting in the sky above. The imagery of a dazzling sky filled with your face creates a sense of longing and yearning. The singer's sighs seem to wander aimlessly, echoing through the lonely night until they are met with the reverberation of your smile and voice, which bring comfort and warmth. The repetition of "피아니시모" suggests a cautious approach, as if the singer is afraid of revealing their true feelings and risking vulnerability.
As the lyrics delve into the physical sensations experienced in the presence of the loved one, such as a racing heart and a feverish flush, there is a palpable sense of excitement and uncertainty. The comparison to catching a cold under the sunlight portrays a feeling of being overwhelmed by emotions that are both exhilarating and potentially dangerous. The reference to "아르페지오" symbolizes the ups and downs, the highs and lows of the singer's emotions, as they navigate the complexities of their feelings towards the beloved individual.
The contemplation of whether this connection is love or mere curiosity reflects the singer's introspection about the significance of their emotions. The overflowing meanings represented by simple words and eye contact hint at the depth and complexity of the relationship being explored. Again, the cautious tone is repeated, suggesting a reluctance to fully express one's emotions for fear of being discovered or rejected.
The final verses evoke a sense of surrender and vulnerability, likening the singer's presence before the loved one to a floating balloon unable to resist the gravitational pull. The vulnerability of confessing one's feelings, described as an "아르페지오," is paralleled to standing in front of the beloved one like a fool, unable to move or speak. The confession of affection is straightforward and earnest, as the singer declares their love and admiration for the beloved individual in a simple yet powerful declaration.
