Castlebeat's musical journey took shape during his high school years, beginning with guitar playing and later transitioning to music composition. The discovery of Garageband on his laptop ignited his passion for writing and recording indie rock. A diverse array of musical influences shaped his artistic sensibilities, including contemporary acts such as Wavves, Beach Fossils, and FIDLAR, as well as classic bands like Joy Division, The Cure, and The Chameleons.
In 2016, Castlebeat unveiled his debut self-titled album, "Castlebeat," a collection characterized by its melancholic pop melodies. All the tracks on the album were meticulously crafted in Hwang's own garage, a testament to his DIY ethos and resourcefulness.
Castlebeat's distinctive sound is marked by home recording and production, often guided by intuitive decisions rather than formal training. Notably, he relied heavily on a cream-colored American Stratocaster for guitar parts, occasionally introducing subtle effects like light distortion and compression pedals. Throughout his creative process, Castlebeat harnesses Logic Pro for sound design, seamlessly integrating both stock and third-party plugins. This approach culminates in a distinct sonic identity, characterized by reverb and effects that blend seamlessly with pop-infused melodic concepts.
The release of Castlebeat's album "Half Life" on July 27, 2022, marked a significant milestone. Reflecting a year and a half of work, the album revisits his earlier sound while incorporating expanded elements. The album boasts an eclectic range of styles, from bedroom pop and dream pop to alternative rock of the 2000s and post-punk shoegaze.

Castlebeat Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Change your mind
End your life
End your life
You'll understand,
I'm looking out for you
Is you
In the driveway,
How long will you go away?
In the driveway,
How long will you go away?
End your life
End your life
End your life
End your life
You'll understand,
I'm looking out for you
And all i want to understand
Is you
In the driveway,
How long will you go away?
In the driveway,
How long will you go away??
The lyrics to Castlebeat's song "Change Your Mind" are open to interpretation, but one possible reading of the song is that it is about the struggle to understand and help someone who is going through a difficult time. The repeated lines of "change your mind" and "end your life" could be seen as the singer urging the person to reconsider their actions and not give up on life. The line "you'll understand, I'm looking out for you" suggests that the singer is trying to offer support and care for the person, but is met with resistance or difficulty in connecting with them.
The lines "in the driveway, how long will you go away" could suggest that the person is physically leaving or distancing themselves from the singer, adding to the sense of frustration and helplessness in the situation. However, the repeated lyrics of the song also create a sense of hopefulness or determination, as if the singer is determined to keep trying to understand and help the person even in the face of challenges.
Overall, "Change Your Mind" is a poignant and introspective song about the complexities of human connection and the challenges of supporting someone who is struggling.

Me enamore de ti, de tu alma
La sensación que me haces sentir aún a través de la pantalla es muy linda, me encanta mucho
Me gustaría describir todo mi amor por ti
Pero no existen los versos ni poemas enteros para poder hacerlo
Eres como una parte de mi
Aunque ahora ya eres parte de mi vida de mi día a día
Al despertar reviso emocionada el celular, escuchar tu voz, leer tu palabras de amor, ver tu foto y tus vídeo, pongo mi celular al pecho
El amor es magia, no me estás tocando con tus manos pero te siento tan fuerte conmigo sosteniendo mi mano mirándome a los ojos
Sonriendo diciendo mi nombre, abrazándome y dándome besos

In your life, in your life
In your life, in your life
You'll understand I'm looking out for you
And all I want to understand is you
In the driveway, how long will you go away?
In the driveway, how long will you go away?

En mis momentos de soledad y en la noche es donde más activa tengo la mente.
Pienso en todo y a la vez pienso en nada.
No se porque me gusta imaginar la vida posible que pueda vivir, en pensar en lo que haré dentro de unos meses o años.
Suelo imaginarme momentos específicos, cosas que podría yo hacer en algún momento.
Dibago por las noches, no puedo dormir.
Aveces me molesta eso, que mi mente sea más creativa o acelerada por las noches, ya que no me deja dormir.
Y el problema es cuando ya es de día y tengo pereza de hacer las cosas, de levantarme, de bañarme, de desayunar y alistar todo para salir y Seguir con mi vida sencilla, sin lograr nada en realidad y estar todo el día tirado en la cama perdiendo el tiempo, esperando a que llegue la noche y Seguir imaginandome la vida que jamás tuve.
Recuerdos que jamás pasaron, paraísos imaginarios en donde yo soy el protagonista y el guionista de mi historia.
Sólo en sueños.
Si la soledad fuera un problema yo sería la respuesta incorrecta, esperando a ser resuelto y dejando pasar el tiempo hasta que se me agote y entonces las noches ya no serán más noches ya, sólo epilogos de una vida difícil y ordinaria...
Tal vez mañana empiece saliendo a la calle o leyendo algo, pero de lo que estoy seguro es que en la noche voy a imaginar que yo no escribí esto y que podrá dormir en paz... O sólo dormir.

For those that were wondering where the footage came from, its Nobuhiko Obayashi's 1966 short film Emotion!

That's the year I was born, I grew up in the 70s in TX, US Army in Germany in mid 80s, NoVA college and DC/Adams Morgan going into 90s, moved to Cali mid-90s... The retro stuff... It's true. All of it. :) PS: I love Japanese 60s/70s cinema too!
