Clazziquai (Classic + Jazz + Groove) initially started out as an experimental project by leader and mastermind, DJ Clazzi a.k.a 김성훈 (Kim Sung-hoon). Kim graduated from Capilano College, and continued his study at CDIS (Center for Digital Image). After his graduation, he worked as a web designer, uploading his music online in his leisure time. Eventually, netizens (nickname given to Korean web surfers) discovered his music and were drawn to its experimental nature, which is the reason why Clazziquai was initially labelled a "project group"; in other words, it was meant to be a temporary partnership made for a specific music project, experimenting with music in order to create a more distinguished sound. Although this implied that Clazziquai would not exist long-term, this group has explained that their partnership was created for music, and thus they continue to exist.
Their music, similar to the shibuya-Kei movement, is a fusion of different genres but is predominantly House, Electronica and Acid Jazz. The group remained predominantly underground until their participation in the OST for the award-winning K-drama My Lovely Sam Soon. In late 2005, after collaborating with Japanese artists Fantastic Plastic Machine and m-flo, the group signed a contract under avex trax to release their music in Japan, while still being signed under FLUXUS MUSIC in Korea.
Clazziquai has so far released four albums plus one remix album, three VA releases, a song for the MBC show We Got Married (which Alex was a part of) and were featured on the OSTs for the dramas My Lovely Sam Soon and April Snow in Korea. In Japan, they have released two albums and were a part of the Lovebeat Disney VA album released by avex trax. The members themselves have also participated in various other OSTs and on albums for other artists such as Epik High, J (제이), Dynamic Duo, 윤종신 (Yoo Jongshin), Buga Kingz and Mighty Mouth.
Alex has currently released his own digital single and album along with collaboration digital singles with 지선 (Jisun) and her group Loveholic, whilst Horan released one solo song for a VA album and a digital coupling for a commercial with 8Eight and 박기영 (Park Kiyoung), as well as an album with her other group Ibadi.
Speechless
Clazziquai Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Touch you with your thousand memories
And I feel your song smoothly into my ears
Can't take my eyes away from you
I'm speechless I gotta get to you and take your hands and kiss
I'm so sad and blind I feel no goal and where is my soul and sense
I'm speechless I gotta get to you and take your hands and say
You live without me and then
My pain deep into my body and soul
And I cry so loud to send my mind away
Please wake up and then take my hand
I'm speechless I gotta get to you and take your hands and kiss
I'm so sad and blind I feel no goal and where is my soul and sense
I'm speechless I gotta get to you and take your hands and say
I'm so lost but feel I make no sense and still cannot do anything
The lyrics to Clazziquai Project's Speechless portray a heartbroken narrator who is longing for their lover. The song opens with the singer describing the physical qualities of their partner; their skin, breath, and memories. The singer feels the partner's song "smoothly" into their ears and cannot take their eyes away. The chorus reveals the intensity of the singer's emotions, they are "speechless" and must get to their partner, take their hands, and kiss them. The singer feels lost, sad, and blind, unable to find a sense of purpose or meaning in their life without their lover. The pain of being separated from their partner is so severe, the singer cries loudly in hopes that their lover will wake up and take their hand.
The second verse reveals the singer's anguish at living without their lover. The pain is so deep it consumes their body and soul. The singer cries out for their lover to take their hand and wake up. The chorus repeats, emphasizing the intense emotional state of the singer. They are lost, sad, and speechless, unable to make sense of their life without their lover.
Overall, the lyrics to Speechless paint a vivid picture of love, loss, and longing. The singer is consumed by their emotions, unable to find meaning or purpose without their partner. The language is poetic and metaphorical, with the physical qualities of the partner (skin, breath) serving as a representation of their essence.
