bleeding in sunset blvd.
John’s album [ bleeding in sunset blvd. ]
invites listeners to share in the last two years of
his intimate journey.
Having spent most of his early adulthood in Seoul,
John sought inspiration and headed back home to
Los Angeles to work on his next studio album.
[ bleeding in sunset blvd. ] does not fall under any one
specific category but instead is a composition
focused on command over variety.
As a listener, John’s personal playlist spans many genres
ranging from Hip Hop to Classics to Rock to Jazz.
As a performer, he asks the listener to join in on a private
walk alongside him as he shares how he spent his time,
bleeding in sunset blvd.

As cliche as it might sound, I promise myself everytime that I will no longer write songs about you. But how is it that you always find your way around; you find your way into my day, my thoughts, and eventually into my songs. Enough is enough. Please, stay the hell out of my songs. K thanks.

It’s like falling in love with a familiar stranger. It’s her voice, her smile, and her touch that takes me back into old memories. But that’s OK, cause you’ll be gone by the morning.

Though I wake up to a brand new day, I wake up to the same old me. Who’s to blame?

I spent the majority of my life waiting passively.
See, when you’re in a position to actively wait -
you feel every second, you can touch every minute
and even see every hour that passes by.
As the wait gets longer and longer,
the genuineness grows bigger and bigger.
And sometimes you just have to face your problems.
And if waiting is what it takes,
then I’d wait another day.
