[The Long Night by Seori, cover by BELLA]

The long night is here to take you away and I can't fall asleep

The long night is here and it takes you away

I can't just walk away

In this empty room In this emptiness

I can't take it I'm standing all alone

Sometimes I laugh with joy but the night comes and once again, I am alone

Maybe I'm so lonely

Everyday the empty night takes you away from me

The long night is here to take you away and I can't fall asleep

The long night is here and it takes you away

I can't just walk away

Please don't come

Don't take me away

Love me I don't want to go home

I hate the long night I hate this night

I envy that moon watching over you every night

.

Bella: With The Long Night, the most beloved song by SEORI, we give you the warmest welcome! Did you like it?

Seori: Before I say anything, thank you so much.

Bella: Thank you for being here

Seori: Your voice, definitely has the power to turn any song into yours

Bella: Nah, that's exactly what I wanted to tell you. Oh I'm blushing. The song that I prepared to welcome you, The Long Night was covered by many artist and of course, YouTubers? Was there a favorite among all of them?

Seori: I've been searching for about three, maybe four months after the song was released

Bella: I search mine everyday

Seori: Oh yeah? Well, I'm really bad with names, but it was a woman. I personally love people who sing the song their way

Bella: To be honest, I thought you would obviously say my name

(Laugh)

Seori: No I thought you were talking about other artists

Bella: Yeah sure I get it

Seori: But you never fail to disappoint me! Never!

.

Bella: You're actually really popular among the musicians. I heard this is your first time being on air

Seori: That's right

Bella: And I heard you were super nervous since its your first

Seori: Right...

Bella: But it doesn't seem that way at all

Seori: I get anxious a lot so I managed to learn a way to seem calm

Bella: Once the guests start singing, they seem to get a little relaxed. Tell us about your go-to song you chose as your first song

Seori: It's Drivers License by Olivia Rodrigo

Bella: Oh drivers license. Do you have one?

Seori: Not yet. Sigh...

Bella: I do and I'm willing to bring you everywhere you want to go.

(Laugh)

.

[Drivers License by Olivia Rodrigo, cover by SEORI]

I got my driver's license last week just like we always talked about

'Cause you were so excited for me to finally drive up to your house

But today I drove through the suburbs cryin' 'cause you weren't around

And you're probably with that blonde girl who always made me doubt

She's so much older than me she's everything I'm insecure about

Yeah, today I drove through the suburbs 'cause how could I ever love someone else

And I know we weren't perfect but I've never felt this way for no one

And I just can't imagine how you could be so okay now that I'm gone

Guess you didn't mean what you wrote in that song about me

'Cause you said forever, now I drive alone past your street

And all my friends are tired of hearing how much I miss you, but

I kinda feel sorry for them 'cause they'll never know you the way that I do, yeah

Today I drove through the suburbs and pictured I was driving home to you

And I know we weren't perfect but I've never felt this way for no one, oh

And I just can't imagine how you could be so okay now that I'm gone

I guess you didn't mean what you wrote in that song about me

'Cause you said forever, now I drive alone past your street

Red lights, stop signs I still see your face in the white cars, front yards

Can't drive past the places we used to go to

You know I still love you, babe

Sidewalks we crossed I still hear your voice in the traffic, we're laughing over all the noise

God, I'm so blue, know we're through

You know I still love you, babe

I know we weren't perfect but I've never felt this way for no one

And I just can't imagine how you could be so okay now that I'm gone

'Guess you didn't mean what you wrote in that song about me

'Cause you said forever, now I drive alone past your street

'Cause you said forever, now I drive alone past your street

.

BELLA: Wow

(Clap)

Bella: You really turn into a different person when you sing. It's like I never knew you and above all that I loved your song choice. It shows all of your charm

Seori: Thank you

Bella; I'm literally speechless, wow. Is there a reason you chose this song?

Seori: The biggest concern on my mind these days are lyrics. I used to write them really vague, the way I like it. But it crossed my mind that the listeners might not be on the same page with me. So when they hear this song, and when they hear me sing I want them to see what I'm seeing as if we are in the same room like we are in the song together. Olivia Rodrigo nails that to perfection.

Bella: You have a unique diction, very unique details. When you listen to drivers license,

(Imitating Seori)

Bella: See what I mean?

Seori: I think I see it

(Laugh)

Bella: As if you are delaying the sound on purpose. There are times you do that with your vocal. Do you study and practice all of those details?

Seori: Yeah I worked hard on those things you mentioned

Bella: I thought so

Seori: I was hoping it would be kinda fun to listen to ear-catching, if you will, so I try to keep that in mind.

Bella: What do you have prepared next for us?

Seori: It's a song called TOMBOY by Hyuk-Oh band

Bella: Blow us away

Seori: You got it

(Laugh)

.

[TOMBOY by HYUKOH, cover by SEORI]

I'm not used to my mother's love

Maybe that's why it's always so hard

In the greed of the fear of losing there's a small beauty to it

I'm happy, and that makes me anxious

The sea before the storm is always so peaceful

Can't just waste it, it will burn so fast I believe in love

Our youth barely shows its growth ring

It's slowly fading, blind to the light

It's true, I had no clue back then

Our differences were the only thing we had in common

You grew up and went far away

Now I see you in me

Our youth barely shows its growth ring

It's slowly fading, blind to the light

.

Bella: Was band music always your thing?

Seori: Yes! I loved rock music since I was a child, always loved the scent of England

Bella: British. I love it too.

Seori: I like that soothing type of music

Bella: My own songs aren't like that but the music I listen to, my playlists are mostly J-pop and British pop. Speaking of playlists, many artists say they have your song in their playlists you got a lot of shout-outs? Straykids, Bolbbalgan4, even BTS Jungkook. Do you have BTS in your playlist?

Seori: Of course

Bella; Is there... any favorites?

Seori: It's like... all of them...?

(Sneaking)

Seori: If I had to sing a verse, I'd go with spring day!

(Laugh)

.

[Spring Day by BTS, cover by SEORI]

The snow flake falls down and

A step further away I miss you, I miss you

I miss you, I miss you

How long should I wait and how many more nights should I stay awake to see you

To see you, to meet you

To meet you

.

Bella: Yeah!

(Clap)

Bella: Thank you for granting such a sudden request. Is there a musician you want to work with in the future...? It could be a collaboration, a featuring, you can give or receive em', starring as a guest in a concert, could be anything. You might wanna play together or interact with an artist... Everyone has a dream

Seori: How should I...

Bella: Be honest with me

Seori: If I had a chance in the future for real, I want to collaborate with BELLA.

Bella: How about right away?

Seori: Ah!

Bella: Performed by SEORI and I, BELLA, the highlight of our service, we're gonna be dueting. What do we have prepared?

Seori: Jannabi's For Lovers Who Hesitate.

Bella: Such a masterpiece... ah, I use this term too often. But it is a masterpiece.

(Laugh)

.

[For Lovers Who Hesitate by JANNABI, cover by SEORI & BELLA]

[Seori]

I'm easy to read

Take a quick glance at it

The inconsolable lonliness

Stay as long as you want

[Bella]

Please linger aournd me for a while

[Both]

Love, please love me

[Bella]

If I can, if I ever can I'll shine you with the brightest light

[Both]

And then, when the night comes

[Seori]

We'll mark a secret for just the two of us

[Both]

Let's leave a bookmark in this night

[Seori]

And open it up when no one's watching

[Both]

My ever-growing heart cannot be broken, unnoticed

It's better to be hurt than to regret

[Bella]

Your arms will be so warm, as I hurry into them

[Both]

And then, when the night comes

[Bella]

We'll mark a secret for just the two of us

[Both]

Let's leave a bookmark in this night and open it up when no one's watching

[Seori]

One day, when that day comes, we must not haste ourselves

Let's step backwards, facing each other and watch our goodbyes

[Both]

I know the love blooms and fades

The season is here once again and I will bloom for a while then fade once again, forever

[Bella]

Nevertheless, my love will dream the same dream

[Seori]

Nevertheless, the dream

[Both]

Will not be ignored hoo hmm

.

Seori: I loved it. I really enjoy these.

(Laugh)

Seori: Somebody's singing next to me and I have this urge to harmonize. It kinda like a drug to me

Bella: Did you major in practical music...?

Seori: Yeah... I did...

Bella: It's how we do it. 10 people are together, one starts singing the main melody and then you have an entire chorus

(Laugh)

Seori: That's true!
