OHYUNG: now i close my eyes the world i see is so beautiful

“now i close my eyes the world i see is so beautiful”, the final song from experimental rapper OHYUNG’s newest album PROTECTOR, is an unexpected, cascading lullaby. Combining a synthetic guitar riff and the looping melody of a children’s choir, the song samples a monologue from Taiwanese filmmaker Edward Yang’s modern classic Yi Yi, in which a young girl speaks to the ghost of her grandmother. “now i close my eyes the world i see is so beautiful” evokes the passage from one world into another, a reconnection to a loved one lost.
