3. Beyond the Road (Title) plays full length
The rest songs are 1 minute previews
1. Back on Track / Composed by Hogi Yoon
'Back on Track' reflects the feeling I've had when driving on the endless ocean side road in the West Coast. The lively upbeat rhythm is at best when driving.
2. Delicate Mind / Composed by Hogi Yoon
Just like the name of the song, it portraits a pure and cristal clear, yet fragile and delicate mind, which is akin to the sound of the saxophone. Such saxophone sound along with the percussion backing up delivers a comforting piece of mind.

8. Green Firewood (희나리) / Composed by Sei-Ho Chu
There was a girl in my high school who didn't talk much and was often by herself. One day I heard her crooning a song that grabbed my attention and the song got stuck in my head.
I'd never talked to her up until then. I said, 'What's the name of the song?'. She smile slightly and said, 'Huinari (Green Firewood)'. And the next day, she gave me a piece of paper the lyric of the song written on it.
The lyric of the song is still stuck in my head and reminds me of the precious times in my teens.
9. Travels / Composed by Pat Metheny
My heart was pouding for days when I listened to Michael Brecker's Travels for the first time. I just walked on the road and listened this song over and over again.
The warm saxophone sound on the lyrical and bold bass sound is heartfelt, and I wish to share how I feel with this song with others.
