A Little Slower｜Acoustic Cafe Jazz Folk｜English Version

A Little Slower A warm acoustic cafe jazz folk song about slowing down, letting go of what we do not need to carry, and returning to the life that is already here. We often hurry even when nothing is chasing us. Our minds move toward the next task, the next answer, the next day. But perhaps a simpler life is not about having less. Perhaps it is about holding a little less. One thing at a time. One softer step. A little slower. This song is an English reinterpretation of the Korean song 「조금 느리게 살아도 됩니다」 from Goyo’s Song Notes VOL.2 「다시 지금으로」. Original Korean song: 조금 느리게 살아도 됩니다 English title: A Little Slower Album: Goyo’s Song Notes VOL.2 | Back to Now Genre: Acoustic Cafe Jazz Folk Vocal: Mature Female Low Register ────────────── LYRICS [Verse 1] There is always one more thing Waiting somewhere down the line One more answer, one more plan Already filling up my mind Even when the room is still I can feel tomorrow call So today I’ll leave some space I don’t have to hold it all [Pre-Chorus] Not every word needs an answer Not every road needs to be run [Chorus] A little slower A little less to hold One thing before me Is enough for me to know A little quieter I hear my own life again When I stop reaching for everything I come back to where I am [Verse 2] When I’m walking, let me walk Feel the evening on the street When I’m sitting with my coffee Let that moment be complete I can leave a thought unfinished Let a worry lose its name Nothing disappears by waiting But I don’t have to chase each day [Pre-Chorus] I don’t need to live ahead I can stay with what is here [Chorus] A little slower A little less to hold One thing before me Is enough for me to know A little quieter I hear my own life again When I stop reaching for everything I come back to where I am [Bridge] Maybe simple doesn’t mean Having almost nothing left Maybe it is choosing gently What I carry, what I set down One less hurry One less fear One less thought pulling me away And in the room that opens up I can finally feel the day [Final Chorus] A little slower A little less to hold Let this cup stay warm beside me Let this evening gently unfold A little quieter There is nothing I must prove When I stop reaching for everything My life has room to breathe again [Outro] One less hurry One softer step Nothing lost Nothing left behind A little slower I am here ────────────── © Goyo’s Song Notes.
