Today’s song comes from singer-songwriter MRCH, and it’s one of those quiet tracks that doesn’t ask for attention — but slowly earns it.
“Green We Shared” is a soft, reflective song about looking back on a youthful love, remembered not through dramatic moments, but through colors, places, and sensations that linger.
The song is also part of a very special project: it serves as an OST for a novel written specifically to be released as an audiobook, with visually impaired listeners in mind. That context makes the lyrics even more meaningful — they paint images meant to be felt as much as seen.
Let’s take a look at these beautiful lines:
“풀잎 위의 무지개
노을을 머금은 바닷가
나를 부르고 있대”
“A rainbow on the grass,
a seaside holding the glow of sunset —
they say it’s calling out to me.”
—
🌱 풀잎 위의 무지개 – “A rainbow on the grass”
• 풀잎 → blades of grass
• 위의 → on / above
• 무지개 → rainbow
💡 Interpretation:
A quiet, almost impossible image. Rainbows usually live in the sky — placing one on the grass makes it feel intimate, fleeting, like a memory that only existed for a moment.
—
🌅 노을을 머금은 바닷가 – “A seaside holding the sunset”
• 노을 → sunset glow
• 머금다 → to hold in / contain
• 바닷가 → seaside
💡 Nuance:
머금다 suggests gently containing something — as if the sea is carefully holding onto the last warmth of the day. It’s a line full of tenderness and quiet nostalgia.
—
🕊️ 나를 부르고 있대 – “They say it’s calling me”
• 나를 → me
• 부르다 → to call
• -고 있대 → hearsay / “they say…”
💡 Meaning:
The memories aren’t passive. They call out. Not demanding — just softly reminding the narrator of who they once were, and where their heart used to be.

✨ Why This Song Feels So Special
“Green We Shared” doesn’t tell a story in a straight line. Instead, it lets images drift by — grass, rainbows, sunsets, the sea — and trusts the listener to connect the dots emotionally.
Knowing that this song was created alongside an audiobook for visually impaired audiences adds another layer of beauty: these lyrics don’t rely on sight alone. They invite you to feel color, light, and memory.
It’s a song about youth not as drama, but as atmosphere — a place you can’t return to, but can still hear calling your name.
