"Eye of the Storm" (Hangul: 눈의 시간) is the second track from GFriend's ninth mini-album, 回:Song of the Sirens. It was released on July 13, 2020.
The song is based on Yuju's entry from her diary 3 to 4 years ago. When she was in a very hectic time, she spends some alone time for herself for at least five to ten minutes to get herself together, calling it "Hour of the Eye of the Storm" and wrote down some sentimental things.
"Eye of the Storm" is a rock-based dance song, where Yuju and Umji contributed as lyricists. The lyrics tells that in the middle of a typhoon, you go to the eye of the typhoon and visit yourself without getting swept away by the typhoon. Various electronic music, including drum and bass are added with lyrical piano melodies to give a trendy and emotional melody. The powerful yet delicate-feeling sound, created by combining rock rhythms, various synths and piano melodies, doubles the atmosphere of a sophisticated song, depicting the beginning, change, still moments of a typhoon.[1]
유주와 엄지가 작사에 참여한, 록(Rock) 리듬 기반의 댄스(Dance) 장르의 곡이다. 태풍 속에 있을 때, 오히려 태풍의 한가운데인 눈으로 들어가 태풍에 휩쓸리지 않고 자신을 찾아간다는 내용을 가사에 담았다. 드럼 앤 베이스(Drum&Bass)를 비롯한 다양한 전자 음악(Electronic Music)에 서정적인 피아노의 선율이 더해져 트렌디하면서도 감성적인 멜로디를 선사한다. 록(Rock) 리듬과 다양한 신스(Synth), 피아노 선율이 모여 만든 강렬하지만 섬세한 느낌의 사운드는 태풍의 시작과 변화, 고요한 순간을 그려내며 세련된 곡의 분위기를 배가시킨다.[2]
