2. Nothingness

Hard days to give
More than a smile to ease the pain
The loneliness, the rain
Don't think of me as a chord in chains
It's me and it's the way I live
Deep in my heart I know that it's true
Though we're apart and though I've been hurting you
Nothingness would be my life without you

There'll come a time
When I'll be back again to stay
Forever and a day
Oh love be sure I'll find my way
Back to the one I left behind
If you were gone what would I be
If there'd be no one, if you wouldn't wait for me
Nothingness would be my life without you

How would I feel
How could I live another day

"Phantom Of The Night"('78)과 함께 카약의 양대 앨범으로 평가받고 있는 본 앨범은 특히 카약 사운드의 응집력이 농축되어 있는 아름다운 앨범이다. "Ballad For A Lost Friend"와 "Nothingness"는 음악세계의 오랜 애청곡. 본 앨범 이후 베이시스트를 톤의 동생인 피터로, 백그라운드 보컬리스트를 부인인 아이린으로 교체하는 등 페밀리 비즈니스로 만들어진 앨범이 "Phantom Of The Night"이었는데 다행히 음악성은 변치않고 아름다웠다. (전영혁의 음악세계 Booklet Vol. 4)
