Big Bang - If You

Hello!

It is that time again.

I was browsing Youtube, like you do, and this particular song came up in my suggestions. Never heard of it before so I went and had a gander, and where we are!

Big Bang - If You

This song starts off with a very sad melody, which stays consisten throughout the song. The first vocals I believe is T.O.P? Who is the bands rapper. Which I find is very intestesting. Throughout the whole song, there is not a single rap break. This, to me, shows the full emotion of the song as a whole and how important the concept is for them all. T.O.P's vocals aren't perfect harmony, but I find that they portray the emotion very well. Personally, I think he should try and sing more. A lovely deep voice.

All of the other vocals are amazingly emotional, making the listener feel the sorrow and pain in the lyrics. The reason I picked up and wrote about T.O.P's vocals is because it was perfect for starting the song. Creating the melancholy and broken feeling to the song right from the get-go.

This particular video has the English translation. It is quite clear that it is about a break-up or losing someone they loved. I think a lot of us have been there, feeling broken, feeling regret. Doing silly things because we want to mask the pain, like alcohol and such. Luckily, I have never felt the urge to overdose or take drugs after a break up, but that doesn't mean others haven't. Losing someone like that can destroy people. Especially when they start to think on how their relationship was, and they knew they were at fault (to a point, it takes two to tango.) We all blame ourselves to some extent. The video shows each of the boys dealing with this emotional pain, its a very sad song.

Once again, Big Bang have showed their talent and it is amazing. It is very difficult to portray these kind of emotions and not over-do it and make it overly dramatic. All of their voices work harmoniously together and it creates something beautiful, something that touches peoples hearts. Well done to them, keep it up.

Hope you enjoy this song as much as I did!

G-Dragon - Heartbreaker

Howdy!

I have been given another recommendation! Woo!

Let's get down to business!

G-Dragon (GD) - Heartbreaker

This is a good recommendation as I already love this song. It is not the greatest. I know he has done better but this gets stuck in my head, I always sing along and dance away. I am currently dancing along now!

This was his first solo debut so we shall cut him some slack.

This song starts off up-beat and gives the vibe of a song that will make you dance. And it delivers! Considering the lyrics, it is still an upbeat song that gives a happy feel. Obviously, if you understand Korean it is a different story. But if you are after a song that makes you want to dance a little, this is on the list. 

The song is about a break-up or rejection I think that is obvious haha! being called Heartbreaker and all.. Some of the lyrics are "you say you don't like me, what's the reason why?" and it goes on to "you say that I have changed" I think that answers the question!

Interesting outlook on a reason as to why relationships end. This happens often and people demand an answer. "You changed." people will always change, but whether it be for the better or worse, it affects how people feel about you. It is a nice insight. 

GD has a lot of talent, and he shows them quite well in this song and video. I do love his dancing, he needs to do it more. Haha!

I hope you enjoy this song! ^_^

Big Bang - Bang Bang Bang

Hey there!

Another? Yes, two in a row!

I have another recommendation from a friend. I don't remember which one though. They should own up to this one!

Big Bang - Bang Bang Bang

 

 

I remember someone asking me to write about this one, I wasn't sure if he was serious. But here it is! So I was sat here, remembered and decided to put it on. Well. To my surprise, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

 

So much energy in the music and the performance (in the vid) I pretty much started dancing from the get-go. The intro brings in the idea that this is going to make you dance, whether you like it or not. I know that if I heard this in a club or a party I would dance all the way through. Grind against my partying pals- like most ladies do when they are out with a group of friends. haha! I listen to this and imagine people gyrating against each other. An amusing thought, but probably what happens! The music gets you pumped up, ready for action, great gym workout music or partying. Either works!

The video shows a huge amount of energy and great visual effects. I don't really have too much to say on that. lol.

I have no idea what the lyrics are - but who cares right?

I will admit, I have yet to be disappointed by a Big Bang song. New challenge- disappointment me! Mwahaha - or not. Your choice!

Keep the recommendations coming. Hope you enjoy this track as much as I did. I was dancing throughout the whole thing, and now it is stuck in my head. Hurrah!


Hyuna - Bubble Pop

Greetings!

It is that time again!

Hyuna - Bubble Pop

 

 

Where do I start? This song is amazingly fun to listen to. It puts a smile on my face every time I hear it, it also likes getting stuck in my head for days. I have been known to be singing this while at work!

 

This particular artist, I love her choreography more than her vocals. However, in this particular song she shows her vocals off well. Her hip movements are to be envied, personally. Sometimes I wish I could dance like her, just to say I can! Haha!

 

I know a lot of my friends like this song. I can see why, for many different reasons. Beautiful lady singing and gyrating her hips a lot showing a lot of flesh? Haha, I kid! I do think they like this song because its happy, and just makes you want to dance. The video is full of colour and smiles, it also has a slight 90s feel to it. Maybe that is just me though.

 

I also like to sing this song while waiting for my order of bubble tea- I am not sure why.

 

I would like to take a trip into her other songs too someday! She has so many that I love. I will post them in the near future!

 

Hope you enjoy this song as much as I do. Always makes me feel happy and in a dance-y mood!



Big Bang - Loser

Hey there!

I have another recommendation from a friend. Asked personally I might add! hehe.

Okay- ONWARDS!

 

 

Big Bang - Loser

 

 

This song is actually quite interesting to me. From my past experience of listening to Big Bang, they were quite upbeat and love song. This one seems to go in the opposite direction, the imagery on the music video clears that point up nicely.

 

It is a nice sound, in my honest opinion. It is calm, which is what I would expect from a song like this. Quite sorrowful. When you read the lyrics, they are quite...hard hitting. The melody of the song fits the lyrics perfectly as I feel when you are in that state of mind- everything seems slower. A lot of bands put the feeling "loser" or melancholy to hard, fast, thrashing around music as if its anger. It is not, and this gives off the feeling that they are slowly declining into depression - leading to suicide, or wanting to be dead.

 

As much as this song is depression, it is absolutely beautiful - for that reason. It is quite refreshing to hear a band sing a song about these darker feelings instead of happy love is everywhere. There is a huge difference between a song like this and a song about a breakup. Or maybe this is just a song about love/breakup and is just very dramatic. haha!

 

I am so glad I was given this song. It is something I can sit and listen to, thoroughly enjoy. It is a nice, easy listening song. Hope you enjoy it!

BEAST - Breath

Greetings!

I apologise for not posting much lately, I have had a lot of personal stuffs to deal with. But heyho! onwards!

So this is a song my friend linked me a few days ago. This is what I thought of it.

Beast - Breath

 

This starts off a soft melodic tune which gives me a feel of a sad love song or a ballad. Piano is quite powerful in ballads. Then income the powerful vocals of the "ooohhhhh woah!" Then in comes the dance-y bit. Made me think of Daft Punk which is brilliant. Instantly I started dancing in my seat. It has a slight upbeat feel, definitely would get up and dance to this if it came on in a club. The track is overall catchy.

 

The choreography is beautiful in this video. I do find that KPop has great choreography - generally.

 

The powerful vocals keep appearing throughout the track reminding you it is a love song - I think about a breakup, feeling like they cannot breathe without someone - or feeling suffocated. I'm not sure - I don't speak Korean! It still has the love song element in it, especially when it goes to the violin style synthesiser. The songs ends the way it started, soft yet emotional piano music.

 

Overall - I love this song. It is quite beautiful. Lyrics, melody and choreography.

 

10/10!

 

Hope you enjoy this! ^__^
