SONG OF THE DAY: BE MINE-2NE1

“So just shut up and be mine.”

I don’t know why but today I’m in the mood of listening "Be Mine" by 2NE1. I was doing some exercises and jogging this morning and suddenly this song jogged on my brain. So when I arrived in my room, this song was the first one I’m searching for. It has been a long time since the last time I listened to this song. Like the first time I heard the melody, this song always sounds so nice.

SONG OF THE DAY: SUN IS SHINING-AXWELL / \ INGROSSO

If you know the feeling of meeting a song that gives you fluttery feeling every time you listen to it, then you know mine right now. I can’t help smiling whenever I listen to this mood-booster song. I mean, I love how this summer-y song had a very sweet message. Don’t forget the fact that it used simple lyrics to convey the song’s emotion yet still sounds so full. I love the part “Can’t you tell I got news for you?”. When we’re ready to listen to the news, we only get extremely nice words afterward. 

I'm surrounded by strong happiness and positive energy, especially in the chorus part. I still can't get over how this song trapped me with a question only to send me to the beautiful words "sun is shining and so are you.". Can’t you tell I got news for you? It’s very important news.

AND YOU CAME MY WAY ON A WINTER’S DAY
SHOUTED LOUDLY COME OUT AND PLAY
CAN’T YOU TELL I GOT A NEWS FOR YOU
SUN IS SHINING AND SO ARE YOU
AND WE’RE GONNA BE ALRIGHT
DRY YOUR TEARS AND HOLD TIGHT
CAN’T YOU TELL I GOT A NEWS FOR YOU
SUN IS SHINING AND SO ARE YOU

SONG OF THE DAY: HAPPY-NE1

Have you ever listened to a happy song but on contrary feel sad? Although this song has a happy vibe--even the title told us so but it’s actually a really sad song.
I always and will always love the contradictive things in YG Entertainment’s songs (where 2NE1 is one of the label's artists). I Love You told us about loving someone who doesn’t care about us at all and ended up hating him—but still love him so much. Sometimes the person you love the most is the person you hate the most—I think it’s cool to have this kind of story in a song. Lonely told us about being lonely even though having someone beside us. And here’s the latest contradictive 2NE1 presented to the listeners: without you, I’m not happy but I hope you’re happy. Although the upbeat melody sounds fun and bright, the story is on the other side. The song even performed in cute choreography, a catchy beat,  and a cool drum sound but actually is about broken-hearted girls. 

SADA BORNEO

Some songs are simply mystical and magical. For me, Sada Borneo is one of them.

My first encounter with Sada Borneo was when I heard their audition for Asia's Got Talent 2015. The relaxing, soothing, and very calm melody of theirs gracefully flowed right to my soul. They mixed traditional and modern music well. Their song was something familiar in my ears--simply like a sound from nature. It’s the sound that brought me to my childhood--to a place with only peacefulness. Sada Borneo’s music touched my heart right in the center. It flew me to an imaginary place where happiness is synonymous with that place.

SONG OF THE DAY: BIG BANG’S LOSER

Have you ever feel after you defended yourself many times, at the end of day, you 're so defeated to the point you have to admit that you’re a total loser?
Big Bang dropped their newest songs called Bae Bae and Loser. Between the two, I’m into Loser more as the melancholy hip hop track was like speaking to me. Bae Bae is a mid-tempo track with cool snares sound and Loser is a ballad with a slow tempo song. While Bae Bae sounds playful-cheerful, Loser has a dark atmosphere and is emotional. I think I can relate to this RnB-with-hip hop-touch song. As soon as I heard this song, I keep singing the lyrics especially the “loser, loner, a coward who pretends to be tough” part that easily stuck in my mind. Big Bang really matured now. Their songs aren’t the fancy, flashy, upbeat songs but songs that tell the reality. The honest and sincere lyrics can touch the listener’s heart and yes Big Bang did it on me.

STANDING EGG

"Keep going, I'm here. I only look at you, please take my hand. I wanna keep going. I'll never let your hand go--not anywhere. I'll go together with you. I wanna keep going," (Keep Going, Standing Egg)

Have I ever told you that I love indie music? I love Homogenic, ERK, and guess what’s next? Standing Egg! To put it simply the indie band provides you easy-listening songs. But if you ask me the reason why  I’m jamming to their tracks then the explanation couldn’t be simple.


However much we describe and explain love, 
When we fall in love we are ashamed of our words. 
Explanation by the tongue makes most things clear, 
But love unexplained is clearer. 

 (Description of Love, Jalaluddin Rumi)

ONE OF A KIND

Yes, Sir, I’m one of a kind….

Out of blue, I want to write this review. Although this album was released 2 years ago, I still listen to it often. G-Dragon dropped his “One of A Kind” album while Big Bang holds a world tour in 2012. Meanwhile, I was jamming to Big Bang’s Alive album, I can’t help moving my heart to Big Bang's leader’s second album. I’ll write my opinion on why I adore this album and the reasons I called this album a masterpiece.

WINNER 2014 S/S


“Just because you’re so-called BigBang’s junior group, people’s expectations are very high. You have to make songs that reach the expectations people have for YG and Winner. You need to be more tired and more uncomfortable and more scared. You can’t achieve success just by being in YG” – YG's advice to Winner

SONG OF THE DAY: EYES, NOSE, LIPS

"They say that time flies
But you keep breakin' its wings"


Taeyang has released his third solo album with the title song "Eyes, Nose, Lips". The ballad R&B song slayed the charts, received the certified all-kill achievement. After winning local's hearts (by won 6 trophies on music shows so far) and of course international recognition (by topped many iTunes charts and joined Billboard 200 chart), YG prepares another surprise: the YG family cover project. Its very first project was Akdong Musician's cover of Eyes, Nose, Lips. A cute interpretation of the heart-wrenching original version. If in the original version, Taeyang showed us a vibe of how painful and empty he is because of the one he loves, Akdong gave us a feeling of first love disaster. The arrangement sticks with Taeyang's but this one is acoustic. Even though it lacks the sorrowful emotion--puts broken pure love feeling instead, Akdong provided us a fresh cover. Soohyun's high pitches are refreshing and Chanhyuk's rap is cool. Simply, the siblings' cover is beautiful.

RISE

“Taeyang is the type whose understanding of music and dance are really deep”- Yang Hyun Suk, YG Ent.’s chairman.

‘The sun’ is rising!

Taeyang means sun. Ever since the first time I’m into Big Bang, I think I knew why YG gave one of the members a stage name “Taeyang”. He is Korea’s best dancer and best R&B singer. And with that name--apart from Big Bang's albums, Taeyang has released 3 solo albums: Hot, Solar, and Rise (LOL, everything is about the sun). He dropped his latest album last night and I stuck listen to those songs on repeat. Waited for 4 years since his last solo album in 2010, the singer of "Only Look at Me" is back with stunning songs.

UNSURE

I haven't acquainted this sort of feeling before
Every time that ordinary man passes by
I hardly ignore his existence
So tell me how to handle the crush

HOLSTEE MANIFESTO

This is your life. Do what you love and do it often.- Holstee Manifesto
Have you ever heard about Holstee Manifesto? Here's the complete version of that famous manifesto:
These words knocked my brain so hard. Who would have thought that words could be this strong. So I decide to spread the manifesto to make more people got inspired, just like what happened to me. I don't need to write any additional explanation. The words explain their powerful message by themselves. Life happens once, do the best. Live is short, do only things we love.

SONG OF THE DAY: I SOLD MY BED BUT NOT MY STEREO--CAPITAL CITIES

If we only have two things and need to sell one of it, which one do we sell? Stereo or bed?
“ Take a seat like a backbeat lover, mixed tapes and cushions on the floor. I sold my bed but not my stereo, I sold my bed but not my stereo.”
Last night, Mbak Ki and I talked about Capital Cities's song. She said, “I sold my bed but not my ipadchu” (she named her iPad ipadchu) and I was lol-ed at her statement. We were busy arguing which one we love more. Then I jokingly said, "If I have to choose, I’d love to save my stereo. Haha". I remember when people had their first salary on handphones, I bought a guitar and a speaker. Whenever I go out more than a day, I miss my speaker (yes. I'm a weirdo). I think I can sleep on the floor but I need to hear better bass and treble. So, I will sell my bed as long as my stereo is still on me. Haha, I'm kidding. I need a good sleep too -__-".  I think Mbak Ki would reject my opinion but she was agreed. She will sell her bed instead of her iPad (where she saved all the music she likes). Normal people don't answer the same way as these weirdos, seriously. LOL.

DEAR MY HUSBAND

Hello my future husband, how do you do?

Should I see you now, I don’t think I’ll be able to say this amount of words. Maybe I’d be too nervous from so much excitement. Been waiting for many things, but this one seems to be the longest one. So I’ll write this down while waiting for the time for us to meet. So, where should I start?

Looking back to the past, never had I reminisce any kind of romance. Even for a "deep affection” kind of feeling to a man, I don’t remember any. This might be awkward, maybe. I’m soooo shy to write or talk anything about my love life. I admit I’ve written quite a lot about love--but believe it or not, those all came wholely from my imagination.

SONG OF THE DAY: UGLY-2NE1

“I’m trying to smile brightly but I don’t like it. I think I’m ugly and nobody wants to love me. Just like her, I wanna be pretty. I wanna be pretty. Don't lie to my face cuz I know I'm ugly“-- Ugly, 2NE1

I just love it. The uptempo track said that beauty standard is so annoying. This song contained ”just another girl” emotion. Feeling when people think you’re so-so: not beautiful, smart, talented, and skilled, but you keep struggling on. But hey, we’re not “just another girls” just because we’re not considered as the pretty ones.

SONGS OF THE DAY: LEE HYORI’S BAD GIRLS & CL’S THE BADDEST FEMALE

“Look at me I’m the best, the baddest female. Something’s different about me, I’m so much faster than you. Sexy represents Lee Hyori. Yeah we classy ladies for show” –  Bad Girls, CL at Hyori x CL collaboration

SONG OF THE DAY: LORDE-ROYALS


“And we’ll never be royals, it's not in our blood. That kind of lux just ain't for us, we crave a different kind of buzz. Let me be your ruler, you can call me queen bee and baby I’ll rule, I’ll rule, let me live that fantasy.”
