Half-year(not) tunes.

I can't believe it's already October! I can't believe it! And I can't believe I've let this blog collect so much dust. Haha, well! Here I am, ready to share with you, what I've been listening to the past 9 months. I'll start with my saying that I will share 5 songs. Five different song that I've been listening to diligently in no particular order.

First up! Eddy Kim - 조화 (造花)



This is my favourite track from Eddy Kim's second EP Sing, Sing Sing. I've always loved his voice and his releases but this one, this really gets me. It makes me feels a lot of different things while listening to this song and I admit, when this song was released, I repeatedly played it everywhere! On my way to work, during work (free period that is!), before bed time, when I wake up and it gets me every single time.

Would you stay with me?
Would you talk to me, for me?
I’m so beautiful.
Would you stay with me?

I’m a living flower, I can breathe,
I’m not lonely,
Yes.

That's just the chorus, and it amazes me so much. You gotta admit Eddy's skills is just too lovely for words, he always amazes me with his release and he never fails to make me fall in love all over again.


Next - Amber - Beautiful.



So, f(x)'s Amber released her very first solo album this year and I'm love her album minus the title track. I love listening to this song the most because it's almost raw but honest. We all need this in our life once, a confirmation, a person to say yeah, why change? You're beautiful no matter what you wear, what you do. I love that she released another video during her birthday for her fans and I'm seriously back to re-listening to this tune.

Those hurtful words deeply cut into my heart
It hurt but I bit my tongue and endured
I know I’m gonna heal and I’m always looking up
Even if it’s dark, I’m gonna find the light
I will smile, I will keep smiling

My third pick is 아이언 (IRON) - blu (Feat. Babylon)




Omg, IRON is my favourite rapper from season 3 of SMTM so obviously when he released this single, I was more than excited but what I like the most was that I am still surprise with everything that he does. His mixtape was really good to listen to but this, this, this(!) was the best thing that ever happened! When this came out, I was still listening to his I AM and 독기 continuously so I was obviously very glad to have a new song out from him that I can listen to. He knows what works, he knows what he should put out and I really honestly don't mind if he doesn't release anything soon because what I really want from him is a full album, full of what he wrote, what he made.

Next is VIXX - 이별공식 (Love Equation)




Oh, VIXX. This year was a 90s kinda year where almost all 90s songs came back to life and VIXX made a remake of R.ef's Love/Farewell Equation. And it was the first since a long timeeee, since VIXX sang a bubbly-happy song. What I love the most about this remake is that it's fresh and new but still maintains a lot of the essence that the song first had. You don't know how much I re-played this song when it first came out. It was like replay and replay for almost every single day, hour and minute.

Last but not least! : VIXX LR - Beautiful LiaR


So, VIXX finally debuted their first sub-unit and you know you can always count on Jelly Fish to do their best with any of their releases. I was so in love with this sub-unit that I didn't realise that this song is actually my second most played song through out the year. I believe Leo and Ravi did an amazing performance with this sub unit. The message, the style, the way they played the concept is something that you would expect from Jelly Fish and more. Obviously if you asked me to rate this song/album, I would probably give it a 4.5/5. I'm also so in love with the music video. I wish I knew how to express how much I am in love with the song and music video but I can never find the right word, expression.

I’m letting go of your tightly held hands
But my heart is still the same
But I’ll let you go
I’m letting go of your hands
But my heart is still the same
I think it’s best for you
if I end it right here

So, that's it for (hopefully not this year) now! till then,

wai.
