How to convey that which is impossible to describe. // the highest form of prayer

The Astronaut (“singlation”)

You and me, a neverending history
You’re the universe that holds the world to me

Like a shooting star without a home to call its own
I was aimless, drifting, falling on my own
Every dream I found in the darkness around me
Was written into our story

When I’m with you
There is no one else
And I get heaven to myself
When I’m with you
There is no one else
I feel this way I’ve never felt

You and me, like a star that’s never unshining
I want to be your dream, to travel your world within

Just like the Milky Way is a road of silver in the sky
You were shining like that, there before my eyes
The only light I found in the darkness around me
Towards that path of you and me

When I’m with you
There is no one else
And I get heaven to myself
When I’m with you
There is no one else
I feel this way I’ve never felt

I feel this way I’ve never felt
(Oh~)

When I’m with you
There is no one else
And I get heaven to myself
When I’m with you
There is no one else

A life
A sparkle in your eyes
Heaven coming through

And I love you
And I love you

(Oh~)

a release for my birthday!

The only other musicians who have done that have been BUMP…who I really got into the same time as BTS, as you’d have it…aahh, synchronicities. ♥

Kim Taehyung has the most versatile honey voice in all of kpop. I will die on this hill, and if you dispute this, you will very sadly be wrong. I don’t make the rules!

(This also hits where it hurts, but shhh. Not on this blog~)

Sigh. I miss them all so much. Even if the fandom isn’t half of what it was at their “peak”, I can’t wait to have them back. It might even be nice to be the underdog fandom once again. 2018 was so magical.

Regarding peaks, no. I don’t think they’ve reached it, yet, and I don’t think their biggest successes have necessarily been the boys at their best, either — not that they’ve ever been lacking remotely, mind you! — but as they tell us — the best is yet to come. After they’ve finished their service, nothing would make me happier than to have them all feel like they can flourish freely in their own chosen spheres of music and artistry, and when they come together as a unit again, I want to hear what each individual member brings to the group. Because it will be, doubtlessly, spectacular. I can’t wait to hear it.

네 온기 잊지 않아
겨울의 꽃이 되어 춤추는 별이 되어
I will be by your side
피어나길 바래

I will wait for you.
I am always with you, too.

endless chasing

song of the day: “Closer”, RM (w/ Paul Blanco and Mahalia). very chill and smooth shade of blue off of his latest, Indigo, which i’m finally getting around to listening to. first thoughts? it’s not as instant a love as mono. was for me, but it’s damn good all the same. i know joonie said it was “10 Blues” in the liner notes & box art, but really, it’s a much wider palette than his previous record, and has a kind of…tanginess? (synæsthesia is gonna be the death of me)…that was present in RM, but isn’t exactly the same kind of taste, as such, either. love love love to hear his singing voice, too, which only improves the more and more he uses it ♥ (don’t be afraid of singing, you beautiful coffee-smooth baritone, you!)

tonight I don’t wanna be sober

i’m finally in an okay enough headspace to listen to kpop that isn’t only very recent MAMAMOO tracks (long story, i might explain in a separate entry) and i’m digging into Mochimin’s first solo offering, “FACE”, and…i’m only up to “Like Crazy” and my jaw’s already on the fwcking floor. there is so much…like…jagged, black-silk-elegance to it? it’s like throwing back a shot of the most expensive vodka you’ve ever had, and then walking out into the city night with your jaw set. i just. holy shit, Jiminie. holy shit. it’s like…”Lie” from Wings seen through a black glass. and yes, my synaesthesia is going mad right now.

(also, i’ll say it: Park Jimin has a very strange voice. does this mean it isn’t astonishingly holographically beautiful? not even. not even one bit.)

SONG OF THE DAY CATCHUP POST OF MANY SONGS

20 December:
“Agust D”, Agust D
Suga’s mixtape fucking slays, just so you all know. And you have no idea how much I love the line “sending you all to Hong Kong with my tongue technology”. I’ll leave it up to you to Google what ‘sending someone to Hong Kong’ means in Korean. Wink wink.

TODAY, FINALLY:
“So Far Away”, Agust D feat. Suran
Yes, again, but important. Never thought an Agust D track would have me bawling my eyes out, but there you go. Goddamnit, Suga, all you do lately is make me cry! (Fucking hell, Min Yoongi. You keep this up and you’ll be my…bias bias wrecker? Second bias wrecker? Can you even have a second bias wrecker?)
