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~)

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?)
