toffee!

ah yeah, i think quarentine has given people some opportunity to actually just sit with the person they are, rather than be rushing around for the person they want to become. its good you got smth good out of isolation! ah thats great! hope you had fun and ur partner in crime speeds back home so you can get out more hehe.

ah yeah ty, good suggestions.

hmm good point, i was sort of putting it separate to the whole not-sexualising thing, but yeah. mmm yeah i totally agree, some of the enhypen fics/imagines *shudder* and even reading innie stuff is just a bit *icky* cos everyone still thinks of him as our agi ppang. yeah def would be good but sadly this just seems to be the world we live in. :(

ah yes the holy masterlist (not sarc) i have actually read in the rain and gladius maximus before, but ill go look for in class! oooh thats good! character development lol. hmmmm yes champagne problems was the angst to end all angst, that shit hurt. it was actually one of the first of your fics i read and i recall almost crying over the whole thing, it was so heartbreaking, i can see how it almost made you want to drop angst. good that youve allowed yourself some lee-way tho :)

hehe thats so cool. okay here we go, ill try not to be mortally offended (/hj)

cheese - yes same, i liked it but that was all there was, it wasnt a super standout track. it was rlly underwhelming for me but some of the hook is super catchy so there is Redemption (tm) in store for cheese maybe

thunderous - mmm, yeah at first i totally agreed, i think they suffer from too much good music syndrome, that all their other tracks are such fucking bops its hard to stay at that level of perfection. the choreo was beautiful tho and tbh, the track has grown on me since ive been watching all the vids abt it. its my brothers favourite track

domino - YES GODAMMIT IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE TITLE TRACK. the raps, the vocals, the vibes, the fucking domino sound in the back? i would have streamed that shit on repeat. but tbh, as good as it is, it doesnt have that sort of grandness/oomph that skz seems to like in their title tracks so i can see why they chose thunderous (tho domino would have been so good) *sigh*

ssick - yeah same, not my fave track by a long mile, the crowd cheering was a ?strange? choice and the chorus was a bit bare/empty, plus like i mentioned earlier, it was kinda funny to me for some reason but ill still play it if im playing thru the whole album

the view - ahh one of those not like other girls (/j) i honestly think its just a good party song, just a bop to play in the background when nobodys rlly paying much attention. its pretty generic pop music but catchy

sorry, i love you - hehe yeah i thought it was going to be sadder as well, but i rlly loved the fact that they all just got to sing, which almost never happens, i dont think ive heard felix sing for a long time, so i enjoyed it. wasnt rlly a standout track but i just casually like it. looking forward to the fic haha

silent cry - this song i swear, some bits are rlly good and then others are just? why?? it does sound like a dance song tho idk. definitely not one of my faves either

secret secret - YES its so good! its such a chill song and i love their vocals in it. the combination of lo-fi/fake strings backup stuff and their heavenly vocals just makes it *chefs kiss* im listening to it rn and just... its so beautiful. it gives me pumped up another day vibes ya know? like my pace is edgy get cool, this one is energetic another day i feel like. overall i love it

STAR LOST - ah thats so cool! i didnt know that! on first listen this song had a similar vibe to secret secret but then the beat came in and ahh its such a good song. i can totally imagine them putting this song to a concert footage vid, this song is so sweet.

red lights - LMAO YES ITS SO AWKWARD WHY DOES IT GO ON FOR SO LONG ah thats good! yeah good point, its quite intense hehe. but that is my fave trope and this is lowkey my favourite track on the album so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ just the combination of hyunjins and chans voices, the backing music, the lyrics ahh red lights my beloved

surfin’ - yes lmao its always a shock, i feel like they should have put gone away in between them, but its such a fun cute song, i cant get rlly mad. yeah, as an aussie i think im contractually obligated to like beaches lol. sand im not such a fan of, but my familys rlly into fishing and my brother loves bodyboarding so we stay at a beach house at least twice a year and we live like 5 mins from 3 different beaches (hehe all aussie cities are on the coast lol) so thats cool. do you like beaches?

gone away - ah gone away my beloved, i love this song sm, its just so pure and showcases their vocals and lyrics so well. yes the pitch change is very out of the blue, i feel liek they went directly from seungmins soft vocals to hans powerful ones which was an interesting choice, but hey, im not complaining

wolfgang - YES IKR ah im so happy he got to be included in that era and song. yeah its such a full on song i cant rlly listen to it if im in a quiet mood but its very motivating :)

hehe mood, i hope they do! ahhh no rest, but at least you wont have to pull a blink and wait a year for any word from the group lol. im not rlly into nct but im excited for them! ah hopefully youll be able to sneak some rest into that chaotic schedule, with enhypen (idk if u stan but yeah) squeezed into it haha

<3 w.a. 🐺

i wheezed at partner in crime, it reminded me of smth. i have a lee know fic in the drafts that i wrote 'in honor' of him (and his departure-ish). i'll tag you when i finish it, if you want. it's a rather hilarious one.

oh my god. based on my experience on the collabs i've joined before, writing explicit shit for '01 & '02 is not accepted (nct's maknaes) but with enha's hyung line '01 & '02 somehow it's okay? i do a double take every time i see fics like those i mean, technically, it's legal but still what the fuck. maybe it's just not for me at the moment. not at us venting our frustration about this. it's just something that's so accepted here that i am (in all honesty) slightly uncomfortable about. but oh well. that's kpop writerblr for you.

man i could've linked all the fics in the ask instead so you wouldn't have to go looking for them! i think i saw you like in class the other day (the fic i renamed into sharp-tongued, god it took me a while to remember the new title). describing champagne problems as an angst to end all angst is one way to put what i was feeling back in december. it just hurt to write and admit?? if that ever happened to me i would prolly cry :d

okay back to the album talk! i love how you answered with more thoughts. i love exchanges like these! i am a victim of the cheese hook and it's now one of my favorite tracks in the album. PLS, TOO MUCH GOOD MUSIC SYNDROME. that's on our self-producing kings 😌💅 also, your brother has taste! as i am typing this, domino's currently playing in my head and i realized that too, that it doesn't have that 'vibe' of a skz title track. honestly, this could be a title track of another group. ssick is starting to grown on me because i found the beats cool kdjsk not the not like other girls 😭 the view is the generic pop that i don't like but i get why a lot of people enjoy it. sorry i love you scratches a certain itch that i find myself singing the first few lines every time i remember it. i too would want to hear felix sing more!

> a mini junction on the album talk bc i got side tracked. on that topic, i want skz to switch positions at some point like i know those allrounders are capable of doing so. specifically, i want to hear seungmin rap!!!! (yk in the recent weekly idol he talked faster than changbin in a challenge and changbin is like the fastest rapper in kpop that's active atm if im not mistaken. my dandy boy has some potential and i want it UNLEASHED.)

back to album talk. silent cry is basically sad music to twerk to. secret secret is definitely one of my favorite tracks :( i loved how you compared the tracks HAJSAH i burst out laughing bc yk what, you're right! i want to make a star lost edit of skz but i simply do not have the time i want to cry. i love the song so much. ok, my dreaded track, red lights. idt i have played the track since we last talked. my friend sent me the lyrics tho and i'm itching to write a twisted au out of it. idk if you're comfortable with yandere but somewhere along those themes. the obsessive type of love that's sweet at first but turns rotten. IMAGINE IF THEY PUT GONE AWAY BETWEEN ASHJA it's like going from 50 shades to the notebook.

i was about to ask if you lived near the coast and you literally mentions it here god im so stupid. yes i LOOOOOOOOOVE beaches so much. living in an archipelago is fun :( i live in a part of the country that's more island than city so every time i want some vitamin sea it's accessible. i heard the waves in australia are great :( anYWHOOO gone away :(( every time it plays im compelled to skip it because it makes me sAD AND NOWADAYS I DONT HAVE THE TIME TO BE SAD. contrary to you, i dislike my quiet moods because i tend to overthink a lot.

i have this little analogy about how there are stays that enjoy songs the generic pop + mellow songs and then there are other stays that enjoy the noisy tracks. in my mind, it's like a perfect balance that makes me feel like all the tracks are loved in the end. just by different people.

PULL A BLINK. bro i fucking hate yg entertainment. they have the biggest kpop girl group LOCKED in their basement when they could be (and i mean this in the most business-like way not morally) milking money of the quad. they're yg's biggest hope at not being bankrupt atm so it's a damn fucking mystery to me as to how they aren't doing anything. (jk i just realized lisa solo album soon, but i still need a ot4 cb hELLO)

i stopped looking forward to the teasers. rest > kpop boys. i don't want to sound like a cult member but have you tried checking out nct? are they just not your thing? (i get it tho, that's one hard group to get into). and yes i do stan enhypen!

wow i love how long these asks are! they're like online penpals. but i also want to ask about you! how have you been lately? are you feeling okay both mentally and physically? how's the weather there? do you have anything that you want to talk about? maybe an interesting book you read? feel free to bring up anything you want to share! i'm getting conscious about talking about myself HAJHSJ

and yet another long answer B) i am sooo sorry T___T should these ask exchanges feel draining to you, feel free to stop sending them in AAAA

thoughts on me 😌 jk Okay, thoughts on every solo album from each former member of one direction (but just the ones you wanna do, don’t do anything that makes you uncomfortable 👉🏽👈🏽)

thoughts on ceci: truly iconic i love her. best gifs, edits. funniest person. sweatest heart ever. deserves better. underrated.

i put my thoughts on each solo album under a cut because it got very long (took me 30 mins to write) and sorry i did not proof read i wanna go shower

okay let’s gooo

mind of mine-zayn: i’m gonna be honest, back when it came out i didn’t love it because it wasn’t my music style at all (still isn’t) but i knew it was good. like music can be good even if it’s not my style you know? but i had a few tracks i really loved a lot (for example, it’s you, she, intermission:flower, truth) that i loved a lot. but i have been relistening to the album for the last year and i think it’s really growing on me. but i still dislike pillowtalk, haven’t heard it since it came out, and probably never will again sorry i do not like it

hs1-h: when it came out i listened to it like 1 time, some songs i couldn’t finish, and i honestly don’t remember what they sound like (meet me in the hallway, carolina, only angel, kiwi, ever since new york, woman), the rest (sign of the times, two ghosts, sweet creature, from the dining table) i was like okay, maybe they’ll grow on me, so i listened to them for a while, maybe a month or two, still, they did not grow on me. some of the lyrics are quite sexist imo and make me uncomfortable. then i didn’t listen to them at all, apart for sott since it was played on radios etc. i heard hs1 one last time (not completely, only partly) around july 2018 because i watched a livestream of his last show? but i got bored halfway so didn’t watch it all. it was his only live show i’ve seen videos off. i’ve never heard those two unreleased songs he used to sing live ever (medecine, anna)

flicker-niall: i would like to send a kiss to mr niall james horan i love this album so much!! okay not all songs, but the majority make me feel so warm and i love them!! shout out to this town, seeing blind, paper houses, since we’re alone, flicker, and on my own. i don’t really like on the loose and slow hands, but not because they’re bad, i just can’t relate to them oops. also the orchestra version? amazing, probably the best decision niall has ever done his entire life!!! in conclusion, i love it, what a great opening for his career, iconic, i knew niall would deliver, but, it deserved better.

icarus falls-zayn: thank you king for all this good food i love it. no but really, zayn was like here’s 30 songs enjoy! like wow awesome. ok i don’t love the collabs on it, tbh i don’t listen to them. i like the vibe of the album, the story, the visual videos, etc a lot. it’s a very different feel from mind of mind, very refreshing, i love it a lot. although it’s thirty!!! songs, it leaves me at the edge of my seat asking for more, i can’t wait for his third album. my faves are definitely: let me, natural, common, stand still, flight of the stars, there you are, i don’t mind, satisfaction, entertainer, good years. it has a feel of a 3am drive with a friend, but you’re both not talking and you’re both going nowhere. that sad summer nostalgia. love it, makes me wanna cry.

lp1-liam: i honestly liked liam’s ep, and his singles, a lot better than his album. but he didnt write too many songs on them, it’s a bit weird because i can’t really judge liam’s music from it, since i don’t think it’s completely him. remember and heart meet break are probably my two faves from it.

fine line-h: thank God i have not heard any of those songs, and i hope i never will. i’ve read lyrics of it. very sexist i hate it thanks and can he stop singing about fruit? i like eating fruit he’s ruining it for me

heartbreak weather-niall: okay tbh the teasers were so cute and i was very excited for this album, the whole story concept etc, the colours etc. still to this day idk if i prefer flicker or HW because they’re both really good!! i think in terms of music, you can see a clear evolution from flicker to HW, he improved a lot. but still i love flicker because the songs make me wanna cry. some songs i can’t relate to at all: small talk, arms of a stranger, new angel, etc because niall is horny (which is valid but i’m asexual). but surprisingly i’m addicted to small talk from his live performance... makes me wanna scream i love it. my faves are heartbreak weather, dear patience, everywhere, still. i think still is the best song niall has ever written ever he can’t possibly outshine it it’s too good.

walls-louis: ok i did them all in chronological order but left walls for the end because i just!!!! love it so much i will cry. there are only 2 artists for which i can not skip any songs at all and louis is one of them i’m not exaggerating. any other artists i like (even like, mika) have made some song-mistakes. louis no. never. never has and never will i know it in my heart. walls means so much to me but before i get into that can i just say i love the 4 pre walls songs???? they deserved better rest in peace 2017!lt1. ok so now walls. it is so personal, the lyrics are so so clever, the music is beautiful. my faves are kill my mind, don’t let it break your heart, two of us, we made it, too young, walls, habit, always you, fearless, perfect now, defenceless, only the brave, (and yes i am adding the japan bonus tracks because i am BITTER), just hold on, miss you. yes i did just list the whole album no i do not care you are not allowed to complain about that. this summer at work i was so bored i’d just sit in the sun and sing all of louis’ discography in my head on loop. and i’d listen to walls 1/2 on my way to work and 1/2 on my way back home. the album is so beautiful ceci sorry i am not making sense i am not eloquent at all but it means so much to me i can’t believe his album was delayed so long. i think because it was delayed, maybe the songs aren’t as coherent as in other albums. so let’s think about that for a second. if it’s a bit patchy and this good, what about lt2? it’s gonna be amazing so good he’s gonna kill it he’s just gonna get better and better and better i can’t wait to see it. i’m so thankful that we are allowed to experience louis as an artist, and louis growing as an artist over the years, because he will, and it’s gonna be so beautiful and i’m gonna cry a lot. my description did not do walls justice but know that i love it a lot okay

ask me about my thoughts on stuff 👀

Yaaay!! Thank you Soraya's inbox, sorry i blamed you on eating the last ask😂😘. You did great. Nono, he wasnt a torero, he looked like a prince. (Which is not better bcs i dont like any of those figures but... whatever). Ooh, talking about suits, did you see the ranking hsfashionarchive did of the suits he wore this tour? Bcn was winning, pink suit was second and Mdd was third!! (1)

[I hope this works 😜🙏🏻, bc this was TOO long, jajajaa.]

Ohhh. Your mom is the best. So supportive! Petition to give her that award. She is clearly the winner. (1D clinex? capitalism in its pure state 😂. Did they really made those? Glad i didnt find it on time bcs i would have definitely brought them as a joke to my sister or something). You are already playing Niall’s songs to her? Did she like them? Does she have anything similar to “pikachu get away” she had for SOTT?. (2)

JAJAJAJJA. Netflix always does that to me too. Dont know why. I started watching Black mirror backwards bcs of that. Did you understand anything of chapter 7 os ST? (Did you finish the show??). Yep. The 8th season is the last one, and i dont know hoe to feel about it. Dissapointed by the shows? As in with the ending?? Or how? (3)

You sound like a devoted cat lady, yes. Ooow, i have little cousins too, though they are reaching the age of “too cool to be seen with you, old girl” Of course they make me laugh. Honey is a menace and i appreciate it. JAJAJAJAJAJAJA. He ate the chorizo?? Honeeey!! 😂😂😂 that made me laugh at loud int the train and now my neighbour is looking at me weirdly. I see, you’ll never get bored with him. (4)

When i was younger and + close minded, i didnt like tattos. Considere also that the ones I had saw in real life were the tribal ones, so there’s tgat. But then i grew up and started liking them (you can partially blame larry for that). Nobody in my family (cousins and so) has one, and thats kind of a encouragement, I’d love to piss them, but my dad has threaten me to disinherit me (we dont heven have that, lol) and i dont have any tatto on mind, so i wont do it… maybe in the future, yes. (5)

I MISS LOUIS TOO! I hope he is fine. Resting and so. Im sure that creating the album that will destroy us all takes a lot of effort. (Seriously, where is heeeee?). Heeey!! I wont get bored. Or mad! I have such a great time talking to you. If i dont talk more its bcs of the character limit and bcs im always worried about pressuring or imposing. Dont be dumb. If i dont answer its bcs im busy with finals and so. Nothing more. Promise. (6)

THANK YOU FOR UNDERSTANDING. i know i know. It makes sense and its a smart move, but… i cant stand raeggeton/latino, its not for me. Sad. I havent lost hope though. Maybe ill change my mind later Yeah, i have the same problem with my friends, they only listen to trap and raeggeton and i die everytime. We mostly agree to put something neutral like pop or the radio. (Disney songs never get old😂). (7)

Ay. I just saw that i wrote “heven” instead of “even” and now i want to delete myself. I was walking while writing the asks and i didnt proofread it. I feel so dumb. Anyway, sorry for sending so many asks (today i made a record xd) and, as always, good night!!————————————————————————-Hi!!!! Yes! I saw the ranking. But it isn’t exactly a ranking. It’s more to like chose wants your favorite suit. I did it and guess what? My first choice in the Madrid one, jajajaa. Second the kilt. And third the jumpsuit. Very accurate.

Oh, you’re telling me! My family bought me a bunch of 1D merch (unofficial all): the clinex, a hair brush, a bracelet, 2 books!, one perfume (this I love it, it smells so good), a make up box… I can’t even remember everything. Ah! A birthday card too!! Where they talk when you open it. I always use to wish happy birthday to people (the audio) 🤣🤣🤣🤣. I had to tell them to please stop wasting money on those things. I don’t even know where I have it. And if a can ask, I’d rather they give me the money so I can go to their concerts,jajajaja.EDIT: I can’t believe I forgot the poster!! I have it beside my head right now,jajaja, and I only realized it was there when I looked at the boys to ask for inspiration,😅😅)

Oh, my mom loves Niall’s album too. But I don’t think she “knows” any of the lyrics,jajaja. Though, she knows the hmmmm in This Town. But that’s all. She and my sister, both separately were like: “oh! who’s him??” When they heard Fire Away. And I was like: “ehhhhh, it’s Niall’s album, so guess who’s it?? What, you like it? See, Harry’s not the only one who can sing…” jajajajja. It’s because of comments like this, that they think I don’t like Harry. And I get so offended when they hint at it! Like, of course I like Harry. But I like all of them too!! God!! I love Niall’s album so much (I’m hearing it right now, bc I couldn’t remember what song was the one they liked it so much, and now I can’t stop 😅). Harry’s and Niall’s albums have been lining in my car since they were released. I had Harry’s playing in a loop till I got Niall’s one and I interchanged them. Then Harry’s came back a month or so before his concert. And now it’s time for Niall’s again. (You can’t imagine how hard it’s being writing this with honey laying on my arm!! Jajaja, I can’t barely move my fingers😅).

AND WHAT DID YOU DO WHEN YOU REALIZED YOU WERE WATCHING BLACK MIRROS BACKWARDS??? I’ve watched canter 1 and 2 of ST afterwards, but I hadn’t gotten to watch the whole thing yet. I can’t stand to be looking at a screen for 50minutes without doing anything. And don’t get me wrong, lol, I can be on tumblr for hours, jajaja, but a have to move my hand, and I can go from a blog to another… y'know, jajajajaja. And when I watched chapter 7 of ST i was like, okay… now they have to investigate what happened… or a guessed they would be doing flashbacks… jajajajajaja. Then I realized my mistake and thought I was stupid, 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣“I see you from a different point of view🎶🎶” ( sorry, that’s me singing,jajajaja, Seeing Blind. I LOVE that song)And shows have disappointed me in the sense that they turn out to have an awful ending (seriously, I know you do it for the audience, but end a show how it deserves it, don’t turn it into shit just for a handful of money); or bc they just end it bc they don’t have enough audience. It’s always a matter of audience,jajaja.if they have a lot, they want to explode it. And if they don’t have enough they finish it ASAP. 😒

Honey is a menace, yeh, I couldn’t love him more,jajajaja. He can’t see me petting Liam, he gets jealous and comes to me and headbutt my hand so I pet him too. And Liam is so patient with him. They’re totally like liam and Louis, jajja. Hey! did I tell you the story about when I got Liam? no!! Well, someone gave my dad 4 kitties (they were sooooo small). So, guess their names (it was post March 25, 2015…) yes!! They were named (by me) Louis, Niall, Harry and Liam, jajajajajja. But Harry died a couple of days later, because he was really really young. He couldn’t survive without his mom ☹️. And the other three, my dad took them to a place we have were he has a little garden (?) with vegetables and chickens and proper farm-y, jejeje. I wasn’t too (any) into cats back then, so… Then he brought home one of them, to have our home free of mice. AND IT WAS LIAM!! And I adopted him. I took care of him. We started loving each other. And he became useless with mice, jajaja. He’s totally domesticated now 😝. And that’s his story. The rest? Louis became a big alpha male at their new home. But s car ran him over last summer, and he died 😔. And Niall is a female, jajajajaa. And I hate her. Because she hasn’t been able to keep her kitties alive once!! (She’s pregame again, and we’re praying this time she knows who to be a mom🙏🏻) Ah!! And Honey had siblings the other day!! The guy who gave it to my dad is my brother’s friend and he show him a pic. There are two white cats!! I WANT THEM!!! But they don’t let me have anymore cats! Jajajajaja.

Hey, we might have in common the reason why we started liking tats, jajajjajaa. And, well, to piss off the family is as good a reason as any other,jajajaja. And why are dads like that?? When my sister and I got our lips pierced he went to pick up at the train station and as soon as he saw us he turned around and walked to the car without saying a word,jajajajja. I HAD TOLMY PARENTS WE WOULD BE DOING IT!! I asked my mom:hey mom, if a get a 10 in maths, can I get a piercing?? And she say okay. So I got a 10 (I might cheated or not on this, bc I already knew I had a 10, but wel…), and I got a piercing.my sister only got it, bc I was 16, she had to go with me as an adult, and giving she was already there, she got one too,jajajaja. (My granny almost kill us 😅)

Oh, louis has a BIG responsibility on his hands. He will be killing a lot of people when he puts out his album. He has to chose the proper songs to do it. It will be considered a massive destruction weapon, so he better be careful. But god, for real, when will Louis and Liam release their albums. At this pace, Harry and Niall will be releasing their second one before LiLo has finished their respective tours. And when they finish, Narry will have release their second one, and will be promoting them. So Lilo will start working in their seconds one. And… and… AND ONE DIRECTION WON’T COME BACK EVER BECAUSE THEY CAN FIX A DATE WHERE ALL OF THE BOYS HAVE NOTHING TO DO, AND WHAT WILL I DO??? 😭😭😭😭😭 (sorry, I panicked a bit there,oops).

Uggggg, I can’t stand raeggeton either. I can’t stand the music, argggg. Or the culture of it (the how it treats women, and glorifies sex). I can’t I can’t.and you can’t go out without hearing it. My friends and I went on road trip once. And it was my friend’s car. And she only listens to raeggeton. And after 10, 15, 40? minutes I had to ask her “will this song ever end???” And she told me it was already a different one. And I swear I almost jump out of the car,jajajajaja. We were crossing a bridge, and I wanted to jump out of the car!!!!! I couldn’t listen to that any more!!!!! Ejkbvwirbfeuirnfrvoieefvnv The she caved and we switched to movie’s soundtracks,jajajaja.

Ha! Don’t worry about sending a lot of ask, I learn something, you’ll see,jajajajaa.Also, I forgot to ask early. Is your sister a 1d fan too, then? She goes to concerts and knows the song… how lucky! you have someone to talk about all the gossip!! (And they know what you’re talking about…) or is she a “casual” fan, and doesn’t get into fandom drama? She just likes the music and doesn’t care about their lives?are you both into drama?? God, I don’t discuss drama very much online, but if had someone face to face to talk about it… I would be the happiest person in the world,jajajajaa (what an exaggeration 🙊).

I think this is all. I LOVE ORPUR CONVERSATIONS!! Jajajaja( I hope I did it correctly and all this is under read more, jajaja)Byeeeeee!!!! 😚😚😚😚

Crystal Snow Analysis

this is the analysis for bngtan’s 8th japanese single, Crystal Snow as part of their MIC Drop/DNA/Crystal Snow release.

i will be analysing 2 components - music and lyrics.

disclaimer: this is just my personal opinion, feel free to disagree. i would love to hear your opinions in my ask box.

overall: can i just say how beautiful this song is? honestly, listening to it, it just reminded me of spring day so much, that kind of vibe and atmosphere that i get from it. and the fact that namjoon has contributed to producing this track which again reminded me of spring day and even young forever, the rawness inside.

i read a tweet that said that crystal snow didnt take spring day’s crown but rather both spring day and crystal snow are queen of spring and winter, and honestly, i could never have agreed so much.

its so calming and the lyrics, oh the lyrics. it makes me feel at peace, so thank you bangtan for this song that puts me at ease during december.

music: tbh, i wasn't really sure what to expect of this, normally because i dont really listen to bangtan’s japanese albums but this song however, oh my. the moment i listened to it, it felt like spring day all over again. and the amount of lines that seokjin has this time round, i am so happy, he shone so much in this song.

okay so starting off the song is basically a short music interlude of a piano being played of about 16 seconds with a little bit of synths being used but at the 7th second, another sound was used, but its the one thats building up and kinda dissipates afterwards, so im thinking it might be the cymbals being used, hitting on it then letting it ring etc. yet only at the 9th second did the percussion is finally introduced. i dont know about you, but the percussion sounds a bit like train tracks for some reason - like those sounds you hear when trains are on the tracks kind of thing, but it gives this really calming vibe if you know what i mean.

and then just nice at the 0:16, with the hit of the cymbals, that one clash to signal the entrance of jungkook mhmm, he starts off with line and a short repetition of the last few words at 0:22 and then continuing with another line but dragging the note for about 1-2 seconds until hoseok comes in at 0:32 with his intro of ‘eh’ and the sound of a clap to signal his rap that will start soon. here hoseok raps pretty slow this time round, i mean then again, theres no need to e spitting words especially with the beat that is given, its slow and its too early for him to be spitting words etc. moreover, i like how he takes his time to do his rap etc to me it sounds really peaceful with the piano and the light percussion and then taehyung comes in at 0:42, the beat hasn't changed yet, but at 0L47, you could hear how there is doubling being used, most likely jungkook and taehyung to sing the line but they're singing it a bit faster, which gives a nice contrast to taehyung’s precious line.

but at 0:50, the percussion was removed and a new piano rhythm is being used with the ad-lib ‘yeah’ and jimin comes in!!! notice how everything kinda calmed down now, to complement jimin’s sweet vocals, giving time before taehyung continues with ‘slowly’ yet having some time for jimin to squeeze in an ad-lib ‘oh yeah’ at 1:01. this is a nice contrast to the verses and the chorus that is about to drop at 1:05!!

i like how before the beat actually drops, jimin already starts singing his line, so its like a rest on the 1st count before the beat comes in! but even when the bet came in, its not so forceful, more on percussions and if I'm not wrong, I'm hearing some violins being used in the chorus!! but seokjin’s vocals are finally here at 1:15. i must say, i really like how seokjin kinda bends the note he is singing, particularly, ‘crystal’ yet he is sort of using a bit of falsetto here to get the higher pitch sound and jungkook comes in at 1:21, but notice how a slightly different beat is used, its the same rhythm but less percussion and more on those strings being used until the end of the chorus at 1:41. yet interestingly, after the chorus, a short interlude of the intro is being used before the 3rd verse starts, specifically where the piano sounds can be heard and the synth that is being in volume is being used with the cymbals used at 1:49 to signal the next section of the song with taehyung.

and at taehyung’s part now, the percussion is back in full swing, giving the beat the much needed bass, yet jungkook comes in as well with ‘how can i be closer’ with an ad-lib of ‘ooh’ at 1:54, a nice way to distinguish their timbres of voices and it seems as if jungkook is responding to taehyung in this case. and this kind of effect is repeated again when taehyung takes over and jungkook answers again for the 2nd time till 2:05 and then at 2:06 onwards, its young’s rap!!

okay, interesting is that yoongi’s rap starts straight away, theres no intro, no pause, no ad-lib, but yoongi kinda dives in with his rap with a short drum beat to signal his rap. but yoongi’s rap is a nice contrast to hoseok’s one, because it seems as if he picked up the pace of his rap, fitting more words within the beat ( actually to be honest, i wasn't so sure if this was yoongi rapping because at first listen, it sounded a bit like hoseok, maybe because it was in japanese but until i heard the whole rap, i was like, ah, this is yoongi, from the timbre of his voice in the later part of his rap and the style of the rap ). again, yoongi has a thing for putting a small ad-lib of ‘eh in between his rap, but i like how he ended his rap by dragging the last word of his rap, to kinda pass it on to seokjin in this case at 2:15 which again has a short ‘eh’ before seokjin officially comes in for a brief pre chorus before the chorus drops again at 2:21 with jimin! i like how they made this prechorus shorter than the 1st time round, so it gives the song a bit of variation to be honest.

and again the chorus at 2:24 with jimin to seokjin to jungkook at 2:37. but whats interesting is that when jimin started off, there was no beat at all until maybe 1-2 seconds later with the return of the percussion and strings but at 2:37, specifically at jungkook’s part, the volume of the strings became more louder, the more dominant sound in this case and the percussion taking a backseat. and then taehyung comes in at 2:47 with the same beat as jungkook aka the strings are dominant. but what i like is how taehyung’s last few words, ‘someday’, he drags it longer till 2:56 for namjoon to come in.

but when namjoon comes in, it sort of is the bridge or 4th verse i guess in this case, makes me remember about Butterfly ( HYYH pt. 1 full version when namjoon took the bridge with his rap ). but during his part, the piano is the one that is more dominant, with some synths being used in between to indicate the pauses or breaks in between his lines of rap, sort of like signal markers. namjoon’s rap is pretty laid-back from when he started but he only changed his style of rapping at 3:13 with ‘oh crystal snow, crystal snow’, ensuring he is enunciating his words more ( but do note that before this, he actually had an ad-lib of ‘oh yeah’ before starting this second part of his rap ). the second part of his rap, the piano takes a backseat and the synths become more dominant this time round. then at 3:21, you can hear jungkook for a short while before namjoon comes in again, but this time, his rap is more faster now, and with more adlibs of ‘yeah’ - a really nice contrast between his rap before which was more slow and laid-back.

then it moves on to taehyung at 3:30 straight away with the beat being unchanged, till seokjin comes in at 3:38. but the more important part is that 3:43 till the chorus drops again at 3:48, the synths stopped, and the piano is being played till 3:45 and then it goes silent as this is where seokjin does that high note for some time, the silence being used to emphasise his vocal tone which is a good thing as now seokjin is shining in his vocals more!! then jin comes in again at 3:49 with the strings and that short drum rhythm again.

seokjin comes in again at 4:00 with the beat being unchanged, bending his note so effortlessly, i really love it ( its at 4:02 ) before jungkook comes in at 4:08 to cover the chorus, but before he comes in, there was a short ad-lib of if I'm not wrong, it sounds a bit like jungkook doing some riffs.

but when jungkook comes in at 4:08, it is in sync with the percussion and with seokjin doing those 3 heavenly high notes ( reason being its him is because of the vocal tone, and is definitely not by jimin, kinda reminds me of seokjin more especially if you watched the Wings Tour Korea Edition DVD specifically during the band practice and it was during the free time that seokjin was fooling around and yelling/singing ( Here ) this definitely showed seokjin’s true potential as a vocalist, that he too can do these high notes, hence now bangtan can actually utilise seokjin too, instead of relying on jimin on those high note adlibs especially. so let us all appreciate these 3 high notes that are done so well for seokjin who didn't know much about singing when he entered bighit.

then taehyung comes in at 4:15 to kinda complete the chorus and then the coda starts at 4:25 with jungkook ‘it’s always your, it’s always you’ but what’s nice is that they actually dragged taehyung’s last note of ‘someday’ to harmonise with the beginning of the coda sung by jungkook. personally, i really love this coda, because theres so many opportunities to do adlibs so it is crucial to not overdo them.

taehyung being the first to do an ad-lib at 4:28 and then at 4:35, its jimin’s turn doing an adlib and then at 4:40, jimin took over to sing a line, not the coda though, but he made use of his line to actually even riff off it at a higher pitch, a nice contrast to taehyung’s ad-lib beforehand. and then at 4:44, its jungkook’s famous adlib of ‘ooh’ ( for some reason, i just know its him, this is a common ad-lib for jungkook to do even at concerts especially during the fan song, 둘!셋! towards the end ) and it kinda breaks into a falsetto and then seokjin comes in at 4:49 with his own version of an ad-lib, not so much of riffing this time round. throughout this, the beat remains constant and the same line ‘it’s always you’ is being repeated. then jungkook ends it at 4:56 with the percussion dying down, and its more of chords of a guitar being sounded ( most likely an electric guitar but muffled ) yet jungkook finds an opportunity to still squeeze in an ad-lib at this time to not make the song sound empty towards the end, even at 5:11 and ending it nicely with ‘crystal snow’ at 5:15 with the guitar sound echoing till the song finally ends at 5:17.

lyrics: oh my, looking at the translated lyrics, wow. this song talks about unrequited love. the distant looks, the walls built around one and the one who attempts to tear down those walls.

apparently, according to Billboard , crystal snow is what bangtan compares to love - a beautiful, temporal romance that they hope to hold once more before it disappears ( somehow reminds me of their outro: her, how is there possible to love without any pretence etc, I'm not too sure why )

yet love that was once there, is now fading.

君を抱き締めたい消えてしまう前にもう一度 Ah どこまでも舞い上がる crystal ねぇ何もいらないからもう少しだけ感じてたい Can I touch your heart? 触れたくてもすり抜けていく someday, someday

I want to hold you one more time before you disappear Ah, crystal flies high wherever it goes Hey, there’s nothing else I want, I just want to feel a little more Can I touch your heart？ I want to touch it but it keeps slipping through my fingers, someday, someday

somehow, this talks about how the person they love is being distant, building walls, and slipping away from them, the person who they didnt fall in love with at first

もう二人は遥か遠い一つのはずなのに今では僕らを彩る絵の具など選べやしない黒い息も深い君の白い霧も I feel, I feel, I feel, I feel Oh yeah, oh, crystal snow, crystal snow 真っ白なその中で君が僕を通り過ぎ水になろうと胸でまだ流れてる (奏でてる) 輝くもの全てに映る光る君を見つめてる待ってるさまたどこでも会いたい嘘でも握ってこの手を

The two of us are already far apart Even though we are meant to be together Now we can't choose the paint that colors us Even the black breath Even your thick white fog I feel, I feel, I feel, I feel Oh yeah, oh, crystal snow, crystal snow Inside the white fog Even though you pass through me and turn to water, you are still in my heart (You are in my heart) I watch you shining and reflecting on every single sparkling thing I’ll wait for you no matter where I want to see you, even if you're pretending, please hold this hand

i really love namjoon’s verse, the longing of wanting to wait for someone no matter what, to just be with them even though they dont feel the same way. a pair who was destined has now been distant.

愛する温度が溶け出すメロディ確かな温もりよ永遠に続け

The warmth of love started melting This genuine warmth, please stay forever

the love that first started is now dying, and how they wished it stayed forever but of course, people change, its not always the same.

It’s always you, it’s always you, crystal snow (Let me see your smile, oh baby, eh) It’s always you, it’s always you, crystal snow (Let me feel your love そうどこまでも hoo) It’s always you, it’s always you, crystal snow (Let me feel your love, our crystal snow yeah) It’s always you, it’s always you, crystal snow Oh yeah, crystal snow, oh, oh どこまでも baby (baby), crystal snow

then the coda right here, pay attention to the lyrics in the brackets. you can see the need of the person wanting to feel the love from the other, who doesn't feel it. then again, the love is temporary.

Reference: Billboard ©

last thoughts: i really love how the whole song panned out together with the lyrics, its as beautiful as spring day, and we all know how beautiful spring day is. crystal snow is definitely a sister song to spring day. a song that will touch any listener’s hearts with the vocals and the rap.

a definite listen.

IGNITION (2012): EVERYTHING IN THIS ALBUM BUT THE TITLE TRACK AKA MY HYUNG JUNG JINYOUNG’S FIRST TACKLE ON PRODUCING GEMS. also sandeul has a solo track here TITLED “CRUSH” GO FIND IT NOW.

IGNITION SPECIAL EDITION (2012): “baby goodnight” is so iconic i’m still side-eyeing newer idols who aren’t singing it to the camera while they’re preparing to go to sleep LMAOOOOOOOOO.

LMAO BYE.

GOOD TIMING (2016): “a lie”, undoubtedly quenched BANA’s thirst after one whole year. have you watched “a lie” live on music shows? if the ‘touch my cheek tell me i’m not lying’ isn’t the best point of all dance point then idk what to trust. yes, i’m that supremacist LMAO. “crushing on you again” is so sweet, so very winter season love song aka B1A4’s very own color. they should be dubbed as winter season kings because their releases during fall/winter (in the wind, who am i, good timing) are the be(a)sts. “nightmare” paved the road for winner’s “really really” LMAO i’m joking. but not really. i mean baro and mino are practically brothers. “in dreams” sounds so fucking dreamy, like i said, totally winter season love song. “i’ll find you” makes me long for someone it shall inspire y’all. “together” is the one last song that leaves you wonder if these singing strangers are really worth our money and time and dedication and the answer is YES BECAUSE B1A4 RECORDED THIS SONG WITH KOREAN BANAS. jesus.

okay.

it’s july 2017. my bro baro is acting in a drama now. sandeul, your man, has collab with a starship kid. does it mean we’re going to have another winter season album? i’d say amen.

bonus: this is my fave pic of them.

if you’ve heard of it jinyoung is a composer. he’s well noted by other idols and important people in the industry lmao. he also acts. wow. i don’t follow girl groups, but LMAO THIS SONG? “AT THE SAME PLACE” MADE BY JINYOUNG HELPED B1A4 TO GET MORE RECOGNITION. this time i gotta thank mnet for the opportunity. and for the girls who were so sweet fangirling towards my hyung jung jinyoung.

i cry a lot. but promise this is the last time. i cried watching sandeul’s music video for his solo debut “stay as you are” but y kno it already. help my bro reach 1 million views before a year please.

fun fact: been with them since 2011. never got into shipping business, just here purely for the music and the people. they’re like friends that i’ve known for a long time; we don’t necessarily stay in touch but i always think of them fondly, y feel? i find new friends as i get older every year, yet i’ll always be the first to congratulate them if they reach another milestone in their respective lives y kno? moral of this story: don’t ship for a long lasting stanning TROOLOLOLOLLOLOLO.

this is comprehensive.

i hope i helped.

everyone please have a good weekend.
