The Unforgetable Flood
Though I have tried to block you off my mind,
There are too many visual reminders,
Our pictures, our texts,
Whom act like keys,
Unlock all the out-of-bounds memories,
Bursting them through the dams that
I had painstakingly built,
Reminding me of the few lettered words that used to
Sum all of us up
Into a single unit of hope,
Like one heart beat,
Contractions and relaxations complementing one another
So harmonious like iib Ic V 1
which even Mozart was so fond of
But the flood of memories rushes by
The impact that hit me is no longer felt
against my numb body
I turn a round
All three hundred and sixty degrees
and realise I am alone
You are all gone
And my eyes start to flood up
Again
And it bursts through the dams of my eyelashes.

Infinite H's "Pretty" 예뻐
Hello Everyone~~
Today, I am commenting on Infinite H's "Pretty", which has been out for about a week now.
For many Inspirits, it has been a pretty tough wait since it has been years since their previous album, Fly High came out.
When I heard Infinite H was having a comeback, I was pretty excited too since their previous album Fly High was a pretty huge hit with "Special Girl" and "Without You" and I really liked that still preseved trendy 80s sound in their songs. In fact, I think tht is what separates Infinite with other Kpop groups; they just have a distinctly unique vibe to their songs.
As always, while Infinite sings pop songs, Infinite H had a distinct catchy hip hop sound as well as great dance moves. What differentiated "Pretty" from "Without You" and "Special Girl" was probably the comical story plot in the Music Video. Whereas the previous Infinite H songs were reflecting more emotions of the duo more seriously, in the MV, you see the duo having a lot of fun.
So here is how the plot of the MV goes: Dongwoo is a defendant and Hoya the prosecutor they are in court. A woman was convicted for causing many accidents. When the convict enters the court, the two guys fawns over her. In the end, the woman is deemed as innocent. However, she just leaves the court, leaving a broken hearted Dongwoo and Hoya behind since they kind of had fallen in love with her.
The lyrics though, is quite far off from the comical storyline of the MV. The lyrics are quite sentimal in expressing how a guy likes a girl to the point where he hates it when she looks away.
The style of the of the clothes and sets are very vibrant in colour. Such vibrant colours is a stark contrast to Infinite, who mostly has very dark concepts (except for Man In Love and Nothing's Over which had pastel colours) and mostly have very dark colours for their set.
I like how the melody of the chorus just blends in very nicely with the rap. Although they are rappers, the YaDong duo obviously can sing very well. The rappers of Infinite are really multi-talented, for they also took part in the lyrics writing of all the songs in the album.
The dance is also really awesomely choreographed and it shows off the charisma of the members really well. I also like how during the raps, the member that is rapping gets all the camera's focus but during the chorus the limelight is shared evenly by both members. On the whole, there seems to be quite an even distribution of lines for no one seems to have more lines than the other.
I have always quite liked Infinite so I did check out the rest of the album.. Although "Pretty" is considered a rather light-hearted and playful in nature, the album does have a few intense songs such as "Sorry I am Busy", which I am also liking very much. The album contains songs with sentimental lyrics that I believe many would love since Dongwoo and Hoya have taken part in the lyrics writing.
Anyways, I shall end my post here. Once again, it wasn't easy for me to sit myself down to type a post so haha *pats myself the back*.
Hope you had enjoyed reading my post. Thankyou for reading and until next time~~~ Annyeong~

Lovelyz' s Candy Jelly Love
Hello everyone!
Well, remembered how I mentioned that I might do some posts on one or two k-Pop songs I like? Well, to be honest, there have been quite a lot that i want to mention but I have always never managed to come up with a satisfying commentary to upload so there are a lot of drafts rotting in my account here (hehehehehehehe~)
In any case, today I finally grilled myself to talk about Lovelyz's debut song, Candy Jelly Love, which I have been loving.
To be honest, this song was not something I was expecting. Having listened quite a lot to Infinite, who is also under Woollim Entertainment. I would have expected a strong debut from Lovelyz. Hence, Lovelyz's sweet high school girls-like concept was a stark contrast to my expectations.
To be honest I am not a huge fan of cute songs. I am more of a ballad pop type of person hence i did not love Candy Jelly Love at first play but strangely, I grew to love it. It has been a while since such refreshing sort of song has appeared in the kpop scene.
The melodic line is catchy and sweet, matching the equally sweet vocals of the members. The overall feel of the song is light and girly. There is also a hint of the 80syn feel to it (just like Infinite songs!!) , without making the song sound tacky, but instead, bringing it a very unique trendy sort of sound and vibe to it.
Cute concepts as such has been long forgotten for quite a while, especially the high school concept so it was a surprise to see it being used and that definitely caught my eyes when I first watched the mv.
The choreography of the piece is also very well done. It is subtly girly and sweet without looking too deliberate upon it.
I also listened to the other songs in the album (the LBUM IS CALLED "Girls' Invasion") since I was curious to hear all the vocals of the members. The album was generally filled with very light heartening songs. I was in quite a bad mood yesterday but felt happier instantaneously when I listened to it. The vocals of the members appears to be great however, I think Baby Soul's strong and powerful vocals appealed most to me (bias revealed hahahaha~~~). However, all the vocalists in the group sound great!
No doubt, I would probably listen to Lovelyz's future songs too since I have grown to like their music style(and I love their vocal).
Okay, I shall end my post here (Charlyn, you have done well typing all the way to the end *pats myself on the back*)
Hope you guys stay well till my next postttt~~ <3
