Another reason why "Life's Too Short" by aespa is great

What’s the first reason?

Quote from superyeah

The first reason is that it's a cute song with meaningful lyrics. It's a different type of diss track that still has a warm and cozy feel to it. They switch back and forth between talking to the haters and reminding themselves what's important. That's really cool.

I believe someone mentioned in the Coachella discussion thread it sounds like a song for when you have campfire with friends.

That’s cool, thanks for sharing. I have to look up the lyrics then. But I noticed it seems to be an English song, right?

I'm afraid I'll have to give it a few more listens to decide.

which one?

I especially enjoyed the part when Karina got loud after the bridge. Tell em!

super-yeah literally, I like the song the first time I heard it. Also it's fitting what they're going through right now

I was just reading the lyrics that superyeah posted and I'm really liking the lyrics and the message

I like it enough I guess but I'll wait for the studio/official version

good luck and may the odds be FOREVER in your favour

TLC is US-girl group canon, especially when it comes to crossover R'N'B/Pop. I heard of Atomic Kitten but not much of their music or people talking about them in my area.

I'm indifferent about the performance version of the song right now. I have to hear what the studio version sounds like among the other songs on the upcoming album.

I mentioned in a post that SME should draw inspiration specifically from the 2000's-forward for some Aespa material because Red Velvet has already taken great care of the 90's (examples:"Bad Boy", "Time Slip", "One of These Nights (De-Capo Version)". SHINee, EXO, and NCT have 90's inspired songs and throwbacks. Somebody has to do something different.

To my ear, sounds like some *Reggae guitar is "M.I.A." in the chorus. It would feel better than looping that same acoustic guitar riff throughout the majority of the song.

*Song References

KARD - Ah Ee Yah

Carrie Underwood - One Way Ticket

Jason Mraz - I'm Yours

You always drop wisdom and knowledge!

It definitely does have reggae influence, especially during the chorus! The end of these lines, particularly:

"Why would I ever stop?"

"Any way that I want"

"If you like it or not"

The way they sing "stop," "want," and "not" has that going on.

Imagine if aespa had The Band Six, who worked with BLACKPINK, 2NE1, BIGBANG, and iKON, as their live band. The reggae guitar would be amazing.

That idea sounds practical, but working with Six is only going to look like SME's is really on YGE's areolas..something people have already claimed on SME.

SME has to "go their own way" in order to carve a legit lane for Aespa. The tweak that feels good to me, for the chorus, is take the first 4 counts of the guitar loop during the verse, but hit a Reggae lick like in the KARD track to make it a variation...something I don't recall SME being masterful or mindful of in their production.

They should still def. open, close, and play the full guitar loop after the peak of the song though. For what it is worth, it does feel contemplative. Doing a variation in the chorus makes it shift from contemplative to a feeling of joy. Like somebody's trying to "rain on your parade" but you keep your sun shining..like during a sunshower!
