Possibly.

It triggered my senses to think about this deeply.

I think different people have different preferences. That's what I get from this tweet.

Also, These days, I have been reading a lot of lyrics, I don't know why, guess something triggered my senses again.

Quote from novemberrain

I really love the sudden rap break

One of the best

As you should.

Quote from novemberrain

Let me copy paste my old thread

The lyrics are worth to appreciate as well

Baby don't cry has another official name actually which is The Mermaid's Tears

It is inspired by Hans Christian Anderon's 'The little mermaid', the story of a little mermaid who falls in love with a human and wants to be a human and have an eternal soul humans have. In order to gain soul she has to win the prince's heart but she fails as the prince marries another princess. If the mermaid kills him with the dagger before dawn breaks she can become a mermaid again and return to her home but she can not bring herself to kill him. So she just throws herself to the sea and dissolves into foam...

And baby don't cry's lyrics are written from Prince's or someone who loves Little Mermaid's perspective.

Don’t hesitate anymore please

Take away my heart

Yes, the sharper it is, the better

Even the moonlight shut its eyes tonight

Baby don’t cry tonight

After the darkness passes

Baby don’t cry tonight

It will become as if it never happened

You're not the one who will disappear into foam

Something you should have never known

So baby don't cry, cry

My love will protect you

Wow. I almost forgot it lol.

novemberrain Another one

FOR THIS NEW SERIES OF THREADS, I WILL APPRECIATE THE THING THAT SHOULD BE THE MOST TALKED ABOUT BUT IT ISN'T, MUSIC ITSELF.

#3 Emotion

Emotion, as you all know, can be conveyed through either lyrics, singing, rapping, even just by instrumental.

However, It also depends upon the listener as well.

Today, I will appreciate the level of emotion EXO songs have and how it can move people even if they don't know the language they are singing/rapping.

EXO had 3 Main Vocalists :- ChenBaekSoo

4 Lead Vocalists :- Suho, Kai, Lay, Xiumin

2 Rappers :- Chanyeol and Sehun

We'll talk about Vocalists in this post, EXO has the best Vocal Line in KPOP, and THIS IS OBJECTIVE . By vocal line, I mean, including the lead vocalists, which strengthens this department even more.

Throughout their discography, EXO has done different type of ballads (Typically songs where their vocals are at the forefront of all things, Very minimal instrumental)

I will be sharing 2 such examples with live performances :-

This song is special. Well, Every EXO song is, but you get the idea.

Starting with simple piano, There is no percussion in the track whatsoever which makes this even more intimate and emotional.

The melody is very heart wrenching. The way chords are played along with the harmonies, I get the feeling, they realize that THIS PERSON is their answer.

Highlights :- When D.O sings "My Love" followed by Baekhyun's soaring declaration, it's perfect.

It's sad. It's also a bit romantic.

Another song I really like

A clear fan favorite. Simple yet elegant.

I was surprised when Chanyeol started rapping, it was unexpected and it worked well.

Also got a slight R&B influence. A must listen.

Oh this btch is done for. I hope they get her. I don't care, you don't disrespect someone who has passed away.

Quote from pearl-i

Wah, looking forward to it

Yup yup

Quote from Kireta

I think you summed it up nicely, had the song been released by someone else it wouldnt have been the same, only exo could pull off something like this. this is why producers always praise exo for carrying out their songs well.

Adrian Mckinnon did a great job.

Lol

Quote from haesoovoiceship

Agree

Pop also suits him well

But I hope he tries different genres in his album to not be repetitive

Oh yeah

Quote from haesoovoiceship

I'm not ready for fanwars

Kyungsoo voice is pretty and amazing, he can pull off any genre

I want him to do pop-rock or pop-funk type of music. Baekhyun and Kai already did R&B.

Y'all are not ready. He is coming for everyone's necks.

Y'all are going to HELL!!!!

Spoiler:-

It's edited. It's actually a song from the movie The Greatest Showman.

Lay held Best selling solo album for 3 consecutive years until Baekhyun broke the record.

Lay's "Lose Control" sold around 277K+.

Interesting thing is, Lay's EP was fully in Chinese yet he broke the record for best selling solo album in Korea for 3rd Gen

Quote from Minazuki

Love this song and the lowkey Alice In Wonderland Concept

Definitely. I didn't see the Alice in Wonderland concept lol

Quote from soshilovelife

I love this song, it is iconic, just like EXO. And yes keep doing this kind of threads. Good work.

Thanks.

Quote from Minazuki

One of the most unique K-pop songs I've ever heard

Definitely. The funny thing is, It has all the elements that can make a generic song but the way they used it, they created a certified masterpiece

Quote from NightChamp

The bridge is my favorite part of the song

Junmyeon is a bridge constructor indeed

He is.

Quote from novemberrain

Great idea

Thanks.
