Rant&Rave


I'll be raving about a song by
HA:TFELT feat. GAEKO
' I wander '   is a deep self reflection/growth song, I would say it's an mid tempo electric genre of music (I don't know how to distinguish genre of tone maybe it's soft rock, do let me know when you listen to it)

 An aside I watched the music video for the first time today I had the song since '18 or so. It wasn't what I expected but it was reflective. Ha:tfelt also known as ye-eun was a member of WONDER GIRLS (A girl group) before she went solo. 

 The Hangul title of the song isμƒˆμ‹ λ°œ ( new shoes).

 When I first read the lyrics it was relatable you know? The term ' new shoes ' was like a metaphor for new beginnings/stages of life/growth, trying something new.

 The second verse reflects on the YORUBA proverb ' twenty children can not play together for twenty years ' sometimes our peers might be ahead of us or vice versa, people change and life happens.

 The video was filmed on the streets of a foreign country.

I bought new shoes
It looks good but it’s still a little awkward
I need to break them in
Even before I walk, I’m worried about my heels
Where will I go? Where will it take me?
Half fear, half excitement
Even if it’s only downhill after this uphill
I’m still so curious

I’ll walk then stop then run
Then I’ll stand there

ENGLISH
I left and went somewhere
My friends who walked with me
They’re walking slowly
Next to someone else too
Making paths where there are no paths
I’m tying my shoelaces

ENGLISH
Birds fly in between buildings
To follow the stars
I’ve lived so crazily
Even my shadow is tired
I calculated how much I worked today
Then I missed what was important
How much did we rest today?
It proves how our lives are not favorable
My sneakers are worn out and crumpled
But why can’t I throw them out?
Comfort, comfort, comfort, comfort
The word comfort in this city
Is only a word for those who are rising
What I need is comfort
Nothing is of value in sadness
They only bet on happiness
I’m only human after all
Before I sleep, with opened eyes
I pray for myself
Hoping that tomorrow will be brighter
So I can get some light
Wherever my new shoes take me

While I was watching Korean dramas

OH MY BABY I haven't seen any content on K-drama from this perspective ,so I decided to write a little son-thing on it. Not again!! right? * Shrugs * it's just my two cents: While i was watching Korean dramas and getting into it, I was always curious about what people thoughts/opinions were on Korean. When I ask guys about Korean dramas,they mention or prefer Historical dramas with sword fights,action and special effects (CGI). MOONLOVERS If you ask me I'd say I prefer modern day dramas as they are more relatable,yah know?I do watch Historical dramas too, but they mostly end in tragedy leaving an after (bitter)taste in my memory..... MOONLIGHT DRAWN BY CLOUDS As for the gyals we love visuals so Lee min ho's a fav(though some people still call him Gu Jun pyo from BOYS OVER FLOWERS after 10years). LEE MIN HO Well others don't like it cause it's not in English (voice over) and it has written subtitles. That's the beauty of watching...
