To wrap up the last few hours of #KpopMonday in my time zone, here are some songs that made me think of the #YourGravity theme! (Or anti-gravity, as it may be.)
My third contribution is Round and Round by Heize… because the name sounds like planetary motion? Yes, I’m stretching the theme a lot today, but this is my favourite track from Goblin :borahae_2:
This week's #KPopMonday theme is #ShakeThatBrass. Lots of amazing options so it was tough to narrow down to 3 selections. Still recovering from surgery - it's currently a high pain day and I broke out in stress hives Thursday night so I really look a mess, but I'm managing.
First, we have "Senorita" by (G)I-DLE. It was the title track off their 2nd EP, I Made. The girls drag it a lot, so I've become something of a defender because 1. I genuinely like the song! and 2. I converted many folks into #gidle fans with this song! 🤷🏻♀️ https://youtu.be/2cevbhEqQF4?si=VT6-35e4vifaKmq7
And finally, we visit with the eternal Queens of Summer, Sistar. Others have tried to claim the title since, but these girls remain undefeated. A nice way to bid farewell to summer as we head into fall. "I Swear" https://youtu.be/8PrNPhVexE4?si=AxWhX-ljLlps4vsU
It's not #KpopMonday in my time zone yet, but I have a few favs I want to share so I may as well space them out!
My first choice for the theme of #FlowerShower is this, by one of my first kpop loves, #NFlying! This song pleases my ears in such a good way in general, but also it showcases Hweseung's gorgeous, powerful vocals. I could listen to this chorus on repeat for days.
A song that holds a special place in the hearts of MooMoos. Wheein was going through a really rough patch with her mental health a few years back, and this song gave her peace and healing through those times.
More HyunA! There's a highly underrated song by HyunA called Morning Glory. The video is also adorable. I wish more people knew about this song. I can put it on and just vibe. It's so chill.
When I first heard this I was obsessed. It's so musically interesting and beautiful. And I love the story .. it's about a little dandelion seed flying thru the air on a journey to find new places to make flowers bloom. 🌼
"It’s a new flower where it is / Let’s go far away / Following the pins in the flowers / Let’s go far away when the wind stops"
Another #KPopMonday has come & this week's theme is #FlowerShower. I only have 2 selections this time. (I'm recovering from surgery and some things are going well while some things are not 🙈.)
"Hwaa" by (G)I-DLE, which was the title track off their album, I Burn. The word "hwaa" has a few meanings depending on how it's read (anger, flower, bloom, burn) & the song itself is about a woman moving on from the winter ruins of a relationship to blooming again in spring. I've always loved the instrumental arrangements in this song.
A b-side off I Burn, Minnie wrote & composed "Dahlia." She's been performing it as a solo stage during their current world tour. This vid is from the Seoul stop and taken by Kismet, a Minnie fansite: https://youtu.be/-S6VjB9zVzg?si=Dl0-N3KDYNvS-Lf_
It's #KpopMonday and you know that means it's time to post a Monsta X song. Are we counting English songs by kpop groups? In You Problem our boys #GottaGoToWork in a bowling alley and they look adorable doing it. Also the song is a bop. It's easily one of the top 5 Monsta X English releases.
Hooray for another #KPopMonday .. this week the theme is #GottaGoToWork - songs with work in the title, about working, where the MV is people working.
The obvious first choice is Dr Jin, Namjoon the Military Officer, Yoongi the Firefighter, Racing Car Driver Hobi, Jimin the Office Worker, Detective Taehyung and Police Officer Kookie.
If you think I'm missing an opportunity to post Jimin and his calico cat (and bonus yellow blankie) you really dont know me! Look at him! :blobcatmeltlove: 🤣
