So Jaejoong just released his title song “I AM U”

Reminds me of when he named his repackaged album “Y” ONLY LOVE 😂❤️

Well I might believe this was just for his fans if not for the “U” title lol. His full album “Flower Garden” releases on June 26th to commemorate the 20th anniversary.

Anyway take a look at the lyrics. It seems like he was reminiscing a lot about the past and his journey. All the CAPS are songs of his or TVXQ or covers he’s sung (I’m sure every yunjae shipper knows “For You”)

But yes, Jaejoong wrote the lyrics himself.

Would love to know your thoughts. Even the Butterfly lyrics were very Yunho, and Sunny day too but that one was sad ;; so many of these songs bring up memories for me. Of course it can be for fans too, it can be both.

(Lyrics are an unofficial translation)

i can’t believe this will just be me rambling about ONE song but the reason why i love classical sm is for the way it can literally tell you a narrative and evoke a whole spectrum of emotions with absolutely no words. like it is such a beautiful thing to convey stories purely told from the compositions and interplay of instruments.

i’m not a musical expert or a musician but when i can hear a story being told i get so caught up in it and i’m outing myself as a silly goose but it’s such a visceral experience for me (which is why i sometimes tear up when i’m listening to live performances sskjhahwkajwja). anyway the point of me saying all this is that there is a specific song i always associate with ryucifer because it kind of sets the tone for our dynamic and lore. scratches head i don’t have a lot of om mutuals or know who is willing to read something this long-winded about a single song from a specific genre but honestly that’s okay. if i didn’t get this piece of lore out of my system i would’ve imploded. so read only if you want to!

i’d like to think this song mirrors how lucifer and i interact with each other from the moment we meet to the day we accept our feelings for one another. he obviously isn’t my enemy but in the beginning, as i settle at the HoL, he’s clearly wary of me despite his brothers accepting me. lucifer remains polite and guarded, but he keeps his distance - almost like he’s waiting for me to prove myself. either as trustworthy or as trouble. and i think this dynamic is captured at the start of the song with its gentle and innocent melody.

i’ve decided to adopt this scene from early og game where he asks mc for a dance at diavolo’s castle and use it for ryucifer lore. i can’t actually remember how the canon scene went but basically for ryucifer, on the surface, the dance comes across like a formal gesture however as we move across the floor, the mood shifts entirely much like how the song does at 0:25-0:28 (it’s actually my fave part of the song). what starts off as light becomes much darker and that’s exactly how the scene unfolds. yeah so lucifer asks me to dance, and i assume it’s a gesture of good faith. then i realise it’s anything but. he actually uses the dance as a cover to deliver a threat: that he’s watching me and if i bring harm to his brothers, there’ll be consequences.

the tension peaks at the end of the dance when he squeezes my hand tight enough to make me wince and pull it away. he gives me a smile that doesn’t quite mask the threat in his eyes and walks away like nothing abnormal has transpired. i’m not afraid of him but i don’t know how to react, and i’m ultimately left feeling off balanced bc wtf. and ouch? it was unsettling (and i hate to say it) but strangely compelling.

as the song progresses, it becomes gentler, like how lucifer’s walls start to come down over time. they don’t disappear entirely because he’ll always be lucifer but they soften in ways that are almost imperceptible unless you’re paying close attention. the suspicion gives way to a grudging respect, then to affection that neither of us fully acknowledges at first. this slow unraveling of his defenses matches the song’s progression since the darker undertones fade and the melody grows warmer and more open

and pardon me if i’m using the wrong term but the crescendo around 2:20 is like a culmination of everything. as if this part of the song reflects the moment we finally accept what’s between us. it’s lush and expansive. it’s not rushed or sudden, like our love. and by that point we’ve stopped fighting against whatever is pulling us together and have decided to let it flow naturally. our relationship still feels like a literal and figurative dance (and since we both love classical, it always will) but it no longer feels like a battle or an act of wariness. instead it’s fluid and full of trust. we are moving in sync and learning to rely on each other <3

so yeah, the title of the song fits the story it’s trying to tell because if i imagined this whole scenario then the composer is definitely doing something right!!!!! thanks for reading my essay? analysis? word vomit??? whatever this is lmfaooooo thank you for making it this far :o)

Is "Too Sweet" a Houlihawk song? Discuss.

Heya, so this song is called "It Could Be Better" I think is one of my most vulnerable songs I ever wrote. It's about being in love with somebody that chose living a lie rather than being with you and be happy.

The song is like a subtle scream of "you can tell everyone you are happy, you can love up to someone else's expectations, but deep down you know that things could be better than this."

Hope you enjoy the song! It's gonna be in my debut album and I hope you help me make my dream come true!

Found this music box cover for Your Flame and got sO upset thinking of Sonic singing an acoustic version of it while having a moment for himself during his time on Starfall Islands, only to eventually get surrounded by chittering curious audience of kocos

[slow-media]

do you ever just

like,

write an album

i mean even if you know nobody will ever hear the symphony you've created does anybody else do that type of stuff

[femmeterypolka]

using you by mars argo is kind of a high-femme self-loathing anthem if you think about it

[clehame]

at the library & my roommate has been silently working on something on his phone for like half an hour and he just airdropped me THIS

[oyunjae]

For @wardog-of-the-endless who wanted a mix “for science” lol I’ll try to get a better one someday. Yunho’s NWL melody with Jaejoong’s All Alone ahhh love the chorus <3

Lyrics to both songs ^ (Jaejoong and Yunho both wrote their own) Yunho’s was released 1 year after JJ’s in the beginning of 2014

Overstimulation

Overstimulation

Sometimes, between the tinnitus, kid noise, generalized anxiety, and medication... you just got to take a shower, listen to the Norwegian Rain Suite by David Lanz on loop mode, and paint for a few hours.

There's something I totally haven't talked about in this blog in a while, and since I have many new people following me recently (which I'm super happy and grateful for 😊✨ Thank you!), I thought I should share!

Ok. I'm just super bad at self-promoting, because I'm an introverted and shy person (and it's also embarrassing for me to self-promote; the least I want is to seem annoying or pretentious or something 🥲🙈).

But yes, here it goes:

I have a new song out since July! My song is called "The Songstress" and it is the first song I ever produce all by myself. You can listen to it on YouTube in this link for free if you like. Or if you want to support me some more you can stream it on Spotify or other streaming platforms (it's on Amazon, iTunes, Apple Music, and many others, since I used DistroKid as a distributor). Or just subscribe to my YouTube channel because it also helps the algorithm with visibility.

I hope you like my song! Next song was going to be out in October. Let's see if I can get it finished by the end of the month. If not, next month. It will be titled "Scarecrow". I just have to get it mixed and mastered, but the song is complete now.
