„Stay with me 어느 순간에도

같은 빛 같은 그림자 되어

어느 곳에서도 너를 안고”

Stay with me, no matter in what moment

Let's become the same light, the same shadow

In whatever place, I'll hold you

AT LONG LAST, JAE IS DELIVERING ON HIS PROMISE TO THE WORLD

my in-depth ranking of seventeen's face the sun album is below the cut. a tell-all about my opinions on their discography as a whole will be hitting you later tonight. if you would like me to rank any other albums by any k-pop artist, please do slide into my ask box, i would be more than happy to yap!

9. darl+ing: i have nothing against this song, honestly it's objectively one of the better all english tracks by seventeen and the industry as a whole from a lyrical perspective. the music video is beautiful and i am very happy that the line distribution is more even than most. however, compared to the rest of the album, it doesn't do a whole lot for me. i no longer skip it when it comes on and i love to sing along to it, though.

8. IF you leave me: i am commonly biased against slower songs like this regardless of what language they're in when compared to more uptempo tracks in an artist's discography. this is simply because it is rarer for me to be in the mood to solely listen to these types of songs. as a standalone number, i love it. it brings a tear to my eye. i particularly love the call and response between mingyu and vernon as well as everything wonwoo and s.coups do throughout the song.

7. domino: this song is the epitome of shinggi banggi bboong bboong banggi (iykyk). i don't have a strong opinion on this track. i like it. the instrumentals tickle my brain. however, it doesn't particularly stand out when compared to the rest of the album. woozi and bumzu delivered strongly, though.

6. 'bout you: this and domino could honestly be interchangeable. dino's rap FUCKS like goddamn. the energy is very cute and it just makes me smile. beyond that, it's pretty solid B tier.

5. hot: welcome to the music video that makes my heart stop every time i watch it. if i really dig an album, the title track usually falls somewhere in the middle of my ranking, so this isn't out of the ordinary. i remember staying up after a monsta x concert for this release, so a plethora of good memories all around. the styling and concept were chef's kiss, seungkwan and dk are obviously serving high in the sky vocal CUNT, and i basically have this song memorized, so overall a VERY good number.

4. march: okay... i'll admit, i'm very biased towards the china line, and they went off in this song. but i also remember hoshi saying that this would be his intro as he entered the ring at a cage match and ever since then i've really enjoyed it. rock is one of my favorite genres, and for that reason, this song goes hard.

3. don quixote: this is a song that ALSO has some pretty slayful china line moments, however, the real standout is... you guessed it: MY HANDS UP! I KEEP 'EM HIGH! that whole section has such high energy (the whole song does, really) and wonwoo's bridge moment is also SO satisfying. i just wanna feel the vibes too, guys.

2. ash: i honestly surprised myself with how high i placed this in my initial ranking. when the album first released, i didn't really *get* ash, but i'll be damned if i don't see the vision now. vernon really pulled up on us wacks with a mac fully loaded in this one, and it's just very sexy. they served at mama this year largely for this reason, and it's always dino time in my heart

and the best track on face the sun issssss:

shadow: i'm a sentimental little shit at heart, and my journey of self love is very well-reflected in shadow. i took WAY too long after the album came out and having this song on my playlist for like a year to look up the lyrics. i originally thought it was about commitment and loyalty and all that jazz, but noooooooooope. the true message somehow made me love this track even more. and, obviously, s.coups and mingyu looking and sounding so delicious at the bridge helped a great deal too. ;)

if you made it this far, thank you so much for reading! if you agree and liked this style of yappage, i will take requests. 🫡 if you disagree, i'd love to know why, let's just keep it respectful as i'm just a little guy.

woozi live commentary

woozi about "power of love" album

he'd always wanted to do a carol-like song so this song was made even if it didn't seem like it but he tried hard to make it sound like a carol song

wonwoo's narration - before making this song, he watched "wolf children", the movie has a narration by the daughter and it was impressive to him. he thought that by explaning/narrating a bit what this song is about before it starts would be nice

woozi about "face the sun" album

this album was made while covid-19 was happening in internet meetings

he was complimented a lot with darl+ing

with face the sun, they wanted to show who they are

the goal of the album was "they wanted to be the sun"

some people in the company also questioned their theme and they couldn't answer it properly except saying "we really want to be the sun"

ash perf stage - they also want to show it.

hoshi really liked ash that he nearly sent message the CEO if it can't be the title track

woozi about "sector 17" album

they didn't really release repackage albums. only with love & letter and sector 17

woozi about "FML" album

why the title is sonogong - there were time where so many bad things happen (2022-ish) and they wanted to overcome it

bc of the bad things that happen, he couldnt even finish singing cirle bc he really just wanted everything to go back the way before

so he wanted to be a hero and for woozi it was sonogong

the hero was sonogong and in FML's lyrics there was a line referencing it

while/after making sonogong, like a miracle everything just went right

dust - humming part, hoo-woah is like releasing/breathing out the dust not that it didn't really have lyrics

woozi about "god of music" album

as the title says, really grateful to music. "if there is a god of music, i want to say thank you"

yawn - just like apum (pain), hapum, hapum, it was written like that but woozi pronounce the first as hapum, while the second was pronounced as "apum" (pain)

woozi doesn't really like talking about music bc it felt like bc he as the creator talks about how the song is made, it would feel like the song is caged(?) on it

to the members: for believing in me, for following me, thank you. it's an honor to make music for the kids so its okay if its hard for me. the members are my all.

Don Quixote is probably one of my favorite tracks from Face the Sun. Shadow is up there too - the whole album is pretty good, but I like those two songs in particular

[prod-svt]

face the sun fifth track domino, my beloved show don't tell song, i love you so much

the usage of a domino show the feeling of helplessly and breathlessly falling in love with someone as they have the upper hand but still enjoying the fall because it's already unstoppable and predictable and your feelings are clearly visible anyway so might as well hug and welcome the fall is so sickly intelligent of the lyricists istg

"it's a bit dangerous standing next to you / this natural tension that i like" - the feeling of dangerousness as you put dominoes side by side being likened to standing beside the one you like but still continuing to put them side by side bc the result is intriguing.

"i'm trying to hold on / the one who makes me in a defenseless state" - dominoes standing side by side are all in a defenseless state

"touch me with a tap / and with hoo, i let out my breath / i fall over in an instant / like domino / falling over in order / this feeling no body knows / i fall over in one hit / like domino" - one tap and one exhale is all it takes for the dominoes to fall down, easily, just like falling in love. it only takes one little thing and you're already falling.

"you put me down and pick me up, this feeling in loop / things change with just one tip of your finger / ... stopping now is more difficult for me"
