making-sweetness Spring songs!
Tuesday, April 22, 2014 making-sweetness Back to the top

In the couple of months that I've neglected my blog to study (and watch the occasional show), winter has come and gone....leaving us with wonderful spring!!! It's been wonderful for the past few days anyway, with the warm sunshine, clear blue skies and blooming springtime flora! However, knowing the temperamental Scottish weather, I'm sure it's going to return to the not-so-wonderful cold spring rain soon. -.- HOW TYPICAL.

Anyway, here's a couple of songs suited for the spring weather! Kpop artistes seem to release different types of songs depending on the season: Tough dance-like songs in summer, Ballads in autumn, Christmassy songs in winter and Cute breezy songs in spring. Not that I mind; upbeat springtime songs make for awesome mugging music.

First up, Can't stop by CNBLUE. Other than cnblue being my all-time favourite kpop band, I chose to start my list with this as it gives the perfect transition between winter and spring as it moves from the emotional part in the verses, to the freshness of spring in the chorus. Love that twist!

Next, Drawing the line by Royal Pirates. Just grouping the bands together! They write their own music as well, but lyrics mean something totally different to the above song. The fact that they have an English version of this song (they are from the US btw) gives them extra brownie points!

Continuing with the upbeat feel, it's Ooh Ooh by Eric Nam. Yet another US-born Korean singer, but I think he took part in some korean singing reality show. Either way, loving the jazzy, finger-snapping vibe of the song!

And how can I leave out songs about innocent one-sided love when talking about springtime kpop songs? It seems to be a feature of the industry there. Here's 200% by Akdong Musician, the talented sibling songwriters who are MUCH younger than me! Feel super tempted to buy their new album since I like all the songs there....
Bonus: Galaxy, aka my favourite song from their album

Last but not least, there's 봄,사랑,벚꽃 말고 (Not Spring, Love or Cherry Blossoms) by High4 and IU. The description in the MV says it is a "Spring song for singles"....i.e. a not so subtle message to stop reminding singles of their 'loneliness' through springtime love songs. Hahaha...I'm just joking!

That's all I have for now.....so will you excuse me as I go back to writing up my last case with these songs as my BGM.
