Final Top 25 Songs of 2019

hi guys!!

Yes, December! the end of an era! the start of a new day! I mean, not yet but soon. 
Since it's end of era, I thought, I need to make some posts before the year end. 🙊

So, for a start, I'm just gonna share my top 25 listened to songs as of 21st Dec 2019.

Don't be too shock with the number of NCT songs on this list LOL.

Hmm... I guess good songs truly never expires. as you can see, I still listens to old songs a.k.a Celine Dion's Faith (2003) and Charice's One Day (2011).

Best album download this year?

I'll share a few 😎

this one is maybe a little bit bias;

1. I love Princess Jasmine

2. this live action has Will Smith

3. SPEECHLESS IS POWER!!

this is the most unexpected one. I fell in love with the entire album (pretty rare occasion for me).

her previous album that I downloaded, Brave Enough, I only listen to 4 songs out of 18.

you know i have to include this one 😁

the faded ones are the one i untick coz i usually untick songs that I often skipped when they come in the shuffle.

WESTLIFE IS BACK!!!! 

I love this album 

💟💟💟

this is a rare one. I saw her posting a clip from her Blueming MV and I thought the music sounded good. So, I downloaded the album and I am not mad.

it's a good album.

I only ever download one song of hers; Gloomy Clock (feat SHINee Jonghyun) and you know why I downloaded that song. LOL

There you go. Glad to realize that listening to music is still a very big part of me. I'm happy that this still remains. 💖💖

what about you? 

What's your favorite for this year?

Share them in the comment box down below. maybe I'll find my next songs or album to download. 🧐

. . .

I have a new favorite!

Hi guys!

I know, I need to catch up with my posts, sooo here we go.

My budd asked "Kenapa ko suka NCT?" and I went, "sigh. I know why ..just, I don't know how to explain" and I proceeded to explain to him WHY. bahahah

For starters, I've always been SM bias. So, anything SM produced, I will end up supporting.
I don't know if anyone remember but I started obsessing over kpop with Super Junior and over time, as do with all obse - you know what? I'm gonna start using the word 'Passionate' instead of  'Obsess' from now on - as do with all things you passionate about, you will become more knowledgeable of your passion, as in, I know what SM Entertainment is and which idol is under SM and everything fall into places from then on.

You know, of course, I became a Shawol next. I'm still an ELF, just not as passionate as I once were. I'm also a Jumping Boa, MeU, Sone, EXO-L, Cassies, ReveLuv, and NCTzen. Like I said, SM bias.

why I'm passionate about NCT at the moment?

There was a time when SHINee was busy promoting in Japan and they were absent from Korean stage for almost 2 years. When they returned and start promoting in Korea again, Onew said, in his very monotone and stoic face, "I will chase who ever ran to other groups while we were away". and I remember posting "Damn! i should have fangirling over NCT!" supaya cOnew chase aku lah tu ah.. i guess, I became a true NCT fangirl after that?

Um. pause. i found the video. Onew said that at 3:04



umm..i had secondhand embarrassment watching this. Even Taemin can't. like, why am I a Shawol? the fuck is this shit?  I. LOVE. THEM! 💚💚

ok, let's continue.

By that point NCT already began promoting and I have listened to their songs and some are such jam! as mentioned in previous post, a good song IS a good song. 

I think the first song I really listened to is Cherry Bomb, not a big fan. but lucky i have a habit of downloading full album. Whiplash is my fav song from that mini album. 



and then Fire Truck happened. SHINee's Key was one of the MC in one of the music show when NCT was promoting that song, soooo, you understand why I can sing a long to "ey yea yea hands up if you feeling the vibe now" LOL 

anyhoo everything kinda just, once again, fall into places with my passion with NCT from here onward. oh! and Boss! by NCT U. This song has been my jam for a while. even up until this week. LOL



Of course, I'm still a Shawol. and then 2017 happened and SHINee kinda slowed down, and then by end of 2018, Onew enlisted for their mandatory army service. Key and Minho followed early 2019. and now only Taemin left, being our little baby SHINee. This also mean, I'm missing SHINee a lot and I needed new songs to listen to. 

SM kinda "I gotchu fam" me and continue to promote NCT and also Red Velvet a lot this year. and you bet I listened to those new songs. and for some 'hype' reason, I became a passionate NCTzen? 
Maybe you are unaware but SM is promoting NCT 127 to the US this year and they collaborated with a singer I'm aware of,  Ava Max, with So Am I. of course, NCT 127 has a couple of songs in English; Regular and Highway to Heaven. 






I heard this song being played on the local radio station a number of times now and I felt proud for what ever reason.🤗🤗🤗


Even NCT Dream had a collab with HRVY with Don't Need Your Love for SMStation.




I mean, tell me these aren't good songs? Like...

So, why is NCT suddenly becoming my new favorite? hmm.. I don't thing this is sudden. I've always been a fan and only now that SHINee is at a pause that I'm giving them a chance. No, I don't think I'm moving on to becoming NCTzen like I did when I was an ELF. I'm just appreciating new very good songs at the moment.

I hope this story time is fun to read. and I apologize if there're any mistake in naming the correct NCT sub groups. even I can't keep up. 😅😅

Tell me what song are you listening a lot to at the moment? 🤔 to be really honest, I listen a lot to SHINee, EXO, and NCT songs these days. so, again, call me a multi fandom onnie/noona, song wise. 😉

ok, bye.

oh, to explain, why Passionate?

National Treasure dialog:
Ben: We don't need someone crazy. but one step short of crazy, what do you get?
Riley, incredulously: Obsess!
Ben, correcting Riley in professor kind of way: Passionate.

my Baby Blue

Hello

another SHINee post

but especially today, it will be about our beloved leader, Onew.

First mini album dropped on 5th Dec 2018.

Seven songs:

1 Blue

2 거리마다 (Your Scent)

3 동네 (Under The Starlight)

4 어떤 사이 (Sign)

6 온유하게 해요 (Shine On You)

5 사랑이었을까 (Illusion)

7 또각또각 (Timepiece)

Two written by Lee Jinki:

온유하게 해요 (Shine On You)

사랑이었을까 (Illusion)

One pun: 

온유하게 해요

LOL

Gotta love this smart ass babe.

apakan?

😂😂😂

Now let's enjoy his MV of his titled song, Blue.

I kinda expected him to sing this kind of song.

At first, i was like, "eh?" and then as I continue listening on, I kinda, chuckled? 😂
coz the style of the song reminds me of an old Malay song whose titled I don't know the name of 😄
내 스타일 아니야
🙊

the rest of the songs in the album are in his normal ballad style voice, so, major2 love for them all. 

Especially Shine On You 😏



the puns, people. the puns!

but as funny as the title goes, I actually cried at the end of the song. 
the final verse of the song;

Some believe this song Onew wrote for Jonghyun.

Sun is Onew, Moon is Jonghyun.

Onew said I love you and I cried back, "I love you too"
My emotional feeling was so riddikulus last night. Like, when I finally stopped crying, I wondered what was so sad for me to cry like that. LOL.

Actually, I know why.

I'll explain in another post (if I rajin wawawa)

I found a post explaining the meaning of the MV. Kinda far fetch, kinda not.

have a read;
(click to enlarge please)

You know what? No matter how much I want this to be a happy album, it really is not.

Onew is leaving (me) for the army. 
Even though I did read somewhere that he will share some audio updates whilst in the army, I don't think it will change the fact that this album is a goodbye.

His latest post is this;

yeah right

When I clicked the See Translation under his original post, it says, "Please be good in the future! :) thank you so much everyone" and it got me upset. 
it feels like that scene I once wrote in my story, "I just got you, and now you're leaving?" *cry me a river*

Currently listening to  어떤 사이 (Sign)



This one has a festive vibe to it. He really prepared us well, huh? *hmpf* 
for real tho, I like this song. like, I picture us dancing to this. kekeke
(this song better not be a sad song! No, malas ku cari translation 😅)


Can't you tell who my SHINee bias is?

LOL!


Here, let me share you the album;



Have a listen and tell me I'm not being bias. :P

It's a good album. You'll fall in love too.

. . .


A/N: *me in the middle of composing this post* I never learn. I should have just screenshot everything when I see it. You know, for blog post purposes. but nooooooooooo. I always thought I will find it when I need it when in reality, YOU WILL NOT FIND IT WHEN YOU NEED IT!

Extras:

Remember these?

here's a new version:

Next:

we already know he the Sold Out king

WellDone boys! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

caption FTW!! 💪💪

now: a proof.

remember how I was looking for it but didn't find it?

Today, I'm not looking for it

and

what do you know,

it appears!

Onew's imagined Song List for his solo.

(who ever edit this ish, come see me, I just wanna talk LOL)

Flying Money 💸

SO

I actually forgot to try and make a post about this.

Hmm

Maybe becoz I just don't want to talk about how much money I spent in pre-ordering kpop items.

LOL

Let's break this ish down;

1. Key!

He is finally doing his solo. Like, a real solo. I know he did the ToHeart thing but to me, that doesn't count as a solo, since he did it with Infinite's Woohyun (on wiki, Toheart is dubbed 'sub unit'. I don't think thats appropriate since sub-unit usually meant for a unit that is form within a unit and SHINee and Infinite is not from the same unit, is it?)
anyhoo
Key is finally doing a solo!
his first single is called, Forever Yours featuring Soyou.



I love this song at the first listen. 

and then he dropped his album, called, FACE,  on 26th November.

I haven't properly listen to this album yet but managed to I listen to Easy to Love in full, and i like the English lyric.





2. ONEW! 

argh. his news are the most devastating.
first, SM announced his enlistment date, 10th Dec.
AND THEN!
THE SECOND NEWS! he's dropping his first solo album, on the 5th Dec. 

like 😒😒 I hope SHINee make SM rich this final two months of 2018.

Onew's album is called VOICE. titled song will be called Blue.

Kononnya, this album is a gift to Shawol/MVP for our undying love and support for him. 
basically, something for us to hold on to while he in the army. or something like that.

SO EXCITED FOR THIS!!

not that he never sang solo before, but previously he sang for OSTs, and for SMStation releases, he sang two duets. So, I don't know, doesn't quite counts.

🤷🏻🤷🏻



3. SHINee Japan!

YES! IT'S NOT DONE YET! titled is not a joke. 💸💸💸💸

SHINee World J presents! a DVD for the special Fan Event they had at Tokyo Dome for SHINee's (i think) 7th anniversary since debut in Japan.

Thus, including the Season Greetings, 
I have 4 kpop items to look forward to this month and in Jan 2019.

as excited as I am, I do have this thought at the back of my mind, that, these releases, are meant to be a distraction for us.

becoz

December.

I can't believe we made it thru the year.

I don't know how I should feel about it.

I keep forgetting anyway, and I kinda prefer it that way.

*shrug shrug shrug*

ok, ok.

let's not go there.

let's enjoy these lovely gifts, shall we?

My wallet does not appreciate my decision this month 😂😂

. . .

Bonus items:

Remember that time when Jonghyun plaglarize Taemin's ACE?

Ever since then, Shawol been speculating other member's solo releases.

this one win. Onew Chicken. LOL!!

*break-time* took me forever to search all the fan made album covers of the other members. Andangnya~~ bila di cari, nada. bila inda di cari karang~~ ada ya tu palak2 dapan mata. I wana say "thanks IG's saved button" but no. you miscalculated how much I saved PER DAY!

*in that spongebob french accent* 2 hours later~

I FINALLY FOUND IT~!
found them like from January 2018 post. like...thanks..
of course, within the two hours, I go toilet, eat snacks, etc.

I realized this Bonus section is getting longer too.

Fan made album covers:
obviously these are the newer version. there were other versions before.

Shawol lived for this shiz! HAHAHAHA

but of course,

reality is different.

hahahahah

I know I saw somewhere a new fan made album cover for Minho's but I am NOT gonna go thru another hour searching for it. like, no.




. . .

From Now On

SHINee, The Best From Now On album.

released date: 18th April 2018.

Songs in this album consist of all their releases in Japan for the past 7 years.

final track on it is what everyone wanted to hear most (I think), coz Jonghyun's voice is included. 

sigh.

anyway,
have a listen. it's called From Now On



as always, when its a Japanese release, its hard to find original audio on youtube -,- So, the above is, I believe, an audio taken during one of their dome tours. 

I finally understand why this song was so emotional when they sang it back at their dome tours in Japan last February.

I finally really 'feel'.

Let's read the translation now:


If I hadn’t met you yet
What would I have been doing now?
Not even knowing the meaning of love
Where would I have strayed?
No words to describe
My surging emotions
But you, we understand each other
Always have, always will

I offer you all my love
And endless gratitude
I swear on the stars that fall from your eyes
I’ll be with you forever
I’ll be with you
I’ll be with you

Following an endless dream
Never stoping, I took the first step
Beliving only in your smile
Before I knew it, I found myself in this place

A view unattainable on my own (Watch it pass me by)
Things I can’t grasp (Won’t let go)
Together with you, I can find it (I promise you)
Let’s go on searching for it forever

I offer you all my love
And endless gratitude
I swear on the stars that fall from your eyes
I’ll be with you forever
I’ll be with you
I’ll be with you

I’ll never forget this day with you
No matter what the future holds
It’s this love that makes me
Even stronger

I offer you all my love
And endless gratitude
I swear on the stars that fall from your eyes
I’ll be with you forever
I’ll be with you
I’ll be with you
Forever

#gaddammit

why am I doing this to myself tonight?



. . .

a/n: I'm not being superstitious but I don't like the idea behind 'the best' album or yg sewaktu dengan nya for example Westlife's The Greatest Album. 
I just don't trust the idea behind it.

After Laughter

Just when I thought there were no more good lyricist in the world,
Paramore came out with this album.

Let's read the lyric for Hard Times below:


All that I want
Is to wake up fine
Tell me that I'm alright
That I ain't gonna die
All that I want
Is a hole in the ground
You can tell me when it's alright
For me to come out

Hard times
Gonna make you wonder why you even try
Hard times
Gonna take you down and laugh when you cry
These lives
And I still don't know how I even survive
Hard times
Hard times

And I gotta get to rock bottom

Walking around
With my little rain cloud
Hanging over my head
And it ain't coming down
Where do I go?
Gimme some sort of sign
You hit me with lightning!
Maybe I'll come alive

Hard times
Gonna make you wonder why you even try
Hard times
Gonna take you down and laugh when you cry
These lives
And I still don't know how I even survive
Hard times
Hard times

And I gotta hit rock bottom

Tell my friends I'm coming down
We'll kick it when I hit the ground
Tell my friends I'm coming down
We'll kick it when I hit the ground
When I hit the ground


Aren't they genius?

I love it! it's like they know what's in my head or something.

psychic!

Hashtag Raven

Now let's watch the MV



Kinda rugged right this concept?

I'm living for it.
