B-Sides: November Playlist “For You”
While bidding goodbye to the eleventh month of the year, some of us may be feeling some regrets or carrying pain. It’s hard to step into a new, much colder, month without wanting to express that pain, but this too shall pass. As the season of joy begins, you may be searching for some comfort, and we hope that you’ll find a little bit of that in this collection of November B-sides.
ASTRO – “You’re My World”
This song from the sextet’s new mini-album BLUE FLAME is a perfect melody to elevate your feelings. With breezy vocals and mellow keyboard notes, the track opens with dreamy pleasure. Being more of a winter ballad, the song focuses on the members’ pure and comforting vocals, which can soothe and delight every listener. The lyrics sing about being there for each other, as the chorus hums, “You’re my dream, you’re my world, forever, forever.” The song is indeed a promise, “I’ll hug you tightly,” shared between the group and its fans.
Golden Child – “Go Together”
The next song “Go Together” is from Golden Child’s latest and first full album, RE-BOOT. The members know when to comfort their fans, as they released a beautiful winter R&B track for their beloved GOLDENNESS. The song is sung by the sub-unit comprising of Jaehyun, Jibeom, and Bomin. It is yet another song with soft guitar chords and gentle drum beats, as the members assure fans they’ll be there through the tough journey. The chorus sings, “Like the wind, I will always be by your side. I’m always here for you,” speaking to every listener’s heart.
IU – “Love Poem”
IU’s “Love Poem” from her latest album of the same name peeks deeper into the feelings of loneliness and depression and treats its wounds to the fullest. Listening to the musical ballad feels like an emotional rollercoaster ride as the artist touches the soul of the listener in the very first listen. Known for her powerful vocals and strong lyric writing skills, IU once again voices thousands of suppressed cries. The mellow chorus sings, “I’ll be there behind you, who walks alone. Singing till the end, this song that doesn’t end,” relieving weakened hearts. The way the lines are delivered with commanding and strong vocals reassures and aids listeners.
VICTON – “Here I Am”
VICTON’s first win for NOSTALGIA is totally worth it, as the whole album is bliss to listen to. As the name of the song suggests, “Here I Am” is a comforting and promising song on the playlist. With guitar riffs and drum beats, the members confess to being there to help out during hard times. The chorus, “Here I am, when it’s tough, turn around, I’ll protect you, I’ll always be behind you,” sung by main vocalists Sejun and Seungsik makes sure to imprint in the hearts of every listener. The beneficiary of the track can be both the group and their ALICE, as it also reflects on their journey together through these years.
I hope that the above suggested songs were really helpful in making you feel loved. Whatever may be bothering you today, just remember that it is not the end. Always tell yourself that, "this too shall pass." There are people who love you and treasure you. Take care, wear a smile, everything is going to be just fine.
