I've been home for South Korea since mid-Spring, but I still try to keep up with what they are putting out into the music industry. I've been a fan of BTS for a while thanks to my students haha, and I was rooting for them when they won the Billboard Awards earlier this year for Top Social Artist--anything that helps me bridge the gap between my love of Korea to the folks back home.
It's been a little while since I've come across a song or a video that stops me in my tracks and makes me want to play it on repeat. (The last one was Chris Quilala of Jesus Culture's "Because of Your Love".)
This song featuring Jimin from BTS has become that new song over the last few days. The vocals, the visuals, the lyrics, all in combination are breathtaking. The more I watch and listen, the more I am entranced. Good job with this one.
(Turn on English captions if you want to follow along with the lyrics while watching the video)
Translated lyrics:
All this is no coincidence
just- just- i could feel that
the whole world is different than yesterday
just- just- with your joy
When you called me
I become your flower
as if we were waiting
we bloom until we ache
Maybe its the providence of the universe
it just had to be that
U know I know
You are me, I am you
As much as my heart flutters, I’m worried
Destiny is jealous of us
Just like you I’m so scared
When you see me
When you touch me
The universe has moved for us
There wasn’t even a little miss
Our happiness was meant to be
Cause you love me
And I love you
You’re my penicillium (blue mold)
Saving me
My angel my world
I’m your calico cat
Here to see you
Love me now touch me now
Just let me love you
Just let me love you
Since the creation of the universe
Everything was destined
Just let me love you
Let me love, let me love you
Let me love, let me love you
