(〜^∇^)〜(〜^∇^)〜(〜^∇^)〜First let us dance to celebrate Beast for their comeback and new album. This is
a happy occasion for all the fans especially B2uties. I’ve always like Beast for their songs and
also their main vocal Yoseob (gwiyeowo) and their rapper Junhyung (so cool, so
Beast!). I actually learned to dance to a few of their songs like Fiction and
Beautiful, just because I love the dance choreography so much.
But their
recent comeback shows another side of them. The title song Shadows is written
by Junhyung himself and it revolves about a person who doesn’t want to leave
his loved one and doesn’t mind to be the shadow so that he will always be there
for her. The concept is very much like their previous songs and the
choreography as usual, only belongs to Beast. It shows their cool, manly side
very well and I really like the dance. Dongwoon, the maknae has described the
dance as hating someone and beating him before you reconcile back in Weekly
Idol. You guys should watch it. It was so funny and weird at the same time the
way he was explaining about the dance.
More than
their title song though, I’m more hooked up in their other songs
especially How to Love and You’re Bad. I can’t help to fall in love with the
way the lyrics were written so poetically in both songs. Especially in How to
Love, it’s beautifully written in the first verse where it sums up what love is
all about that one should know. The lyrics narrowed the point right into the basic of loving someone which many have overlooked nowadays. It pointed out how falling in love can be easy if only people disregard a few things that has stopped them from doing so. I feel like the song is directed to people like me who find it hard to fall in love or even to like someone. For that reason I feel so attached to the song as though someone is telling me what I should have done to be able to love.
Contrary to How to Love, You’re Bad deals with a guy who still can’t get over his ex and couldn’t
understand how his ex could forget him so easily and move on. He hates her for
being happy without him and hoping that she would be unhappy so that she would
come back to him. It's quite catchy and I've been pretending I'm Dongwoon ever since by singing the chorus part all the time. Apparently, many of the songs take a spin on a broken relationship. I
don’t know if it has anything to do with the member break up (ehem, you know who),
but I can feel the sincerity in this album and I don’t think it is done just
base on one factor and it’s definitely not being done hastily either.
Maybe some
of the fans don’t like their new songs since there are not many dance numbers and
also slow beat, but for me, they have improved a lot and this album is much
more meaningful when you look at the lyrics of each songs. I'm falling in love with them all over again.
