cpn time: yibo’s new songs 🎧

here we are, two songs and a bunch of short video clips later, but this post will be more about the lyrics. if you haven’t listened to the tracks then please enjoy bystander and everything is lovely first before anything else. i’m so thankful that wyb has kept his promise to fans of bringing us a new song every year and also performing it during nye. he may not be the most obvious when it comes to appreciating his fans but this is the best example of his commitment to sharing himself to fans and treating us.

i will start with some minor clues before we get into the lyrics and all that clowning interpretation. 🙇‍♀️

1. The first 3 photos that yibo-official released as soon as it turned 12:00, one of them was color pink, or you can say, very light shade of red. His photos released before had a more solid red like that from a traffic light but this one leans more towards pink.

A very nice choice of color knowing how he relates pink to being the color of love and and all the other symbolism we attached to it.

& when yibo posted it, he placed the pink one in the middle vs yibo-official’s who placed it on the right.

2. Same choice of words between their studios, especially with reference to the gap of time. We are definitely looking closer than a normal fan would when it comes to their studio’s captions, edits, posting time etc and to a normal fan this would just fly over their head. but the amount of coincidence between the two is too much!

3. QQ released parts of the lyrics and this one, the chorus of everything is lovely ( up to the part talking about love of coming home ), the word love was mentioned 23 times. Love Zhan. I mean, we all know this boys loves 2 and 3 😂😂😂

4. The timing of release for their projects this day. Another example of how they don’t overlap with the day or time. XZ’s marie claire was between 10-12 and then WYB stuff of course started coming out at 12:00. this follows their pattern 👀

5. I really like what this bxg discovered, the way everything is lovely was written, if you turn in upside down it may read wyb loves xz. 🤯🤯🤯

for those of us who have been subjected to xz’s artwork and the little things he hides, this should be believable to you. he is known to do these things, even without the cpn intention.

==================

BYSTANDER

I gotta say, i’m leaning more towards this song, i didn’t expect it! I just love how it sounds and i’m with those who felt nostalgic while listening to it. it seems familiar and brand new at the same time. The melody of the first few lines got me thinking of words ( bee gees ) and the guitar/drums played are excellent too! I hope he sings this with a live band please! 🙏🏼

I often watch, listen and feel like reaching out to touch.

Holding a handful of seawater to see it’s dreamlike color.

this is more of a song ( atleast to me ) that speaks of who WYB is as a person. a bystander/spectator/onlooker. he is someone who observes people and keeps quiet first before engaging. but that doesn’t mean he is indifferent, in this song, he talks about admiring the things around him.

i’m also thinking of a wish to be a bystander. XZ/WYB repeatedly said that the super power they wish to have in invisibility so they just roam around without people noticing them. in a way, it’s wyb’s ( and by extension xz ) wish to be able to do this.

Embrace all the joys and sorrows of life. Listen to the plucked feathers speak, wings aiming for the vast sky.

Watch a fallen leaf repeating until the four seasons bring it back to the branch. I cannot see another galaxy but believe in me in a more distant place.

i see this as basically yibo and zz’s view in life, they are willing to go through the good and bad. their lives may seem ideal because they are celebrities but it’s far from that so they just have to focus on the good.

Don’t ask me what i’m looking for, let life pass through.

it’s him just wanting to be left alone, to allow him to go through his life without people watching his every move. or maybe there isn’t anything he is looking for or aiming for, he is just enjoying and going through his life. This line speaks to me so much! There’s really no need to be constantly trying to achieve things and be exhausted by the end of it. Sometimes, it’s okay to sit back and enjoy the simple things.

EVERYTHING IS LOVELY

I have discussed this song before, especially the chorus that covers a lot of the CPNs. I feel the same way about my interpretation of those lines even after learning the lyrics of the whole song.

My hands, accustomed to patting my head, opening up the memory of the river and pond. There are always a few good friends by the side.

Listening to the cicadas, watching the fishing boats.

WYB who likes to pat his head as an example 😂 so this is really from his POV and a more personal touch to start this song.

Listening to the cicadas and watching the fishing boat? This paints a picture of them during CQL shoot and hanging out.

I’m cackling tho at bxg interpretation of the lines that talk about river & ponds and then him having friends on the side. So who are the friends by that pod? Turtles? LOL. 😂😂😂😂

How to distinguish between people, whether post-00s are young or very mature.

This is so WYB. Reminding us of when he always made a point to say that GG looks so young or that they have no age gap 🥹🥹🥹

Under the mud, lotus roots finally grown. Please, lotus flowers do not look back.

Lotus roots/ Lotus flowers. What a peculiar choice to include in the song. Maybe there is some deeper explanation here that has something to do with culture or what but as a clown, our minds went to CQL.

It’s a part of the story and who can forget that behind the scenes of WYB pulling out those lotus seeds for XZ? 🙃

I tightly hold on to the people i once lost.

I like the way some people have interpreted this line. If what we think is true, that they lost each other at some point after the cql shoot then this line makes sense. They had some time apart after that shoot and XZ went to Japan to clear his head. The people around them also encouraged to take this time away from each other and get out of character. But they still found their way back as XZ/WYB. 🤍

The main thing in this song tho is— everything is lovely because you (xz) are in everything. 😭😭😭😭

-END.

Hi! I would love to hear what Ben thinks of the reader's music and what HIS favorite music is. Just picturing a grumpy, old Ben grumbling about "music nowadays" 😂

Hey there, lovely Anon!

Ohohooo, what a great question. 😂 I too can imagine Mr. Grouch trying to understand modern music:

I briefly explored this in Part 5 of Break Me Down, when they're (playfully) arguing about music:

And you talked—about the old-ass TV shows he never got to see the end of, and the new music he hated. You’d enjoyed (gently) teasing him about being an old man who didn’t understand Cardi B when you played it on his phone. You suspected he didn’t quite understand how all the bells and whistles worked on an iPhone yet. (But he’d taken it back from you before you could text anyone.) “In my day, there was a little more fucking class,” he’d said. “Sinatra. Nat King Cole. Christ, the fucking Beatles.”  You’d rolled your eyes at that. You liked all those guys too, actually. But that didn’t mean you couldn’t bang out all the words to “Bodak Yellow” and “Please Me.”

😂 A little more fucking class indeed, Benjamin.

As a more general Soldier Boy (Ben) x Reader situation, I explored Ben vs. 90s music in this imagine: Taking Ben to a 90’s themed club.🕺🏻

A highlight from that one:

For a while he just sits at the bar with you while you catch up with your friends. You're so damn excited, he can tell. The inside of the club is interesting, he supposes, with dim lighting and a DJ on the stage with a very sophisticated looking setup that Ben finds wholly unfamiliar. The music, however, is ass so far. What the fuck is this, Hip Hop? Rap? R&B? He can't tell, and he doesn't know any of the songs. It sounds like a bunch of fucking whining. And don't get him started on whatever you call grunge.

But as for Ben's favorite music...

It's my headcanon that he personally identified with the likes of Frank Sinatra ("My Way"), Dean Martin, Bing Crosby, Mel Torme, Nat King Cole, etc. He definitely would've come into adulthood on that and sought to emulate their lifestyle, not just like their music.

Him coming up in the 40s, he probably would've (secretly) liked a bit of Doris Day and Ella Fitzgerald. (In BMD world, it would probably remind him of his mother.)

But there's also some edge to him. He would've embraced some "free love" to to speak lol, so getting through the 60s and 70s, I think he would've liked the Beatles, Rolling Stones, maybe some Bruce Springsteen, Billy Joel, and Aerosmith coming into the 80s.

Interestingly, from that scene in the Legend's penthouse we know he had Air Supply on in the background, so maybe he's secretly into some classic love songs from the 70s/80s. 😂 Maybe some Bee Gees, Spandau Ballet, stuff like that...

Though God forbid someone try to tease him about it.

Especially when he starts to dip into some of your music when you're not looking. 😏

[ask-a-bot]

”White Mud” is such a fun name for snow, Hot Rod! 😂🤣 Love it! But yea, you can create snowmen, make snow angels, and have epic snow ball fights with your friends! It’s a lot of fun. Some people who live in very, very cold, snowy areas will actually create living areas, called igloos, out of snow blocks! From what I’ve heard, igloos do an excellent job of trapping the heat inside the igloo, keeping the person warm and comfortable.

You have flowers now, Megs? Nice! Did wildflowers pop up or did you manage to plant some for your garden. I bet it feels soooo refreshing to be outside in the fresh air after being inside for a while. I know I get “cabin fever” if I’m cooped up inside for too long.

Hey Starscream! First, am I allowed to call you Star? And second, have you and Bee tried the game “Among Us”? Do you like it or is it not your favorite?

Haha! I might keep on calling it white mud. Brrr... it's cold outside! Megatron says it's usually cold by water.

Yeah, open water acts as a natural coolant. The air sweeps over it and that cools the area around it.

Cool!

Ohhh... like sire, like offspring. I swear, he's inherited Prime's awful jokes.

No harm done. Snf.

You try being confined to a ship with him, all alone.

I... see what you mean.

Hey! I'm right here.

So I see. Haha. My apologies.

Can we go back now? Your giraffe won't come out to see us and I... uh... I'm getting really cold.

You OK?

You're not getting sick, are you?

No, it's just... I just want to go warm up.

Come on then, young'un. Sorry, Megatron. Young people just aren't as tough as we were at their age. We'll go on ahead so you can chat to Lunar.

Thank you.

The flowers are wild at the moment. We have had some trees delivered, but Optimus wants to go and visit a garden centre. Personally, I would sooner have everything delivered and get on with it!

Brrrrr! Hot Rod is right – it is chilly out here. Snf. Kshoosch! Ksch-kssch-ksssschoooooosch! Snf. My apologies. Excuse me. Snf.

Are you OK? I decided to come check on you when Kup and Roddy came back without you.

Is Hot Rod well?

Yeah. Think he just needed to pee.

Bumblebee, you do not have to disclose information such as that on someone's behalf. He seemed... uncomfortable... and I was concerned because he complained about the chill in the air, but if he had wanted me to know-

OK, OK! I'm sorry. Gee...! I was just trying to put your processor at rest.

No, you simply decided-

Hello! I decided to join you too. Rod's taking a hot shower to warm up. He said it was really cold out and I... I got worried.

Bumblebee... I think I should probably have words with Optimus.

Uh-oh.

Hi, Lunar. You may call me Star. I've heard of Among Us but I haven't played it yet. Is it good?

I heard two Steve Winwood songs in a row today and thought of you immediately.

hope all you guys have an awesome day/night/weekend thanks for being in my life

[vintagesoul1975]

Tell me how you fell in love with the Bee Gees.

Oh lawd! Lol

It pretty much started out with Andy in the beginning. I had the biggest crush on him when I was like 6. He was all over my wall with Matt Dillon, Michael J Fox, Rob Lowe, all the heartthrobs of the day. I didn’t connect the dots with him and The Bee Gees obviously, even though i would always hear my mom talk about how sexy this Barry Gibb was. But she also thought Tom Jones, Barry White, and god knows who else 😂

I would listen to them in passing, like of course there was Saturday Night Fever, etc. but it wasn’t until I actually sat and watched “The Documentary”😒 From then on I was done. I have a playlist of every album on 4 streaming platforms, dozens of pics in my iPad, and somehow I’m not ashamed. Not at all.

Also, who remembers Parker Stevenson? I totally dated myself.

K bye.

[deepwoundsandfadedscars]

Hey, how was your coming out? I hope everything was good and your cousins accepted you. If they didn't, a whole community is ready to love and embrace you <3 Lots of love!!

It went really well, but I also was very careful about who I came out to and made sure I was safe before saying anything haha (I'll put this under a readmore cause it got kinda long lol)

So I started over a year ago with a cousin that I knew was an ally, and then she reassured me I'd be safe with her sister. And then the two of them together pointed me to another cousin that I hadn't spoken to in over a decade and didn't know very well, and he accepted me immediately. And then this weekend when we had everyone together and more and more conversation about religion and such came up, I realized that literally all of us except for my brother aren't religious anymore. So when we made plans for us all to go out for lunch the next day and the only person that wouldn't be there would be my super conservative brother, I texted the last cousin I came out to since the last ones I needed to talk to were all his siblings and he assured me that even if they didn't fully understand the gender stuff he could say with 100% certainty that they would all accept me for me. And yeah, it just went really well, there was a lot of talk about what our lives look like now, stories from when we were kids cause we did some pretty wild shit when we were young, how sheltered those of us that grew up in religion were and how our nonreligious cousins were terrified for us, and just general generational trauma and how we're all doing our best to put an end to it.

But yeah. Everyone I talked to I had a level of certainty that they would accept me before going into the conversation, but it was still sorta scary.

And I've also committed to not denying if someone straight up asks me, so I had a funny time talking to my grandmas sister. Apparently news of my ex and I divorcing hadn't made it to her so she'd asked if we were having kids and so I told her no and that it was a major factor in our divorce. And it's important to note that we'd had whiskey shots just a few minutes before this conversation, but she had like three shots on an empty stomach, so she was really tipsy and she leaned in real close to me and lowered her voice like "Are you one of those el-gee-bee-tee-que people? cause I want you to know that I'm am TOTALLY OK with that and I love you" 😂😂 she tracked me down later when she'd sobered up and we had a really good conversation about it.

40, 42, 44, 46, 48, 51-53, and 99 please. thank you :))

For someone like me, who has such trepidation about choosing a favorite anything, I thought this would take me a week to answer this many 😂

40. Favorite Disney movie - I might give Toy Story a slight nod over Beauty and the Beast :)

42. Favorite animated movie - I would refer to the previous question. (I hate not including Frozen, Up, Aladdin, and The Little Mermaid)

44. is there a movie you could watch over and over again, and not get tired - I will answer with the understanding that the PP trilogy is a given. But Forrest Gump, 10 Things I Hate About You, A Walk To Remember, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, and of course Christmas Vacation :)

46. A movie that had you laughing throughout - Stripes; and Plains, Trains, and Automobiles.

48. Rom-com or drama - I have a hard enough time reading BeChloe angst, so give me rom-com every time!

51. Favorite book adaptation turned movie - The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo and Silence of the Lambs.

52. Favorite Actor - I would go with Matthew Mcconaughey/Al Pacino/Robert DeNiro.

53. Favorite Actress - do I have to pick between Kendrick, Snow, and Steinfeld? Forced to do so - Kendrick. I don’t know of anything she can’t do. But all three steal my complete attention when they’re on screen.

99. Best movie soundtrack - Incredibly tough question. I feel like PP and Mamma Mia deserves their own category. So my choice is outside those: Stayin Alive-(Bee Gees, Stallone); 8 Mile (rap);Forest Gump (60s&70s);Casino (Fleetwood Mac, Rolling Stones, The Animals);the 007 and Elvis movies are strong, too 😊

This was soooo much fun (and exhausting 😂). TY 😊💜

Have a wonderful day ❤️😍 (yay Christmas)

[bourbon-ontherocks]

I was tagged by the amazing @missmaxime @mego42 and @juuuunaaaaoooo to ramble about my impeccable music tastes, as you all know how this monster does NOT need to be fed haha!!

Rule: Hit shuffle on your media player and write down the first 20 songs, then tag 10 people. no skipping!

So there's actually the music I physically own on my computer, and the music I listen to on Deezer (French for Spotify, because using the same service as the rest of the world is too pedestrian for us 😂), and those are kinda mutually exclusive?? Like I use Deezer to discover new things that I'll eventually physically dl but the overlap is actually minimal, so I'll do ten of each (also I removed the French stuff and the classical music).

My Indigo - Crash And Burn

Lola Marsh - Echoes

Def Leppard - Love Bites

Roxette - It Must Have Been Love

Moving Pictures - What About Me

Bee Gees - For Whom The Bell Tolls

Air Supply - Making Love Out Of Nothing At All

Cage The Elephant - Too Late To Say Goodbye

Au/Ra - Outsiders

Matt Maeson - Put It On Me

Eminem - Till I Collapse

Tarja Turunen - Innocence

Jennifer Rush - Nobody Moves

Hans Zimmer - At World's End

Elton John - Song For Guy

Billy Joel - Downeaster Alexa

ABBA - Move On

Ruelle - Fire Meets Fate

Xandria - Nightfall

LP - Lost On You

I feel like this has already spread around so I’ll just tag everybody who wants to play it, and please feel free to re-tag me anytime cause I could play this all day, I’m insatiable...
