#baby goodnight

[shinwhoohoo]

I don't know if you already answered this but what is your personal ranking of all B1A4 title tracks?

this took way longer than it should have lol

so I'm answering this solely based on the audio of the comeback title track-- not the MV, not the era as a whole, or the stage outfits, or whatever. Just the musicality of the song. (And I’m ranking all the songs they actively promoted on music shows as a separate comeback, so excluding OSTs or one time, special stages)

Tried to Walk (the first time I heard this song, I remember being in shock-- this was such a radical jump to me in Jinyoung’s composing skill and a real turning point for him. It’s still such a beautiful song, and I think it portrays the emotions of the lyrics perfectly, with Baro’s rap the icing on the cake + the final chorus KEY CHANGE!)

Lonely (UGH so hard to place this, but ultimately I think this is my spot for it. Love a good pentatonic scale, love a good final chorus key change, plus the ‘Baby, I just wanna spend some time with you’ STILL GETS ME)

A Lie (To me, Lonely get’s the edge because of the pentatonic scale makes it more interesting and unique, and Tried To Walk gets the edge because it was the first to have the complex chorus and I’m a bit more nostalgic with it, but A Lie is a very *very* close third place. And oh look, another FINAL CHORUS KEY CHANGE LKSJFKDLFJS)

Sweet Girl (time has been kind to SG lol arguably my least favorite comeback, the song itself I’ve warmed up to considerably. I do appreciate the change in style, to a more jazz-like sound than we were accustomed to. And it *is* pretty, very full and luscious sounding.)

Solo Day (fun, great vibes, great backing beat, catchy chorus, just a little too much JY singing lmao but another song with a strong ending)

Like A Movie (this song was actually a bit hard to rank. While I like the melody of this song more than say, SD or WH, I feel that it lacks the fullness, the richness and heart, that SD and WH have when I listen to them. Hence why I ultimately put it in between them lol. Also, I think having a 3/4 time signature was a nice change of pace)

What’s Happening (perfect example of if I were doing this rating strictly on the comeback/era as a whole, What’s Happening would be #1 lol. But just based on the song, WH’s never quite did it for me-- but I do appreciate the fun vibe and switches in tempo but controversial opinion, I think they overplay/overperform it. and yes yes I know because it was one of their most well known, public friendly songs.)

O.K (still holds up, still cute, still lively, nothing more to say lol)

Baby Goodnight (you have no idea how long I went back and forth between putting this above or below O.K lol. While I think Baby Goodnight is catchier, on the whole, I think O.K is just the better, more complex song musically.)

Only Learned Bad Things (idk, I really have nothing to add about this song, it’s solid but nothing special to me).

Beautiful Target (in a way, it pains me to put this low; but while the chorus and ending is super strong, the versus I always found to be pretty average, with the electronic robot voice always grating to my ears lol)

Rollin’ (needless to say... I was very whelmed when Rollin’ first dropped. It is, to me, a more advanced/complex song than O.K, BG, etc, but I do not find myself ever going back to listen to it. It’s one of those that when I do actually go back and listen-- like for this ranking lol-- I’m like oh yeah, right, this song exists. It’s cute, I like it, but yeah, idk *shrugs* there was enough tropical-house songs coming out at the time, and this song certainly didn’t break any barriers with it)

Baby I’m Sorry (aka literally the only comeback song of their’s I never liked lol, even when it first came out. Too much autotune. Especially with JY’s parts.)

I tend to favor more melodic, moody songs. Songs with big sweeping melodies, with dramatic finishes over more upbeat, simple catchy songs. The first three are like, so close to being equal it’s really difficult for me to even rank them. I just find them to be such beautiful, heartfelt songs filled with emotion. The next grouping I’d say would be 4th through 9th-- all very solid songs that I absolutely love and adore, but just lack that edge for me. Then 10th through 12th are I guess, songs I like overall, but definitely moving towards the more ‘average’ vibe. And yeah, like I mentioned poor Baby I’m Sorry I just never really cared for lol.

Feel free to share your thoughts or your ranking~!

Henry and his ties: (part 2)

Here for part 1

Blue and white stripes (same as PR handshake)

Formal and serious, navy is the color of authority

Dark blue with red dots

Required formality, even alone he still needs to wear clothes suitable for a royal. Red can mean danger or his enclosed love

Red with light blue and white stripes

Public image, wearing red is attention-grabbing and, even if he doesn't want to get public after the emails leak, he's forced to

Royal blue and white stripes again but thinner

Power and authority, it's Henry's moment to stand up for himself and fight for his own future

Yellow roses

Hope and youth, as Henry says, it also has a link to Texas history: "Yellow Rose of Texas" is a popular song since the 1930s with a full story on it's own. (You can read here.) Henry is finally getting the happy future he deserves and can hope for a bright sunny future with the love of his life

Side addition: solid tie is the basic pattern that doesn't add anything to the tie and lets the color speak for itself; polka dot adds playfulness and/or sophistication; stripes mean classic and elegant but can differ from one another (Henry always wears the British type with stripes that run from left shoulder down to the right side)

[shinwhoohoo]

ok now i need to know what's your fav song from each album and ep (even maybe japanese albums, cause i always liked them, but idk about everyone else)... can't remember if you already answered this... probably yes, but now i feel nostalgic lmao i need a comeback so bad

oooh asking the interesting questions thank you!! Ok, I really attempted to pick just one for this lol but it was really hard so for the full albums I picked two 😅

Origine:  Wind (바람) & For BANA. Honorable Mention to Water Drop (물방울)

Rollin’: Love Emotion. Honorable Mention to Smile Mask. Honestly Rollin’ on the whole is just... such a noisy album to me lol like I don’t know how else to summarize it.

Good Timing: Literally every song on this album lol. Ok, OK. UM. Drunk on You, it’s actually embarrassing how many times I played this song when it first came out & Together (함께). Honorable Mentions to A Lie, Crushing on You Again (너에게 한 번 더 반하는 순간), Nightmare, & In Dreams (꿈에) LIKE I MEAN IT THIS ENTIRE ALBUM IS BEAUTIFUL.

Sweet Girl: After 10 Years (10년 후). Honorable Mention to probably Sweet Girl. Though the instrumental for ‘Wait’ is beautiful-- just a bit too slow for me.

Solo Day: You Make Me A Fool (내가 뭐가돼). Honorable Mention to Solo Day

Who Am I: again, literally the entire album BUT Road (길) which I feel like at this point everyone knows is my favorite bipo song in general lmao & Lonely. Honorable Mentions to Memory (사랑 그땐), Pretty, Who Am I & Feel The Music

What’s Happening: MY FAVORITE EP!!!! With my second favorite Bipo song, which is..... Starlight’s Song (별빛의 노래)!!! Like holy shit what a beautiful song, with Sandeul’s belt at the end?! Words cannot even describe. Honorable Mention to How Many Times (몇 번을), another beautiful, under-appreciated b-side.

In The Wind: Tried To Walk, lol my fave comeback song, and of course my fave off the EP. Honorable Mention to If…, & In The Air cause it’s just such a fun song, even now.

 Ignition: Because of You (너때문에), cause CNU’s rap is LOVE & This Time is Over. Honorable Mention to Smile... Sandeul’s voice melts me in the chorus & Baby Goodnight.

It B1A4: My Love. Honorable Mentions to Beautiful Target and Foool. Also, as an aside, this was the first time I listened to the entire EP in years and I forgot just how sweet, upbeat and cute it was? Like even Chu Chu Chu, which is supposed to be the ‘slower’ song, is sooo endearingly sweet lol.

Let’s Fly: Only One. It’s actually kinda crazy that this song, which I feel like is still such an impactful song for them as a group, was literally a b-side that was released in their first EP. Like I never would have guessed at the time. Honorable Mentions to O.K and Only Learned Bad Things.

I love how I started this to the point with no or short notes but then as the list goes on I just get all word-vomity lol. But I guess I didn’t expect anything different from me so here we are.

And as for Japanese releases I’m just gonna go for their main albums:

5: This was actually a very strong album, and in a lot of ways I’d prefer this to be taken as their final release as five (which I mean, it is since it released a year after Rollin’, but because it’s not a Korean release I feel like we generally over look it which is a shame because it is a LOT stronger of an album than Rollin’, to me at least). Anyways with that out of the way, MAZE & I NEED YOU. Honorable Mentions to Mommy Mommy, & 会えるまで

4: Blue Moon & そうすれば. Honorable Mentions to Follow Me & Lights On.

3: So most of this album is just Japanese releases of their Korean songs, so I won’t include them. With that in mind, I’d say Pretend I Didn’t See (モッポンゴヤ〜見なかったことに) is my favorite by far.

2: Again, not counting the re-releases, maybe Believe in Love? I think this is their weakest album as far as the original Japanese songs go.

1: And again, discluding the original Korean songs re-released in Japanese, Empty Mind!
