Day6 Deep Dive #2/3: Welcome (Back) To The Show
Day6 was formed by JYP Entertainment, home of Stray Kids, Got7, and TWICE, and debuted in 2015 with, you guessed it, six members, with Sungjin on vocals, Young K on bass, Wonpil on keyboard, Dowoon on drums, Jae (who left in 2022) on guitar and vocals, and Junhyeok (who left soon after debut in 2016) also on keyboard. This makes them the sixth bonafide band I’ve covered on the blog, after The Rose, Lucy, Rolling Quartz, ONEWE, and Xdinary Heroes.
Here are my credentials: I would consider myself a fan of Day6, sure, having heard a good amount of their singles, some b-sides, and watching a bit of B-T-S content. I’m also a fan of Jae’s solo career. But I haven’t had the chance to experience a comeback in real time yet, and now that the members are back from military service, I figured now was a good chance for a deep dive. So let’s get into it!

Songs I Would LOVE XDH to Cover
I Need Somebody by Day6
"Among all the people surrounding me why am I alone?"
I have a list of Day6 songs that Xdh would kill tbh but this one is just super emotional I love <3
You cannot tell me that Jooyeon would not do amazing at singing Young K's parts in the choruses
And Jungsu would do so well with Sungjin's parts
All of the instrumentals are incredibly pretty as well
XDH + emotional songs = a match (into water) made in heaven
Afterlife by Avenged Sevenfold
"I don't belong here I've gotta move on dear"
Do I even need to say anything more??
It's got rap-style verses, harmonies, a kickass guitar solo, orchestral strings, drum line is drum lining, BANGING bass line, an emotional bridge UGH
You guys... they would rock this song I fear
This is genuinely my favourite song this year
Uprising by Muse
"They will not control us. We will be victorious"
Did Gunil get me into Muse? Yes.. And I've been missing out smh
The bass line is steady, the vocals are SO powerful yet soft at the same time, the drum is yummy, guitars are soloing
They would really nail the choir-like harmonies towards the ending half of the song <33
I feel like the vocalist has a similar tone to Jungsu and Jooyeon so yk- the vision is there
Rebel Love Song by Black Veil Brides
"Let us start living for today"
You guys, the guitars in this song are so pretty! I love when guitars harmonize so this song really sends me to the moon
JUNGSU WOULD DO SO WELL ON THE CHORUS
I think Seungmin singing would be a godsend <3
Also Xdh already rocked the "glam metal" kind of look sooooo.... are we seeing the vision~
A Match Into Water by Pierce The Veil
"But if we die at the same time does it still scare you?"
This song is fast paced and features down tuned guitars, distortion, loud drumming, and a strong low toned bass line
The lyrics are incredibly sad and the story behind this song is pure Alice in wonderland levels of tears
I think XDH would do really well covering this song in a more slowed down, acoustic manner
It would really bring out the sadness in this song :((
Ft. Seungmin & Jiseok rap verses UGH PLS
Twist by Korn
If you've heard this song, you'll know why I didn't put a quote for the lyrics bc.... yeah
Yk I feel like they would just sing this song to goof around bc same
It's a fun song, a very silly song with no particular meaning
Imagine warming up and just hitting a Twist... iconic
If you don't listen to any other song on this list, listen to Twist. It's a 50 second icon
Lean on Me by Day6
"Stop crying like that, lean on me"
I am not done with the Day6 Xdinary Heroes agenda
This song is one of Day6's more rock-ish type sound
There's a few rap type verses in this song as well which would go very nicely with our two rappers <3
The harmonies are also VERY pretty and would suit xdh too
There's even a part where Dowoon sings which yk- drummers singing.. Hey Gunil here's a verse!
Caffeine by Kiro Akiyama
"The strain within concealed by wrapping it in a package of joy"
This song features a repetitive guitar riff, a driving drum line, calming vocals, and an intense bass line
I think Jungsu would really sing the chorus and outro very well
This song's vibes are bit different but regardless, xdh would eat
Sunset by N.Flying
"Hold my hand wherever you go"
Guys the bass line in this song is so attractive. I am obsessed
This is also a really sweet, very cute song <3
I feel like xdh would do well with conveying how sweet this song is while also putting their unique flavour to it
N.Flying + XDH would be super cute y'all <333
Hey y'all... How y'all doing? It is I, back at it again with my wandering thoughts : 3 Can you tell my playlist is a mess? I defs have more in my noggin but yeah. Bye! Thank you for reading~
