Song Tag
emchan tagged me in this like 500 years ago, but I finally got around to doing it now. I'm too lazy to tag people so do it if you want. Or something. Also I at picking one particular song so this became like a laundry list for some of them. Oops. Me and my terrible taste and lack of musical diversity (90% of the songs are from the same three artists).
1. A song you like with a colour in the title
Yellow Light - Of Monsters
Colours - Day6 (it's a colour!)
2. A song you like with a number in the title
02:34 - Jonghyun
1000 Years Always By Your Side - SHINee
Twenty-Three - IU
3. A song that reminds you of summertime
Solo Day - B1A4
Tonight - SPICA
Us - Regina Spektor
Lakehouse - Of Monsters and Men
4. A song that reminds you of someone you'd rather forget about
Childhood friend that really hurt me introduced me to this song - American Candy - The Maine
Love Run - Amber
5. A song that needs to be played LOUD
You Don't Love Me - SPICA
Little Talks - Of Monsters and Men
Spoiler - SHINee
Trigger - SHINee
6. A song that makes you want to dance
I'd dance to so many songs if I felt like it, I dance all the time by myself (occasionally while holding my very unimpressed cat)
Married to the Music - SHINee
Piano Man - Mamamoo
Dirty Paws - Of Monsters and Men
7. A song to drive to
This is reminding me of my parents continually trying to force me to get a license.
I - Taeyeon
Wolves Without Teeth - Of Monsters and Men
Queen of New York - SHINee
8. A song about drugs or alcohol
??? Not that I can think of? Unless we want to put on our tin-foil hats and say that everything is a metaphor for drugs...
9. A song that makes you happy
Hoppipolla - Sigur Ros
Empire - Of Monsters and Men
10. A song that makes you sad
The End - Silverstein
Stay Alive - Jose Gonzalez
Skeleton Flower - Jonghyun
Black Water - Of Monsters and Men
11. A song you never get tired of
Rude Love - f(x)
Evil - SHINee
Love Love Love - Of Monsters and Men
12. A song from your pre-teen years
A little too late for pre-teen years, but Somewhere in Neverland - All Time Low. I was also a pre-teen when all the K-Pop "classics" came out and remember K-Pop getting big in Southeast Asia very well (Sorry Sorry, Gee, Run Devil Run, Mirotic, Nobody, etc. I wanted to strangle the person who wrote Sorry Sorry after it was played for the 8000th time in 2009).
13. One of your favourite 80s songs
Don't You (Forget About Me) - Simple Minds
If we're going 80s inspired, One Black Night - Wonder Girls but the entirety of the Reboot album was amazing. I still don't understand why Korea ignored it.
14. A song you would love played at your wedding
Somewhere Only We Know - Lily Allen
Mountain Sound - Of Monsters and Men
15. A song that is a cover by another artist
Hyeya - Jonghyun
This totally cheating but Smells Like Nirvana - Weird Al' Yankovic. I mean, it could be. You're lying if you can tell what the lyrics for Smells Like Teen Spirit exactly just from listening.
16. One of your favourite classical songs
I'm uncultured swine.
17. A song you would sing a duet with on karaoke
Somebody to Love - Queen
The Reason - SHINee
Sympathy - Jung Joon-young
18. A song that brings you comfort
An Encore - SHINee
Beautiful - Amber
Hold Me Tight - BTS
Warm Winter - Jonghyun
Sleepless Night - SHINee
Soldier - Taemin
Basically I just blast Shinee, Jjong and Tae when I need some comforting after something rough. Those songs have carried me through a lot.
19. A song that makes you think about life
Aewol - Jonghyun & Jung Joon-young. A lot of songs really, but this one in particular.
20. A song that has many meanings to you
End of a Day - Jonghyun
Car Radio - Twenty-One Pilots
21. A favourite song with a person's name in the title
Lizzie Velasquez - Vernon (Seventeen). I'm also a mixed-race kid in Asia.
22. A song that moves you forward
Butterfly - BTS
Crystals - Of Monsters and Men
Breathe - Lee Hi
23. A song you think everybody should listen to
Melted - Akdong Musician
Symptoms - SHINee
24. A song by a band you wish were still together
Black Pearl - EXO. That hurt a little to type.
25. A song by an artist no longer living
Space Oddity/Starman - David Bowie
Aluminium - Broken Valentine
26. A song that makes you want to fall in love
A Hundred Reasons - Olafur Arnalds
Sweet Girl - B1A4
Like You - Jonghyun
27. A song that breaks your heart
Elevator - Jonghyun
Sorry - Jonghyun
Aside from Lizzie Velasquez, Jonghyun's songs are the only songs that have ever made me cry.
28. A song by an artist with a voice you love
Play Me - Taemin
Selene 6.23 - SHINee
Plus a ton of other songs but I gave up by this point. I'm bad at picking favourites.
29. A song you remember from your childhood
I Melt With You - Modern English
My parents only played music from their generation (and showed us movies from their generation) when I was kid and as a result, I actually believed bands like Queen were current and didn't know any bands from my own generation until all the other kids told me otherwise. And called me lots of names, as kids do.
30. A song that reminds you of yourself
Holding a Heart - Girl Named Toby
This took SO LONG.
