Amazingly cute love song
Let me explain philosophically why 동경’s “Wish” is an incredibly cute love song. For that, we need to think a little about the sentence “Hell is other people.” Why are others in hell?
First, let’s think about the stages through which we recognize ourselves and others. We live with so many name tags. He is someone’s child, plays music outside, and loves cats. And even if we remove all of these labels about ourselves, we still sense our essential “self.”
But that’s not the case with other people. Other people can only be defined within relationships. For example, friends, mom, coworkers, etc. That’s why other people are hell. Because others cannot sense my existence without defining it. They bind me to their own perception system. But in love, that person becomes me. That’s why 동경’s “Wish” becomes an incredibly cute love song.
First of all, the lo-fi texture throughout “Wish” gives a soft impression. GILLA wove together sounds to convey the feeling of walking through a beautiful dream. Above that, 동경’s vocalist says in a soft voice, “It’s a new year, right? My wish is to be kind to you.” So, as love deepens, I become identified with the other person, and since I can’t treat myself carelessly, I say, “This year, my wish is to be kind to you.” In my dreams. Isn’t it so cute?
I can’t listen to such a cute love song alone. Would you like to listen together?
