Saturday Poetry Corner 55: 따뜻한 겨울 (Our Season)

 

First, but it definitely will not be the last, appearance of Kim Jonghyeon here in the series.

Throwback Thursday Part 52

Since today, as Twitter has taught me, is World Book Day, this time Throwback Thursday is to the songs inspired by books. Or short stories because Kim Jonghyeon.

My Love

Remember when I wrote the first post about the most wonderful human being, named Kim Jonghyeon? I've been worshiping him for years before that. The world lost its most spectacular, precious and pure treasure today.

I can't write. I can't think, and I'm barely able to function. I can't form any coherent thought. I can only cry.

And I will cry for the rest of my life.

08.04.1990 - 18.12.2017.

2015 Through Headphones

The year of 2015 was not the best in music. Surely, Jonghyeon and SHINee released an album and my review of the year could and probably should end here, but while going through some notes I made past year, I decided to make a monthly list with releases that are actually good. That is months worth mentioning
But then again, 2015 was not a good year in anything.
Without much ado, let's go!
Video heavy.

Kim Jonghyeon's End of a Day...

 

...is our end of sanity.
This post is just a redundant job to remind you how awesome our young man is.
The clima...tic MV for the song from his new album is below.

But at "The End Of The Day"...

...it all comes to Jonghyeon.
Bow down, nations.

Wake Me Up When...

 

  

    ...Koreans get their priorities right. Oh well, let's not be biased, let's say - when fandoms get their priorities straight, because what's been happening in September in our lovely Hallyuland, can turn a normal person into a raging Hulk within 0.00000001 sec.

September is an eventful month in this particular world. Kdrama-llama land may be barren and boring for months but when events start to happen, it's a deluge.

Blue Night Update 3

  

   I know, I'm not a good blogger recently, but I have no time these days. Granted, I watch dramas and try to commit to watching them (although God's Gift is somehow on hold now), and even to re-watch some dramas (hey, ladies!), but reading all the time allows me to listen to music more. And since I heard that Spotify actually pays a bit artists, I decided to go there whenever possible. They don't have everything but for most of the time I'm not complaining.

I also have my other source of music, that is Blue Night radio show. I have to admit, sometimes I feel like I'm making those playlists, but sometimes I don't know even a single artist there. Which is good, because I learn this way.
Beware, the post is video heavy so it may load slower.

Kim Jonghyeon - Gloomy Letter

 

March Music

After cursing to 10th generation, I started using different browser and until I fix problems with the previous one, I'll be posting using this. I stumbled upon some nice music all alone, since my work prevents me from listening to uri DJ on Blue Night (worry not, I manage to listen to the program nevertheless, nothing with mah baby can escape me!)

Blue Night Update 2

   Some people remember me doing similar thing when Namstar was appearing on Immortal Song 2. I guess I will be making a post once a week to present few songs from Jonghyeon's Blue Night radio show. I have to admit, his music scope is really, really borderless.

Two songs from Blue Night

   

   I know no one in the whole Galaxy will take this seriously when I say I find Blue Night, objectively speaking, a nice radio show. Jonghyeon being the host has absolutely nothing to do with this. Have no idea where people get this notion.

He prepares some nice music, and as everybody (every every body) could suspect, most of these songs are ballads, R'n'B and the likes.

Today's program taught me one name and I have to thank uri DJ for introducing one name to me.

Jonghyeon's Blue Night

   Oh, it won't be all that blue when I'll... oh, nevermind... 

The man loves music and songs and as I'm listening to it right now, Jonghyeon beside being his normal dorky self, introduces some nice songs as well, and sometimes (once so far, but it's only 33 minutes of the program) he sings as well.

My nuna hart can barely contain all these feels...

Let's sing the 2013 off!

   Oh well, not every year may be the fountain of new music springing from the depths of the world (and internets). 2013 was not that year.

World went crazy for Miley Tongus' racy video which for me was just a plain attempt coming from an attentionwh*re, thankfully Gangnam Style stopped being played in every damn radio station all over the globe, million new bands debuted and EXO had their ball-of-fur comeback.

Kim Jonghyeon in June

   

   It's because it's been a while I posted anything about this man.

Some of you know these, some does not. 

May The Music Be With You

Lame title, I know, but with recent news regarding SHINee's very own Dino and his accident, I'm happy I can actually write here.

As for new music, to be honest, nothing knocked me down my feet (SHINee excluded, thankyouverymuch), however I feel obliged to report on this 1% of whatever I'm listening to and maybe someone would find this useful. Doubtful, very doubtful, but whatever.

Jonghyeon's Not Back Yet

And looks like he won't be back so soon.
I rest my case.

April Music

   Ever since April 1st Jonghyeon has been in hospital, but the single with his song for King's Dream drama was released. Drama is a crap, but not the song. And before you judge me - I'm not a deaf fan saying all songs by someone are masterpieces and should be adorned with diamonds. I fiercely hate Jjong's Girls and Kangta's 7989. And I don't listen to those. 

Troll vs. Troll

   In case any of you thought I forgot mah baby just because I mentioned him only once today, no no. Kpop is full with weird or fun friendships (what can they do, they have no possibility to meet other people so...) but those two idiots erhmm... gentlemen erhmm...  guys troll each other in a way that amuses half of the fandom. The other half is annoyed by Jjong's very existence so it doesn't amuse them.

"Double, double toil and trouble;

Manekineko wishes you all good year and invites you to cray cray world^^

 ... Fire burn and cauldron bubble."

   A post totally made for fun and with fun (or frustrations, whatever). While I'm slowly trudging through award shows (12 parts to dl and watch), I prepared this for all of you to have fun.

There are "prediction posts" everywhere, in K-entertainment too, so to entertain ourselves, let's make predictions for year 2013.

What are your predictions? Free your mind, and the rest will follow^^
