Iβm 32 years old now, married with responsibilities and a hectic schedule.
today I listened to the album after my therapy sessions (Iβm in the process of having my ADHD diagnosis)
I listened to the sounds first, then I listened to the sounds in order of the album list.
then I listened to it with English translation.
then I just read the songs. When you read the songs they read just like Sufi poetry, love poems for God, maybe love poems for GD, maybe a fantastical literary autobiography painted with renaissance water colour and blurred tones of surrealist art. Heβs writing about sothebys but he really made a collection of auditory art thatβs fit for sothebys.
it genuinely pulled me back to the days before social media existed. A writer like top is the antithesis of a viral TikTok song. You must listen with different lenses then read with different viewpoints. You must swap your senses with your body parts to truly truly absorb it.
and the craziest thing the most genius thing; the literary style translates perfectly from Korean into English.
At the end of the day, as I tried my best not to relate any of the songs to GTOP to avoid succumbing to my old biased feelings, I canβt help but remember these lyrics over and over again:
Do you know how long I waited, huh?
The day we first met, we spent our first night together
They say the darkest time is right before sunrise
I was a shut-in, cut off from society
I was always an outcast, you're a sleepy fairy.
we know how top joined YG. Thru his friendship with gd. We know whoβs been an outcast from a young age and who has always been a fairy on tv from a young age.
this is an ethereal poetic saga whoβs compass seems to lead to jiyong.
