#giriboy

i was bored, so i made a Giriboy edit lol

rules: when you get this, list five (5) songs you like to listen to!

okay! i’ll start with “And July,” the collaboration between Heize and Dean released in 2016 (though it’s also an album I’d love to own… unfortunately, it’s way too expensive even used, so I’ll just have to settle for listening to it on YouTube lol). And July is, i think, my favorite song in all of kpop. i can’t get enough of it, and i come back to it often every year, it’s like an anthem for summer or happy times.

next up, “Do It!” (香訓) by Giriboy from his album Sexual Perceptions (i ordered it and am eagerly awaiting its arrival! it’s my favorite Giriboy album!). right now i’m listening to “Do It!” a lot because i heard it on Show Me the Money 3 during his All Pass round and really loved his performance. it’s totally my kind of music.

another song i’m listening to a lot is “Disillusioned” by Daniel Caesar. it’s the song i started my public health internship with, so i associate it with that period of my life and with my colleagues and internship supervisor lol. they’re not crazy memories, but it’s something! i’m listening to it a lot right now because it’s mellow, and the end of the song is, in my opinion, addictive.

the second-to-last song i’d like to share is “Losing You” by Solange. i discovered it not too long ago, like 2 or 3 days ago lol, by clicking on a remix of this song and “Everything’s Embarrassing” by Sky Ferreira. i really liked it, so i was curious to check out “Losing You” without the production from “Everything’s Embarrassing,” and i totally fell for Solange’s style!

also, i’ve been listening to KAIIT’s “OG Luv Kush p.2” for so long now, and i just can’t get enough of it! i love what KAIIT says about a guy she doesn’t want to see anymore, it’s just so real! plus, the lyrics stick in your head easily, like “i feel like i’m your mama, cause it's so damn hard just to please you,” “i got no more OG Love Kush for you, bo boo,” and “and your, and your, and your breath smell like doo doo”, i sing them at the top of my lungs lol.

thank you @somethingsomething-else for tagging me! 🤍🪽

hi, thx for the ask!

i haven't really been following giriboy or khh much recently, so this is gonna be without much context and only about this song (idek if he has other new songs out 😅)

here are my thoughts:

- love the mv and its style. it seems kind of random but i like the color palette and the way giriboy is styled as well. his dark red sweater with the dark green/black etc.

- i like the overall melody and vibe of the song. due to the beat it does sound a bit chaotic, but it feels like there's a deeper sense of melancholy or something lying beneath? it makes me curious about what the song is actually about

- the beat is a bit much for me, maybe i'd get used to it but for now i probably won't listen to it often because of that

- i roughly auto-translated the lyrics and it seems the character saying the lyrics (=giriboy or could be a made-up character whose story he's telling) is fighting with his girlfriend, telling her she talks too much and he'd rather they both be quiet?? not too sure; if this interpretation is correct, to me that's pretty basic (reminds me of sik-k's noizy... when will they understand women won't have to repeat themselves so often if they just listened once 🙈) but ofc he can write about whatever he wants, it's art, etc.

overall, i've heard giriboy songs that i liked better and ones i liked much worse, so it's in the middle. i won't be adding it to my playlist for now because of the beat.
